10 Things I love about my husband

Okay Amy wrote about things she loved about her husband so I thought I would give 10 things I love about my husband.
1. He will always share the food evenly with me even when it is something he really really likes.
2. He will do all the nasty yard work and doesn't ever ask me to help
3. He lets me spend lots of dollars on running shoes and never says a word.
4. He helps me carry in groceries without being asked
5. He washes dishes
6. He will make dinner if I give him a menu
7. He remains rational in the midst of my PMS and gently reminds me that I can't kill the people in Kmart for just being in the store the same time as me.
8. He can fix just about anything (which is good because I am forever breaking things)
9. He is a FANTASTIC grandpa
10. He will go all the way downstairs to bring me a drink of water so I don't have to get out of bed.

Updates:
Baby Adam: ROLLS OVER.

Workout: Precor today....not in the mood for treadmill. Pounded the heck out of the Precor...resistance 12...I am going to have thighs of iron which is good seeing as my true name is Kim the Iron Maiden.

Husband: Starting his own business...FINAL PUNCH...geared to home builders but also works for homeowners.....does an array of home repairs for individual home owners...for builders he does punch out and their warranty work. He sums up his job as "I don't build homes. I just make them better"

Christmas...tra la la is almost here and I am giddy with anticipation. I love to see my family open their gifts. I love that the kids get so excited they just can't sit still (Tyson and Abby). Use to be Amber too but she is now a patient young woman. I love waking up on Christmas morning and have a cup of coffee while cuddled up on the couch. ahhhhhh

Random Thought/Pondering: How many miles would I have to run to be able to eat an entire pecan pie?

I CAN'T SLEEP THEREFORE I CLEAN

1:30 A.M. and I was wide awake. What's a girl to do at 1:30 a.m? She mops floors, cleans toilets and scrubs out the bathtub. Now I am going to be a grump this afternoon! I actually got down on my hands and knees and peeled all the paint droplets off my bathroom floor (from the mess I made attempting to paint 4 years ago!) and I scrubbed my kitchen floor on my knees with bleach water and a scrub brush. I will not go into what I wore to scrub my floors but I will give you a hint....it was not pretty.

Workout: Going great! I did 3 miles of incline sprints on Tuesday, Swam on Wednesday,did 5 miles on Thursday and 2 miles and power hour yesterday. I also found if I lift before I run on Tuesday I can get my whole lift in. If I wait till after I run all my friends are in the weight room and the only thing that gets worked out is my yappy mouth. You might notice nothing is listed for Monday that is because I went into full Christmas meltdown. My cards were not addressed. I had unwrapped gifts laying about and I just panicked so I stayed home, addressed Christmas Cards and wrapped presents.

Christmas: My husband violated the honor system and LOOKED at my Master Christmas List! Granted it was laying out on the nightstand but that is what the honor system is for! He WROTE a note on my Master Christmas gift that he particularly liked one gift idea I had for him! I think the honor system is going to go....because when I told my daughter her father violated the honor system and looked at my Master Christmas List she says, "Mom we all look at your Master Christmas List" So now it will be put under lock and key or maybe I will invent a code so that no one can read it if in error it is left out.

Baby Adam: Baby Adam spent the night with Grandma last Saturday while his mom and dad went to a Christmas party. He slept the entire night! I thought I would not get much sleep keeping him...and I did not...not because he did not sleep....but because I kept checking on him thru the night because his sleeping so soundly it freaked me out. What a sweetie he was and he woke up all nice and happy and sat in his bouncy seat and kicked and kicked and kicked. I think he was very dissappointed when his dad picked him up before he could have bacon and eggs with grandma....mom just lets him eat rice cereal...poor boy.....

Christmas Ornaments: Saturday night Amber and Abby came over and we made Christmas ornaments and had pizza. Abby really likes to do projects and she is especially fond of glitter.

Well better go for now...will have more to say later....and post some pictures.

WARNING: CHRISTMAS COOKIE SHORTAGE IS EXPECTED. IT IS THE WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS AND ALL HOLDS ON CHRISTMAS COOKIE EATING IS LIFTED. BEWARE KIM QUEEN OF THE GLUTTON IS ON THE LOOSE.

Up Down and All around

I have been so busy I don't know whether I am coming or going. I have been slacking on working out since November and have decided I better kick it into high gear as the Mini is in May. I did a 5k last weekend. Time not so good but I had fun....35.22.
Updates:
Vandalism: My husband's car got picked again. This time they took the lug nuts off and when he was driving to work his tire fell off and rolled past him.....damage $250.00. So far we have one burnt down garage, 6 punctured tires and drum damage (from the tire coming off). The neighbor got his windshield busted out the other day. The kids that we believe our responsible (or their friends) will be moving by the 1st of January. Hopefully this will be the end of the vandalism.

5k: Was fun. Jeff, Leo, Mike, Kathyn and Jill did awesome. It was a first 5k for Tom and he did wonderful. I was so excited for him and his time was GREAT. It was so nice to have all the morning Y people there! We are like family. We have a few more wayward morning Y friends to convert so that we have the ENTIRE morning Y group there. Special mention: Russ makes a great Elf. This 5k was different I was not driven to break my old time. I don't know if I was tired(I cleaned my carpet before I went. I was up at 4:30 am to do that or was I tired from repeatedly checking on the well being of my car all night?At any rate I was all relaxed and just was having fun) You can check times at the Lafayette YMCA site. I would put the link in but I am to lazy to try to figure out how to put a link in my text. I guess that will be a I am bored in January thing.

Workout. I need to update my sidebar! I have been working out! Monday 3 miles with .25 mile sprints at 10 minute per mile speed. Okay that is not really a sprint but it is for Athena Goddess of Chub. Recovery .25 miles were spent walking or a slow jog (okay my slow jog is my normal run but you know what I mean). Yesterday 4.75 miles. First .25 walking, then first .75 at 4.6, then raised to 4.8 for around two miles held at 5.0 (I think that might be a little over a 11 minute mile) then the last 1/2 mile I took it up to 5.2. I know I need a workout makeover. Today is swimming which I am looking forward to as I am sore because we have been moving our office and I have been hoisting heavy boxes. Whoops time to go to the Y will post a couple of pictures for now from the reception. And this weekend will get some pictures of my most adorable grandchildren!
