Peach Cobbler

Okay class, get out your pencils. If you do not eat sugar for a month and then have a giant bowl of peach cobbler, you will feel sick and have a hangover the next day. The next day, if you do it AGAIN, you will still feel sick and have a hangover. Harrumph. Hey did I mention I have now lost 16 pounds? Wheeeeeee only 12 to go.

Jake and I did the 5K walk Saturday morning. We came up on the course and burst out laughing. It was exactly the course (except we also did the big hill at the very endthat was not part of the 5K) that we had just done and declared too boring and easy. If you chose the walk portion of the 5K you were not allowed to run which meant that I did it in 43 minutes - that is a 13 1/2 minute mile. Not bad, but I decided that I will run the next one (the Apple Festival 5K in Sept). Jake came in at 45 min. He was so mad at me that he literally stomped down the last leg with this furious face. The officials were laughing - I told them "I broke him this time, he won't talk to me for the rest of the day". He was mad right up until he took a first place medal for the age group 19 and under (he is 9). Guess who has decided to do the next 5K with me? Ahhh victory is sweet.

I got a new mower! My sad riding lawnmower that my Dad bought dies each time I use it and uses a can of fix a flat each time. Walmart was having a sale on riding lawnmowers - he called to tell me to go see. I thought, hmmm, I will humor him but I have not had the best of luck in the lawnmower department (I burned up my pushmower and an electric weedeater as well). I took one look and knew it was mine. I was RIGHT. This thing ROCKS. The only problem is that it isn't purple. But it is a sexy red and that will work. It mows up some hellacious inclines without even a blink. I asked it to marry me. Just kidding, Y'all know I am not the marrying kind.
