Once, Twice, Three Times a ...Maybe?

Day Two Overview:

• Poppy didn't act like a kidnap victim (plus)
• She's still nervous about cars (minus)
• Got a blister (minus)
• Right calf was sore all day (neutral- expected event)
• I am a wiz at making rice bag microwave compresses (plus! my leg felt so much better!)

old washcloth microwaveable rice compress.

going to make another come winter and use them for foot/ bed warmers. MMMmmm...

Day Three came pretty early. We were up kind of late with E.G.'s awesome sibs who had come to chill for a while and then E.G. and I watched our Netflix-ed Two and a Half Men. (Can I just say... I LOVE NETFLIX!!!) and stayed up wayyyy to late. So when The Boy (My 2yr old son) woke me up at 4:45 I made the executive decision to can the 5:45 alarm and skip the walk this morning. BUT! I did not 'do nothing' and did do some push ups and crunches, and will probably do another set tonight for good measure. Plus it will let my blister heal a bit.

It turned out to be a sound decision because today I got my Mother's Day Present!!!

Check it out ya'll!!

That's right. This deserves an extra large pic :c)

Yeah Baby!!

These are an updated version of the pair of running shoes I had in college (scored for $15 at Sears when I worked there a hundred million years ago. I sold shoes. On commission. It was miserable, but valuable. I learned a WHOLE LOT on that first job) They were THE. BEST. SHOES. EVER.  And I was excited to find the next generation of the classic running shoe. I mean I wore those babies slap- out and held on to them even after it was clear their soles had departed. So thanks to my Dear Evil Genius and The Girl and The Boy. The Girl and The Boy were ever so patient with yours truly. BTW: The Sears shoe dept. just ain't what it used to be. I was super under impressed. I bought these babies at Penny's for about $40 (on sale ya'll geesh!) I know that sounds pricey (it does to me anyway, but I'm a tightwad.) But these? SO worth it!!

Tomorrow morning, we get moving again!
