Shamrock Shuffle 2008…

angie1 Comment

Done!! A slower than last year but considering that I haven’t been running, I consider this a success. My official time was 1:00:13.

The weather was just a huge difference than last year. Last year it was sunny and warm. This year: it was cold, cloudy, windy and there was a brief snow shower. But we survived.

Oh yeah, I ran with Manda this year. Last year she couldn’t make it due to injury but she was healthy this year. We are just happy we finished it in one piece.

I hope she doesn’t mind but I am borrowing this picture of us.

Done!

Birthday Party Plans…

I can’t believe in less than four months Diego will be three. 😯 Time has surely flown by. So it is time to start planning for his birthday parties. We are doing it in the same forest preserve we did it last year at Labagh Woods. Different grove but same area. We just figured it is in a good location, not expensive to get the permit, lots of parking and everyone seems to have a ball there.

We may have something smaller a week later for Diego’s friends and our friends so it won’t be too crazy like the family party.

This year’s theme will be Mickey Mouse. I can’t to start getting stuff!

Punched In The Stomach…

I also feel like they stabbed me in the back.  It will be a while before my comfort level goes back to what it was.  Thank goodness Eric is the voice of reasoning or else we would be in big trouble.  I guess the grass is always greener, right?

Potty Update…

I don’t want to jinx this but I think Diego is on his way to being potty trained.  He is getting better at telling us when he has to go to the potty for both no. 1 and no. 2.  He had one accident each day (Sunday, Monday and Tuesday) but none the rest of the day.  And Friday and Saturday, he took a nap and woke up dry.  And he woke up dry on Saturday and this morning then he asked to go potty when he wanted not when I asked him.

We still going to put him in a nighttime Pull Up for a few more nights.  This is very exciting news!!!

We see the light at the end of the tunnel!

Vacation Update…

So far so good. My vacation has been approved. Maggie’s vacation has been approved. Eric’s vacation has been approved BUT he will be working longer hours. Which is fine as long as he can be home a couple times a week so Diego can hang out with his papa.

I am just so excited that the vacation days are locked down. We just need to pay our bills or get them as low as we can so they won’t be such a burden when we get back from our trip.

Only 54 days until vacation!!!!! Yipppeeee!! (Can you tell I am excited?)

Wacky 5K Run…

Well, it’s over. Not sure of the official time but I am guessing 33:35. Anything under 35 minutes in good in my book. Okay, so I survived this. Now lets get my booty back in running shape. 🙂

UPDATE: The official time: 32:38

Yippeeeee!! It is only a minute slower than my last 5K back in Sept. 07. I am doing my dance of joy. 🙂
