back on the road again...

OK... so it's been awahile since I've done any sort of running. As in like 4 years. Well... I mean "official" running, with the whole outfit and all. I have been "running"... you know to the fridge and after my 2 year old. Oh, and well, I've worn a sports bra a few times too... when I was trying to hold up my milk bags after birthing the two boys... oh, and I've worn stretchy pants... mostly while pregnant b/c nothing else fit. I've also worn sneakers to work on occasion b/c I am NOT a big fan of heels and the such. However, for the first time in a LONG time I have worn all of these things together AND run... 3 miles to be exact, while pushing a jog stroller! That part made it a bit harder, but I won't use that as any sort of excuse. I have been sore ever since. It's a good feeling though. I like being sore... it reminds me that I've done something good for my body. I got myself a new pair of sneakers, a new feul belt and I am making a comeback people! I had to stick with the same old running watch because we are, afterall, in a recession. I am back and redy to rock it!

I'm in one of those moods so there will probably be a lot of cussing in this post

I am at the hair salon. I'm irritated. I only get so many minutes per week that I can call my own. I schedule things precisely so that I spend as little time away from my kids as possible. I know, weird, but that's where I am in life. Anyway, when I make a 3:00 appt to get my hair did, I expect to start at 3, not at 3:30. They can't fake me out by straight ironing my hair before I get it cut, because I can see right through their bullshit stall technique to cover the fact that haircut lady is late. All I want is a plain old, all one length, straight cut. Simple. I have to repeat myself 4 times "cut it as short as you can while still allowing a ponytail.". That wasn't clear so I say "ok, my only request is that I HAVE to be able to have a ponytail, but otherwise cut it short." Still not clear. So I say... "I want it short, but it has to be long enough to pull into a ponytail." Nope. Still not clear. Blog readers, can you please tell me how to word this request next time so I don't lose it on the haircut lady? Shit. It's not a difficult request. In fact, I know I could get it done at Fantastic Sam's, when in fact I am in a reputable Aveda salon. Is it so simple that it is too hard for their overly creative brains to comprehend? OMG.
Then, because haircolor lady is running late, cutlady is doing some bullshit fancy cutting on my blunt, simple, straight cut- spending WAY too much time on each section that I'm about to fucking scream. Look, I'll pay you the $40 whether it takes you 15 minutes or not... Don't sweat it... This is a no-brainer. I'm a sure thing. Cut the fucking hair and go smoke a cig, just GET IT DONE! Color lady finally gets started and now my scalp is burning off. Ahhh, the things we go through.

So important...

quickie update

I;m not going to go into why I haven't posted in awhile. See the last post.

Here is a quick update on what's been happening in life:

• I am feeling somewhat better... so that's a plus


• Greyson is talking more and more and in longer sentences every day... so cool and so cute!


• Jack started eating proteins... hopefully that will keep him fuller at night so he can get rid of that one night feeding. UGH!


• Greyson is into his "choo choo's" now. So cute watching him play with them. I have to admit I love playing too.


• Projects at work are keeping me busy... not a bad thing. I am actually enjoying it.


• Looking forward to a road-trip to Las Vegas for the 4th of July.


• Just saw "Bridesmaids" the movie and it was FREAKING HILARIOUS!!!!


• I plan to start training for my "come-back" marathon in July. Am getting excited for it!

So yes, I'm still out here, kicking it. I hope to start posting more regularly soon. But don't hold your breath!
