    omg. my girl & boy TO THE T. That could totally be my conversation. I just found your blog…I'm trying to get back into running after a 3 year hiatus.

      Isn't it funny! I'm glad you found my blog. I hope you will follow along as you get back into running. Fall is a great time to be outside on the running path. 🙂

    I rarely talked about classes with my parents – there was no need to. That has carried over to my working life as well, as I do not bring up the subject. "How's work?" "Good." "It's a job." "Could be worse." That's all they need to know.

    LOL! And to think, I can't get my one son to shut up. With each long & drawn out conversation, I'm inching ever so closer to jumping off a short bridge to silence the noise.

    HAHA, I laughed. Thanks for that!! He might be short, but she's over-thorough via text!

  8. That is too funny! I guess I can look forward to lots of exchanges like the second one since I have a son and a second boy on the way 🙂
