Why do I Blog?

Life is so fast & furious with 3 young children, working from home, ect that I fear I will forget the lovely details of my girls' precious childhood.

My main motivation for blogging is to capture the every day moments...so I don't forget them before I have a chance to scrapbook. Sharing with you is just an added bonus. Keeping this blog has helped me get the photos off my camera's memory card and label/organize them on my laptop. It is the BEST tool I have for scrapbooking. I haven't ever been able to keep a journal, but this I can do. I don't pretend to have anything interesting to say. In fact I'm sure this little blog is boring to you, but to me it is priceless!

9 Day two

Yes, I made it to day #2 on the treadmill! Yesterday I did 20 min (1.1 miles) and today I did 30 min (1.7 miles). Before you start thinking too highly of me, that is NOT running but a brisk walk. My goal is to go everyday, but Sunday, for two weeks. I'll have to try to walk outside while on the scrap retreat next weekend. Oh, I can hardly wait. I've got to get photos edited, uploaded, & printed!

As long as I'm on a high note, let me brag. I washed ALL my upstairs windows, inside & outside yesterday! Once again, don't go thinking 'wow'...this is the first time I've ever done them. I've always had the excuse that the neighbors don't have their yards in (dirt sticks to the wet windows after ever rain), but now that the last one planted grass this month, I couldn't put it off any longer. Now I've let the cat out of the bag: I hate to run & I'm a pathetic housekeeper. But if you are my friend, you probably already knew all that & haven't run screaming...yet ;).

I'm impressed. Our treadmill is downstairs, buried in dust from all the work we have been doing. I feel like a cow, so I need to join you!

I've been putting off going back to the gym for 2 months. The summer sabatical has been over for weeks. Just when I thought it was safe to go back, Grandpa got sick and I've spent all my free time with him. Great excuse, isn't it? I'll go with you at Bear Lake if you wait for me.

You're doing better then me! Clean windows, what is that! I tell everyone I like my light to be filtered first! If you ever need a pick me up about how your house looks come to mine. You'll feel great afterwards! I seriously am thinking of buying the doormat I saw that says, "My house was clean last week, sorry you missed it!" Ha, ha!

Oh yeah, I wanted to tell you that only Walmart will take the Polly coupon now. I went everywhere today and nobody else seems to take them anymore because they don't have a barcode!

Beattie Family said...

Thanks for the cue about walmart taking the coupon. And way to go Sarah for day number 2!!!! I've also been trying so hard to watch what I eat. My brilliant diet plan has been to try and not eat any sweets before lunch. and then bump it up until dinner. but the halloween candy has been a killer. it may cheaper earlier, but it will always get eaten first. So walk, walk, walk, you can do it!!!

I am not good at that! hanne I liked your quote!! I've been reading Twilight the last few days, I can't put it down to do my housework, it will have to wait! Anyone reading it or have read it? It is sooo good!!

Hanne and Fam said...
