Baby Milena Mae joins the family
That was probably the hardest thing I have ever witnessed. There were so many people there and the atmosphere was so charged with tension and fear. I was afraid the baby was going to die, and Elizabeth was in such pain... whew. I'm so glad it's over and thank the Lord for watching over everything.

Cookin'
I made a recipe of buckeyes today. Got the recipe out of the February Real Simple magazine. The nice thing about this recipe is it doesn't make a ton. It made 23 Tablespoon size buckeyes. Yesterday I made chili. There's enough left over for maybe 3 lunches.
Sarah called this morning. She had a tick attached to her neck and she pulled it out herself. She thinks she didn't get the head. What a weird time of year for ticks. Hopefully she really did get the tick's head, and if not, Eric can finish getting it out for her.
Elizabeth is getting closer to her due date. She goes back to the doctor Friday, but I know she really wants to have the baby NOW. I wonder if labor will be easy for her this time.

Saturday!
I just finished 1/2 a grapefruit. I ALWAYS forget how wonderful grapefruit tastes. It's been months since I've had one. I remember Mom getting grapefruits, oranges and apples from the FFA. We would store them in our basement under the stairs. That part of our basement didn't have much light and it was a little bit scary. Not to mention spider-ish. None of us kids wanted to go get any of the fruit because of the spider possibility. Not to mention the worry about someone (thing) sneaking up on you while bending over under the stairs, terrified already that a spider would drop in your hair. I wouldn't swear to it, but I bet mom felt the same way, which is why she sent one of us to go get some fruit...
Anyway. Saturday, oatmeal, grapefruit. Great start.

C25K One week down
That kind of behavior makes me never want to walk her ever again. Damn dog.
Is it Christy or is it a Ghost?
Last night was a really good example. We watched what was billed as a horror movie (House of Bones) but was really just a very poorly made mess. After it was over, I went into the bedroom and when I came back out Joe asked me what I wanted. I told him I didn't say anything and he SWORE I said "Joe?" and asked some question. I told him I did not and he didn't believe me at first. Later, I whispered, "Joe...". And you know what? He didn't think it was at all funny. =)

Walking walking walking
Today was my 2nd day of C25K. Much, much better than first day.
Day one: coughing, wheezing, realization that there will be no running for a while, that it's better to go slow, but STILL GO.
Day two: no coughing, no wheezing, not even as out of breath, but still worked hard.
Monday is the beginning of a 12 week challenge. We are supposed to write short term and long term goals.
SHORT TERM: I will do the C25K workout 3 times a week for one month WALKING, then I will try to begin the interval walk/jog training. I will also do the No Excuses Workout 2 times a week.
LONG TERM: I will lose 5 pounds by February 15th.
