WTF?!
so last weekend paul got a cold...not really a cold...just a sore throat, stuffy nose but not a full on cold. well, i kissed him. i tried not to, but out of habit, i forgot and kissed him. so now i have a scratchy throat. and i have a half marathon to run on saturday. it's called the slackers half marathon. i've been training for 3 months and i'm so excited to be doing this. i have already run a marathon, but because we are trying to make a baby, i don't want to sign up, put in the training and then the week before the marathon find out that i'm pregnant. i know, i know, i could still run it if i've been running up to that point BUT for those of you who have never had a miscarriage i'll explain: if anything happens, you always think it's your fault. so even if i got pregnant with a baby with 4 heads and no legs and it miscarried because of it's own genetic weirdness, i would still question myself that it was my fault for continuing to run. and then i would imagine myself with a 4 headed, no legged baby and how much i would have loved it and all of its 4 heads. so...all this vent to say i'm as excited about this half marathon as i would be about a full marathon because for now, it's all i can get. and because i've done all of this training on my own, no running group or support...all me. so if i still have a scratchy throat and i'm miserable stuffy nosed i'm going to be pissed. not at paul, persay, just pissed because i really want to run a good race. i'm hoping for faster than 2:00:20 because that was my time of my last half marathon. that was a couple years ago when i was training for my full marathon. i'll keep you posted.
ok-and one last thing. sweet little tatum tutu pie has been regressing in her potty training. and we are working on her having more self discipline. for instance, when we see other dogs out she goes CRAZY on the end of her leash jumping and swirling and tangling all of us in a heap of uncomfortable i-don't-know-you-well-enough-to-be-this-close-to-you weirdness. so we are working on "settle" and we are also freaking out like the ceiling is falling in when she pees on the carpet so that she knows it's a big deal that she is peeing with a roof over her head.

I pretty excited that you are trying for a baby. I had no idea. And I'm sorry you had a miscarriage. I have no idea what that is like to go through.
