I really need 2 spend more time on the 'puter!

Like i need a hole in my head. For some reason I'm thinkin i need to be doing this to be involved in the others that i am...involved with. Like, i have a profile, but no blog. Hmmm. So, here i am. Recently SOMEONE got me into facebook. WOW. Time CONSUMING! So, i'm not planning 2B a regular blogger again. for the time-wasting reason. My kids, hubby, home need me more than mr. inanimate computer does. I know from experience that blogging can take on a life of it's own! (When i was training for marathon--ouch!)

So be it. No longer am i "Mom on the Run" but now i'm "in the desert?" That is cuz for 4 months now Adelaide and I have been walking in the desert in the early morns! It is the best thing ever! Around the same time i became clean and sober having given up DIET PEPSI. Wow! What a habit. 20+ years. Back to things of this world: the desert walks are wonderful. Adelaide is our year old St. Bernard/border collie mix. I'll post pics. She is THE BEST DOG EVER! We're in a bit of a valley right now as she just getting spayed and has a bit of a leg problem i can't figure out. So, FOR THE MOMENT, I'm walking w/o her. She is not liking that! When i get ready, she does too. When i go to the door, she comes too. Today I had the girls take her upstairs to sidetrack her whilst i walked out. I just had to do it. I'm too much of a pushover and i keep taking her on little walks...i really think the best thing for her is to just lay around (she is GREAT at that!) for another week or so. It's sad but she'll live. I hope.

Yes, it was 32 degrees or something this a.m. But, you know, FLEECE is the greatest thing since ... I dunno...since ipod shuffles and garmins! With my fleece, i only need a long-sleeved shirt underneath! I do wear mittens these days. But don't even need the scarf w/ the fleece! Yes, have the garmin, the mp3, & usually the warm headband thingy...but even that gets itchy 1/2way thru walk. yuk. Isn't that great? I just love fleeces. I've been wearing mine ragged but just tonite i went into the upstairs closet and LO & BEHOLD there were THREE (count 'em) fleeces that i'd forgotten about! I think d.h.'s and 2 from a friend's garage sale stuff. Wow! They just have to have pockets for mp3 & phone. oh, and doggie treats!

We meet up w/ friends from 'the other side of the desert' and their dogs: lab, lab/border collie mix, and spottie border collie/ um...australian shep mix? or heeler mix? I dunno. GREAT dogs, tho. Adelaide loves them to death. They all look for each other until we meet up! So cute! Only problem is, sure-footed Adelaide (keep in mind she's only JUST a year) is not so nimble when carousing w/ her friends! Thus the hurt leg. She just MISSES bumps in the path, sage brush BUSHES, hills, holes, etc. I think she must've wrenched some joint when playing w/ Bo 2 wks ago... It's been slow to heal. Silly gal. That is why i HAVE to keep her laying low. For now.

Well, you're still reading so you must not be too bored. I know i am! I cried today, reading a blog about adoption. The link is on the fratetrain blog ... maybe i'll get a link on here if i figure out how...and if it doesn't take me 2 wash cycles to figure it out! So, anyway, my piddly blog is silly in comparison. I mean, i think they have 11 living at home...don't know how many are adopted. But special needs galore and adopting 2-3 more this year! wowsa! blessed! amazing! So, i don't wanna write piddly stuff. I think i'll stop now.

Don't know what i'll use this for but here it is! =) God bless!!!
