It seems hard to concentrate on any single specific thing going on right now so I figured I would just post about the little stuff.

At-man is in camp this week and last. He is growing up so fast I can’t even explain it. It’s funny how it seems like they just go to bed one night and wake up a completely different person. He just seems so much more mature than even last week. As grown as he has been, for some reason he has taken to carrying Thanksgiving Turkey(his stuffed elephant) to camp everyday, reminding me that as much as he seems to comprehend, he is still only 4 years old.

Em is talking more and more every day. I wish I could explain how cute he is when we starts talking about Spiderman (pida-may), and his “choo twain?” Which he always sounds like he is questioning and I don’t know why. He has perfected the art of shaking his groove thang, and whenever music plays he likes to climb on the ottoman and dance. He is still my running buddy but lately it’s been too hot to run outdoors. It’s driving me a bit crazy so I’ve been doing a bit more yoga for variety.

D is in the midst of a stock market obsession. I swear he is going to chuck it all and become a day trader.

I know it’s the middle of July, but tonight I am celebrating a major victory in holiday dress shopping. I took a risk and ordered a chocolate velvet cocktail dress from the big J.Crew online summer sale. These items are no-refundable so it is a bit of a crap shoot, but I got a great swim suit last year so I figured I would take another chance. This particular dress was around 200 originally and I got it for 29.95 and I love it. It’s very simple and classic so I’m sure it will get some wear. I was going to link to it but it has apparently already sold out, at least in my size, so it’s no longer on the site.

I think I am going to go ahead and declare my intention to begin marathon training this fall. I hope to run the Disney Marathon in January; we shall see how it goes. I thought it would seem more daunting but my weekly mileage is already nearing 30 so I might as well take it to the next level while the going is good.

Tomorrow we are going to Panera. We used to go to Panera for breakfast all the time, but I made the mistake of reading the fat content of my usual bagel and cream cheese combo and haven’t been able to go back since. Tomorrow I have decided that I do not care, I shall go and enjoy the clumps of cinnamon sugar that fall off my bagel and I will get over it. It will be good. I am actually going to end this post now so I can go to their website and research a food choice I won’t have to feel guilty about all day.

That’s about all for now. Hope everyone is doing well.
