Running away...

Did it again! Oh yeah, I just continue to lie and suck.

Ok, here is my lame excuse...but be prepared, it's lame.

I usually always blog late at night because that is when Tess is asleep and to write anything with her conscious is just not going to happen. A few weeks ago, after hitting a plateau on my continuing quest to Watch my Weight I started running. And I run when I used to blog because I can't, obviously, run with Tess and it's too hot during the day anyway. So I run at night. When I used to blog...and so the blog suffers.

I recieved a verbal lashing about this the other day so I am attempting to make amends. For right now, I am going to share some of my recent Toddler Adventures in photo form, as that is my usual method of attack. So! Here in rapid succession:

Fourth of July (actually the day before...it poured buckets on the 4th...I know because I went out and ran in it like the psycho that I am...)






Earlier this week I took Tess down the shore for the first time this year. We had about 1.3 hours of sunshine, then a lot of clouds and then driving rain. The rain really helped me develop my crane game skills and I managed to walk away with both a large Sponge Bob as well as a droopy faced dog for only $15.00 in quarters. I was super proud of Tess, she LOVED the beach, even when it started raining she didn't want to come in. We got nailed with a huge wave that went right over her head and she loved every second. She was also a champ on the carnival rides, most of which she had to brave solo because I was too big to go on.








I have to get back there because it was a bargain of a day (crane game aside), not to mention the fact that she passed out early and slept like a log that night. Good times.

Ok, so I have two pressing issues that I need to deal with, namely:

1. My birthday festivities.
2. Allison's blog, promised to Allison many moons ago.

And deal with them I will...but for now, it's lunch for me. I run all the time people, I need my strength!

(12 pounds left to my goal and my BMI is 23! Sweeeeeeet!)

Well, it's summer and people almost expect less during the summer months but you seem to be posting good stuff so don't sweat it. Unless it's really hot outside then you should be worried when you aren't sweating but I digress.

More power to you. I couldn't run around the block unless someone was chasing me.

Good luck with the running. Wish I could find that hobby fun. Great photos of tess. Can you believe that she is going on rides all by herself?

LOVE LOVE LOVE the 4th of July and beach pictures. Tess gets cuter and cuter everyday! I need to come and visit. We should do lunch one day since I work over in Rahway.
