First, though, I wll do a mini report:I did run and swim tonight. Wondering a bit about backing off the workout - I've got to look into that. Also thinking a lot about nutrition Fri/Sat/Sun.
Richy bought me some kick arse PINK handlebar tape tonight ($17.00 !!! yikes) because he knew I HAD to have it. Tomorrow my friend AllyCat (the boy Ally, not to be confused with AliKat) is going to wrap my handlebars for me!!! Planning to have some fun tomorrow night with my little friend Jo Jo (Jay Jay, Jordyn) and Iz. Going to take tomorrow completely OFF. Then Friday, open water swim with AliKat (girl version) - we will again attempt the SMCC swim!!
Ooops - I have still not run the run leg of the course. Whoooopsie! I might have to bike it or drive it so I have some idea of what to expect. My ears still hurt. I have raised a SHIT-LOAD (that is a scientific form of measurement, FYI) of money for the Maine Cancer Foundation. I'm so happy and excited!!
Ok, start the wandering mind....I had a whole bunch to say a minute ago, then started writing about the technical training stuff (Dull) and now it's as if I have just downed a shot they call the "Mind Eraser" - a bevvie I have, at some God awful point in my life, actually ingested.
- I am a copy-KAT. This blog was inspired by the following excellent blog:
http://jendimond.blogspot.com/ - I did ask Jen, before I started, how she would feel about me modeling a blog after her clever idea. She was flattered and so on I went. It started as Thirty Nine for 39 with the notion that I would also attempt to do 39 pretty darn cool things before I turn 40. I never really made a list. The blog has sort of morphed into a "See Beth Run" blog...I will say that it has kept me on track and made me feel accountable. - I love my dog so much it hurts. I kiss her on the lips ALL the time. I can't get enough of her.
- My 8 year old monster of a daughter still sleeps in between Rich and I about 80% of the time.
- I worry about Izzy's self-esteem and body image issues and am constantly trying to figure out subtle ways to promote positive self image so she can enjoy life in a confident way. I want her to know she has the power to do whatever she wants.
- I am possibly the most impatient person alive.
- I think about giving birth to another baby a lot. I do not, however, want another child. My labor and birthing experience was the most incredible thing I have ever done.
- My house is a mess.
- I wonder why I can't accept that if something has been hidden in the back of my closet or behind my bed since the last time my in-laws visited, then I probably don't need it. I'm talking about unfolded laundry, crafty stuff and anything else that happened to be on the kitchen table or my window seat 10 minutes before my MIL and FIL drove up.
- I have a wicked sense of smell. Richy does not.
- I love pink. Both the color and the artist.
- I stay up way too late.
- One of the things I love the most is when my little soccer players call me "Coach Penny" off the field.
- I have so many fond recollections of going to the Topsham Public Library with my mother during summer vacations.
- I love giving people nicknames.
- I am considering going to see my doctor about my PERSPIRATION PROBLEM. I started to type "sweating" but I'm thinking perspiration is much more..sophisticated. Boys sweat, girls perspire?? But my dear friend Anna, you see, she does not sweat, she GLISTENS. I want to glisten like ANNA! For some reason I sweat like a frickin pig..wondering now, do pigs actually sweat a lot?
- I feel the need to change my font and text color OFTEN.
- I am incredibly thankful for the 2 women who made me go to the Wells High School basketball game back in 1995.
- I hate milk.
- I wish my brother and sister-in-law lived closer.
- I wish my brother would ask his girlfriend to get hitched.
- I wish my sister knew how much I loved her purty face.
- I miss my MOM.
- I hate that I am so incredibly insecure.
- I have never, ever, in my life, eaten so many Dairy Queen Blizzards (chocolate ice cream w/Reese's. Extra Reese's. Did you know you can order EXTRA PB CUPS?? OMG, do it!) as I have during the summer of 2010.
- I have a love/hate relationship with Girl Scouts.
- I have the best job I could ever hope to have.
- I used to think there were no friends like old friends, but I have learned in the past 3 years that new friends can become real friends and BFF Friends, in a way I never realized before.
- My mouth moves faster than my brain and I hurt peoples' feelings with either my tone or my words more than I wish to admit.
- My husband and sister rarely apologize when they are wrong. I don't understand this.
- I need someone to get me on the show "WHAT NOT TO WEAR" - and fast.
- My toe nails are currently MINT. Thanks Lisa!
- Doughnuts are soo good and I can not resist them. Frosty's Honey Dipped or The Cookie Jar Glazed Cruller.
- I took Izzy and Sara to camp at Small School for 6 weeks and not once did I go to Scratch Bakery.
- It has taken me a very long time to realize that expectations almost always lead to disappointment.
- I am starting to really enjoy talking to strangers that I meet when I'm out and about. Today I had a nice convo with 3 lovely ladies, probably in their 60s, who are usually at the track walking when I run.
- That said, in a situation like the swim clinic, when I did not know a sole, I was shy, quiet and kept to myself. I can't seem to figure this out.
- I miss reading.
- I drove to my friend Erin's today with my phone and ITouch on the hood of my car. It took me 3 times retracing my route to finally spot them on the side of the road.
- My husband would have been very disappointed if I had lost them or if they had been crushed by the trash truck.
- My husband would kill me if I ever got The Boot.
- Hawaii is some place I think of often.
- I wish I had studied in college.
- I wonder A LOT how different my high school, college and sports experiences might have been if I (or someone else) had realized that I struggle with ADD.
- Thank GOD for meds and a great Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner!!!
- I am addicted to Facebook, Scrabble on my ITouch, and checking my email.
- My family is my success.
- I wonder what my life's purpose is.
OK, if you're still reading this, I'm sorry I babbled wayyy longer than I anticipated.
Very therapeutic though.
Night.
Me.
