Promtacular!

A few weeks back, I submitted the photo from my senior prom to a website called Promtacular.  Well, today they used it, and they love it.  The website owner wants it to be the website's masthead!  Insane.  Here's the link....enjoy.

Finally, finally the snow came.....unbeknownst to me and many of my Lake Washington School District area friends, the schools were closed yesterday.  There wasn't a flake, and normally they are out early on Wednesdays anyway..... sigh.  So we managed to survive the day, went and painted pottery, etc....lots of things to kill time!

Last night, however, we got about 6 inches of snow, and it is gorgeous and white out there today.  Of course, as a mom, I am not a fan of snow days.  Here is an example:  MOM!  IT SNOWED!  SCHOOL IS CANCELLED!  I WANT TO GO OUT AND PLAY!  Not yet, it is only 6:30 in the morning.  HOW ABOUT NOW? WHAT ABOUT NOW? NOW? CAN I CAN I CAN I?  WHERE ARE MY SNOW PANTS? WHERE ARE MY BOOTS? DO I NEED GLOVES? I CAN'T FIND MY SLED!  HELP ME PUT ON MY PANTSGLOVESLONGUNDERWEARSWEATERSOCKSCOATGLOVESHATBOOTS!  HURRY!  Ten minutes later.... I AM COLD AND GOING IN!  I WANT HOT CHOCOLATE! HELP ME TAKE OFF MY PANTSGLOVESLONGUNDERWEARSWEATERSOCKSCOATGLOVESHATBOOTS!  Then a friend calls to go sledding.  MOM!  HELP ME PUT ON MY PANTSGLOVESLONGUNDERWEARSWEATERSOCKSCOATGLOVESHATBOOTS!  Repeat nonstop all day long.

I, on the other hand, am trying to figure out how to work out today.  I love running in the snow, so will get out the YakTrax, as well as walk the snow-loving dog, and maybe, maybe head to the gym for a swim.  Why is it so easy to skip the swim?

Testing again

Life I am living today:  Triathlete.  Mom.  Wife.

"Faster than I look" sums up the way I perform in triathlons, cycling, running and most other sports. I am not a small girl, but a big, tall, muscular woman athlete who can put the hammer down and come up with some fast times. On the other hand, I know a LOT of people through my years with the LUNA Chix Triathlon team, as well as just being out there in the community making connections on a very regular basis. At least weekly, if not more often, I meet someone new and realize we have friends in common. I love sharing my love of sports, specifically triathlon and cycling.
I'm also a mom to two young boys, a wife, a sister, an aunt, a daughter...it goes on and on....and I am always busy!
