THankful for: 1) throwing away rotten pumpkins, wilted mums and a ragged cornstalk. Made the urns and windeowboxes into Christmas magic. Soaking wet in the rain, muddy and sweaty (as it is still almost 60 here!) but it is done and beautiful and quite the contrast to the inside of this house....part of the hardwood floor put in tonite and weeks away from the cabinets and rest of kithcn being gutted and finished. It only took 3 years. No biggie. 2) Luke's words that made me LOL tonite: I tell him a guy in a movie is crazy and "not all there in his head" so he asks me, "Does he not drink enough water?" Cause I always tell him he has gotta drink his liquid to be smart and its good for his brain. LOVE it. He would hardly drink a thing if I didnt enforce it like the police...so glad he is listening. Love that kid. 3) homeade butternut squash soup from bestie who loves me 4) 150 Christmas cards mailed. ANd a family I love and adore that filled it up. At least they (ok, everyone but my significant other!) is very photogenic so there is no way to tell in the pictures that a few of them here can get pretty grumpy. 5) Christmas cookie day here tomorrow after 1/2 day of school. Sprinkles, colored frosting and redhots. And friends. A house full of joy. Even if its also full of construction dust. 6) watching the Biggest Loser and thinking...yes, I CAN do a triatholon in June. What is my excuse not to? I have been thinking it for a few days and just cant come up with that many. (besides maybe that I am terrified of the swim part??) am I crzy??? 7) Domino's for dinner and a guy who will bring it home afer a hard day of work in a crappy market when the kitchen is too loud to cook..or even just for niceness. 8) a healthy body to even consdider being crazy enough to swim 1/2 mile, bike 12 miles, then run 3. Yep, I am crazy. Fat and crazy so maybe the perfect combo. 9) Christmas music 10) Carly's excitement over a baby blanket she made at YW that she is giving to little Buddy Christian for CHristmas. So sweet and so cute. ' '

Yessssss! do the tri! I am going to do adult swimming training (not for charge but for fun as it will make me get to the pool and swim) -- I may never be a good runner. I may never enjoy biking, but I can swim. and I can teach others to be good swimmers! Treva is in too and Alyssa B for swimming help.
