200 Year Old Woman!

I take my lunch to work and usually just eat at my desk and surf the web. Well, sometimes that gets a little old and I look for other things to do. I got this brilliant idea on Monday that I would just do some stairs during my lunch break to get a little excersize in and keep my energy level up! Not running them or anything, just walking up and down them. Well, I decided to start that day. Just before eating my lunch I changed into my tennis shoes and started walking up our stairs...I am on the 12th floor and I got to the 22nd and thought, this isn't too bad so I turned around and went back down to the 7th floor and went back up to mine. It was a pretty good workout and I felt good afterward. I was so proud of myself! Well, Tuesday morning I got up and my legs were pretty sore. I was kind of wobbling around all day and when I went to bed last night every time Peter would bump into one of my legs I would wake up. When I woke this morning it was so so SO much worse! I seriously have to wait a minute every time I get up out of my chair before I can move. I have to use my arms to support all my weight in order to even get up! :) (I am laughing while I am writing this b/c I just can't believe I did this to myself and it is so funny) I REALLY can't remember if I have ever been this sore. I don't think I ever have. Even after running like 12 miles (quite some years ago)! Anyway....the point of this story is basically to say that all day today I have been walking/wobbling around like a "200 year old woman." lol... Well, I guess this ended up being a not-so-Brilliant idea after all! :) I hope that my legs feel better soon so I get back to working out again.

My New Obsession...

Etsy.com

I love this website! If you have never been you should. Anyone can sell anything as long as it is Handmade! They have some of the greatest stuff. Here's our Bynum Family Monogram I purchased. I have also purchased lots of fabric for an apron, quilt, purse and some other fun crafty stuff. I also found a really cute pair of earrings! I love to just browse around on this site...I could spend hours!

Back to Blogging

I realize I have been MIA on here lately! I have just not been making time for it like I should :( Well, with that said, I have decided to get back on it! For Valentine's Day Peter gave me a new camera! I love to take pictures and our old digital was from 2003 and cost about $400 and is the size of our video camera! So I am very, VERY happy to have a new one! Thank you Peter <3 !This also means lots of new pictures to come =)
