How do people have time for this.....

I follow several really cool blogs.  What I want to know is how do they do it?  Honestly there must be a whole generation of women out there who don't sleep at night.  Maybe I'm selling myself short.  I could post several pictures of my latest "projects".  BUT I'm positive that pictures of Wal-Mart check out lines, messy garages and never ending laundry piles won't appeal to masses.  They don't appeal to me and they're mine.   

Since I'm writing this blog for posterity, I have made a decision.  I am going to be actively joyful for the life the Lord has given me.  This will be hard for me as I am a sarcastic individual.  I'm also married, have three kids, and am involved is sixty activities.  The Lord works in mysterious ways.  Hopefully, along the way I'll get to post pictures of all the crazy crafty things I have floating in my head, but on the days I can't.....Well, there's always something one of my crazy kids did!

After that introduction, I ran 5 miles and didn't die!!  Thank you, Lord!  Two of my friends and I are training for a marathon.  I'm still trying to come up with a cute name for our little group but obviously all my functioning brain cells left my body the minute I considered running a marathon.  We've been at it for several months (haven't lost a pound!) and I've been bad at getting my mid-week runs in.  Made todays' with the help of my cheerful partner.  Sometimes I wonder how someone so nice could hang out with me.  Yea girls!   Thank you Lord for good friends and the ablility to put one foot in front of the other.

Blogging by accident...

I just created a blog.  All I really wanted to do was enter a cool give away on a blog (Design Dump) I found this morning.  If I'm truley being honest with myself I've been thinking about this for a while.  Not because I think that I have a ton of talent to write or express myself but because I'm extremely forgetful.  So why not have a record of what's going on in and around my life.  In twenty years it could be useful for a few good laughs.  So into the fray I go.....
