I Was Runnin'

Here's how it looked when I left my front door this morning:

We decided to run anyway--Crazy!

The Winter Games

Tonight Katelyn asked if I would buy her a "Russian" four-man bobsled for her birthday. Later, she asked if I would buy her skis. We were really enjoying watching the Olympics, but I decided to put her to bed before she could ask me for a pair of speed skates!

Congrats to all the athletes!

M-I-C-K-E-Y

Why do pancakes taste better when they are Mickey-shaped? My mom used to make these by pouring two little circles for ears and a big circle for the face. We found a fancy pancake stencil at the World of Disney store. They turn out perfect every time! Yum!

Park Day

I So Dearly Love to Laugh!

Last month at girls night, I realized I was the second oldest in the whole group. I'm used to being the youngest. It felt weird.

Last night I read a facebook post. In college, I had been the girl's piano teacher until I moved away. Her post read "I am 18 today." So why did it make ME feel old?

Tonight I looked in the mirror. I noticed fine lines forming under my eyes (*gasp).

I didn't freak out. I came to terms.

Why? Because they are the kind of wrinkles you get from smiling and laughing a lot. I see no shame in that, so I will consider these the "good kind" and try my best to wear them well.

Age equals experience. Experience is good.
