Tu madre

Happy Mother's Day. Exhausting, long day with a couple perks here and there. Waking up to a homemade book/card from Aaron...HUGE perk, flowers, flowering plants, deeeeelicious Greek omelet (made by the sweet Nick)...also huge perks. Great time with family, did as little as humanly possible all day til Nick went to work; then I made a kickass stromboli for my Dad, Aaron and I :)


I've been a little emotionally unavailable...some of you have noticed, some probably haven't...there's a lot going on right now. We'll be fine but, could maybe use a few more prayers and positive thoughts than normal. I completed one week on the C25K program, also ran all the way to Aaron's school (not fast!), stopping twice...once for 30 seconds (I walked), and once due to a wardrobe malfunction. I don't know how long it took because I left my phone at home for the first time since 2001. But I know it took less than 20 minutes for sure because I was early. It's a little over a mile and a half. :p


I'm beat....long week of baseball, volunteering, teacher meetings, and American Idol'ing ahead.

I'm back! I need a new goal!

Apparently I only post well and often on here when there's some sort of goal or challenge. 


SO- I've started the Couch To 5K program (C25K)...let it be known, I will not be running marathons but, my goal is to run 5 miles (not sure how many K's that is) or 60 minutes straight. I like to be active, I'm NOT a runner though, especially after breaking my ankle. I'm looking to change that, though. I think it will actually be good for the old ankle, as well.


Also, in addition to my weekly reviews, song picks, and (coming soon) feature pieces on the Top Four American Idol contestants for http://blindedbysound.com/ I want to follow The Voice each week as well. I'll be reviewing it and posting it here on this blog. I love the concept so far, I was surprisingly entertained.


There we have it...a couple goals or projects to keep my flighty little brain occupied. Thanks for sticking around :)
