what to say

OK, so I've done something that I never thought I'd do. I signed up to walk/run a half marathon. I know, I freaking nuts!! Sarah and her friend Jenny do a half marathon every January in Disney World. And they told their Mothers, the only way we could come was to sign up and do the marathon. Which we did. What were we thinking. I think I had chest pains after I hit submit!!! LOL
Even though my daughter tells me you can train for a half marathon in 3 months, she's started my training now. Right now my goal is not to pass out at the gym - LOL. No, my goal is to walk a 15 minute mile - 4 miles in an hour. I'm not sure I can do it, but my daughter is confident that I can. Will keep you posted on my progress.

AH Ha moment

I had a ah-ha moment this past weekend. You know when something just clicks and you go - ohhh, that's it.
I was looking at my bathroom in my house, which I've only lived in 18 months. I LOVE MY BATHROOM. I love the color - the white tiles - everything. But I was thinking, 'I wonder how long you go before you have to paint again'.... In my other house, we did re-do the kitchen, family room, all bedrooms and baths - but didn't do it again. And we lived in the house 20+ years. But then I was thinking, when I was growing up - we moved alot. Approximately every 2 years. We'd move in a house, paint and then move. So growing up, I never experienced getting tired of the look of a room and re-doing it. Does that make sense? We just moved and then would paint our new bedrooms a different color and get new bedspreads, curtains etc. My house in Happy Creek - were I lived for 21 years - was the longest I ever lived ANYWHERE - by like 18 years. LOL
