mindless musings.

My brother has made it safely to Kuwait. He e-mailed me and said he was eating a lot, working out a lot, and sleeping the rest of the time. They should be leaving for Iraq any day now. A friend from high school, Therese, is married to a Marine who is in the same division as Matthew. She told me about this thing called motomail, and it is amazing. It is a free service to Marine families, and you essentially type a letter online and enter all of the Marine's info, and they e-mail it over there, print it out, and deliver it to them within 24 hours. Amazing.

I have officially decided that I may be walking 13.1 miles on April 26! (Mal, please don't freak on me!) I can run 1.5 mile without a problem, but after that it is crazy hard. I'm thinking my best bet may be to run a mile, walk a mile. I have no idea! I know there will be a lot of adrenaline on race day and also all the bands and cheerleaders will add to the excitement, so I may get a sudden burst of running stamina. I'm still training 4 days a week so... we will see.

Lastly, my birthday present "spa day" is in the works. However, it will be more of a "spa 2 hours" than a whole day! I think I've decided on the heavenly massage and feet of a goddess pedicure. Ohh just the thought exhilarates me. I'm looking at May 2. That is the Friday after the run, so I'm sure my feet will still be in need of a good pampering.

Well we are about to go over to some friend's house for dinner. I'm looking forward to a fun evening. BTW, SA is in the stage of full blown teething. I am beside myself as to what to do to help her. She wants to nurse constantly, bite constantly (another story for another day). I've tried the little teething tablets, and can't tell a difference. Baby oragel seems to help for a while and allow her to sleep, then it all starts over again. In my humble opinion, the first few teeth they get are always the hardest. It's so wild I am just now realizing again that we again have another baby. Does that make sense? With T-Pup being 2.5, we've been out of this baby cycle for a while. Now we're teething, starting cereal, getting ready to introduce foods... we really do have another baby. Amazing.

So long, farewell.
