Something Homemade and Crafty......

You may have seen this on other blogs - you sign up to receive something homemade and crafty, and then you pay it forward by doing the same thing for 3 people who sign up to do it on your blog.

So here’s how it works:

1. Be one of the first 3 people to leave a comment on this post and I will send you a handmade gift.

2. You get to pay it forward as well by doing the same thing for 3 people on your blog.

3. Once you leave a comment telling me that you want to participate, you need to make a pay it forward post on your blog.


I can't promise I'll get it to you quickly because of work and other things.... but I'll sure try!!

... I need to update ...

I told Ben that I absolutely HAD to check my blog before I go run (for the triathlon that I'm doing with the majority of people who read this blog....) so obviously, I'm going to procrastinate that as long as possible!

Here's a quick...er, long... list of updates:

Ben is playing on 3 soccer teams (1, 2, 3...Th-u-ree!), a CRAZY good football team (there are 2 ex-BYU football players (ex meaning last season) and 2 semi-pros), basketball team, wallyball team (although he doesn't want me to tell anyone... oops), and an ultimate frisbee that gets together every Tuesday. I'm doing basketball again (yes, we are trying to defend our Championship... and yes, I did capitalize that), wallyball, and 2 soccer teams (upper division.... yikes). You'd think I was in shape or something....

Teaching at Montessori is going great. It's a lot to get used to because everything there is SUPER organized but I love it. Good news: I got a raise a week after starting there and was offered a salary position in the afternoon!! Job hunting is finally over. Basically, I get paid hourly during the morning because I'm still training with the Miss A but since I'm the head teacher in the afternoon from now on, I get paid on a salary!

I got braces.

.... oh wait, what? Yeah, I got braces a few weeks ago. I was so worried when they were put on because they didn't hurt at all! I wanted to call the ortho and let him know that I thought they were broken.... Anyways, he says my teeth are actually pretty good. I only need braces for 1 1/2 years. No expanders, spacers, rubber bands, head gear... none of that really fun stuff.

Training for the triathlon.... not happening really. Ugh. Let's be honest, I don't want to do it... BUT at the same time I do want to. Sorta. Oh well. With a month left to train, I at least know that I can do all the events.... whether or not I'll be dead last is still up to debate.

Funny story: I was telling Ben about the shirts that Ashley is making for the triathlon. (cuz if anything, I'm going to do this tri just for the free t-shirts)

Trina: The logo that we are putting on it says "Just Tri" with an "i" instead of a "y"
Ben (totally oblivious): Oh... is that because it costs extra for more letters or something?
Trina: Umm.........

The end.

Haha, actually, Ben got it after a minute.... or two.

Anyways, maybe it was a had to be there kind of thing. Whatever. I've wasted enough time. I'm going to go run a few miles.... or go watch CSI...

I could go do this:

Do this.....

GAH!
