the weather channel...

So I've been trying to do some kind of walking every M, W, & F. If it is raining, like it was this morning, I make my way to the gym. (Now before I continue my story, I should mention that in the mornings when I visit the gym it is filled mainly with the senior citizens of our community.) I've been doing the treadmill and have actually started running some. I hate to run so I always seek some major distraction while I'm doing it. There is a row of TVs so that is usually where I focus. The last two weeks every time I've hit the gym the weather channel is on at least one of the TVs. Seriously, the weather channel?! That is only exciting and distracting if there happens to be a tornado headed my way and if the tornado siren is blaring I doubt that I'd be running on a treadmill. This morning it was on two of the five TVs. It definitely proves Joe's long running comment on the weather channel--it's MTV for old people. I've probably just offended a bunch of not so elderly people that enjoy the weather channel--but seriously--in a gym??!!

my running wheel...

Nathan wants a new toy--he wants a running wheel like Fluffy has. At first I laughed, but then I really got to wondering--maybe there would be a market for something like this. It would help a two year old run off extra energy in the winter. Then I realized that it already exists. I was on one this morning actually--we call it a treadmill. I'm not sure how many times I've commented on how weird it is that Fluffy enjoys running on a wheel and going no where. Well, maybe I should take the log out of my own eye first before I start judging the poor hamster...

My new breed of plant

Yes, I'm still alive. I survived my most recent birthday. It was actually really good. I was going to attempt to catch you up on what has been going on, but not sure that I even remember everything that has been going on. So I will start with what I remember.

On Monday I planted 4 tomato plants, 4 green pepper plants, 2 banana pepper plants, 6 broccoli plants, 6 strawberry plants, and too many impatiens to count. I have replanted 3 broccoli plants, 4 pepper plants and too many impatiens to count. What would cause me to have to replant them you may ask--squirrels? rabbits? wind? rain? Nope. My two year old. I think I'm going to start a new variety of plant--one that can withstand a two year old yanking it out of the ground. If a plant can survive that, I think it can pretty much survive anything.
