Catching up and Juneathon

My life has been a constant whirlwind for the past three weeks, nothing bad, just a lot of things involving the end of school, cycling trips and Sister Runner Amy and her kids visiting. And if I had to pick which was the most exhausting, keeping track of a 3 and 5 year-old wins hands down. I adore those kiddos, but give me a 40-mile bike ride any day. I’m old, so sue me.  But the visit was fun and was full of swimming, amusement parks, birthday party, all things pink, and kitties with a little projectile vomit on the side.

And when all those things were not in action, I involuntarily became an authority on Lego Star Wars people – since it was the main topic of conversation for 4 days straight. I’m not kidding. If Cole wasn’t holding his nose to jump in the pool, he was talking about Lego Star Wars people. And in case you were wondering, I want my Princess Leia to have a rainbow light saber.

What? No running you say. No. Sadly, SRA fell in the pool as she was rescuing Harper from a renegade turtle float incident and busted her ass pretty seriously. I didn’t see it personally – but I got the daily details on bruising progress. Which leads me to Juneathon. I agreed to do a Juneathon with the only requirements being to exercise everyday. And unless you count hanging swimming and chasing two little ones for four days, then I might just be disqualified. I’m not sure, but maybe if no one says anything I’ll be safe. So let’s keep it quiet and focus on the 24 miles I rode on this morning. Oh, and the swim lesson I had yesterday and tomorrow and the 30 mile ride I have coming up on Thursday.

Okay now, I know this is a jumbled mess. But I’m tired and I have that little fashion show I promised a while back. I got some awesome new things for my birthday and sadly I can’t wear them all at once, so I’ll see if I can make that fashion show happen tomorrow so I can at least try all the clothes on in the same day. But for now just enjoy the pictures of Sister Runner Amy and the kid’s visit and pretend you can’t see the typos and run-on sentences.

I didn’t even want to go see the kitties because my hair looked so awful, and you go and post a picture of it?

I won’t say anything… Mums the word… Go run. Darn! Sorry. That slipped out…

fun! why don’t we do julyathon? and when i say “we” i mean “you.” You are piling up the mileage there sister.

and i DO think hanging swimming (what IS that anyway?) and running after kids counts. totally. so you’re still in the running. (Running. ha. what IS that anyway??)

can’t wait for the fashion show.

Happy belated bidet Aunt Suzie. I like your spinning hairstyle – very cool.

Juneathon is still a goer. Chasing SRA’s renegade kids is worth a 5 mile run per day.

nice workouts. And to an earlier tweet about Kenza and Journey. Yes, next time ruin it. I remember when mu kids thought Gwen Stefani was the rage. I broke out the old No Doubt cds and let me know how popular she used to be.

Looks like fun! And your pool is beautiful. We’re building one now, and ours doesn’t look like anything as nice as yours!

And welcome to my two-small-children world. :)
