I'm walking....yes, indeed....

I just returned from my morning walk, and I'm sitting here cooling down, enjoying my thick, delicious shake. I tell ya, I haven't squeezed so many buns since the day old bread sale at the bakery! I try to walk and squeeze to get the most out of my morning workout. Right now I feel like a limp washrag....the humidity must be 200% out there. It's not hot thankfully, and the sun was under a huge cloud through the sunniest part of my walk, so I was happy about that. Anyway, I'm home, and done....

I have so much to do today, I don't know where to begin. Here's a list for you to enjoy:

1. A mountain-sized pile of ironing

2. A mountain-sized pile of laundry (why do my kids feel it necessary to wear 10 outfits each per weekend?)

3. My house looks like a snow globe after a good shake

4. Those paint cans are still staring at me, begging for me to open them

I'm sure there is more, but for now, that's enough. I guess I'll just prioritize. I'll clean the house while washing, and save the ironing for when I'm watching tv. After the house is in order, I can start painting....although I forgot to get the white paint for the trim in wee-one's room. So, until I get that, I can't start....which means a trip out. See? It all looks good on paper, or should I say monitor, but something always manages to throw a kink into the program.

I'm not sure what to make for dinner tonight. I've been thinking some kind of soup would be nice....yeah, a steaming bowl of soup to warm you up on a 100 degree day....maybe I'll make chicken soup, and chicken salad. That way I have a hot/cold dinner. Sounds tasty I think.

Okay, I have finishedmy "healthy, ready to drink meal", and have the energy of a hundred women, so I had better get going on my house. Hmmmm, a journal entry alert....I suppose I could sit here for just one more minute....

I love your colors today! I could write a list too, mine would be much longer than yours, but I will only do about 1/4 of what you do in a day. I don't want to tire myself out for when it's my time to watch TV! (She looks like you)

I haven't walked in weeks it feels like. You are doing great. That list is scary and I'm tired. I have all the same things to do and more and I probably will wind up just doing one of them and calling it a day. Mix some tuna with mayo and throw it on a leaf of lettuce...DINNER IS SERVED. lol

Kids...who'd have em?? You can't relax with them around....but isn't it weird when they are not around. Congratulations on all that walking. I love walking..it's so relaxing.
