slow dancing on the boulevard / in the quiet moments while the citys still dark
in this past week and a half, i've gotten back on the exercise wagon. It started with just a walk for me, aiden, and the puppy. We went 3.5 miles with none of us worse for the wear. The puppy's luxing petella seemed to hold up, though I don't want to push my luck, so she only joins us every other time. This works out as I've incorporated any shopping I need to do during my walks. Monday I wented to the new whole foods as part of my route. Yesterday I went to the Jewl. The bottom of the stroller makes a convinent cart. This has resulted in me not moving my car in a week. A nice up side to walking is a reduced carbon footprint.
The down side to the walking is that it is boring. I just can't walk the whole 3+ miles. I've begun to jog slowly. (Like i was a fast jogger before!) I am suppose to wait 2 more weeks, but I don't think my slow jog really counts as vigorous exercise. My stroller, though not a jogger stroller, does quite week on the running path.
All in all it is nice to get out and exercise. Aiden naps for the most part. The downside is that I really get nothing done the rest of the day. During what would pass as his afternoon nap, I nap. Then Ben gets home around four (it is awesome his teacher schedule), so then I do get to do the little things like work on birth announcements or my t-shirt quilt or dinner or dessert (currently, i am loving oatmeal raisin cookies. they have fiber and a fruit so the are good for you (ha ha)).
we had our first of what i know will be many calls to my mom about breaking the baby. this weekend it was a crusty eye which was heal by 24 hours of warm wash cloths & eye massage to heal a blocked tear duct. Really, we would go crazy if my mom wasn't available to assure me that we didn't break the baby...

I loved the Cubs hat in the birth announcement. And is that Ben in the photo? Cause I totally have that Communist Party t-shirt too.
