April 5

This list is from yesterday:

1) Gavin telling me he and Ez were "just chillin" this morning on my bed...(this is the actual conversation. Me: Gavin, don't hug Ezekiel too tight! Gavin: Mooooom, me and Ezekiel are just chillin.) Where did he hear that? I promise, that is not a phrase I frequent!

2) Cold, windy, on and off rainy day

3) Gavin's first experience at Chuck E Cheese's today being a good one. No characters to freak him out. And a fun time with his friend Dillion and for me with Amanda

4) Hanging out with Ashley at the mall yesterday - we laugh together about how unkempt we both are...

5) Reading Darren's blogs about he and Pam's trip to London. Wow, he is such a gifted writer. If you want to check it out: www.darrenprince.com

6) Kristen giving me hand me downs: the straightening iron I use was hers, some of my make-up, and lots of current and past hair products. Its great to have a friend that buys good stuff, then passes it on!

7) .99 tacos at Arriba Grill by our house

8) Jason playing with Gavin last night while I read my book

9) Runner's World magazine. I await its arrival in my mailbox each month and scour the pages the first night its in my hands!

10) My return to running today - in about 15 minutes. Its been over 2 weeks and I'm so mad at myself...but here is my new start!
