Half Marathon #1 complete!

Well today was wonderful, and sore, and exciting! I completed my first ever half marathon in 2 hours, 2 minutes. I'm very proud of myself! Now to sleep!

Current fun project

I like to keep busy (but not too busy) with fun projects. Currently I'm working on sewing myself this bag:

I'm really excited and impatient to finish it. I'm still waiting for the fabric to arrive, so I've got everything else ready to go! Here's the exterior fabric:

Here's the interior fabric:

It should look great I hope!

Only 5 more days!

Well, just 5 short days until I run my first half-marathon. It's been fun (and a lot of work) training for it, but totally worth it. I feel better physically than I have in a long time! I think it will be fun and neat to experience it. I hope I do well, but we'll see how the day goes. My original goal was to finish it in under 2 hours, so we'll see how close I come!

Guilty pleasure

This is my favourite new website...I'm addicted, it's very distracting from the things I should be doing...such as my RS lesson! http://thepioneerwoman.com/ PS You HAVE to read her story "Black heels to tractor Wheels", I laughed so much. Be prepared to invest some time, though, it's LONG!

Funny things kids do (at least that mine does)

I had to take a picture of this because it was too funny. I had turned my back for a couple of minutes to wash the poo out of Maya's cloth diaper and when I came back, she had snuck into the bathroom, pulled out a length of TP and proceeded to pick at it! So funny!!

And yes, I do get comments on her gorgeous eyelashes all the time! Thanks Mom!

The cutest baby ever!!

I wonder how long I can get this strip??

Good ol' home baking

Mmmm...the smell of freshly baked bread. Nothing better, except maybe freshly made ice cream. My mom inspired me to bake some bread, and it's almost done right now and it sure smells delicious! Yesterday I prepared the custard base to make some delicious vanilla ice cream (with real vanilla beans!) I'm excited to make it this afternoon and let Maya watch. She really loves when I make things in the Kitchenaid mixer. Quite fascinating I suppose.

Ode to Disorganization

Today I'm feeling very disorganized...everywhere I turn, something's clumped together in random order with various other things and then, somehow, they multiply and then I really don't know where things are supposed to go, then they get left for a while until I get tired of looking at them! Where are all these random things supposed to go??? I need a personal organizer, or at least some tips! I guess you just have to let it go...at least I just finished washing the dishes...now on to the bathrooms :s Or perhaps not. I think I just want to watch a movie...
