My oldest son tonight told me "Mom, you know the one Harry Potter movie that I don't want to see again?" "Um, No. What is it?" "Prisoner of Azkaban." "Why is that?" "Because it is too scary"
Meanwhile, we were watching "Transformers: Dark Side of the Moon."
Apparently the things he is scared of doesn't include robots based on cartoons...

Unsatisfying
You know when you are craving something to eat and when you finally do, it isn't as satisfying as it should have been? I hate that. Okay, so part of it is that I am trying to eat better to prep for the 1/2 marathon next month, so I am not eating the most satisfying part.
I went to make egg salad for lunch. Used 2 eggs, 1 tbsp of olive oil mayo and a tsp of mustard. No bread or crackers, just a fork. I finished and went "crap, that was it!?" So I ate an apple, which of course did nothing for my craving for bread. The funny part is that I am not actually doing a South Beach / Atkins kind of diet, but I am afraid that if I do a little that I might go overboard.
Hopefully it will get better in a few days and I will look and feel better by Sept 22nd. I know that I am not going to be able to run the whole thing, but if I can give it 110%, then I will be satisfied with my progress, no matter how little.

I am Wonder Woman!
At least that's what some of my employees tell me.... LOL. So this weekend I felt like I was, and even my panties said that I was! My husband and I did the Warrior Dash together this weekend, and while we didn't have a stellar race time, we had a blast doing it.
Yep, that's us, jumping over fire! I loved it and had the best time! It is pretty cool too that the day is like a giant party. Not a party where you have to socialize with everyone, but great music, booths with cool swag or food/beer, people watching, dog watching, contests, and places for the kids to play. We also decided to stay up there in Dillon over night because the kids love staying in a hotel.
We brought up our own photographer, so we got some of the best pictures! Our friend Josh was talking with James Friday night and mentioned that he wanted to come up and take pictures. We figured that it would suck for him to drive up there and pay the $20 for parking, so he went up with us and then slept on the fold out couch in our hotel room. We always have a great time with him, so it was great that he came up. He is going to run the race with us next year too!
We all dressed alike - yeah, cheesy, I know. We did it because I wanted to be able to keep track of him and him me just in case we got lost in the crowd. We chose yellow because it is bright, it's easy to find each other, and it's James' favorite color. The bonus for me was that I could wear my CU colors and I painted my nails gold/yellow to match, which is always fun. The bigger bonus was that since we were the only ones in our wave in bright yellow, it was easy for Josh to keep track of us to take pictures. All my boys look so great in that color too!!! :)
We signed up for the Warrior Dash with James' co-worker/friend Duane and his 15 year old son Jake. They killed it! Duane's wife Angela watched our kids while we were doing the race because she had her 9 yr old son there as well. She is so sweet with the kids, and it was great spending time with their whole family. They stayed at the same hotel as us, so we went to dinner after we checked in and got cleaned up, and then the boys played in the pool before bed. I think it's funny that they match and we match in the picture above....
We really enjoyed the whole experience and look forward to doing it again next year. I loved the obstacles, and despite being a girly-girl, I totally got a kick out of getting muddy. James already has a couple of friends that want to do it with us next year, and I am hoping that one of my girl friends will be down to get dirty as well! (unintended innuendo ;P ) Ahhh, better work on running hills!

Sammich - TMI
My husband and I have found some of the pictures posted to Facebook about "Women should be in the kitchen making a man a sandwich" hilarious.
So, this morning, after a little intimate time (wink wink), he was getting ready to get up to get in the shower. I realized that I needed to make my youngest a sandwich for his lunch, and I innocently turned over and asked "Would you like me to make you a sandwich?" I was totally serious, and he turned to me and busted out laughing. I thought for a split second and realized what he was laughing at. We both started cracking up laughing.
Really???? ;)
