weekend whoops

The Forerunner is really freakin' cool. I went for a run yesterday and it mapped my course, kept track of my lap times (1m) and gave me my overall pace for the course. I was sad to learn that my course is only 3.66 miles tho... I was hoping for closer to 4m. Its a pretty slow course for me (10:13 avg pace) and there is one killer and one baby hill but both seem to slow me down significantly. I'll run the "5m" course tomorrow and see how far it REALLY is.

Otherwise things are going well. The hubby recovered from his plague and no-one else has exhibited symptoms yet, so I'm hopfull that I was able to contain the spread. I fixed a toilet (replaced the wax ring), planted 6 varrigated barberry shrubs along our fence, successfully baked an edible zucchinni bread (hooray for recipies by emeril!) and made a memorial day dinner for hubby and his co-workers who had to work today... brats with carmelised onions, dijon-potato salad, and warm brownie sundaes. Horribly fattening, but its a holiday and they have to work, so I spoiled them a bit.

Anyone have any advice on potty training? I've forgotten how its done, and I'm just not feeling good about this process right now. Must get more diapers!

I'm jealous. I want to be a runner so I can get a Forerunner, too. Must do some serious jogging this week.

Glad to hear the hubby recovered and kept his germs to himself. Sick kiddos and a sick mommy just aren't a great combo for the good life.

Potty training ... oh boy! 'Twas a piece of cake with the daughter, but the son was a TOTALLY different story. What I found to be most effective (for both of them) was to just let them run around without a diaper on as much as possible.

Good luck, girl. I don't envy you at all. (*thanks the stars above that both her kids are well past that stage and she's fixed so no more babies come along and force her to relive that experience ever again*) LOL

I second the run around without a diaper as much as possible method! Worked for my boy. My husband was the one that actually got him started - and then when I taught him how to pull his pants up and down there was no stopping him!

The forerunner sounds awesome. I got a pedometer, spent $30 on it, and it kept giving me different readings for the same distance. Frustrating.

Have a good week!
