Personal Best

Today I ran 8:18 minutes a mile (with one shoe untried). This has shred off 1 minute and 3 seconds from 6 weeks ago.
When I started running back in January I was running 12+ a minute a mile.

I never thought I would get to 8 minute a mile. Hard work pays off.

Birthday Cake that went bad

I baked a diet cake like normal but I tried to double stack it however it didn't turn out well.

Graceful

Well I fell while running this past week. I know... I know...I am so graceful at times.

Learn from the Best

My Grandparents came up for the weekend and we enjoy their company like always. However when the guys was hanging crown molding in our bedroom....Grandma and I hit 3 goodwills. Who else did I learn to bargain shop???
Check out our cart after 3 and half hours in the first goodwill.

Hello There

We are here to help....

Like most of you know we have been redoing our master bedroom. when we moved everything out of our bedroom the dogs thought this was for them to play and chase each other. They loved having nothing in the room.This is Bo trying to tell me he is ready to help....

King Size

We went went shopping today and we saw this King size chair.....check it out!

My Name is........

I knew what I was getting myself into when I took on the new last name but come on...give a girl a break.

I went from a common last name "Carpenter" to "Brugh" (Brew).

Monday morning in Boot Camp, they was calling our first and last name out to put us into teams. As the sgt David yelled my name out he said "Meg Bragh (bra)" -
I corrected him and yelled back "Brugh" (Brew).
He said back to me "Excuses me, what do you say?!"
My first thought that came to me was "OH S*!# I have already did enough push ups
I said "My last name is Brugh"
He said "#1 rule at boot-camp is that I am always right"

Well S*!# - I guess my last name is "Bra" at Boot Camp.

Remember When......

Remember 6 months ago when we was freezing and complaining about it being 30 degrees.....Now people are complaining about 95 degrees.

Day 1

Day 1 of fresh air.

Tomorrow is my first day with my new job.
I feel relieved.
I feel confident
I feel like I might belong
I feel that the company is strong
I feel that I can grow
I feel I can breath
I feel I can reach goals (professional and personal)
I feel self-assured
I feel thankful
I feel I can see myself there for a long time
I feel blissful

I don't feel anxious, nervous or scared - I just clam and ready to go.

Bluetooth

No....I don't have a BLUE tooth..... I am talking about my ear piece that is connected to my cell phone.

I use mine everyday....driving in the car, cleaning my closet, scrubbing the toilet and shopping.

Last weekend I was shopping at Walmart and talking to my mother in law on my blue-tooth hands free and not thinking anything of it. As I was standing in line to check out, as we was ending our conversation and saying good bye. I was noticing a older lady (maybe mid 80s) sitting on a bench staring at me. I just didn't pay attention to her and continue to wait to check out.

Before I knew it she approached me asking "Who are you talking to?" A little puzzled I just replied that I was on the phone and I turn my head so she could see my blue tooth in my ear. She said to me "Honey, I thought you was talking to yourself and I was worried about you."

Just a little bit of a generation difference. I might think twice when using my blue-tooth when I am shopping.
