the hand cycle = $too much to disclose (i'm on a budget remember?!?)

a pair of gloves = $12

a trainer = $179

the new music for my iPod = $23

two space heaters = priceless

OH MY! OH MY! OH MY!

Real quick. I just got the best phone call EVER! Since I am now marathon addicted, I've looked at a few that I want to compete/participate in. I went to lunch with a friend, Nicole, who also ran in the St. George marathon. She was so excited because she had done her best time ever which qualified her to be able to run in the Boston Marathon. I told her that I was still waiting to hear back from them to see if my time from the St. George qualified me because that's also one that's on my list.
Well today I found out that my time of 2 hrs 26 min DOES qualify me with the 1 minute over exception since usually the cap is 2 hrs 25 min!!! I am so excited!!! Can you imagine if I had missed it by even more than that???? I would have been so pissed because if I would have known, I would have had a goal and would have busted my butt even more to hit it! Really I was more worried about just finishing the race seeing that I had no clue what I was really doing?!?!?
I'll keep you posted. It probably won't be until the 2010 race so that we can do it together but still. So freakin relieved and ecstatic!!!

The Reminder...

The other day I had some appointments downtown that finished up right in time to get me stuck in the 5pm homeward bound traffic. The way that the sun was setting, the slow traffic, the commuter news, etc, it all reminded me of the time in my life when I had been dead set on my career.

I almost threw up in my mouth. Seriously. (I think that I lost my soul there for a bit)

It gave me some time to think about how thankful, blessed, overjoyed (I could go on) but just how wonderful it is that I decided to be home with my 2 wild ones.

I love you, oogly boogly and you too, kinny

xoxoxo

"Lands End"??? Help!!!

So I was in complete denial last week and woke up to our yard being completely covered in snow. I was not prepared. Everything from last year was too small and in Carter's case...broken. Notice the safety pins keeping his coat together? Yeah...broken zipper. Yes. I freaked out and immediately called "Lands End" and $25o later...all new snow clothes expressed shipped out to our house. When will I ever learn???
