This Is The Reality Folks !

Things I Procrastinate:

1. Going to work in the morning
2. Painting my house (thus the multi-colored walls)
3. Sending letters and thank you notes
4. Doing laundry/dishes - in fact, any type of housework.
5. Writing in my journal/reading my scriptures (yes, I am aware I am going to burn...)
6. Working out
7. Blogging
8. Planning Singing Time for Sunday
9. Welcoming new neighbors to the neighborhood (a year later..)

Things I Don't Procrastinate:

1. Reading other people's blogs
2. Going home from work
3. Dreaming about renovations I would like to do to my home
4. Watching "The Office" episodes
5. Finding music to put on my blog (lame - I know!)
6. Thinking up baby names for the child we dont have.
7. Becoming a super rock star on Rock Band
8. Looking for good deals on Craigslist
9. Any chance to be outdoors and active (tennis, basketball - whatever!)

So now that I have confessed my sins - what are yours?!

I Fall In Love With Running. Again.

Yesterday a miracle happened. I fell in love with running, again. My love affair with running started when I was a sophomore in college. My best friend and I ran every night together and talked about..well everything college girls talk about (I'll spare you the details). Anyhoo, my friend eventually moved to California to go to dental school and I went on my mission. I have been dying to run with somebody for the longest time! Finally, I bit the bullet yesterday and went running on my own. AND I LOVED IT! So I am so excited to fall in love again - with running.

Tired of the Chub!

Ok, so Terbear and I have officially decided we are tired of being chubby! So, we have set up a plan to lose a total of fourty pounds together (twenty pounds a piece) by the end of summer. Largely, I think our weight gain started when we were engaged and hasnt stopped since! And I'm sure it doesnt help that we eat late at night since we dont get home until about 8pm each weeknight. At 8pm, who really wants to cook anyways? Anyhoo, I am so excited to start running again. It was my passion before my mission and I just got out of the habit of doing it. So if you see me on the road, dont run me over! (Although a comforting thought is that if I do get run over, it will more than likely be by a super nice,expensive car).

Yesterday Terbear and I were talking about our life on the way home and we decided we are the most boring people on the planet! I do have to admit, though, when you leave for work at 6am and get home at about 8pm, its hard to be motivated to do anything else but fall into bed! Man - I do have to say that I can better appreciate what single parents do for their families. I dont have any children, but I can't imagine working, keeping a house up and taking care of the kids. I can barely work full-time and keep my house up (which would explain why there is still paint tape on my half painted walls from a year ago - literally!). So kudos to all those single parents or working moms out there that know how to do it all and keep a smile on their face !! :)
