She’s So Random

I’m *pretty sure* I want to will run another half marathon in Austin at the end of March.  Like really, THE last day of March.  I’ve started training again like I’m going to do it but I’ve been eating like a pig lately peanut M&Ms are good. (I must be making up for low-carb lost time) and feeling kinda weird lately too, probably for that reason alone!

(Additional motivation is that my friends Lisa and Kim are going to be running the race and I really want to join them…)

Anyway, I had a massage (FINALLY!) on Wednesday morning and then yesterday I had this weird dizziness ALL morning and I basically laid on the couch while the kids played around me.  I have no idea if those 2 things are related and the massage was FAB.  But I have NO motivation, so far anyway, to run more than 3 times a week and I’ve also had some pesky headaches lately.  I plan to get up at 6:00 a.m. tomorrow and go run with a local running group for a 5-miler and I feel like I MUST step it up this time if I’m going to beat my time and be more prepared this go ’round.

But it’s HARD.  Tim has been working practically non-stop this week and taking care of kids is exhausting in itself sometimes…

I’m a little bummed to be missing out on Blissdom this year.  It was SO great last year and now the tweets and posts and general talking are gearing up for this year’s conference and I just wish I could beam myself over for at least one night.  There is talk on twitter that a “Flat Elaine” may make an appearance so if you’re going, keep on the look out for me, k?  Also, I told the girls (@BeccasCrazyBoys @prairiemama @ErinMargolin @angelaamman @Missy_Stevens) that it better be a FLAT Elaine and not a FAT Elaine. *ahem*

Are you people watching “Revenge”??  I love this show.  Which is really kidna funny becuase when I originally saw the previews I remember saying to Tim, “why would anyone want to watch such a mean spirited show??” and I can fully say now that it’s to escape from the “real world” for a bit.  It’s kinda like the old soap operas that I grew up with, so there may be a bit of nostalgia there too.  Tim said he read somewhere that they had to re-write the show from the original script because they didn’t think the show was going to last this long! Anyway, I like it A LOT.

Lastly, just want to thank Dumb Mom for the awesome Snapfish credit I won over the Summer for winning a photo contest at her place.  So far I’ve ordered a photo book of mine and Tim’s trip to New York City and a canvas from our Florida trip this past summer.  I adore them both.  So, thanks girl.  Please keep up the contests! 😉

Happy Weekend everyone…
