Thursday Thirteen

April 30, 2009

So, I decided to reinstate my Thursday Thirteen after a bloglines screw up yesterday that reminded me of them. They were fun and I’ll try to remember each week (and not slack).

Thirteen random thoughts on my mind today.

1. Why is it when you order at a drive thru and say that’s all, they have to try to sell you other things are ask, are you sure?! Yes, I know what I ordered and no, I wouldn’t like some fries with that.

2. I am addicted to the Living Social pick 5 things on facebook.

3. You know the old saying, “blood is thicker than water”…yeah, not so much it seems.

4. Jumping on the trampoline is fun, I forgot just how much.

5. Why is it that just when I begin to see my desk again, someone piles something else on it.

6. It’s strange, but sine my surgery I cannot stomach anything other than water to drink. Before my surgery, I hated water.

7. Scheduling summer trips and care for Jacey is a PITA…especially when you have the military to contend with.

8. Why do companies even waste the paper, ink and postage to send you a $2.02 check?

9. I agree with my pastor, when I get to heaven I am going to ask God, “Why mosquitoes?” and “Why pollen?”.

10. As much as I am looking forward to Relay for Life tomorrow, I am also ready for it to be done for a bit.

11. Will I ever get to “sleep in” again?

12. I want to know where all my time went? I got more accomplished as a new mom with an infant than I do now.

13. I hardly recognize myself anymore…and that’s not a bad thing.

Flexible, I am. Even when I was heavier, that is one thing that always amazed people.

R.I.P. Nike+, R.I.P

April 29, 2009

So, my Nike+ sensor finally bit the dust. I got it in September 2007 and it has over 275 miles on it (it was used very sporadically until September 2008). I got the dreaded low battery warning during my run last Friday. I had heard rumors about being able to replace the battery, so I found the tutorial on instructables and bought the battery. Bryan took it apart and replaced the battery Tuesday. Tuesday night, it connected with my ipod fine. Today I go out to run and it won’t connect…blah. Guess this means the $5 fix wasn’t successful and I need to order a new one after all…I’m just bummed that this means none of my mileage is going to count in my challenges until the new one gets here.

But, on the other hand, the death urged me to try out the RunKeeper app that I downloaded for my iPhone here while back. I hadn’t tried it yet, because I just have this fear of running and sweat with my phone that would cost $400 to replace. I took a leap of faith (and a ziploc bag) and headed out. The program is pretty cool and I can see it being a definite addition to my running arsenal.

My Nike+ sensor died, so I gave RunKeeper a try on my iPhone with my run tonight. Pretty nifty, I definitely see it as an addition to my run arsenal.

Books…I love to read but only wish I had more time to!
