Posting Comments

I just spent some time reading the Blogger Forum about the inablity to post on peoples blogs. I am so bummed about this because I am not able to enter a few giveaways!!!! YIKES! But I think my blog has been blocking people as well. So I took some advice and changed the setting on my own blog. I will be trying to post a comment once this is up but I would also like to hear from you all and see if you can post as well!!


P.S. I am so avoiding doing end of the year paper work to figure this out!!! LOL

construction continues....

Here are more pictures that are from all four days...I will have final pictures up soon.

Bri and Dud working hard by hand with no nail gun to put the flooring/ceiling in!

The view of the ceiling in the kitchen:)

The beautiful new floor!!! :)

The view from the kitchen when the floor was going in! Ella Beans was a little confused!

The new wall and doorway being put up!

The first wall completely finished! This also was the easiest wall out of all of them!

AHHHHHHHH

Yes I am screaming like crazy! Why? Well we did some crazy crazy stuff last night and I don't recommend anyone to do the same. When I got home from work around 4pm there was a hole in the wall! The ugly ugly window was laying on the ground!! There is no pictures of that bc it was embarrassing to look at! But I do have pictures of the hole in the wall!!

This is the view from the stairs.

Bri and Dud working on framing out the wall and sliding glass door.

Ta da!!! Mister, Manda, Dud, Bri and I risked our lives in thunder, lightning and fierce winds to get the sliding glass door up the ladders onto the deck. Oh am I sore today and exhausted! It was after 8pm again that we got dinner. I vacuumed several times to get all the YUCK out of the house before we start another day! We don't need to mention the Ickiness that was found in the walls but it def. explains the smell and all Bri's sneezing!!!

I am at school and everyone else took a sick day to finish getting the flooring ready! More pics to come!!

Rochester Marathon

Well I am starting to get everything put together for my training of the Rochester Marathon. I have it scheduled in my calender and finished making my training plan. I am going to follow a similar plan that I did for the Disney Marathon. I am going to do 3-5 mile runs during the week and then one cross training day. I will have Sunday's be my long run days while Bri sleeps the day away. My cross training is going to be biking to school for our summer reading events! That is 12miles I can get in!

Thursdays and some Saturdays will be my rest and enjoy the day type days! I am really looking forward to getting that started. I am going to spend June just getting stuff done around the house and taking in the summer. I will get into my true full training plan the last week of June.

I have several 5ks planned and a half marathon planned as well. They are all put into the schedule and my long runs are adjust around them. The weekend after my full there is a half marathon that runs right past my house. Hey Hey said suck it up and do it....well I will put it in the schedule and go from there. I know it was hard to run even 2 miles after Disney for a few days. I think I am sitting out on the four wheeler and spectating but ...we will see!

Now on to the fundraising aspect of things. I have raised money before for races but never handed it out further than family members. It is hard to ask for money or donations for some reason. I don't want people to feel obligated but it is for a good cause and it all goes directly to the foundation. I have a website that you can go to and donate. If your little awesome blogger hearts desire you can go visit it and maybe possible help me reach my goal!

Rochester Marathon Fundraiser Website

Let the Craziness begin!

First and foremost......MY CABLE IS BACK!! The guy came out put a new part on the dish and left. 15minutes total for 6days without cable! So Yes I watched Idol....Yes I voted for Scotty! I LOVE IDOL THIS YEAR!!!

So far this week I ran Monday an easy 3miles to see how my legs felt. My shins were burning a bit but I also was doing nothing but hills. I topped it off with the push up challenge and a night of finishing polying the floor boards. I took Tuesday off to wait for the cable guy and then get some staining done. Almost halfway through the wall boards:)

Today is oh take a guess.....yuppers another day of testing and I am praying the last day of testing. Only 7more days of school but a long long 5days ahead. Why?? Because we are starting to tare apart the upstairs today/tomorrow. YIKES!!!!

LET THE CRAZINESS BEGIN!!!!

Quick one

Everyone go check out Shut Up and Run for an awesome giveaway!!!

Another busy day!

A round of pictures of things that happened this weekend!




Painting of the ceiling all by my lonesome....but Bri had a great 24hours with the Wilson!

Polyurethaning the floor/ceiling for the upstairs.....to clarify..the one side is the floor and the other is the ceiling for the kitchen. I was doing the kitchen side for 3hours on Sunday.



Then I made my favorite dish of Shrimp Alfredo. This Is bri's plate!

My dish to help with serving size!





My last Monday of the school year!!!! Have lots of testing to do still this week. Hoping to get it done by Wednesday so we can start to clean this crazy room up!!

Running today!! Hoping for the best with my shins! :)


QOTD: What house work do you actually enjoy doing?
I love tearing things apart and starting new! Staining and painting are my jobs!
