I started running again. I read a book my mom had, Born to Run, and I realized that I don’t necessarily hate running as I always thought I did. I have very fond memories of running. So I started to do it with my husband in the mornings. I like it a lot. I’m in horrible shape and still walk a lot. But I do not care. I’ve always hated running because I try to push myself, rather than just accepting where I am and working from there.

I do not have a pair of running shoes that work either. The pair I picked this morning gave me a blister. And today Peter decided to wake up early and I realized I needed a jogging stroller too. Our regular stroller does not work at all. (And it’s kinda tilted anyways).

Except I just spent a lot of money on a camera for my birthday. I’m very excited for it. My old camera is old and takes horrible pictures. It’s held together with duct tape. The battery doesn’t last very long. I keep having problems connecting it to my computer. It was time for a new one. I went ahead and bought a nicer one that cost more, but found a good deal on a slightly used, older model. Should be here tomorrow…

Do you know slip and slides are still fun when you grow up? See…

It’s just plastic film bought for the garden, but it worked great as an extra wide and long slip and slide. But Peter didn’t think it looked like a good idea. Then yesterday Joe, Peter I wanted to go play with water in the back yard. Couldn’t find a kiddie pool at Wal-mart, so we ended up making one with black plastic and 4 x 4’s. Its a good 4′ x 8′. Much better than the sled from last year. Peter still had some reservations…but he would sit on the side and had fun there.
