Random Sherisms, and Random Tunes

Is it Friday already? Do I say this every week? I know. I do. But, it seems like the older I get, the faster life blows by. I'm totally convinced that 1 minute is actually faster now that it was when I was 5, or 10, or even 20. I really think the world is actually spinning faster than it used to. So, maybe when the world ends what will actually happen is it will spin out of control, out of line in the galaxy, and explode somewhere in outer space. And all the scientists will be trying as hard as they can to figure out how to make the earth stop spinning so fast, or to make it spin the other way, but it won't work. And the first sign will be some kind of crazy epidemic, where people get flu like symptoms, and at first they'll mistake it for some kind of swine flu or something, but really it's just vertigo from the earth spinning so fast.

Wouldn't that be crazy?

So, you know that blogging has gotten into your head, when you finally decide to put away the "little potty" (the training one), and have your 3 year old use the big potty. And the first time she comes running to you all excited, yelling that she went stinkers in the big potty all by herself, your first impulse is to go grab the camera, take a picture of the poop in the toilet, and blog about it.

Yeah, that thought actually crossed my mind this week. Lucky for you, I came to my senses before any pictures were taken.

KJ has been begging me for weeks, no, months, to get her haircut. She has several friends who have cut their hair in an A-line bob, and she wanted to do it, too. She kept complaining that her hair was itching her back, and she couldn't stand it anymore. I think she is just trying to fit in. I fought it for awhile. She has naturally curly hair, like me. A bob with curly hair looks more like mushroom head. (Remember my haircut dilemma?) Well, last week, I gave in. I took her to my friend, who lives up the street, and who cuts hair. Let me tell you, that woman is TALENTED! She did an amazing job. And KJ looks so cute, and grown up with her new haircut.

Since, I never really supplied after pictures of my hair cut (except my profile pic is after), here are before and after pics of KJ.

I'm really excited for this afternoon. C and I have a date planned to go watch Wolverine. (Gotta love me some Hugh). We agreed that since it's opening night, it will be crazy crowded, so we'll go see a matinee instead. So, after school gets out, I'm going to get my brother to babysit (which works out nicely because he'll need something to do while my parents go to my other brother's college graduation--Congratulations Nate!!). Then I'm going to meet C in Salt Lake, and we'll catch the movie, then get dinner.

Why are during-the-day dates, so much sexier than night dates? Maybe because they don't happen that often.

Like nooners. If C ever came home in the middle of the day, and the kids were all at school, he wouldn't be able to control me.

Just sayin'. TMI?

If you've been over to my Music blog lately, you'll notice that it's private. Well, of course it's not permanently private. I'm not so famous that I get to pick and choose who I want to be my fans. (Really, I'm desperate, I'll take anyone who'll listen to my music. Really. Seriously, go here, and be my fan. Please?)

No, MomBabe, has been working hard for me to redesign it, and combine my website and blog together. It's going to look awesome! There's another amazingly talented lady.

Thanks MomBabe!!

I have one more long run tomorrow before the marathon. I need to get one more 20 miler in to make sure I'm ready. Where did the time go? This race is creeping up fast. But, I feel good. I had a really great run yesterday. Had a nice chat with my friend, Laurie. She gave me this great idea, since I was whining and complaining about my massive weight gain phenomenon. She suggest I go off white. As in white sugar, flour, rice, pasta, etc. And go brown. Whole wheat, etc. My new take (which isn't really new, just wasn't implemented) is that I will eat foods that are closer to the earth. Laurie suggest to look at the ingredients. The fewer ingredient, the more natural it is. What she said that hit me, and that I didn't think of before, was that all the processing that white foods go through adds extra junk that our bodies can't use, so it just stores it. In fat. !Light bulb!!! If I only eat foods that are natural, that my body needs to burn energy, then I won't store so much blubber!

Oh, and she said to eat Breyer's ice cream. Less preservatives.

Yeah!!! So, who's with me? I need moral support. Who doesn't want to be more healthy?

I'm thinking about doing some kind of contest, but haven't really figured out exactly how yet. A kind of "see-who-can-go-without-sugar-the-longest" kind of contest. And maybe the person who caves first has to do something really embarrassing, like post pictures of themselves in a swimsuit or something (that would be motivation, right there)

What do you think? Are you IN?
