Dear Lilac Dreamer*
This is a response to Lilac Dreamer‘s most recent post. You will note that midway through her post she states the following: “For instance, the fun of the chicken dance has been banned…I know, collective ‘AWWW‘…but what can ya do?” For those of you who do not know what the “Chicken Dance” is, please watch the following video. If you DO know what it is, this video is a clip from the 2003 East Coast Polka Championship Chicken Dance Finals. That’s right. I said Chicken Dance Finals. As in a contest. For Chicken Dancing. If you skipped the video, watch it now. hahahahah Anyway, I digress. If you have read…

I Heart My Shoes*
As you know, I am a bridesmaid in Peeah’s upcoming wedding. So that means… …NEW SHOES! (and new dress. haha) I haven’t splurged and bought new fun shoes in a very long time. I actually saw them months and months ago when I went shopping for formal shoes with Dee. I picked them out for her because I thought they were fun, but unfortunately they were too expensive for my student budget. …until now. :) Two weekends ago the Hubster and I went for a stroll through a mall. There were shoe stores in this mall. I like shoe stores. I like to browse in them. And occasionally, I shop…

Time Flies*
When K tells me it’s time to blog again, I know it’s time. I can’t believe it’s been almost a full week since I’ve written–I don’t think I’ve gone that long without at least posting SOMETHING in a very long time. Well let me catch you up on what has been keeping me so busy! Last weekend I told you that we were up at the Hubster’s parent’s home to celebrate his mom’s birthday! We went on a marvelous adventure out to St. Jacob’s, a tiny town and the home of a group of Mennonite followers. It was beautiful… I definitely want to go back and spend a full day…

Seven Steps to Healthier Living and Getting in Shape*
Laps Run: 3.5Laps Oprah Walked: 2.5 I know I’ve been talking about this a lot lately, but I’ve actually had a number of people talk to me about my new attempt at exercise and healthy eating. So I thought I’d post a few tips / tricks / ideas that helped me get started. 1. Inspiration.Before I could really make a commitment to exercise I needed a good kick in the pants. When I went home in the spring I realized that I was the only member of my family that didn’t exercise on a regular basis. Big Dad is an avid tennis player and hits the gym almost even morning.…

Run Run Run*
This week I was pretty much a super star. I ran three days, and at least walked a fair bit the other days. I also increased my laps on the track–I can now go for 6 (3 running, 3 Oprah Walking). It feels really good. I can feel myself getting stronger each time I go! I can’t wait to have legs again. haha!! I’m at the Hubster’s parents home right now. We came up for the weekend to celebrate his mom’s birthday! I think we’re going on a road trip adventure tomorrow (depending on the weather). I’m excited. We always find these cool little places while we’re here. Anyway, I’ll…
