garden

i will count these as the "before" shots
and post some more soon.
thanks to all the TLC
the garden is hanging on in all this heat.
jalapenos are multiplying.
and cucumbers abound.

thank you to our good friends the bees.

three out of three

i started running last year.
it seemed like a good idea at the time.
then, i joined CMS (Cambridge Multi Sport)
also seemed like a good idea at the time.
now i have three sports to train in.
and new friends to train with.
so for now,
it's still a good idea.

in the last two weeks i have
swum 5 miles
run 32
and biked 158 miles.
its all relative.
but when you consider that
i never used to do any of it
it still feels
like a pretty good idea.
it just feels pretty good.

disco digs

a party to commemorate
we had all the disco trimmings
shades, and mirror balls, and lava lamps
glitz and glimmer

costume fun
and glowing straws.
we just can't disclose all the details. :-)

my fisherman

catch and release

a reason to get new running shoes

fingerprints aside

our latest home improvements.
these mirrors.
and the frames you can see hanging in the background.
i heart ikea.
and mom for treating me.

spring means mud

its been a while.
so now i have to look back at the good stuff and try to catch you up on life here in my little corner of the world.
and there's nothing like mud to make for a fun play date.
and despite the pathetic, sorry-looking faces,

you can't come in until you've had a bath.

book club

the reasons to come to my book club meetings:

• theme food- caramel cake and chocolate pie
  
• an era-appropriate play list
• a china-set table
• good conversation
  

who's in?

birthday

a rainbow of fun for my birthday celebration
mom and friends and homemade tortilla chips
laughter and lots of food...
who needs more?

friends

sometimes the cup of friendship just seems to be overflowing.
