it's a wrap

... not a rap.  I think I tried that once on the blog, it was quite bad.

This was a pretty good week.  I recently read a tip in a book, regarding journaling.  The tip was to not think, "what happened?" but rather to think "what happened that was good?".  It noted that many of us typically focus on the bad stuff, the fails and/or embarrassing things, etc. So, okay, putting on my rose colored glasses...

Honestly, it was a pretty good week.  Busy, but not too.  The weather was very springlike - except for that sloppy snow storm - and I'm reveling in the sunshine.

On a related note, my lame-o foot has been feeling increasingly better since I went to that foot chiropractor.  I've started doing short bits of running.  It feels quite awkward since it's been a good five months since I've done any appreciable runs.  Really, this is what I feel like...


The running parts are a bit rusty.  But it's not like I haven't been doing any other forms of exercise in the interim...


Whatever.  I'll take what I can get.  In other news, Meego's hair has about doubled in length from last week - which isn't saying a whole lot.  He still feels the breeze on his head rather than through his hair.  I haven't heard any updates on the latest total amount earned for bald 4 bucks, but the event was another great success.

We wrapped up another fiscal PEO year, then started the next one about a second later.  They've elected me president for another term, which wasn't a big surprise, but it's nice to get the vote of confidence, a.k.a. acknowledgement that no one else particularly wants to do it.  

We snapped a pic of the new officers for the newsletter, then realized that one of us was missing because she was out sick, so we'll have to wait until next time for a more "official" officer pic.  But I kinda get a kick out of this one with the man-on-the wall photobomb.


In other other news, a friend who is single and childless and teaches high school (so has summers off) is looking for a travel companion for an exotic trip to China in a few months.  It's sounds amazing, but I don't know if I can quite pull that off for my needed adventure.  Fun to think about, though!

If you could pull China off that would be pretty awesome! Busy weeks that go pretty smoothly are always welcome!
Happy Monday and here is to another decent week!

Oh, go to China! How many people can say they've done that? Well, I suppose all the Chinese people, but other than them? Nice photo. Just PhotoShop that other person in.

"... all the Chinese people..." - HA!
I'm totally thinking photoshop the veep in, over man-on-the-wall.

On one hand, the China trip would be really self-indulgent. On the other, it's China!

I have been to a lot of places, but I have not been to China. How cool would that be?!
Glad to hear you're back to running again, even if a bit clumsily. It won't take long before you're back to your usual half marathon self.
And great picture of you ladies! I agree with the others, photoshop her in. The man-on-the-wall is saving her spot.

I do hope to make it to China - if not this go 'round, eventually!

You look great in this picture.

Love the images! I imagined you moving like them and got a little giggle.
Continued best wishes with the P.E.O. Your leadership skills are paying off and will benefit you even more down the road. Right? :) Leave the photo-bomber in. Maybe he's the P.E.O. angel watching over you all.
China!? Start planning as if you're going. Who knows? It may not be as far-fetched as you might think.

Aw, thanks Ginny :)

I really do feel like that basset hound... or she feels like me.
