Updates

This entry is updates. First, I did it! I ran yesterday for 30 straight minutes! I said in a previous blog that running that long was my goal for this week and yesterday was the first and possibly only day I will run this week, so I knew if I wanted to accomplish my goal, I had to do it (it rained Monday and Tuesday and is supposed to rain today through Monday). It was torturous for the first 20 minutes, but then I hit a point of it being easy and could have kept going longer than 30 minutes, but I knew I was going to be sore today, so I didn't push it. On the treadmill, I was consistently running 10 minute miles, so I ran about 3 miles yesterday (or a little less with hills slowing me down). Second, I think I found the answer to my tv problem, at least for the weekend anyway, in case you were all worried:). There is a Gilmore Girls Marathon on Sunday on ABC Family, so I can spend that rainy day watching and relaxing, it will be great. Third, keeping you posted on the haps with the girls, Baby S2 started crawling yesterday and pulled herself up to standing 2 days ago. Which means more work for me because she gets into EVERYTHING. She has also learned the word no, which is great! Yesterday, after telling her no 3 times when trying to chew on the chair, she got mad, screamed and started to cry. As for S, we are doing well, not too many bad days. The only problem is that the mom (L) came up to my room twice this week to talk to me (one time was last night to talk about Chris Daughtry being voted off American Idol last night and all I can say is WTF!) and both times S barges into my room, starts playing with my things, jumps on my bed and tries to take things when she leaves. After the first time, I warned her that if she does it again, she will not be allowed in my room ever, and then she did it again. So I will hold up to my end of the deal, she is not allowed in here ever. And I am now comfortable to enforce rules around her parents, so if L comes up here to talk to me again, I will not let S in. That is all for the updates!

Happy Nurses' Week.

Just thought I'd throw that in.

There was an ad in the paper here advertising for a nanny for $700 a week and it wasn't a live-in position. Crazy!

"Absence makes the heart grow fonder"

I was always a bit skeptic of this phrase. How can being away from a person make you fonder? With time, you will slowly start to forget the sound of their laughter and the scent of their hair. You will forget the way they dance and the way they like their toast. Sure, when you see them again, when they laugh or dance, all those things come rushing back. Being away may make you yearn for them, but you no longer know them as well as you used to. At least that is what I used to think. I should have know this phrase was true since whenever I would see my sisters again, it was like no time had passed. I don't know what it was that made me realize all that I took for granted, maybe it is being away from home for so long or my travel mishaps or my friend's car accident or maybe just that I am getting older, something made me see how I took everything for granted in my life before I came here. It was so easy, I could go up the stairs or across the hall or get in my car and spend a day

I Heart The Office!

Image
My sister introduced me to the television show The Office . And I heart it. I saw Seasons 1 and 2 on dvd in the past week (I watched all of Season 2 between last night and today). The only problem now is that they are half way through Season 3, so I have missed several episodes and it won't come out on dvd until at least this summer... hmm, problem. But you want to know the one thing I heart even more than The Office ? Jim Halpert/John Krasinski (character/actor). He is on the show and I have a huge crush on him. I know what you are saying, you are 25 years old (turning 26 in 2 1/2 months) and crushes on famous people at this age is a little weird, and usually I would agree. It has been many years since I have had a crush on a star. But Jim/John is so an exception. In fact, if I could find a real life guy here in Minnecrap that looks like Jim/John, makes the same facial expressions, has the same sense of humor and is as nice, sweet and kind as him, so basically exactly like Jim/J

All you need is love?

This is a question people have asked for a long time. Is it true? Is love all we really need? I think it would depend on who you ask. When it comes to young children, love is all you need. You know your parents love you and spend time with you, that is what is most important to a child. You don't understand the importance of money or work or health, all that matters is love. Maybe that is what is so appealing about childhood, why we would all do anything to go back, because we were innocent and love really was what made the world go round. As an adult, I now see things differently. Love isn't all there is, we need so much more. Some would say that makes me cynnical, but I am not. I want to believe that love is all we need and for the most part I agree with that statement, however I see that there is a lot more that goes along with love. As a parent, your role is not only to love, but to protect, comfort, support, provide, but common sense says that those things automatically go
