Summer in Spring

Well, it turns out I had nothing to fear. I ran the 10 miler on Sunday and beat my goal pace time. It's not like it was a super fast pace but for me it was really good for a long distance run. And I went back to compare my time from this year to my time when I ran in 2006 and I shaved off a few seconds off my pace as well. Hurrah! It was perfect weather and a perfect opportunity for me to just run and do some good reflecting on life. I swear I could figure out the answer to world peace while running. I feel like I can think through and solve any problems of mine when I run.

We are now on day three of our cleanse and I definitely miss the foods that I'm not supposed to eat. On the bright side Izzy is enjoying our meals. We're having a lot of vegetables, fruit, whole grains, water, teas and nuts and seeds. I'm really hoping this helps shed a couple pounds along the way as well as helping us revisit our diet and introduce foods back in that are good for us. This really is perfect timing though so that Izzy can learn to eat wholesome balanced meals and learn to love this kind of eating.

Sadly we have a sick Nugget. She had a fever last night and a little bit of a leftover fever this morning. I'm really hoping they don't call me from daycare to pick her up. We just need everybody in this house to be 100% healthy again. Please?

This weekend we're going to introduce Izzy to her new strider bike. This is going to be awesome! So far she has a helmet but she doesn't even know what it's for. :)

They are going to be so excited to soak up some Nana love. Izzy especially but the smiles that Joaquin will give you will melt you. He really has the gift of making you feel like you are the most special person in the world.
Love you! Can't wait till you're here!

Rules for a Break Up. They're out there, which actually apply?

Image
So, which rules apply to which situations? I mean, all break ups are different, well, most breakups are different. Ok, some break ups are different. There are different circumstances as to why the couple (or one of the involved) would decide to end their relationship. It could be an amicable end of a relationship (wishful thinking usually) or one where there's a lot of finger pointing and animosity brewing under the surface. I personally, go back and forth between wishing him well in his future endeavours and wishing him and his family a cursed existence. It varies from day to day, heck, even minute to minute. Sometimes, I just need to get a meal in me to regulate my blood sugar and I'm instantly more pleasant in talking about this topic. Let me just say (as if you can stop me, right?) that this blog post was a very fun one to research. It's hilarious what anyone can post on the internet and suddenly, they're a 'source'. heh. Ok, so all that being said. There...

Does blogging work like the government holiday schedule?

Image
Ok, I have no place to say but it seems like all bloggers are already on vacation. Is everyone that blogs really a government employee? I gots nothing showing on my Bloglines for the most part ('cept for Gibson, way to set an example... Oh, and Harms, you're not too much of a slacker either but you've been a busy bee, right?) and it's making me feel like maybe I shouldn't be at work either. Maybe we should all checkout and come back after New Years? It'd be ideal, except I don't work for the government and do have to worry that if there's no work, then there's no pay. No pay = Sad/hungry/cold Clussy. Wanted a change, so I cut the head hairs. I actually walked into Hair Cuttery (I know, I'm brave... or poor, whichever you want to go with), pointed to my hair and said "cut please. make it fun. not scurred to lose some length.". At that point, the overzealous Vietnamese lady went to town. I was good w/it at first but then she kept ...

The following are excerpts from the give blood website I was checking out today (in hopes of getting info to give blood at lunch) " Donating Blood ONLINE APPOINTMENT Schedule an appointment to donate whole blood. - Why the need to specify whole blood? No half blood, no partial blood. Noted. Do not donate if any of the following apply to you: SEXUAL HISTORY * You have engaged in sex for money or drugs since 1977. - Hmmm, good thing I held off on the Bordello idea... QUESTIONS ABOUT ELIGIBILITY You may need to wait before donating blood if you have any of these conditions: CONDITION Alcohol Consumption No wait unless intoxicated - HA! I love that they felt the need to mention this. Don't come to give blood while drunk. Noted. DONATION PROCESS * Prospective donors first complete a health history questionnaire and screening interview. * The next step involves a brief physical examination of blood pressure, pulse, temperature and a test for anemia. * If the prescribed medical r...
