Run. Eat. Learn.

So, what I know now is that you have to create something cool in photoshop or illustrator, then create an image and html it into the blog. That is how I will make this blog lovely. And, I have got to get rid of the dots. They are starting to make me crazy. And how about this rain . . . oh my god. I lived in Portland, Oregon. This is much worse. I lived in Colorado. This is not as bad. I yearn for hot summer days and dips in the pool. I don't care what anyone says. Kindergarten starts in 4 weeks. We've got one week left of summer camp and our life as Jewish parents will slowly crawl to an end. Though my hopes are high that we might make frequent visits to the Jewish Community Center, the fact is that we won't. We never go there other than to drop Jake and pick him up and I'd rather spend my money on yoga and Gilbert's Gazelles. Joel has taken up running and it's been awesome. He has run up to 7 miles on one day and frequents 3-4 mile runs regularly. He looks awesome. I keep dreaming of consistent running but have lightly sprained my ankle twice just since I started messing around with it. My ambitions are high but I'm very much still committed to YAAC (yoga at all costs) which has been working out great for me. There are so many things to do and never enough time for all of it. I constantly struggle with time. Time for Jake, time for me, time for love and family, time for the dogs, time for the house. The struggle to balance is impossible and I really don't see where I am supposed to fit in any extracurricular learning. Maybe I should consider ritalin. Atleast I could focus long enough to learn how to sew. My own compelling need to fix this ugly blog will eventually force me to learn some HTML. Here's a tip for anyone who's chasing whatever latest fad diet that exists. One, those diets only work once. If you gain the weight back, they rarely work twice. Two, consider that you may look great just the way you are. Three, consider a lifetime change in diet. My bestest gal and hottie chickie friend, (you guess who you are) told me about her lifetime change years ago and I've done it twice and it always works. Drop wheat out of your life, consider dairy too if you are a huge cheese, ice cream type eater. I'm not. The wheat is my demon. Suddenly I'm not drinking beer, eating bread, flour tortillas, crackers, goldfish, etc. Immediately I drop water weight. It's awesome. Then I lean down, just a bit. Gotta exercise too. Don't forget your supplements if you skip dairy. I promise prettier blog and pictures. I'm lazy about uploading. Happy Raining!
