It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...Aaaaagh!

If I get everyone but me 7 presents each...that's still 49 presents I have to think of, plan, buy, get home, store, and wrap.

Then all my kids will be like, "What?? I only got 7 presents and 1 is underwear?????"

I'm trying not to think about it.

Stacey convinced me to come down to Phoenix at the end of January and run a 1/2 marathon with her. I've been training. Yea me! I figure the more people I tell that I'm doing it, the more I actually HAVE to do it. I ran 6.5 miles on Saturday. That's the farthest I've ever run. I was tired, but not near my limit. No jelly legs or anything. That is encouraging.

On Saturday we did our annual Christmas tree cutting trip. It went well. No one chopped off their fingers. Only one person peed their pants, and no one cried about not getting the tree that they wanted.





So, I decided to do ridiculous things to my hair. Here's the blond incarnation:



Here's the blue incarnation:



I'm still deciding what color to do next. Probably pink. (This really shouldn't be as fun as it is...can you say mid-life crisis?? Ha.)

As long as the hair doesn't do the seasonal thing (Red for Christmas, pink for Valentines, anything pastel for Easter) then I think we're ok...coloring for holidays takes it from fun to crazy :)
Loving the pictures of the little girls but feeling like I need to know the story behind them.
Looking forward to Jan. We just did a 7 miler - fun times!

RACH, nice to see you back online. I love to see a glimpse into your life. I'm excited to see you guys at x-mas and good luck with the presents.

Make sure you start listening to the music your kids listen to. That is the only way to have a true midlife crisis.

I will never run a half marathon, no matter how much S tries to convince me.
