Avoiding the hail

WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME to my new followers- Anne, Ten20Six and Bowmanh!!! Thanks for joining the party!

Quick post today. I promise not to be AS long winded as I usually am.

First off, Katie J and Miss Chunky Chick both awarded me this little beauty.



Thank you ladies. I enjoy your blogs just as much as you enjoy mine!

Now, the rules for this award are to list 10 things that make me happy and try to do at least one today, as well as tag 10 other bloggers. As I realized with the Beautiful Blogger award, I am unable to post links on my page(no idea why...neither do blogger tech support. So as soon as I get that figured out, I promise to link :) Although, I reall do think all my girls are fantastic!!

Alright, 10 things that make me happy...in no particular order:

1. Cuddling with my daughter...especially when she lets me pick what we're gonna watch
2. Family dinners at moms house.
3. Moms chicken tacos. If I had to choose between being instantly thin, but having to give up those tacos for good, the tacos would win. Yeah. They are that good.
4. Kissing in the rain
5. Parties with my friends.
6. The drive between SF and Madera on warm days when I can roll down my windows, punch it to 90 and sing at the top of my lungs
7. Every year for my birthday, my Auntie Corrie, and cousins Amanda and Peter, call me to sing me happy birthday. I dont know why its so important to me, but it is
8. Taking pictures of everyone, everything, everywhere.
9. Taking care of people.
10. Camping.

Now you know a little bit more about moi :)

Last night it was pouring, thunder and lightning. It continued on and off all day. I hated the thought of not being able to walk. I was anxious. I turned on fitness tv and complete Cardioke, which I think is super fun to do. I started doing some hip hop exercise one, but it was super boring and the woman was so off beat, I gave up. I turned on a disco one and the girl went SUPER fast. Im better off just turning on music and dancing. All in all, did about 35 minutes of cardio. I was bummed.

After work, something amazing happened. There was blue sky. I jumped into my running shoes and hightailed 4 miles around the city. Jumped back into my car and made it just in time to pick up my daughter. Got her into the car...and the heavens openned up again, spewing water and hail all over my car.

Talk about a sign!

Someone up there wants me to get fit just as much as I do! Lol

So, to reward myself I am having a burrito. 10 points. Its gonna be SO good!!

Hope everyone is doing excellent.

Xo,
Mary

    Ty so much for your kind words on my blog post. I do need to remember to celebrate the successes, so often I concentrate on the failures.

    Ok, Im off to read about your battle with the ice cream sandwich.
