Ok, ladies!  Time to kick it up a notch.  Week 3 of our Couch to 5K Running Plan is underway.  At first glance, it looks tough, but when we were done, I thought, “That was it?  I can do this!”

Hi Ladies,
Just a quick check-in to let you know I am alive.  As per our household’s typical February of Sickness, it has been a crazy month around our house.  I don’t know what it is about my birth month, but it is always the time that my family gets sick — Happy Birthday to Mommy (not!).

You all may have noticed that recently I have been tending more towards Spending Green than Going Green. . .oh, the last 6 months of 2009 were tryin’ times and a girl can find a little comfort at Target, Ann Taylor, The Children’s Place, Kathleen’s Kids, the internet. . .until the Visa bill comes!
