I was thinking about what I posted yesterday on the blog.  I know I must have come across as a blog snob.  I promise that's not what I ment.  I was just trying to say that I am trying not to spend so much time blogging and posting comments.  I am trying to spend that time doing other things.

Yesterday's eight seemed a lot shorter than today's six.  I think that's because I had someone to run with during four of the miles.

I tweak a nerve yesterday.  My poor right hip.  It never gets a break.

 

To answer everyone's comments from yesterday.

I did enjoy P&P.  My two favorite parts were 1) Lizzy visiting Premberly (Darcy's home and grounds) and thinking that Darcy won't be there and then he is!  And how he is so, so nice to her. 2) Lizzy's visit to her friend Catherine's home and how she runs into Dacry again and 3) (I know I just said two, but it's a good book) When Darcy keeps coming over with Jane's future husband (I can't remember his name) and Mrs. Bennett is so frustrated and confused about why Darcy keeps coming and appologizes to Lizzy for sending her on walks with him so Jane and her fiancee can be alone.

Michelle, I don't know what I am doing in terms of running right now.  I was planning on running six yesterday, but the weather was so nice and I met the girl I see doing sit ups, push ups, and running on the stadium stairs near the track.  Seriously, I had seen this girl every Monday if I go to the track.  She tucks her legs in under the bleachers and does straight up sit ups and side sit ups.  I ended up running with her for a mile.  Her name is Rachel.  I hope to see her in two weeks when I run there again.

Sarah, we will definitely call you on your birthday, so Will can sing to you.

I didn't think you were a blog snob. I think this blog is the greatest thing ever, but, like everything in life, there has to be a balance. As great as the blog is, it shouldn't take the place of family time. My husband has walked into our home office more than once, rolling his eyes and saying, "You and your blog..." I'm also trying to make sure I don't spend too much time blogging in place of more important things.

Thanks for the P&P summary-I need (and want) to read it someday. I just started a book about Sandra Day O'Connor's childhood on a ranch here in AZ. My husband asked if I wanted to be like her. I said I don't know, but I wouldn't say no if I was asked to be on the Supreme Court!
