Shocked

I am completely shocked with the recent choices I've been making. Now before you get worried I have to tell you that I never thought that I would even have a desire to do the things that I'm currently doing right now....are you curious????? I have started running! I know I'm just as shocked as you are. I've talked and talked about how much I hate running and I don't think that it's fun and how I think that I'd much rather dance. I went to a hip hop class the other night and it surely wasn't a hip hop class-it was terrible! We were doing all these leaps, turns, rolling around on the floor and an occassional shoulder shrug-I think the person teaching the class thought that because we shrugged our shoulders jazz turned into hip hop. I hated the class. So we went to my Mom's house the other night and she decided to run a half marathon. I said-no way. I'm not interested. Cory happily joined ship and said-I'd love to run. Well needless to say I started running with Cory-thank goodness we bought a jogging stroller because it makes it fun to bring Isaak along with us. He usually falls asleep, but it's still fun to watch him.

Another shocker is that I signed up for a cake decorating class. I did enter some cake decorating contests when I was in grade school-I even won first place once, so I get to rekindle that old hobby. I also want to learn to do a fondant. Has anyone heard of a yummy fondant?

Lastly I want to start sewing. Why you might ask? I have no idea, but I really want to learn. My first project was inspired by Nemiha and some people might say that it doesn't count as sewing, but as long as I'm using a needle-it counts for me!!!!

Any hobbies that you want to take up? Carpe Diem!

I totally know what you mean! right before I got pregnant I took up running again and ran most of my pregnancy. I LOVE winter running, go figure.:) I need to get a jogging stroller!
and when I was pregnant I had this ITCH to sew and be all crafty. it doesn't look that great, but at least I'm trying.:)
where do you go to the gym? I tried hip hop when we lived in provo...I don't think I'm coordinated enough.

Hey I started running too-- for about 2 weeks and I actually enjoyed it but my knees hurt so bad that I couldn't walk normal for a couple of weeks so I am just walking now. I also took a cake decorating class last year and loved it, I want to take another one so I can remember everything! I don't think any fondant is yummy. Do you ever watch cake shows, they are my favorite.

Ahhh.... the nesting instincts that are emerging. Good for you! On your way to "Martha Stewart-ism"... except without the whole prison thing. Keep up the good work!

Haha

I have recently took up crocheting in the last couple of weeks and I had to stop myself from buying a sewing machine tonight at the fabric store. Something must be in the water. But I just recently gave up running seeing as how it irritated my disk, which makes me sad since I LOVE running. So run for me:) Carpe Diem

Alas I speak

First of all it was easy to get that Widget of the Baby on, but I have no idea how to get if off. It's not that I don't want to remove it, I just don't know how. I'm not the smartest blogger on the block. I bet there is some button that says remove widget somewhere. So the big day finally arrived-if you want to know as little as possible I suggest that you read no further, but just scroll down and enjoy the pictures. I slept in on Thursday(last week)-it was glorious. I straightened my hair, shaved my legs and just slowly got ready for work. I then decided that it was essential that I pick up baby wipes from Costco. My body must have known that I would be needing them soon. I'm walking around Costco and all of the sudden I pee my pants. I was looking all around for a bathroom, but I couldn't see one anywhere. I thought well it was just a little leak and I know there is a bathroom at target and they are usually pretty clean. So I head over to target and I continue...

From me to him

Dear Isaak, Happy Birthday my little guy! It feels like just yesterday that you were literally pulled out to come into this world. Yes literally with forceps around your little head because you accidentally faced the wrong direction or maybe you faced the direction you wanted to. You didn’t seem like you were quite ready to come out because you were just wailing--almost like you were saying, “You know--I was perfectly comfortable in there.” I’ve learned this year that you surely know what you want and you will not stop until you get it. For example when we tried to spend the weekend away from home and you didn't like sleeping in your playpen! You woke up every 1/2 hour to let us know you weren't comfortable. You finally fell asleep around 3am when we put you on the bouncer. Cory slept with his arm around you on the floor so you didn't roll off. You weren’t going to come easy, eh?? I remember pushing and pushing and pushing and thinking this isn’t going how I thought that i...

Whaaaaat??????

I'm happily brushing my teeth in the bathroom. I'm looking around wondering what else I could be doing while I'm brushing my teeth and I started to think to myself, hmmmm , I wonder what's in toothpaste? I picked up the tube with my free hand and continued brushing. As I was reading the back I noticed a WaRnINg : Do not use for more than four weeks at a time. What? Do not use for more than four weeks? I anticipated reading if you swallow more than what you are brushing your teeth with call poison control. I try to start adding up how long I've been using this toothpaste. Cory didn't like it, so I've been using it solo and it has surely been more than four weeks. Now I don't know what to do with it--do I take a break and come back to it or do I just keep using it? I mean it's been about three months and I still have quite a bit left and nothing seems out of the ordinary yet...But seriously I think that the warning on the toothpaste should at least be...
