Ugh, couldn’t you just scream at your in-laws sometimes? Mine make the same kind of comments and it drives me up the wall. Now I’m just “too busy” to be around them when they visit!

Question: how did you get started with your running routine? Did you start with a mile here and there or did you get some actual professional training? I’ve always wanted to run but I feel like I don’t do it properly; I go too fast and then get tired out quickly.

You know what Irish Alzheimer’s is, right?

You forget everything but the grudges.

Grudge-holding has been passed down from mother to daughter in my family, in an unbroken lineage of resentment and repression. If you ask us what’s wrong, you’re likely to get a tight-lipped “Nothing! I’m FINE.” But rest assured, we never, ever, ever forget.

Taking Notes: “undetectable toxins which can be applied to a coffee cup handle and absorbed through the skin”

Not that I’m out of ideas…but that was notable!

I believe I am also known as my husband’s “grievous error” from well-meaning but clueless in-laws who truly believe their son/grandson is the golden boy and I’m the “lucky girl” who landed him. I like to think the luck was a little big mutual (I mean, I’m not a total disaster!) but there’s no reasoning with Their Kind. It’s kind of nice to know I’m not the only one unfairly unappreciated by the in-laws…

As a fellow grudge holder, hey! I like those sneakers!

That last bit is a pretty kick-ass feeling, too, isn’t it? :)

Good on you for the running! I started the Couch-to-5K program in August and I run my first 5k in two weeks! I can’t believe it – I couldn’t run for 30 seconds in a row when I started!

On a unrelated note… saw that you can’t get into LOST. Start from season 1. That is the only way to enjoy it. My husband and I are BSG fans and think LOST is at the same category. Start from the beginning, you won’t regret it.

Totally unrelated to this post, but I was just reading some of your older posts and I think you need to go back and look at this one : http://www.sundrymourning.com/2008/08/20/awkard-phase-still-going-strong/

In the second photo down you have a HORSE CAKE!!!!! I think we know where Dylan’s love come from. Those brown blobs? HORSES!!!

You don’t know how funny I thought this was when I realized that is what they were. See? He comes by it honestly.
