I started running in May of 2006 while losing 85 lbs after my youngest was born.  I have 6 fantastic kids, 3 girls and 3 boys and a wonderful husband.  My oldest is in college and my baby is in pre-school. (Six kids in 5 schools ;)

Nice run with Kim this morning.  The wind was STIFF and in our faces the whole first 2.5 miles.  We did not have the same blessing of a tail wind on the way home :(  Oh well!!

I am off to vote and to the dentist.  Good times!

I LOVE to vote, HATE going to the dentist!!

Nice run today Sweet Marion!!

From Kelli on Tue, Nov 04, 2008 at 13:08:11

HATE the dentist! I wish you the luck of very clean teeth and no cavities. Does anyone like the Dentist? They say their suicide rate is high becasue everyone HATES them.

GREAT RUN!!!

I just got back. It's only going to cost me $329 :( Right before christmas!!! ARGH!!!!! Ashley & Anna are only going to be $12 a peice. The boys and Kate are this afternoon! ARGH again. I'd better go get a diet pepsi and go vote! At this point I am feeling rebelious and want to skip it!

From Lybi on Tue, Nov 04, 2008 at 15:32:45

Ug. Cold wind is yucky. But shovelling out money to the dentist in November is even yuckier! Sorry! Hope you still vote, ya wonder woman.

From JulieC on Tue, Nov 04, 2008 at 15:39:13

Would that run perhaps have been with Kim Robison? Tell her hello. Better yet tell her to blog... a little. Also there is a Turkey Trot in Sandy this Saturday (5K) and is $12 with all the same prizes and a t-shirt. I just thought I would throw that out there if you still hadn't decided on a Turkey Trot. I haven't. Long drive I guess from Payson though. Have a nice day!!!!

Lybi- Thankfully this dentist is AWESOME and is giving me $50 off each of us! Whoo hoo!!! and I did go vote! It was really neat actually! I have never missed an election, but I have been a bit down about the whole thing this year. Anyway- as I voted I felt very reasurred that all is well and I am doing what I need to do. Good times!

Julie- Yes it was the AMAZING Kim Robison. She is the NICEST person I have ever known. I love her to no end! There is a turkey trot this sat? I have to work. I need to find one on thanksgiving. ;)

I am afraid of the dentist! I need to make an appt but know I will have cavities Eek! stupid weak enamel. Don't be down about the election! As soon as Bush is gone we will all be set free! Though I did hear a disconcerting report on NPR today that said that Cheney and Bush might bomb Iran after the Democrats win the election this year since they will be lame ducks and have nothing to lose. Got to "fight that war!"

From Kelli on Tue, Nov 04, 2008 at 18:25:42

My one perk in life is that my dad is a dentist, and good thing becasue i have crappy teeth!!! I swear every time I go I have to get a crown. Soon enough I will not have any real teeth left!

Sorry 'bout that, another necessary evil out there---DENTISTS!

Glad voting was good. I really had to force myself to go as I could care less about both presidential candidates. They have both lied so much and neither can do anything that they are promising. I have never felt like that before, but I voted anyway! Whatever happens, we will be fine!

From marion on Tue, Nov 04, 2008 at 18:25:59

I love NPR. That is the WORST rumor I have ever heard. It had better not be true. I do believe that Iran is not a great source of love for the US, but if we bomb them, who next? There are plenty of nations that hate us and want the US gone. That doesn't mean we can kill all of the US haters in the world. Argh- sorry for the political commentary. It's a hot topic without clear cut solutions.

From montelepsy on Wed, Nov 05, 2008 at 00:58:45

Whomever we bomb next, I hope it's in a better location than a desert. Perhaps we'd get more people volunteering to deploy if we attacked the South of France.

Really Mike :) It would just be nice if everyone could just be kind and get along.

From The Howling Commando on Wed, Nov 05, 2008 at 09:13:08

Did you stay up to watch the results come in last night?! :)

From marion on Wed, Nov 05, 2008 at 10:36:09

I was walking in the door last night as they annouced Obama. I woke up early to catch the other stuff this morning.
