HI and good morning!
Whats on the agenda for today? I need to exercise still. Yesterday I walked from swinney park to foster park. Which from my house is 3 miles. I was super tired and my feet hurt the rest of the day. I will probably do it again tomorrow!
Also I totally had to look up how to spell Wednesday. I have never been able to spell it correctly. it is weird.
SO random question of the day! One weird fact about you!

Re: Wow Wow Wednesday!
Good morning!
I am off work today, spending the day with the Vivinator. (Genevieve = Vivi = Vivinator, lol) We might head down into town for a walk after lunch, but I'm planning on spending most of the day playing with blocks, playing hide and seek, and maybe getting some laundry done on the side. I need to start running again... I took a hiatus this summer and I'm starting to really miss it but just going out for that first few miles seems to be a big hurdle for me.
Weird fact: When I was pregnant, the one smell that absolutely drove me to losing my lunch was the smell of a fireplace. I used to wait all summer for the first night that was chilly enough for an amazing fire and now I can only halfway enjoy them because the smell still sort of triggers my gag reflex.
That's funny. When I was pregnant I could not stand the smell of unclean mouths. Seriously I could smell your breath from across the room.

Spending time with DH! He's off until a week from Saturday. We're planning the rest of our trip for next week and having a date night in B-town since that's one of the closer places we can get dinner and a movie with my allergy. We just need to book the hotel and (hopefully he got the extra day) book a reservation for Sambuca in Nashville, TN. Our friend's band has a gig there and it's a great date spot. Dinner, dancing, creme brulee, ceviche, and being heckled by the band (but we dish it right back at them).
Weird fact: I took Traditional Egyptian Belly Dance as an elective in undergrad. I was a gymnast for 15 years and can still do my splits so I pick up random dance classes in B-town when I get the chance.
Work. bleh.. then gym after work. elliptical because I can't run for a few weeks. and did spinning last night. (my butt is so sore from the seat)
fresh walnuts and pineapple make my tongue swell and itch. but I'm not allergic?
this title makes me think of Wow Wow Wubzy(sp?)
DH has a little sister who is 5. I hear the tune all the time!
The toddler was watching that show when I wrote the title. Was wondering if anyone would notice. Gold star for you!

Hello everyone!
I am working and totally nervous and anxious. The appraisal on the house we are building should come back today, keeping my fingers crossed!
Weird fact: I was a gymnast since I was 3 and have broken, dislocated or fractured almost every bone in my body.
I put that I have been in sports my whole life including gymnastics. and have never broken a bone. but then I erased it! do you still do anything with gymnastics?
I wish I did, the multiple shoulder surgeries pretty much put an end to it during college. I still work out 5 days a week to stay in shape, etc. But I miss gymnastics so much.
I miss it too and also never broke anything (knock on wood). I keep teasing my husband that I want to get back into shape and get a private lesson with Kim Zmeskal since she coaches in Cincy. I got really sick and my metabolism went haywire. I doubled my body weight, but have dropped about 75-80 lbs. I'm still not where I want to be, but am working on it.
Do not stress about the house. I made myself crazy on our last sale and purchase. The nightmare stories are all people talk about. We had no issues and have even refinanced within the past year with no issues. They just called offered to cut the rate and did it with a fixed rate within days. People never talk about the good stuff because they are too busy enjoying their new places.
Thanks for the reassurance, it is our first time buying and we are building...I will be much better once the appraisal comes back and all is good. We close/move in 3 weeks then I can get back to normal life
On the agenda for today is getting off here and getting as much homework done as possible before 4, when I have to start dinner. We're having meatloaf tonight. Zach has a thing for class, so when he leaves, I'm heading out to Hobby Lobby to grab some micro fleece and make my step grandfather-in-law a blanket for Christmas. I also need to fit working out in there somewhere, as I was down with a sinus infection and cold a few weeks ago, and haven't gotten back into working out again.
Weird fact: My parents are the only couple out of my aunts and uncles that haven't gotten divorced. With this being the case, I am the only child in the family that is a) a true "only child" and b) doesn't have any step or half siblings. I always prayed for a sister as a kid, but I didn't get one til I married Zach and inherited my sis-in-law. Luckily, I like her. Most of the time.
I was in training all day, and now off to volleyball then coffee/catch up with a friend
Weird fact: I love to sing improv songs at the top of my lungs, especially while cooking. DH belted out a made up song while we were still dating, and I had the "omg we are so meant to be" moment.
