Deordorant

We went shopping on Saturday. Justin bought deodorant. The funniest deodorant I've ever seen. There were four different kinds and they all had different names and different sayings on the back. It made me laugh it was so weird.

Here's what they said.....

Swagger:

Swagger transforms

unfresh men into

legends of confidence.

Showtime:

Showtime helps shy

armpits feel fresh

and famous.

After Hours:

From drag racing to pillow fights,

the most awesome things

happen at night.

Aqua Reef:

Aqua Reef gives armpits

that fresh Caribbean

feeling it craves.

Um.....what!? So very strange!

Shrinking

Do you know how it
feels to be shrinking?
Withering away into
nothing
more than a memory?
You need to put one foot
in front of the other,
but
running in place
is all you can do.
How do you overcome
pain
when it's something
you breathe, a blast
of hot exhaust
in your
face, something turned
you must eat, or starve?
How do you search for
tomorrow
when you're mired
in an endless today?

Today

I am going away for a while
But I'll be back, don't try and follow me
'Cause I'll return as soon as possible
See I'm trying to find my place
But it might not be here where I feel safe
We all learn to make mistakes

And run
From them, from them
With no direction
We'll run from them, from them
With no conviction

'Cause I'm just one of those ghosts
Traveling endlessly
Don't need no roads
In fact they follow me

And we just go in circles

Well Now I'm told that this is life
And pain is just a simple compromise
So we can get what we want out of it
Would someone care to classify,
Of broken hearts and twisted minds
So I can find someone to rely on

And run
To them, to them
Full speed ahead
Oh you are not, Useless
We are just

Misguided ghosts
Traveling endlessly
The ones we trusted the most
Pushed us far away
And there's no one road
We should not be the same
But I'm just a ghost
And still they echo me

They echo me in circles

M.A.C.

I can't believe it's been three years. You are missed!

My little professor

I ♥ him!

Exercise

I started exercising a week ago. I've had some pretty sore muscles since then. Normally I'm a bit of a chocoholic, but since I started exercising I haven't been craving sweets at all. It's really a switch for me. Some people will frown on this I'm sure, but I've actually lost 4 lbs. this week.
I've been going out and running at night. I LOVE running! I think it's so therapeutic. I hope to get into better shape and maybe even run a marathon one of these days.

Smarty pants

I am amazed so often at how smart my kids are. Orin made a new character on a game the kids play. He named it by himself and he told me the name was "eat my sock". When I received an email confirming that he had made a character it had the name in the email. The name of his character was "Etmysok". I was so impressed! I couldn't believe that he had sounded it out so well. What a smarty!
