  2. Yay for trail racing! Greenland is mellow and nice and close to home. Mmmmm, sugar cookies.... Yes, you do have the cutest yellow lab puppy except she's almost not a puppy anymore! As a runner, though, I wouldn't want bigger boobs. Having petite ones is A-OK. :-)

  6. Ooh, thanks for the tag, Christi! Now I have something to post while I wait for my training plan for the spring to shake itself out!!

    I *love* Star Wars too (not the "new" ones). You might like this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCjMGOvMghY We just let our kids watch Episode 4 for the first time two weeks ago.

    And I agree you should be happy with your chest. I like my little mosquito bite boobs. They became huge when I was nursing and I was so glad they shrank back down!

  7. I didn't know you were an NCIS fan. I am watching that now. Well not as I type this. I just finished season 2 where - - - - was killed (being secretive in case it matters to anyone???) was killed. Why? I liked all the interactions between the characters. My favorite character is = oh man his name is escaping me - the geek who went to MIT. Love the show.
