Worst cab ride ever

I admit that I am motion sensitive and am overcome with car sickness whenever I ride in the backseat, however this was THE worst cab ride I have ever had. I hate cabs and avoid them whenever possible and this guy is why. He ignored all the road rules and drove waaaay too fast. I snapped this picture as he drove away to remind myself why I loathe cabs.

And my horrible ride cost $40. I might walk back to the airport.

As seen from my driveway

I kid you not. If you know Ed, you know that he is coming unglued. It has only been there 5 days but again, if you know Ed, that is 5 days too long.

B4 haircut length

Getting it whacked to the shoulder. No sense keeping it long if I'm too lazy to do anything with it.

I found new motivation to keep running

I ran in a race in August and I just checked the link for the online photos. I typed in my bib number and up popped a picture. I'd like to say those thighs aren't mine and they Photoshop'd them on me, but unfortunately it wouldn't be true.

Must keep running races until I get one of those fabulous run photos that I can be proud of. If I do, you'll see it framed over my fireplace next time you visit. My next race is in two weeks, but I don't think they take pictures at that one. Or at least I don't remember it last year. Then I have another one in October. That one is my goal for a good photo op. Maybe it will be cold then, too, and I can wear some running pants. Those make the thighs look a little better than the short shorts.

Also - I will no longer wear my glasses in races. Can you say "Running Nerd"?

P.S. I hear the vacuum cleaner downstairs and I'm not the one who turned it on. BONUS.

This is what "I was stuck in a meeting and now I'm running late for a dentist appointment" looks like

Going to the Center for Puppetry Arts tomorrow

to see the Jim Henson exhibit. Just to get in the spirit.

I miss Schoolhouse Rock

I can still hear these songs in my head. Don't tell me you didn't a learn a thing or two from this one.



Next up - Conjunction Junction!

We are so cool

Something I've Noticed

With all this running you would think that my a$$ would be getting smaller but it isn't. It is the same size but it is a lot higher. While I was concerned about its size, I should have been concerned that it was sagging. It has moved a good 3-4 inches up. Why didn't anyone tell me that I needed a butt lift? Were you just going to wait until it was about to touch the ground to tell me that things weren't quite right back there?

On the way home from Chickfila

There was some disappointment about the lack of a playground but the ice cream helped ease the pain.

What does it say about me?

My 2 year old can tell me what toys they are currently giving away in the Happy Meal and he hasn't been there in at least two weeks.

Can anyone say "Too Much TV"?

Happy Birthday Madge!

Can't believe you're 50. I idiolized you in my early teens. Wow how time flies.

Penelope

I just watched the movie Penelope. It was awesome.

I'm about to watch Lars and the Real Doll. 180 degrees from the first movie. I heard that it is good though.

I'm back

I stopped blogging mostly because I shared the link and then I felt pressured to "perform". This is my soapbox so I felt locked down and maybe a bit censored. I've let enough time go by now so I think everyone has stopped checking for updates. I'll be back more often to update. If you're reading, don't tell me. I can't work for an audience. I need to believe that no one reads this. Thanks.

The Other Benjamin Wagner

When choosing Benjamin's name, I Googled the name Benjamin Wagner just to be sure there weren't any serial killers or the like with the same name. With that search, I found the other Benjamin Wagner. He's a song writer and performer and a producer at MTV. He is working on a documentary about his experiences with Mister Rogers and the message that was passed on to him.

That was three years ago. The film is getting closer to done. Go check him out. He's keeping a blog of his quest to complete the film. His music is great (available on iTunes BTW) and he's a really cool guy. I think the name Benjamin Wagner is magical. I think someday my Benjamin is going to do great things too.

Jennifer

Need something to put your woes in perspective?

This young woman and Mom of 2 toddlers just found out that she is NED. I've been following her blog since shortly after her diagnosis. I don't know her and have only commented on her blog maybe 2 or 3 times. She worked hard and kicked some butt. She never lost hope or backed down from the fight. She took it head on and even shared the experience with others so they could learn from her journey. This is a hero.

Good news!

My latest addiction

In case anyone still checks this blog from time to time, I want to share my latest addiction. This is worse than my addition to PostSecret because this one gets updated several times a day. Love, love, love it.

It is somehow comforting to know that there are other nut job moms out there!

Since you've been gone

Went to Orlando and back and turned 37 since my last post.

Need to do a major update. Maybe tomorrow.

This looks yum.

I might try this next weekend.

Snow STORM 08

Seriously, we're getting snow tomorrow. Possibly up to 3 inches. Now before you laugh hysterically, know that this will paralyze Atlanta and we'll be home bound for the weekend.

As any good Southern girl can tell you, I should be at the grocery store right now stocking up. My cart should be full of milk, bread, and all the necessary food provisions.

We have food and would by no means starve, but there are no Little Debbies, Ben and Jerry's, Doritos, or (gasp) cans of Diet Dr. Pepper. I'm scrapping by here on Diet Coke and Ruffles. My children won't starve, but I'll be totally emaciated by Sunday. I may be forced to drink milk. Oh the horror.

I still have a box of chocolate covered cherries from Christmas so I won't go down without a fight. And I just hid the last Fruit Rollup for myself. We have a brownie mix but it takes eggs and we're out. There is a can of frosting if I get desperate. Mom gave us a can of popcorn last month and there is still about 1/3 of the caramel corn. I better hide that too.

There is NO WAY that I'm going to the store tonight. These people are crazy in this town when there are rumors of snow. And Ed is working so I'd have to take my children with me. And I don't like to take them to the grocery store on a good day. They drive me batty at the store.

This is a HUGE risk, but I'm taking my chances that I'll be able to leave the house tomorrow. We've got six diapers in the house and if I can't go to the store tomorrow and we run out, we're potty training. He better be ready ;-)

Man, I feel like a rebel.

My Life is SOOO this -

Oh wait. My life isn't even this evolved.

Maybe I'm the only one that thinks this is hilarious,

but whatever. It's my blog.
