Random Thoughts

I've been admonished for not keeping my blog up-to-date, and for keeping that picture of the balloon up on my blog too long. (Hope you like the new picture I posted, Dad!)

So I'm going to try to keep blogging, but I can't guarantee that anyone will actually be interested in what I have to say.

I created a new word yesterday - Garmining: to use the Garmin Forerunner. Sentence - "Are you Garmining on your run today or just using your watch?" The Garmin is giving us some attitude and my husband has to smack it a few times to get it to work. That's technology for you.

I dreamed about playing the Pokemon trading card game last night. While I have a great time playing with my six year old, this Pokemon thing is getting out of control. And every day he seems find more cards. I don't know where. He trades them and then today he said he found some under his bed. We were looking for cards last week and I didn't see any under there. And somehow he got an old 1996 Japanese Pokemon card, but he doesn't remember how he got it. I guess Transformers are so last month; Pokemon is the cool thing now.

At least I'm not doing the princess thing. My brother gets to enjoy playing barbies and princesses in a few years! He he! My brother and I used to play Superstar Barbie and the Six Million Dollar Man. Barbie would ride around in a shoe (her car) and I propped up some books for houses. I don't remember what the Six Million Dollar Man would do.

My new favorite show is Heroes. Save the cheerleader, save the world! We are watching the DVDs of the first season. We have a hard time stopping after just one episode a night.

Last but not least, my leg was really sore today. I'm contemplating going back to the doctor and possibly getting orthotics. I don't think I've done any major damage - just the same old shin splints - but maybe the orthotics are what I need. In the meantime, I rode the stationary bike today. 20 minutes, 5 miles, only 130 calories. Ugh. And very boring. Tomorrow I'll try to run on the treadmill again at lunch.
