Now that I bored you to pieces with that rendition of my day, I'll say I'm glad everyday isn't Wednesday! I'm not even gonna count how many miles I put on...I don't want to know.

Today is a GREAT day! I'm home with the boys. We were blessed enough to find a Wii Fit after looking at about 6 different places and calling a friend in another town (thanks, Brenda!) to pick it up for us.

Today's been catching up with laundry, picking up...and Tye and I have been trying out the Wii Fit. What fun! Today it seems, anyway, a great way to exercise. Now tomorrow when all my muscles hurt...ha!

Oh, and lets not forget that I'm down to one shih tzu (going next week) and one little lab puppy (still available...any takers?) in the house. Much less poop to deal with. Hip hip hooray! (ok, there's just part of me that wants to add "the super readers save the day!" if your child watches PBS you know where I'm coming from).

Oh, and tonight I get to go to a Pam Chef make and take and come home with 2 meals. Definately a good day!

Marathon 35

• vitamins
• no eating after 8:30
• low sweets

Marathon 36

• vitamins
• 64 oz water
• no eating after 8:30
• low(ish) sweets (it's a close call...in a pinch when hungry through all my driving around ate some frosted animal crackers...hmmm...)

P.S. Advance notice...it's Chinese New Year next Monday. I know it's not celebrated by many of you reading this blog...but...maybe you can use it to expand your horizons or teach your kids about different cultures. (or...just treat yourself to some Chinese food!)

P.P.S. "Loss Leaders" are the things that stores (grocery mainly) price low to get you in the door. So low that they may even lose money on them...but they are counting on making that up with the other things you buy.
