Window Shopping

Here's the thing. I've been hitting the gym 3-4 times a week for the last 8 or 9 weeks. And I've really stepped it up in the last 2 or 3. I can run 5 miles! and am feeling great. The scale isn't speaking to me as fast as I'd like it to, but I'm not losing sight of how I feel and the fact that I'm well on my way to being able to do the things I used to. I'm incredibly grateful for a baby who will let me get to the gym as often as I'd like. Another incredible blessing.



As Anderson has started preschool for 2 1/2 hours in the afternoon 3 times a week and Carter is gone all day everyday, I found myself at the mall this afternoon, making a few exchanges. I thought I'd hit up my favorite store to see what's new. I couldn't find anything this past June when I was desperate for a few things, but now. . .now there's a slew of things I'd love. I didn't have the time to try things on (and maybe wasn't brave enough to risk disappointment) so I don't even know if these things would fit right, (and curse nursing bras that don't really fit me which only add to that problem!) but they are certainly cute, aren't they:










Now it would be really nice if I could get my hands on $400!
(and that would only cover the stuff I want! not all the cute little and big boy stuff they have at Old Navy and The Children's Place. *sigh* if only money grew on trees.)

Dan just recently planted lots of trees in our yard. I wish upon them frequently, and am positive that at least one of them will respond to the wishing and start sprouting greenbacks. When it does, I will let you know, and we can both go do some real shopping. We could even have matching outfits. Wouldn't that be lovely?

You have great style...something I keep thinking might just happen to me someday. And 5 miles?! Wow. Good for you. I'm trying so hard to listen to your advice. Takes another endurance runner to know how hard the mind speaks to us to do dumb things.
