I'm back....

So, I haven't written anything in a while, and my loving husband has been harping on me. I've been working, six days in a row. That wouldn't really be bad, but I work nights - 12 to 8 - with 9 to 5 on Saturday, and 10 to 6 on Sunday. And, I'm on my feet, on concrete, all day. It's a menial, mindless job, and I'm looking for a new one.

Mark left Sunday, from the water park. We took the kids to Great Falls, after we walked three miles. Monday, I walked four miles with the puppies, and didn't work. Wednesday, Joshua wanted to come with me. That's tough. I told him he could come, as long as he could keep up. We did barely more than two miles. I had a goal that I wanted to do no less than three miles at a time. I know I have to adjust it all when the kids want to get involved. I didn't do any additional walking on Thursday, Friday, Saturday or today - Sunday. I do manage to get all my steps in - but I really need to start running.

You know, I always have these really interesting things to write about when I am walking, but it never makes it here, or onto paper. I can't even remember the stuff I was going to write about - I guess I need a Droid - that way I can do it right when I'm thinking about it. I really am funny. Well, I amuse myself, anyway. There are times when I literally make myself laugh.

Mark set a goal for me - to do eight (8) miles at one shot by his birthday - which is Friday. I believe I can do it - not worried about that at all - it's just gonna take me some time. Time - I hear people at the store all the time, saying that they're just killing time. That's horrible - I want to enjoy my time, not kill it. Even with five minutes, I could do something constructive.

Hey - here's one of those things that I thought about the other night, and didn't have a Droid to share with you. My butt muscles are sore!!! There's two things about that statement that are important. Really, you ask, how? First - I HAVE BUTT MUSCLES! That's too freakin cool to me. Second - they're sore - which only tells me that they are "aching" for me to do more. LOL See how I can amuse myself. Kris (from work) told me that what they were really saying is, "Stop it, you idiot." He might be right, but it doesn't further my goal, so I choose to believe my theory.

Oh, here's another one - I really need a Droid - I could have done this one from the pool. I'm losing butt and boobs. How's that for a title. It's really nice that I put on my bathing suit and it's loose on the top and bottom. I couldn't believe it! It hasn't been that long - longer than most people actually training for a marathon, but not long, and my body shape has changed. I've noticed, just recently, that my thighs are better, too. I still have "saddlebags," but I also have some nice muscle. I could stand for my boobs to stay the same size, or even grow - I would love it if I could just squeeze the bottom up to the top, but it ain't gonna happen. I think most guys feel the same way. Mark and I talked about a boob job later, but I think what we came up with as a cost effective solution was nipple rings and suspenders. I think I'll pass.

I'm going to try to walk tomorrow - I'm hoping for six miles. Isis was spayed today, so she can't go, and she'll be devastated. I don't want the kids to go, and I don't want it to be hot. So, I get up and walk first thing. Mark goes to a class tomorrow night for his birthday. We got him the Utah concealed carry class. He should be good almost anywhere he goes.

So, until next time - I'll be out there - work Tuesday through Friday, walking at least three miles at a shot in the morning, for at least three of those days. If I think of anything cool, I'll try to remember it. I'd love to know what you're doing. Beginning or experienced. Light and easy, or hardcore. Let me know!
