It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

...inside my house. I love the Christmas season, and I like for it to last as long as possible. My husband won't let me put up the tree yet, but I have started putting up the stockings, a few wreaths, and a manger scene.
I wanted to change the look of my blog to reflect my spirit, but the Christmas templates won't be updated til Monday. Darn! I really wish it would snow! I've been reading some other blogs, and it is snowing where they live. I love snow! I don't like to drive in it. I just like to look at it. It's so pretty, don't you think?

...and I started off so well!

In the first two days of this week, I was runnin'. I ran and I ran. Ok, so it was more like I walked and I walked (3 miles), and I did get in a 1/4 mile run...yea me!
However, this was Tuesday, and it is now Friday. I have eaten A LOT! I have not run at all! eating+no running=tight pants! UGH!

Marathon for a Month

Today is the day. The day I will start running (or more likely walking) 26.2 miles. No, it will not be all at once. Maybe by the end of the month I could do it all at once...highly unlikely, but maybe. Just call me Katie.
I am running (walking) for a cause. It's all about helping a man who is a husband and father. He has cancer. Donate $20. Run (or walk) Marathon in a Month. Get t-shirt. Contact Cari using link under favorite blogs for more info.
This is a great idea! It's a way to do something good for others, while doing something good for you too!!

Happy Howoween!

I had to take Jackson to the doctor on Monday because he was wheezing so bad. He was not only given a steroid for the wheezing, but he was given an antibiotic for an ear infection! Thankfully, he has been acting fine.
However, yesterday (Halloween)daycare calls: Jackson threw up, and he hasn't eaten much today. They will keep him until I get out of school because he is acting normal. Thank goodness!
I pick him up from daycare at 3. He seems fine. No more throwing up. Yea!
Not sure why he threw up in the first place, but I'm thinking when they said he's hasn't eaten much he had eaten a few too many sweets. We trick or treated for 2 1/2 hours. The boys had so much fun!!!

Jackson (Yoda): Tweat, pease. Tanks!
Tanner (Darth Vader): Trick or treat. Happy Howoween!

Do you think I have pictures? Of course not! I forgot my camera!! Not that I'd be able to download the pictures anyway. However, my mom and my sister took pictures, so hopefully I can post some at a later date.

Politician campaigning say what?

Thursday nights I have class at 6, so I have a 2 hour drive after I get off work. I stopped at home to grab a few things and check my craigslist account (I'm trying to get rid of stuff!). Anyway, a local politician decided to campaign at my door during this process. He seemed nice, and he could tell that I was in a hurry.

politician: Not a good day to campaign the day before Halloween, huh? It looks like you're all ready.
me (confused): Sure, we're excited about going trick-or-treating tomorrow. Can I just take a flier? I'm getting ready to head out the door.
He hands me a flier.
me (shaking his hand): It was very nice to meet you! Have fun campaigning!
politician: Have fun at your Halloween party!
me (still confused): Thanks.

What?! He thought I was dressed up for Halloween! I was wearing this dress
and these boots
and he thought I was dressed for Halloween...as what? I wore this to school, and I have worn it to church!
Needless to say, I will not be voting for him on Tuesday!

I'm not sure why the pictures of my outfit aren't coming up, but know that it did not look like a costume! :)
