Crafty Tuesday

Well, I spent the day crafting with Birdie #2…and we have some fun stuff but…it didn’t get done in time for today’s CT. So I guess you’ll just have to wait until next week.

Three of the projects we accomplished today are for upcoming birthdays, though. It feels good to be ahead of the game for a change. Especially since we are going to be gone for an entire week in a mere two weeks.

OH?! Didn’t I mention where we are going? Well, see for yourself…

EEEEEEEeeeeee!!!

Yes, we are taking a Disney cruise! Add it to the list of perks at Daddy’s Disney job – we get to go be the guinea pigs for the one of the first sailings. We are headed to St. Maarten, St. Thomas and Castaway Cay. I have been trying not to get too excited about it because it seemed so far off and we have SO MUCH TO DO before we go. But, now? It is only 2 weeks away. NOW, I’m excited.

So the next few weeks I may have a Crafty Tuesday as we prep for birthdays and vacation, but for a few weeks in March you can expect radio silence from around here because I will be in the middle of the Caribbean. Thank you, Uncle Walt.

The Devil On My Shoulder.

Why did Jamie set the alarm for 6:30am?
Hmm…I might have told him last night I needed to run.
It is so early and so cold out.
And our new bed feels so, so good and is so, so warm.
If you don’t get up and do it now (it is already 6:35…), you won’t get a chance to run later.
But my arms and stomach are so sore from yoga class yesterday, maybe I can skip running today.
Bathing suit. In two weeks.
But it is two weeks away, and it is still sort of dark outside.
You ate far too many girl scout cookies last night.
Oh, those @!*& cookies.

(Drag self out of bed. Fumble for some clothes and running shoes.)

It is cold.
Add legs to the mix of achy body parts.
43 degrees! That can’t be right.
Actually, it probably is right. (As lungs scream from the intake of cold air.)
Okay, we’ll just do a quick run.

We’ve made it to one mile – might as well do another now that the kinks have been worked out.
Doesn’t feel as cold, and oh…I love this song!
Need to make a new playlist for running.
But make sure this one is still on it.
Funny it is called FASTER, and I think it makes me run faster, too.

(Round the corner to go back home)

Wow…ok. We are lucky to live here.
It’s going to be a Good Morning.
