Randomness is the New Methodical

Out of respect for my scattered-brain, I decided to go random tonight in my blogging.


I'm in Love
It's not uncommon for me to profess my love for inanimate objects. I've proposed marriage to strong, hot cups of coffee. I've fallen in love with many Italian Gelatos in my life. I've even had my knees go weak & my heart throb when seeing a beautiful, shiny 1968 Mustang Convertible or a sweet, custom Harley Davidson.

Today was a great day in the love department:

• I got to go on the Roller Table at the chiropractor's today. I LOVE the Rollie Table! The Roller Table is a cushioned table that has rollers under the upholstery that move along the spine/back in a wave-like motion. I always fall asleep on it. Ahhhh... I wish I had a Rollie Table.

• I also found and fell in love with these:

After falling asleep at the chiropractor's and then again at the
physical therapist (yep, there too), I decided I needed some caffeine.
And chocolate.
I found both in one little chocolate bar.

Randomness Regarding Physical Therapy

• I did not get the same PT I had last week. This was disappointing. Today's PT was nice but not as good as the guy from last week. I always prefer men health practitioners over women, for some reason. Still... I guess it's better than having the the Hulk.

• I fell asleep on the therapy table while going through shock treatment (or whatever it's called when they attach those little electrode things to sore muscles).
  

Zzzzzzzz...

• I can't do just nothing for very long at all without falling asleep. I can't even sit through a complete church service. I usually end up having to walk out part-way through the service... which does not look good when your husband works at the church.

• This falling asleep thing never happened before I had kids. Hmmm...
  

Count Me Out... For Now

Tomorrow my training group is doing a 10-mile trail run/walk. I was planning to walk it since my knee/leg feels so much better. As it turns out, I won't be able to go because my husband is "on call" to possibly to some audio work for his old company (Jazzercize, Inc.). If they end up needing him, it will be decent money (and who can't use that these days?!).

I'm disappointed, but I figure it will be good to give my leg a rest for one more week before we do an even longer run/walk next Saturday.

My Four Year Old

My youngest little guy is so funny! He is mischievous, charming, and cute. There is never a dull moment with him around. If you don't believe me, read on...

• Yesterday he sucked some ants up through a straw and decided they taste pretty good. I never thought I'd have to tell one of my kids to stop eating ants.

• Today he licked the cat's face. I'm waiting for him to cough up a fur ball.

• When he doesn't want to do something, he claims his knee hurts (sound familiar?).

• He will swear up and down that he is not 4 years old... he's 7 years old. That's how old his big brother is.

• He wears flip-flops 363 days out of the year. Getting shoes on him practically takes an act of God.
  

• He LOVES Hawaiian print shirts.
  

• Because of his flip-flops and shirts, we call him Jimmy Buffett (don't worry, he does not drink Margaritas).
  

Thanks for reading my random ramblings! One of these days... hopefully sooner than later... I'll be able to post about running, walking, miles, pace, minutes, hills, chaffing, trails, roads, and the questionable goodness of Gu again!

Happy running, everyone! And for those of you who have races (and there are quite a few of you)... Good luck & have FUN!
