CAT SNOOOOORT.

really cute.

i saw i missed your call today, and i wanted to tell you it was because i was in the middle of practicing my new hairdo: the crown of braid, which i learned on the internet and tim doesn't like, but i really do because i can't actually DO my hair any other way. i do not have a topsy tail, although grampa mische made me his version of a topsy tail---electrical wiring topped off with a glue bottle cap. jealous? ask aaron, i'm sure he can give you the details.

WELL. my new goal is running three days a week! and i've succeeded for two weeks in a row. pretty great? also, tim and i are still playing racquet ball, which is really fun and i think he let me win our last set. but he still laughs at how i try to incorporate the defensive shuffle into my game, and how sometimes when i try to run out of the path of the ball, i run directly in front of the ball. ha ha ha, isn't it funny? also, last time we played i hit my own legs with my racquet. okay, i'm laughing out loud now, cause that was really funny.

how are YOU? archie's tummy time looks like it's paying off. is the acid reflux stuff going away? how is your running going? how is aaron the baron doing?

we love you guys very much, and i've already made it a goal to get out there again this fall. and you know what that means. IT'S A GOAL!

okay, so really, i have been on the south beach diet for about 10 days, and then on friday i was like, i can't eat any more vegetables or lean portions of meat! i'm going to go crazy! so on saturday i had pizza and greek yogurt (call the cops), and today i had brunch with friends and got something called the sweet n' salty pancake platter, which involved pancakes with bacon bits. NO COMPLAINTS. but i also accidentally had about five cups of coffee.

10 HOURS AGO. and i'm still pulsing with caffeine.

okay, forcing myself to go to bed now.

tim is home! he was out jazzing it up.

ruuuuuuth

p.s. i'm going to post this on my blog as my first up date of the year. i think it pretty much encapsulates, you know, ME. on caffeine. at midnight.
