Crappy Blogger!

I've been crappy at social media and blogging, I know.

I quit baking bread around the world or posting about it, at least. And I've not written about any of the new things I've started doing. This will improve, I promise! (Not that many people actually read this, but hey, I like writing it, when I remember!) I do plan on continuing my baking project, but it's taken a back seat to some things. I did make homemade polish bagels for Poland, which I will post about, eventually.

I went to Florida with my guy and the kiddos.  I loved the ocean!

I started running again in April. I began with a running plan to take someone from running 0 minutes to running for 15 minutes. I tweaked it a little and taped it to the fridge. I started April 20. I signed up for the New Orleans Color Run to give myself good motivation. I'm cheap and knew that paying a race fee would light the proverbial fire.

It worked! I'm hooked on running. On October 20, I ran 4 miles and I decided I will eventually (Feb. 2014) run in a half marathon!

Christon and I went to see the Human Body exhibit at the Musuem of Discovery in Little Rock. If you haven't been to the Discovery Museum, you should go. I got to spend the afternoon with her and Nicole!

This semester I'm taking an E.M.T. class at Tech, for work. I'm really enjoying the class but the work load is kicking my butt! My final is December 10th. Which is actually the day that I'll get back from my week long work trip to Maryland that I've gotten super excited about. 


 I'm going to Arkadelphia as much as possible to try to get in shape for my black belt test. I'd like to try for it in May 2013 or December 2013. I've got a lot of work to do, but I finally feel like I can do it. I've only put it off for what? Two or three years?

I've lost 50 lbs so far this year! And got a new haircut that I'm pretty fond of.
 
So stay tuned! Photos of traveling & races, some soap, craft, and cooking projects, and the chance to make me run a race dressed as Xena are all coming up!
