No Picture

Well much to everyone's disappointment, there is no picture with today's post. This is to represent the fact that I FORGOT TO TAKE A PICTURE YESTERDAY!! I'm totally bummed about this...since it means I failed at my 365 day challenge. But...I'm not giving up...just tweaking the challenge a bit. I have decided I get 3 strikes (yesterday being one of them). After three strikes I'm out...which doesn't mean I get to quit...it just means I have to start over from that day foreword with 365 more days. Ok...there...I said it out loud, now you all are responsible for holding me to it!
In other news...we got a WHOPPING blizzard yesterday. And it really was a blizzard, the weatherman said so (apparently there are special criteria to meet)! I left the office to pick up Beau and work from home at about 11 AM. I couldn't see a thing the whole way...it was actually really scary! Here is something to put it in perspective...I couldn't see where to stop to turn into Racine. When I finally found it and was waiting to turn I couldn't see the flashing neon sign at the gas station that you all make fun of. Yeah, the one that was 2 feet in front of my face. Holy Moly...that's a whiteout!
And now for your Beau fix...he is good, the weather hasn't phased him a bit. Still rolling like a wild man, and last night was just about getting pushed up onto all fours. Something tells me we're going to have a crawler on our hands very soon.
Ok....TTFN (ta ta for now for those of you not up on your Tigger talk).

Life Right Now - November 2025

 Right now Beau is a senior and has a schedule that has him home most of the afternoon.  He is currently between jobs.  He worked at Hartmann Lawn Care for the summer and fall, and is re-starting at Fleet Farm this week (today, actually).  He worked there throughout the school year last year too, and they hired him back for this year. Right now Cora is a sophomore and just finished up her school volleyball season.  She played middle hitter for the JV team this year, and then was moved up to Varsity for sections and state.  She got to spend a week up in the Cities with the team, and they ended up placing 3rd.  She will play for the 17s team for JO this winter.  Practices for that will start after Thanksgiving, with tournaments starting in January.  She will be doing an off season workout program through the school this winter until softball practices start up in early spring. Right now Sylvie is in 7th grade and starting her first year of sch...

Around here.....

Here's just a little snapshot of what life looks like right now. Around here we're starting to get into the basketball season.  Both Beau and Cora are participating in traveling basketball through SYBA.  The crazy weekends of tournaments haven't started yet, but they're both having practice regularly.  Luke will be the assistant coach to Cora's team this year.  Sylvie will get to play too, but her season won't start until January and is one game on Saturday mornings in town. Around here are three kids are going to religion class on Wednesday nights, I'm teaching Cora's 3rd grade class.  Between that and basketball practice it's rare to have a weeknight where we are all home. Around here we're getting excited for the holidays!  I'm starting in on some shopping, planning and thinking about getting the house decorated.  The kids are getting Christmas lists made, and my desk is full of December Daily prep work.  Around here I...

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of My First Half Marathon

Nearly 2 years ago my friend, Casey, and I set a goal to run a half marathon.  The plan was to train for a 10K (which we ran in Mankato last fall) and then go back and do the half the following year.  It seemed so far off.  That far off date was last Sunday.  I'm happy to say that our goal was met.  We both ran the half marathon.  13.1 miles without stopping.  But, as all things do, goals evolve.  In the time since that rainy, shivering, post 5-k goal setting ride home I decided that I wanted to run not only a half marathon, but a sub-2 half marathon.  This is the story of what is undeniably a great accomplishment, but sometimes even great accomplishments can be laced with disappointment ( read, not overly inspiring ).  I will warn you that there may be a bit TMI, so if you're turned off by "potty talk" I encourage you to stop reading now. 2015 Mankato Half Marathon Recap In the days leading up to the race I was feeling excite...
