My dog Frasier

Ending this year on a humorous note!Heres my dog frasier stealing his gifts on christmas day before he was allowed to open them!

The end of a decade

There have been questions about 2010 being the end or the start of a decade.I think I will go with it being the end of a decade mainly because its my blog and what I say goes !!
I do a review of my year around this time and as I look back I am happy with the way things went.Reached two goals.Ran a marathon and learnt how to drive.I have to say that the marathon was far easier than the learning how to drive goal!
I have been in great health and so has my husband and next year we are going to focus on being better.I gained weight training for the marathon and have manage to lose most of that weight this year.
Its a bit scary standing here looking out over a blank canvas -the new year but God is good and with me all the way so bring it on!

Christmas

I think I finally have a hold on Christmas this year!
Have most of my gifts wrapped and ready to go.Working on Christmas cards.Have my tree up
Finally!

The only reason I am able to do so is because my mom is here and I dont have much to do in terms of housework!

More politics

Is it me or is everyone just sick of the political ads on TV.I find that every person attacks their opponent rather than use the ad as a platform to say what they plan on doing.

Though it seems like empty promises flow when any promises are made.

GA seems to be having some very tight races.The governors race is  pretty tight.Our local congressman is pretty useless so I would love to see him go!But the Republican candidate is very new to politics so not sure if he is a good candidate!

Decisions decisions decisions!

Local Politics

Its been a while since I blogged and have forgotten how cathartic it is!
My latest gripe is the local politics.Our elections are coming up in July.
Two years ago,we had a bunch of crooks running the show.And yes,I literally mean that.The DA's husband was the county comissioner and their best friend was the sheriff.Together they ruined the county I live in.The DA had so many cases on backlog it was not even funny.The sherriff went around giving every single one of his friends a badge,fired all the white cops(they sued him for that),gang related crimes increased etc.They were all voted out of office,mostly in run offs and things had limped back to normalcy since then.Last heard the DA and her husband ran a law firm and the sherriff was sued for all the firings and lost.He declared bankruptcy and went to work as a car salesman.
Well,this time around they are all running for office.
Sad part is,if people dont go and vote these idiots will win

Anniversaries

This weekend hubby and I celebrate 8 years of wedded bliss.
We joke about it being 8 years of extreme torture!But the years have just flown by.

Most of you know we met online and got married 4 days after we first met.Most people thought it would not last but it has!
Sure we have our ups and downs but at the end of the day we can truly say that we are happy.
Hubby says our marriage succeeds because of my compromise!The truth is every marriage survives because of compromises made.
I dont really understand when he talks about Twin Cam and Brake pads and I'm sure he does not care what my mileage per week was or my running stats for last year was!
But I do care when the bike is working in perfect order so that I can ride on the back without any worries!
I've been blessed...

Where have I been?

It may be time to get serious about blogging again!
Though most of you are my friends on FB and probably know me too well by now!
I am seriously training for my marathon and its not been easy.If I dont finish a scheduled run,I get depressed.
My whole life is governed by the weather.
As in....will it rain on Friday...day of my long run...if it does ,then does that mean I get to do a treadmill workout which I do not look forward to!
Longing for the days when I ran only because I wanted to and not because I have to.
On that note,I have dropped 2 lbs since I started training so that tells you a lot about how much I eat!
