Attempt to Promote!

ALRIGHT! I have just made a huge decision regarding my USborne books business. I have decided to promote to Supervisor! This is going to be quite a challenge! I have to get some bookshows on my schedule and get some friends to join me in helping others get fabulous books into their homes! I'm really excited and I think I can do this! Anyone else want to have their own business with these fabulous books? Starting August 1, a starter kit (worth $173) is only $15 and FREE SHIPPING! But only till August 10, apparently you have to act quickly! I'm so excited about this. It's like it was ment to be for me to start this right now!

Scofield Tri

July 18, 2009
Scofield Sprint Triathlon
750 meter swim, 12 mile bike, 5 km run
completed 2:07:15

I'm the one in the green cap.... you can't tell, really? I'm to the left of the lady in white... still can't tell, sorry!

Well the swim kinda kicked my butt. I should have been atleast 5 minutes faster, but I couldn't get myself to swim freestyle. Hey, I finished!

The bike was actually pretty good. The only really big hill was right out of transition, I ran up it with the bike, like everyone else! That's why this picture is with me walking the bike, that's what I did the first 100 feet. T1 was really smooth, I shaved atleast 30 seconds off the last Tri.

T2 was also pretty smooth; of with the bike shoes, on with the running shoes, hat, gu, drink, and run! Too bad the run wasn't that smooth. I did, however, run most of it. I only walked like 3 or 4 times. I also had to stop to fix my shoe, I was getting a blister and half of my foot was asleep. I still couldn't pick up the pace, I was really, really slow!

The best part was Monkey waiting to run across the finish line with me! He was so sweet! He held my hand and ran as fast as he could with me to finish! I got myself a medal and a water bottle! It was fabulous!

I'm hooked! I LOVE triathlons! Who knew pushing yourself beyond measure would be fun! I guess I'm a glutten for punishment. I'll be happy to share my pain with all who want to join me, it's fun!

A bunch of Crap!

We're staying with my inlaws in Alpine this weekend. This morning my boys got up early and were quite loud. So I thought I'd get them out of the house and go for a walk. Of course, we didn't get out until they woke everyone, but we were obligated to walk. We got to the corner and Monkey went to pickup a feather, so he stopped the parade behind him. As we started to walk again the strangest thing happened. I was POOPED on by a buzzard in the tree above. Yep, I have white poop all over my shoulder, front and back, and the top of the stroller has poop spots too. Total yuck! And I was wearing my new scofield tri t-shirt. Stupid bird!

I did finish my triathlon yesterday! It was so fabulous! I cut down my time from the last tri by 7 minutes! More details to come!

Update!

I'm still here. I keep forgetting to put photos up of the boys (we don't have internet at home so I have to remember to bring them with me wherever I go, and I don't usually remember). They're growing fast and furiously! And doing some fun things!
Monkey is now into pretend. He can play for hours with a couple toys downstairs. I LOVE IT! I don't have to entertain him at all. bob-a-loo, on the ohter hand, isn't as easy. He doesn't mind playing by himself, too much, but he does like to get into things. If I'm not carefully watching him I'm usually in for a BIG surprise!
We're still on the job hunt and trying not to suffer too much. On the same note, I'm TRYING to get my Usborne Books going again, just to try to get some additional income. If anyone's interested in doing a homeshow (party) or joining my team ( you can make some extra $, get out once in a while, and help other get awesome books) just let me know, I'd love to help you!
I'm doing another Tirathlon this weekend, Scofield Tri. I'm way excited and a little nervous. I'll post more pics when it's done!
