Hope you don't mind

Blogger provides a great tool, comparative to Google Reader, to follow blogs. If you look at the bottom of your "dashboard" you see a title called "Reading." THere you can keep track of all of your favorite blogs, so when you want to see if anyone has added anything new, you can just look there. I have noticed as I have looked at others' blogs, they have a box that shows who is following them, on several, I am the only one! I will have you know I am not a stalker or i am not watching your every blogging move. It is just a time saving way to keep up on everyone's lives and not have to take too much time doing it. I love reading what everyone is up to. I am glad that we can keep up with each other since we don't see each other every day!

This is from our evening. Daddy was pretending to be asleep. And don't worry, she didn't get hurt!

re-committed yet again


I fall off the exercise wagon all the time. so again, I have gotten into a routine. We have moved the treadmill into our family room, much to Gary's dismay (he doesn't like it being the first thing you see when you come into our house). But it has made a huge difference in my motivation and accessibility. Jill can watch cartoons while I run. I also have started doing it in the morning, because by the time the evening comes, I just want to play with my family. It is a great stress-reliever for me to be able to escape from all the crud swirling around. If you have itunes check out Dan Evans "Going All Out- Exercise mix" Great workout song!

The Disneyland balloon


As we purchased the overpriced balloon at Disneyland, we asked how long would it last. The vendor said about 12 hours. About 25 days later it is now on the floor. Sunday was its last day floating thru the air. Amazing.
