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 ;)

Maurine and I ran 5 miles from the B&B up City Creek Canyon.  It was SO fun to run with Maurine :) We went REALLY slow but it was VERY FUN!!!

Wicked was FANTASTIC!!  David even liked it :)  He does have a soul!  The Melting Pot was good but not $104 good.  The fruit and veggeis were OLD and dried up.  Again, I really liked it, but not as much as I should have liked it ;)  The Armstrong Mansion was really wonderful.  I love that place.  They have an amazing breakfast!!!  YUMMY!

The only casualty was Will.  He got knocked into the fireplace and craked his head open :(  Fortunatly, our neighbor can over and gave the "no stitches" verdict.  Phew!

I enjoyed running with you this morning. Thanks for your cheerful disposition.

Sounds like you had a wonderful time!! I'm soooo jealous that you got to see Wicked, I really wanted to.

Glad that there were not stitches.

WHAT a way to start the day, 7 miler with Maurine!!! I LOVED Wicked!!! My hubby declares that he likes it better than Les Miserabe or Phantom or Mama Mia. Enjoy the rest of your b'day celebration. Sorry about Will's ouwie.

From marion on Thu, Apr 30, 2009 at 18:39:32 from 71.213.126.135

David said, and I quote, "Wicked was WAY better than Les Mis!" He actually slept in Les Mis!

From leslie on Thu, Apr 30, 2009 at 18:42:53 from 76.23.61.78

oh, poor little Will! You get away for 24 hours and dang the kid cracks his head open! No fair!

It is 4:37, my 4:30 isn't here, wonder if I am getting stood up.....

From Smooth on Thu, Apr 30, 2009 at 18:45:12 from 71.36.87.147

Hey Marion,

Where are you running on Sat.? Do you and LuzyLew and anyone else (Leslie, Maurine) want to join us on the Lehi JRP?

From marion on Thu, Apr 30, 2009 at 18:47:05 from 71.213.126.135

Leslie- if it is for a massage, I'll be there in 45 minutes!!!

Smooth- I think we are doing the PRT, but Maurine needs to be back in Sandy by 10, so we may have to make it the JRP-Lehi

From leslie on Thu, Apr 30, 2009 at 18:51:41 from 76.23.61.78

4:46 and still no lady....

From leslie on Thu, Apr 30, 2009 at 18:53:13 from 76.23.61.78

Come Marion, the candles are lit, the aromatherapy wafting thru the room and the it is so toasty and warm and Enya is playing in the background....

From marion on Thu, Apr 30, 2009 at 18:57:10 from 71.213.126.135

I wish I had know you going to get stood up- I would have had DAvid dump me off at your house!!!

My sweet neighbor just called and invited our WHOLE family over for dinner :) She is so nice and nuts ;) Why don't you and Harold move down here???

From Smooth on Thu, Apr 30, 2009 at 19:02:33 from 71.36.87.147

Leslie,

I'm there! I need a massage!

Marion,

I want your neighbor!

From leslie on Thu, Apr 30, 2009 at 19:04:25 from 76.23.61.78

Cool, now you don't have to cook 2 nights in a row!!! The birthday just keeps on giving!!!

I could totally move to Payson, except I would spend to much on gas driving to Paradise Bakery and Cafe Rio. Dang you for bringing up cookies, I just ate 4 little whole wheat chocolate chip cookies, but I want more now, thanks to you.

From marion on Thu, Apr 30, 2009 at 19:12:24 from 71.213.126.135

Oh no- did I post that out loud? I REALLY want a sugar cookie with TOO much pink frosting. (any other pastel color will do!) I WANT A SUGAR COOKie!!!

From Smooth on Thu, Apr 30, 2009 at 19:15:49 from 71.36.87.147

You need to change your title to "COOKIE MONSTER or COOKIE DIVA"

From RAD on Thu, Apr 30, 2009 at 20:29:19 from 71.59.190.225

Nice job getting a run in on vacation night with hubby! I'd SO use that excuse to sleep in. I hope to see you Sat at JRP :)

From maurine on Thu, Apr 30, 2009 at 21:11:07 from 97.117.57.193

Are you still playing Christmas music?

From MichelleL on Fri, May 01, 2009 at 18:42:08 from 71.219.40.17

What room did you stay in at Armstrong? I love that place. That's where we stayed the night we got married (I'll leave it at that).

From marion on Fri, May 01, 2009 at 18:56:24 from 71.213.127.206

We stayed in December this time. We have stayed in November and June. Our November story is SUPER funny!

From Maurine/Tarzan on Fri, May 01, 2009 at 19:14:44 from 97.117.57.193

Was November the one with the jetted tub story :-) ?

From marion on Fri, May 01, 2009 at 19:18:14 from 71.213.127.206

Yep- I can't even walk by that one with out cracking up. Every time I go in the kitchen or dining room there I just about die! ;) Good times :)
