Don't worry, I'm not gonna start any sword fights. I'm over that phase.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

It's much cooler being a lefty. BTW, Kati wants to join the fun committee!

Now tagless for your comfort.

Thanks! And WOOT on the running! I signed up for a 5K in March and think I may try to do it all running, no walking. I don't even really like running. I just love a challenge! ha!

I'm the same. I am NOT a runner. But my twin sister is and she's signed us up for a 5 mile run here in March. The run is sponsored by the local brewery so there will be free beer at the end. But I definitely want to try to run the whole thing so it's my big challenge. I'm going to do a 5K next month with DH, too.

My biggest surprise was how much the quality of music affects how I run. I redid my shuffle list with some really good alternative rock and it helps me set a pace. Yellowcard's Ocean Avenue is a GREAT song to run to.

Always Anti-fascist!

Seriously, Scrappy. But I might be bitter cause my newsguy boyfriend is with a girl that *my* friends would make me feel like a perv for running with, and I'm a good bit younger than he is. But I guess somebody gets to chew the gum that comes with all those baseball cards.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Dag, scrappy. I have recently come around on 30 year age differences, but 22 is a little much. I think my minion is 24, and she's an idiot. I mean, age-appropriately so, but still. She's just barely an adult.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Allyson and Kristen, Mona is seriously adorable. You are lucky mommies and she's a lucky little puppers.

Scrappy, I feel a bit of a hypocrite for the way my eyebrows went up, but 30 years is a lot. Still, whatever floats yer boat I guess.

I went to my stretch class today and DH took the kids to the beach, then we all went to the farmers market together. I feel so LA. I went on to spoil the vibe a bit by daring the dreaded Costco, which was too crowded but everyone was super polite so it was okay.

I've been unbothered by high school people and strangers on FaceBook. But, I didn't really have any horrible high school people, lucky to say. They were all mostly... fine. I just jinxed myself, didn't I?

Man, Mona is a cutie head.

But I guess somebody gets to chew the gum that comes with all those baseball cards.

Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

Punishingly Intricate

hah! Just got off the phone with my folks. Guess who my dad went to mass with and my aunt (an ecumenical minister) served communion to tonight? Our new vice president!!! And some of his secret service people. My aunt said they went up with their little earbuds in. Also that the vp winked at her.

After mass he was talking to this woman who is teacher at my high school (an all girls catholic school) and he was talking about how he'd been banned from the street the school is on when he was in high school. Many boys at the other Catholic schools in town were though back then.

Also at mass was the former lt. governor of DE who many thought would be picked to take Biden's senate seat but who was passed over for the job. It's a very small state.
