Me, Too.

I'm going to go ahead and copy three of my blog friends and say that I don't have ANYTHING to blog about. Sorry. It's been pretty uneventful here at the Graham house. We had rain for 4 days straight. Our grass is emerald green and so pretty. It's supposed to rain tomorrow-Friday again.

I am getting ready to take Caroline to preschool and then Roy Austin and I are going to run a few errands and then go on a big walk/run. I've recently taken up running, which I NEVER thought I would do. Don't expect me to be running any races any time soon. I do it purely for exercise, not because I enjoy it. I do, however, enjoy the feeling after I am finished. Speaking of....I received an Ipod from Jane and Franklin for my birthday and I need to download some good workout songs. You know, songs with a good beat. Any ideas? Angela and Teecy, I know you will send some good suggestions this way.

My favorite Dancing With the Stars contestants this season are Melissa and Shawn. I didn't like Melissa on the Bachelor at all, but once she got dumped on national TV, I became an instant fan. I used to see her as annoying...now she's so cute! I hope she wins. And Shawn the gymnast is so cute, too. I didn't like her outfit last night, but she's still cute. I'm still not a fan of Edyta. Can she ever wear a full costume and not do that one signature move she insists on putting in every routine? I also can't stand that Gilles guy who dances with Cheryl. Call me crazy, but how can you be considered a "star" when you were in ONE movie and the only thing you did was be naked?! That's crazy.

Oh, Caroline is now wearing panties to bed each night and waking up dry. I was nervous the other night because she went to bed at 7 (after having no nap) and woke up at 7:20 the next morning! That's a long time to go without tinkling, but she did it! Her reward for waking up with dry panties has been a blue peep. Healthy, huh? She just walked in the kitchen and put her bowl in the sink and said "Mommy, I love you!". I love when she says this randomly!

Well, I have to go get Roy Austin up and fed and then get out the door to Wee School. Happy Tuesday:)

Such a nice, regular, talky blog post this morning. Hope you continue to have a very nice day. Tell Caroline that Grammy loves her!!!

Denise said...

My blog life has been bland too!

I am so proud of you for running! I really want to love it! Maybe when I finish BFing??? Dreaming!

DWTS--I cannot get into!

Peeps are funny. Everytime I hear that word or see a peep I think of sweet Jenius!

Love you my sweet peep!

jane said...

Your mom is right....We love Caroline and Roy Boy. Give them a kiss from their grandmothers...Have a great day.

Janis Reber said...

Peeps....every time I hear the word peeps, I think of my brother, Don. He told me one time, after I told him that I love to get my peeps hard before I eat them...that his little grandson calls his "you know what" his peep!! Sorry, Shelly!! You'll probably be reading this sooner or later!! It's just too funny, though.

Janis Reber said...

Amen to that, Jane!!

Donna, I will TOTALLY hook you up with some good running music. I'll send you a list of my playlist songs. In fact, better yet, I'll make you a couple of cd's and send them to you (maybe as a be-lated b-day gift...sorry I missed that). Then you can download them onto your ipod. Good for you for taking up running. I LOVE to run/walk in my neighborhood. It's a stress relief for me.

Mrs. Reber, I do the same thing with my peeps...to me, they're just not good unless they've gotten hard and a little chewy. You know how they have peeps for EVERY season now? Pumpkin peeps, Christmas tree peeps??? What is that? I stick to the traditional Easter yellow peeps. Otherwise I would get tired of them.

Whew, for not having much going on Donna, I sure made a long comment out of it! ha! :)

What a great post. Things have been bland here too. I think due to the focus on triples and the rainy weather. I think it is great that you have taken up jogging. I really want to love it, but don't. Good for you for running with RA - what a workout to push a jogging stroller and run.

I am nervous about tomorrow - are you?

Cissie said...

Donna, your running! Only the weirdos actually Love running! LOL Most of us just do it for the feeling afterwards.

Now for some good tunes, you might laugh, but when it comes to running you need something fun and you just can't deny these girls. Britney Spears, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Fergie.

DWTS-Im a Melissa fan and a Ty Murray, he has come such a long way, and it is so out of his element!

Momofgirls said...

I am with Cissie on the Ty Murray thing..he is just so A dor a ble!!! What a sweet, humble guy he is! I like those sweet southern good ol boys! (cause I have one!!!!)

Yippee for panty girl! Peeps? ick! Whatever works, though!

Have you seen the "Bunny S'mores"? I will try to make one and post a picture... it is a canning jar with pastel M&M's, peeps and graham cracker crumbs in it, you tie a recipe on the jar to make "Bunny Peeps" So cute (I wonder if they taste good??)

Kristi Smalley said...

Good for you for running. MS took the old running legs away from me but if you keep at it, you will start loving it. I used to be a runner. I started it at LU b/c I had to run for PE. I hated it for months but at some point, it became a MUST for my day. You will drop weight like crazy.

DWTS is not very thrilling to me this year. Honestly, I am not rooting for Melissa. I didn't watch the Bachelor so I don't have sympathy for her but she took dance lessons and was a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader. She had some major training in dance and choreography. I root more for the Ty's and the people who have no experience who learn and improve every week. I am SOOO ready for the big-boobed playmate to go home as well as the computer nerd.

Chrystal said...

Running?? All right! Now I'll have a partner once this baby comes and I get back to it! :)

Kristi said...

Isn't it funny that even when we think we don't have much going on (which is never true) there is still so much going on in our minds! Thanks for the Dancing With the Stars commentary. I don't watch it but now will have something to say next time a friend brings it up!

Angela Richardson said...

On another note about DWTS...do you notice in the dance practice sessions the cute little dance outfits these girls are wearing? It's like there's an entire industry of dance apparel. They look so cute. It motivates me. I watch them (as I'm eating my ice cream!:)

Dolly said...

I just realized I never commented on this one and I ALWAYS comment. Hummmmm, what can I say that nobody else has already said? I want to know why you would be nervous about tomorrow. Are you and Caroline Bell doing zumba together or something?

Oh and Denise, you can run while bfeeding. Just wear two bras...one nursing bra and one sports bra. It realllllly does the trick!

Tiger Dave said...

Wow, for a post where you "don't have ANYTHING to blog about," you sure generated a lot of comments!

I just wanted to comment on the running - you really should consider signing up for a 5K race sometime this summer. I was never a big fan of running either, until one year I decided to enter a race. Suddenly my runs went from being "just exercise" to "training". I can't promise you'll start loving it, but it might help a little.

Donna said...

I did do a 4K a few years back, but I did do a lot of walking in it. I pushed Caroline in the jogger. At least I can say that I did a race once in my life:) I honestly have NO desire to run any races.
