A Zippity Doo Dah Day!

Notes of this kind are found all over Korea--DMZ, Seoul Tower, etc. People visit, then leave notes behind declaring their love for one another.

All the gear.


When in Rome...

All geared up and ready to GO!

And he's off!


This is me. The one and ONLY picture. I tried to go no handed,  which I discovered is challenging to do while in a seated position. Much easier laying down as I did in course number 7 and 9!

Chris. On this one we had a magnetic dart that we were to throw at the target. 

Chris throwing the dart.

Victorious. A fitting add to his birthday, Chris hit the target!

A view from mid-flight.

The view looking down. Chris refused to look down, but I did! ;)

Another beautiful mid-flight view. It was a picture perfect day.

The truck of death. We were more afraid riding on this open rear truck than on the zip line; however, I was thankful I was able to ride up the mountain rather than walk!

Chris' prize for hitting the target--a fire extinguisher. Strange gift for the situation, but perfect for Korea ;)

Chris turned 35 yesterday. Wow, an old man! Ha. When asked what he wanted to do for his birthday, he surprisingly said he wanted to zipline. He actually had no desire to hang from a string over the treetops, but he knew I have wanted to do this for sometime, so he took one for the team. What a guy! We dropped the kids off with their Korean Mother, Ms. Kim :) and we were on our way. It was awesome! Here are the highlights of our 9 different ziplining courses.

Happy Halloween!

The Halloween festivities are in full swing here. We attended a "Fall Festival" at my school on Thursday evening and today we enjoyed a "fall festival" at the girls' school. We've managed to keep their costumes a secret until Wednesday when Claire spilled the beans. She was doing so well at keeping the secret, I almost thought she wasn't our child for awhile ;) Claire dressed as "Pinkalicious" and Mya was a cupcake. My Mom and Dad bought Claire the book, "Pinkalicious" for her first birthday. It has been an on-going hit with our girls. They both have the entire book memorized. It is such a cute book where this girl named "Pinkalicious" loves pink. She eats too many pink cupcakes and turns pink, which she is thinks is simply beautiful then red, which is less than favorable. She eats her vegetables to turn alleviate her pain. In the meantime, her little brother is envious and devours the last one, then turns pink too. It is a ...

0.0

Yes, indeeedy do. 0.0 is exactly the amount of weight I lost this week. Irritating! Here's the breakdown: number of times I cheated on my diet--ZERO! number of times I worked out--FIVE!! (running, no less). Now that is a mean, mean slap in the face. After I picked myself off the floor and resisted the urge to throw the scale through my window, I've come to realize that it is time to call in the big guns. There will be no messing around. Through a very valuable (HA!--sense the sarcasm) inservice this year, I've learned that I am "Green," meaning logical, research based, problem solver, mathmatical thinker. I am applying the same thought and strategy to my 'get fit' adventure. There will be no relying on the treadmill to tell me how much I've burned. That thing lies, LIES, LIES!! Take for example, the fact that each time I worked out, I burned at least 300 calories--most often 350, my pulse was around 87 (which is pretty much a near death resting ...

A post

You wanted it, you asked for it, so here it is. A post. Hopefully this post will satisfy all your desires. I am not writing about the apple of my eye, Claire, but of the other apple of my eye--reality tv. I love it! Right now I am getting my fill of Big Brother. I have even lured Chris into my dark place. He mostly watched last season because Dick was such a jerk, but Chris is hooked. He's a dedicated viewer once again this season. Sadly, he was a fan of Matty who was kicked off a few weeks ago. I don't think I have a favorite. I find them all to be so obnoxious, yet I watch. Go figure. I obviously need some more excitement in my life. Girls who wear butt showing shorts, screaming matches, verbal abuse, crazy eyes, back stabbing, boys running around in their colored tighty whiteys (if tighty whiteys are colored, are they still called tighty whiteys?)---all in one episode! It is a gold mine. My second can't miss show is Housewives of Orange County or New York City. I really ...
