You are all clearly dying to know what I've been doing to keep myself so busy. SO, I'll tell you.
I've been Avoiding Running, which is practically a full time job. I'm getting some top notch work-outs in the process, though. On Monday, Dani and I ran up and down the bleachers at a local school. We did this for the better part of 45 mins. It was a challenge. Yesterday I woke up quite sore, with a soreness more sore than a soreness ought to be. I dreaded today. The second day is always the worst, you know. Today, I wince to ascend stairs, I weep to stand on my toes. For some reason, the exertion taxed my calves in a sadistic way. They hurt. Perhaps I was running on my toes. I've been also doing lots of martial arts and weight training. I'm very athletic, but I am still avoiding running. The Half Marathon is in two months. I am going to have a heart attack and die in two months. Just so you know.
But Lent is going well, so I have that going for me. You know, of course, that I gave up alcohol. I'm redicovering all kids of other drinks. Ginger ale, sparkling water, fruit smoothies. The only time I really miss the alcohol is when I have a bad headache, or the kids are bugging me.
We've been planning vacations, too. We are going to California; Maui,Hawaii; Yellowstone National Park; Somewhere in Virginia; and Paul, Idaho. I know you envy me that last one, eh? It's for my friend's daughter's wedding. We need to find ourselves a reliable housesitter. Any names spring to mind?
It's lots of planning.
You saw Maui on the list, so you know I am shopping for swimwear. That is time consuming, and also depressing.
Lacrosse season is upon us, so we've been going to pre-season games and practices with the younglings. I love lacrosse as a game. I'm like one of those freaked out football fans. I wear my team colors, paint my skin to match, and scream like a coach from the sidelines. I have yet to be ejected from a game, but the season is just beginning, so there's a chance it will happen.
That's what I've been doing. You?

Where in Virginia and when? You know I will never, ever forgive you if you come all the way across the country to my state and don't visit!
I'm coming with my group of BFFs over Labor Day weekend for the Boise State University -vs- VA Tech game. Isn't that too fun? We're staying in a town called....something I can't remember. Leesburg or Haymarket. You live in one, and Heidi lives in the other. Heidi is putting up with us all for the weekend. Hasn't Jo told you all this? You guys are totally metting up with us!
Johanna has told me nothing! I live in Leesburg, so you must be going to Haymarket. How much fun!
Oh! Oh! Get kicked out of the game! That'd be fun! Just make sure I'm there to see it. ;)
I'll house sit for you, Kelly!!
xxoo,
Meichele
