I would like to be able to keep up with my daughter. The one who runs xc, not the one who's going to change the world through dance. Although I would like to be able to dance also, so I change that to me wanting to be able to keep up with both my daughters.
Personal:
I have two gorgeous daughters; two good-looking cats and two dogs with great personalities.
Peanut butter cups are one of my favorites. Rachel sent me a bunch and I devour them by the greedy handful. I had to share or else I'd eat them all.
Marion,
Rice is a treat for me! The dining facility here has crappy rice. Rachel sent me a rice cooker and the kind of rice I love, and her various family members sent me sardines, so I get to have a fix now and then.
okay... all this talk of sardines is making me nausiated! I use to sit by a woman at work that ate sardines (among other more questionable items). Lets just say lunch time was NOT my favorite time of the day.
oh, she was a white as they come (from Wisconson) she just liked weird foods. LOL She pretty much ate anything. I guess I'm not as daring when it comes to food.
My dad eats the most discusting stuff! He puts cottage cheese and mayo in a bowl with jalpenos and then potato chips. YUCK!!! I used to hate it when he made me lunch for school. OOOoooooo!
I lived there for a while. I was born there actually, and lived there for 2 years. We moved back when I was in 3rd grade and left when I was in 6th. It's the reason I can't give blood. Apparently the American bases were supplied with British beef in the 80s, so I may be carrying Mad Cow.
Germans had to be tough to chew some of that bread. I loved brochen even though it made my jaws sore.
Camille,
It seemed that every other person in the Air Force was from Wisconsin. I knew a girl who would eat a block of cheddar for lunch.
Germans ARE tough! My mother in law grew up in east germany and she is one tough mother! Her stories of WWII make me cry. I think becasue of what she has told me, I have a huge amount of sympathy for the Iraqi people. War is hell is not just a catch phrase. Now I am all wheepy- I am going out for chinese food! :)
When our oldest was high chair age, we were eating at a Chinese place and the waiter would name the plate as he set them in front of us. He put down a plate in front of her and she stated very audibly, "My name's not flied lice!"
Now oatmeal, my dad and David will not eat. They both grew up pretty poor and had cold lumpy oatmeal every day and wil not be compelled to eat it at all. Oatmeal cookies with chocolate chips, yes!
Oh I forgot the tobasco over the whole thing too. My dad and david have huge hot sauce collections and are always trying to out do eachother. Silly and self torture all in one ;)

They can't outdo Mike. If his ears turn bright red, his nose starts running and he's sweating, then it's ALMOST spicy enough.
Mike eats oatmeal with tuna in it.
I'm pretty sure Mike is related to you guys. Are you sure you don't have a long-lost Filipino/Chinese brother??

And Mike, I haven't "trained" you to eat sardines when white people are around. Really- white people?? No, just ME. The smell makes me gag. And they stink up the whole house!! Get your fill while you are in the middle of the desert, hon. :)
No RAchel- you trained him to eat outside when white people are around :) baahahahah. I am laughing at this. I bet they stinkk up the WHOLE house! David doesn't even need sardines to stink up the whole house! Speaking of stinking up the whole house, one day DAvid let a little toot loose. My 2 year old, then 1, looked him square in the eye and ripped a huge fart! Guys are disgusting!

Yes, Mine was a typo, I left off the word "outside." I was flustered because I was so offended at the idea that I trained him. He's not a dog!
I mean, sure, he brings me tea or coffee and oatmeal in bed almoste every weekend that he is home. But that's because he's nice, it wasn't training!
No, he is not a dog, but he does eat oatmeal and tuna! There are the sardines, too ;) Trained may be offensive, but I think guys feel a bit "trained" at times trying to figure out how to live with us girls ;)

I was being sarcastic- it was mock-offense I was taking :)
3 donuts, that is all! I am a light weight! We even made one that looked like baby Jesus, just a fluke! I was going to sell it on ebay, but someone ate him this morning!
My dad would put raspberry freezer jam all over them to eat them.
You are a light weight! Good job with the positive thoughts!

Oh, that explains the prank call I got this morning. Can you email a text to my phone, or still access your aol mail? Texting me is always the best way to keep up with me. I saw you were posting on the blog but you werren't answering your phone and I was getting confused!
My knees are a deep yellow/green/purple today. I'm going to see if Mom will watch the girls so I can get at least an hour in at the gym. I wanted to stay longer yesterday, but just didn't have the time. All my parts feel great though- I love that I'm not getting winded or tired after 90 min of cardio!
90 minutes of cardio is great! Rainbow knees are not. You should start wearing knee pads and a helmet. You're much to valuable to lose my dear.
