Catching up by way of rambling.....

Well, I keep waiting for something exciting to happen so I can blog about it... and then realized I was simply living my life, and it was exactly the type things that I should write about... So here are a few things that are going on in the little bubble that I live in...

1. I get my boot cast off in two days, I am so excited I may through a party! :)
2. I am hopeful to be able to run again in a week or so...keep your fingers crossed the doctor says I can!
3. I signed up for the Chicago Marathon in October, I will run it with my brother. It will be one of the hardest things I have ever done, but I look so forward to the training and to the feeling of accomplishment when we cross the finish line together!
4. I will be 30 in about two weeks. What a crazy thing!
5. One of my girl friends just told me she is pregnant... I can not wait for the next months to follow and live vicariously through her... What an exciting time for her!
6. I am throwing a bridal shower for my cousin in April, and can not wait!! My parents are coming into town for it, should be lots of fun!
7. I realized that I am one of those people who thrives in warmer weather and sort of hibernates in the cold... I do not like to admit it, but I am. I am so ready for spring break and summer vacation... I am ready to be tan and rested and healthier.... I think I am more active in the warmer weather and need it to warm up before none of my pants fit!!
8. I am on the HOA Board of the neighborhood and have met two fantastic girls that live in my cul-de-sac, how lucky is that?? One of them is pregnant and I hope to take walks with her and the baby... and Gracie, of course!!

I have turned over an old leaf again.. I am packing a gym bag and taking it to work so that I go straight there after work. I did this last year and it was foolproof... I look forward to seeing some results soon!! That being said, I am headed straight to the gym after work and then to Barnes and Noble to meet Jeanine for coffee and book browsing. We are going to get the book for March's book club, The Next Thing on My List. I am excited about the visit and the book....
