SUCCESS!!!

FINALLY!!! EVERYTHING WORKED TODAY! Why today and not yesterday? Well, let's just say I had some more stomach problems and uh ya.. hopefully you can get the picture. I wake up, hit the snooze and do my in-bed morning stretches (curl, uncurl, close my eyes, get stepped on by Sundae, get licked by Sundae, push her off the bed, curl, etc) and then the alarm goes off again and I try to wake up. Luckily Kim was waking up at the same time and Sundae was ready to go do her thing, so that got me up and going. Start eating my energy bar, hit the bathroom, get my suit on, fill up my water bottle, make sure both pair of goggles don't break, and BAM.. no I didn't run into the door (whew). I got to the pool and oh man that was awesome! Nice warm up, did a 400 IM KDDS, 3 sets of 4 50's (Fly/Free, Back/Free, Breast/Free, Free) on the minute (yes that's ridiculously slow, but I didn't want to completely die on my first practice) and then did a 100 IM "fast"ish. Short cool down and got out. About a mile of swimming in 40 minutes. I was pretty stinking proud of myself. Got home and just about collapsed, but in a good way. Took a long shower, got dressed and hit hte door for work. Now, I know this will probably make Kim mad, but I went to Chik Fil A and got a Chicken Biscuit and Dr. Pepper because I knew I'd be dragging all day if I didn't have something. It's already working and although my eyes are ready to be closed for a good 2.5 hrs, not gonna let em (well I can't really, I have support group and batteries to change, not to mention all the other stuff to do).

So yay!! Hah, I have to mention Kim and I's adventure from last night. So as we're going to have a baby and trying to buy a house (I'll let ya know how that turns out, obviously) we've been saving money, and money we have saved! I've never had so much money in a Savings account before in my life (pretty cool feeling)! So in this money saving mode, we have cut out a lot of things, mostly buying stuff we don't need (clothes, shoes, movies, etc) and been staying in the house doing nothing. Well that's gotten to be really boring so we decided, ok let's go do something. Then we remember BINGO! So we ate some food, went to the bingo hall and as soon as I turned in I thought "I just aged 10 years" but it was ok. We walk up to get some supplies and the lady is like "We JUST cashed out." BUMMER, "We'll come back next week" So with that idea shot, the mall is right around the corner, do we dare tempt ourselves? Why not, we need the exercise. So we walk and find stuff we want, but somehow still have the will power to not purchase. As we leave a store Kim realizes "I don't have my phone." (Does "pregnancy brain" start this early?" So we back track go to one store, go to another, go to another, nothing. Walk to the car to see if it was there, nope. Walk back in, start asking people, nothing. Back to some more, ask, maybe there was a phone turned in. They check.............. HOT DOG!! (all that in about a 2 hour time span). So needless to say, we got our exercise for the day. And that should do it, HAVE FUN YA'LL!!
