“When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realised that the Lord doesn’t work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me.”– Emo Philips

1. I posted my first picture to Instagram this week:

Biking with Ben in scenic Greenville. The sausage biscuit is indigenous to South Carolina. (Gas station biscuits! Yum!)

I’m always up on the latest thing. Maybe next week I can figure out how to use Tumblr.

2. Quote of the Week

This comes from my sister (L-Sizzle!) and her boyfriend, Eric. She had just weighed herself and thought she may have lost a few pounds but wasn’t sure. She asked Eric, “What did the scale say the other day?”

Eric’s reply: “Only 1 at a time, please.”

Thankfully, L-Sizzle has a sense of humor.

Eric then said that for him the scale said, “Parties of 8 more will be charged a 15% gratuity.”

3. Speaking of weight, I have officially started the Jamie Eason’s 3 month LiveFit Trainer again.

This time I’m starting from the very beginning, because the workouts are shorter in phase 1 which will correspond well with being so busy with work. This program is the one that I did last summer which got me in good enough shape that I was able to start directly into running. I’m hoping that it will get me in good enough shape to keep me through not running while injured. (I have already scheduled my doctor’s appointment for the first morning my first day off after tax season.)

4. Breathe Right Strips

Ben has been using these and they have been working really well. However, now he sleeps so soundly it’s almost impossible to wake him.

5. My grandmother’s pacemaker surgery went well, and she is going to go home next week. As in home – home, instead of the nursing home she’s been in during this process. I am so happy that my 91 year old grandmother is able to return to her house. It completely made my week as I hated the idea of her having to live in a nursing home. (She still has all her wits about her and is in good health.)
