Happy Thanksgiving... Papers are done

Amazing it's 12:13am and Shanda and Joseph just finished the Thanksgiving papers. The Standard Examiner got the bundles out in a hurry, so just as I was drifting into a deep sleep, I hear Shanda asking me to get up and help her roll the papers. Somewhat perturbed I got up and helped her put the three sections together and bagged the papers as Joseph and her delivered them. I guess it is nice to have them finished... I just wish I could fall back asleep.

I suppose I could go read my Income Taxation textbook... that should do the trick.

Day at the Temple

Shanda suggested that we get some pictures of the Ogden Temple with the kids. So after church today, we grabbed the camera and went downtown to take some shots. The kids were good sports, and we enjoyed being on the Temple grounds.

Long Run

Runner's World has a really cool training log that allows you to track your training program. I just started using it really like the features and service it provides. It's nice to have something like this that can keep me going with my workout. I'm happy to report that from the beginning of November I've run just over 43 miles.

Yesterday I may have gone overboard a bit as I ran 10 miles. It was a great run, a little slow but still I finished the run. I don't recall the last time I ran that far, but it was a LONG time ago. With all the running, I just hope to see some of the pounds shed off. It amazes me to do all these workouts, trying to eat right, etc. and not see a single pound fall off. Maybe when it happens it will be like a dam break.

Needless to say, I feel like Frankenstein today with very stiff and sore legs. I hope that by tomorrow, they'll loosen up enough to run some more.

Maybe this is why the weight isn't coming off, did someone say eggnog?

Let's see if I can figure out how to do this...

So it's been a bit since I last posted a blog. I guess you could say either life's been too busy to think about blogging, or there hasn't been anything interesting enough to blog about since August... hmmm... I really don't know. My theory is a new memory card is to blame. Prior to our trip to Seattle we wanted to make sure we had plenty of space on our camera to take all the fun pictures of the kids. Before we had the memory card, we would frequently have to download the pictures off the camera, which gave me an opportunity to view them and then make a post about them. I just downloaded almost 400 pictures off the camera... so you could say it's been a while. Now looking through that folder there are a bunch of pictures I could have posted over the last few months, but now it seems anti-climatic to comment on them now.

Oh well, I'll try to do a better job, but first did someone say pie?
