Did she really just blog?

Geez Louise, I’ve been struggling for almost two months now just to write another blog post.  So much has happened and yet nothing has happened. So let me catch you up briefly:

Running: Yep, still doing it.  October 7th for the Portland Marathon is looming.  My long run this next weekend will be 19 miles give or take 19 miles.  Feeling good.  Feeling tired.  Not doing well at adding more sleep to my schedule.  My midweek runs are just long enough that I will be able to finish the marathon.  I’m kind of disappointed that I didn’t follow through on a better, more consistent training plan.  Part of that I will blame on the hubs as he is training along with me and his work schedule is busier than mine.

Kids: We have just three teens under the roof now….and they all have their own bedroom.  There is much less violence under this roof now.  Makes me happy!

Stuff: I’ve got a baby quilt in the works, a furniture refinishing project that is plugging along, and birthday cake rice crispy treats do nothing for my weight-loss goals.

Work: Still living the life of a banker.  I love my clients and I’m so happy that they don’t laugh at me when I count on my fingers.

Marriage: The hubs and I celebrated 4 years!  We snuck away for a quick trip to our favorite place that we can sneak away to quickly…Bend, Oregon.  For two years now, we have timed it to catch a production of Shakespeare in the park.  This year, it was Romeo and Juliet.  I easily figured out a way for there not to be such a tragic ending.  I liked my chick flick version better.
