Random Thoughts during Monday Lunch

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks sending a kid + parent to traffic court for a burned out headlight seems like overkill. But the law is the law...and there's no way around it, so to traffic court we will go!

Did Week 4 Day 1 pushups this morning. Yowza, these are getting tough. I kinda cheated this time around. Decided to start at week 2 (instead of column 2) based on my initial test and I haven't done an exhaustion test yet because I have no plans of moving out of column 1. But I'm making progress! Today was 12-14-11-10-16 for a grand total of 63 pushups. Not too shabby, if I do say so myself.

Came home for lunch today after returning a pair of driving glasses (long story) and I have another eye appt tomorrow to check on my updated mono vision contact prescription. I wish my eyes weren't so complicated.

Speaking of lunch, I had a much more reasonable lunch than on Saturday: turkey and hummus on a whole wheat english muffin with a side of low fat cottage cheese and blueberries.

As some of you know, I succumbed to the land of Facebook yesterday. Feel free to "find me" but understand that I'm still figuring that out.

The Run Group is starting hill repeats this week on Thursday. Am I strange for actually looking forward to that?!?!

We've had crazy weather lately. It even snowed on Friday. Wahhhh!! I want spring to come back.

The kids had spring break last week. This week is standardized testing, which doesn't apply to high school freshmen, so Daughter goes to school Mon & Tues this week and has another three days off. Doesn't make a lot of sense to me, but she's certainly happy about it!

  5. 63 push-ups? Great progress!

    I'm going to have an eye test next week... for the first time in about ten years. (I don't wear glasses [yet] but my doc always suggests regular eye testing anyway... I'm finally getting around to it.)

    I love hills, too. In a hateful kind of way. :)

  8. I'm stoked that you're on FB now! It's soooo much easier to keep tabs in peeps. A quick 5 minute scroll through everyone's status update and you're filled in :-)

  14. That many push ups is pretty darn amazing in my opinion.

    Hope facebook doesn't steal away your life - I don't know what I'd do without it.

  15. I'm so impressed by your push-ups, my arms are so pathetically wimpy!

  16. Ooh! Look who got all fancy with her fonts! Did your friends at Facebook teach you that? *crosses arms petulantly*

    I am loving your vacation series and I am very sorry about your son's ticket. I have been to traffic school more times than I would like to admit.

    I can't wait for the push up tri!! You are going to ROCK it and your report is going to be so awesome!

  18. That seems crazy that you have to go to traffic court over a headlight. I have tons of friends who have been stopped for that and told to just get it fixed.

  19. I can't believe you guys had snow!!

  20. woo hoo, another friend on FB (I've only been on for a few weeks). kids just don't seem to go to school much these days. They even go to school late 2 days a week to give teachers time to catch up.

  21. Well done on the pushups - you must feel very proud of your efforts (and your toned arms!)
