I just don't have much to say! Not much happening here and yet I feel like I am going in 20 different directions at once. Next week will be worse with conferences. I will be wishing for the boringness of this week. There was a little funny thing I wanted to remember to post about so I don't forget it....
Mike and I are trying to get rid of some excess weight. It hasn't been fun, but both of us have been on the treadmill each night, every night. It's a real great time excruciating and we are loving it (yeah, right). I made Mike drag our treadmill (which is the size of a small airplane. Seriously. Mike almost died moving it) out into our downstairs living room, in front of the big TV. I begged him to get me Tivo and now I have no more excuses about why I am not using this machine. So each day after school I spend time with The View and Regis and Kelly. We are BFFs.
Connor would ALWAYS hang out downstairs whenever one of us was on the treadmill. We never thought anything about it. Then about a week ago he started asking, "Are you going to get on the treadmill?" "When are you getting on the treadmill?" "Did you do the treadmill yet?"
Odd.
Mike RUNS on the treadmill, uphill, and over mountains. Me....well, let's just say I don't. Connor really likes to be downstairs when Mike is on the treadmill. There have been a couple of times when Connor has tried to join Mike on the treadmill. Yeah, not such a great cause-and-effect lesson for Connor.
Finally I asked Connor why he always wanted to be around when we were on the treadmill. Did he like to see the river of sweat falling off of us? Did he like to see his mother's jelly jiggle? Did he like to watch the fire come from our faces? What was it?!?!
The sound.
He likes the sound the treadmill makes.
What?!
On to topic number 2....Brett Favre.
The Vikings walked all over the Cowboys last Sunday. It was such a great game! Favre bet Percy Harvin if the Vikings won, he would sing the "pants on the ground" song.
I just love it. It's been so fun to watch this team win. Saints will meet their demise this Sunday and then it's Super Bowl!! (Did I ever tell you the story about walking into the lounge a couple of years ago at work and seeing that a co-worker had lovingly decorated the lounge to get us into the spirit of the big game with a sign that read SUPER BOWEL?)
Oh Happy day!

Keep on sweating girl! You look great and I wish I had your energy and will to get on my treadmill! Go Vikes!
Good for you to use the treadmill each day! :-)
I love the video of Favre - cracks me up! Jordyn likes it too. I'll have to see if we can get a video of her dancing in her Favre jersey to the song.
Good luck with conferences. Ours in our two weeks. They are student led though, so I don't feel like I have too much preparing to do.
Enjoy the rest of your week!
I was so excited to see you had the video of Farve doing Pants on the Ground. Went to play it and it was removed. Bummer.
I am the same as you...not much going on but never a dull moment.
Keep up th egood work on the treadmill! How wonderful you are doing it every single night! That is dedication.
I wish we lived closer too. Thank you for all your support this week!! Love you lots!
