So, I guess I'm a blogger now...

I've recently been reading a lot of blogs (i.e. not using my time wisely) so I guess I was finally inspired to get on and blog myself after what I saw today.
This morning, I was feeling pretty darn good about myself and my recent string of days where I managed to shower and dress nicely (not dirty sweats and a hat to cover the bedhead). I had a plan for the day and was already partly done with the errand list, we hadn't had one meltdown and I still had time to get some more done before I had to pick up the carpool. Plus, the weather was gorgeous for early February! It was all ruined by a trip out the PW Parkway. Ruined may be a bit harsh, but the guilt has definitely set in. Right about the time where I usually say, "Hey, Ben, are there any horses out today?" I got to say, "Hey, Ben, there's my running friend Miss Heidi!" (Ben usually responds, "Where?!?" and looks out the wrong side of the car, missing the running friend, the horses, the fire truck, the motorcycle, the whatever!) I thought about beeping and waving in support but decided just to let the peaceful run continue uninterrupted...Heidi probably wouldn't recognize the van anyway.
Feeling extremely proud of my running buddies, I rounded the corner only to see the outline of someone with a jogging stroller in the distance. I was excited, as I usually am when I see jogging strollers, mostly because it isn't me pushing one, but because to me, it is a really powerful sight. Anyway, as I got closer, I couldn't believe it...it was Katy M and Leah!! Again, I thought about honking and waving but decided not to interrupt. Plus, this was unprecedented...two running buddies on one drive down the Parkway!!
All I could think was, so much for my productivity, these ladies are awesome...I should have been running...
