Daily Workout

I did sprints on the treadmill this morning. Warm up followed by 20 seconds at 6 minute miles with 10 seconds off. Repeated for 6 rounds followed by a two minute rest pace and then 4 more rounds. Cool down and out.

Apples at the Chapel

The name. Once while arguing with Lisa she wanted to use the expression that I was preaching to the choir; instead she said I was selling Apples at the Chapel. It is now part of our family lore and I recommend that everyone start to use it in their daily speech.

I am Out of the Closet

I planned to build this blog up a bit before letting everyone know I was writing it, but I accidentally outed it by commenting on another blog and using the blogger login function.

Anyways, let’s hope for the best.

My Wife the Freak

Put all the kids in school. In our town we have one school just for kindergarten, so it is a very crowded place on the first day. You see the buses come up to the school and all the parents who put their kids on the bus 20 minutes before are standing there at the school to take pictures of their sweeties getting off the bus again. So our 5th and last child began school today and he was very excited. He has the same teacher who had his 3 brothers, so she knows what to expect.

This event has caused a large amount of stress for Lisa as part of her identity for the past 14 years is she is a SAHM. Without any kids that just makes her a maid. So here is the freak part. To redefine herself she has sign up for one to fulfill her true desires. Starting next week and running for 3 nights a week for the next 11 weeks she will be taking the H&R Block tax preparer’s course. That’s right, Lisa loves doing taxes.

Long Haired Freaky People

Cenneidigh got her hair cut for locks for love this week. And Lisa is about three months away from having long enough hair to cut for the same purpose. This, coupled with a friend who has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer, has motivated me to grow my hair out as well. The requirement is 10 inches and I just shaved my head last month, so I figure it will be at least a year until I get there. This is a post that could use a picture of a very cute Cenny with her new hair.

Two-Timer

We had the annual best ball 9-hole golf tournament at work last Friday. The team I was on last year got the special last place trophy, and this year with a new team made up of family members I repeated. We managed a 48 putting us 16 strokes behind the winners. With me, if I manage to get a ball in the air AND make it go straight at the same time, I have been successful. That rarely happens.

Patience

I am new at this and still need to learn how to add pictures, a side-bar, and embedded links. I will get there thanks to the handy dandy Publishing a Blog with Blogger book I got from the library.
