Blog Make-over

I love my new background from cutestblogontheblock AND my super cute chandelier and bird cage from blogamation.com! Thanks ladies for the very chic new designs... Now if I could just download these to my iphone I would be oh-so-happy! The birds have been in the scrapbook venue for awhile now, but I guess they have caught onto other areas too... like my iphone case, my blog, my jewelry ideas!  The bird designs definitely remind me of "The Birds" from Alfred Hitchcock - but these are so much less frightening. :)

I returned my super awesome Garmin watch today... sadness :( But there really wasn't any reason for me to keep it. I would love to think of myself as a 'runner' but fact is that I have never been able to finish the full 5k that I have been in training for months now. Between illness and injury running hasn't been stable for me lately, which is so sad. I saw such great results when I was healthy enough to run, but I guess I will have to continue cycling classes, elliptical, and attack.

I have to say - I cannot wait for the New Year rush to leave the gym. I hate going to my usual gym classes and being overrun by guys, new people, or random folks. That sounds incredibly mean, but its true. Half of these people who joined in January will be gone by March - that is what I need to keep reminding myself. 

What have I gotten myself into???

Took on too much once again, these migraines are killers! I did get to be crafty last night which was fun, but I couldn't sleep and woke up at 5.

Unfortunately both of my kids woke up shortly after... Yay me!... So we were ready for school this morning! Well, g1 might have been but I don't think I will ever be ready.

It's on baby!

I got a technology upgrade today-Woot! A new external hard drive and an awesome gamin watch to get my butt back into the swing of things. My hip has been hurting so badly lately that I haven't been running but filling in with other card instead.

I found out that I really like spin class which is surprising. I am scared to get on a real bike though. I would like to try to get on a real road bike to see if I enjoy it as much as spin class. I have been working out 3-5 times a week since october. I haven't seen a whole lot of numbers disappear on the scale, but everything is fitting so much better. I wish I could put up some better numbers though.

Great weekend!

Wow- this weekend was awesome! I stepped out of my box and started an etsy on New Years Day. I've had my first sale too! Figured out how to convo...

This morning I woke up and checked my email, which is usually done before I get our of bed, thanks to my iPhone.... I found out that my paperwork, records, and new certificate had been issued though the professional standards commission, so now I am officially a level 6 teacher! I am so excited... My specialist degree finally counts! Now I just need to figure out if I really want to go back and get my doctorate.... um, YES!!! but finding the time and being able to afford it will be my biggest obstacles. Just wanted to share my good news! Yay!
