Believe It!

I want you to close your eyes and use your brain for a moment with me. Think of a girl that weighs about 230 pounds. She has a few kids, has a good size front butt, not too bad legs. A slight double chin, regular size ankles. Can you see her in your minds? She is about 5"6'. Does that help? Okay now that you have your big girl in your mind. Dress her in athletic wear down to the shoes. How does she look? A little out of place, maybe, but dress her anyway. She might need two sport bras to help wield the beasts. There you go. So, now you have your chubby girl in running clothes, ready to go. What are you going to do with her? No, don't give her a donut, she obviously doesn't need it. I have an idea. Let's drive her to Bryce Canyon and have her run 13.1 miles. NO, you say? Oh yes, I say. She can do it. She has been running since May and she can do it. Perhaps she will place 356th overall out of about 1000 people, 92th in her age group with a finishing time of 2:35:08.8. Crazy idea, I know, but if this big girl can do it, so can you!

Photo Op.

These boys may want to kill each other half the time, but they will always pause for a nice photo shot. This was taken on Friday at Bryce Canyon National Park. They fought the entire way down and back. It was horrible.





It took us almost 6 hours to get home. I am glad that they are boys!






I added this just in case you thought the previous post was farse!

New Link for Awesome Website!

If you will direct your eyes to the top right hand side of the screen above the "About Me" section, you will see that I have a new link to
Sage Creek Jewelry.
It is a baby blog, just getting started. If you love jewelry, even if you don't go check it out. I have a necklace and matching earrings from Sage Creek. Every time I wear it, without fail, I get a compliment. You can click on the pictures to make them larger in another screen. The quality is amazing. The detail alluring. This is my new favorite place to buy necklaces and earrings. GO LOOK AT IT NOW! I know you will be hooked. By way of copyrights, I stole a picture from the blog. I hope the owner doesn't mind. What are you waiting for? Get off my page and go look!

We need more exposure!

Just moments ago I was checking my email on yahoo. Yahoo is powered by adds, of course. Hunter loves to sit by me and look at them across the top of the screen. With the presidential election coming up we have been swamped with "Vote for me, and all your wildest dreams will come true" adds. I refreshed the screen and a new add popped up. It was a Barack Obama add. His big smile flashed across the add. Hunter got all excited and said, "Look mom Tiger Woods is on our computer!" My kids definitely need to get out more!

Not in the mood

I haven't been in the mood lately. For what? You are thinking. For anything. I am not in the mood to make my bed, do laundry, dishes, water the lawn, deal with kids, blog, be nice. You name it, I am not in the mood. I have been trying to think of something witty to say, maybe a nice story to start the afternoon. (It is nearly noon now, I just finished breakfast. Sad, I know.) Alas I cannot think of anything nice. It is a proverbial expression. I use it a lot. "I am not the mood to listen to you fight." "I am not in the mood to discuss it." "I am not in the mood for you to cry at me all day about your brother playing with a small part that was pulled from a nameless toy in your room. It is not your special toy. You only care because he wants it."

Is anyone else not in the mood? Am I the only bleak person out there? Come on folks, wipe those stupid grins off your faces and tell me...Are you in the mood?
