Bugs attacking. Sweat rolling. People laughing. Baskets swaying. Dust flying. Car bouncing. Peach fuzz sticking. Competition threatening. Bartons winning. Peaches piling. People eating. Peach juice rolling. Family loving!

Attack!
How have I not shared my encounter with the bird?
Lately, when jogging by our corner convenience store, which, by the way, I swear off every time I go in. Why do I swear it off? Because the convenience store got with The Man and decided to not post prices on any of the goods for sale in the store. Well, I'm assuming its all for sale, but who could really tell with no pricing? They have a "policy" that you may not charge anything under $2 on your credit card. My natural inclination is to pick up the cheapest nearby object and waste more money just to hit the $2 mark - a great strategy if anything had pricing! Half the time I pick something that ends up being $3+ and then they win. I suggested they just add the amount to my tab that would total up to $2, but they weren't going to be tricked into that. Just to get even I've started not buying items that don't hit the mark by abandoning my transaction at the register. Nicely, of course. They want to play games with me? BOOM
So, back to lately. Lately they have hired a bird to dive-bomb my head as I jog by on the sidewalk. This relentless bird swoops down from the electric line when you least expect it, and also right as you meet a biking fool who takes great joy in watching/laughing as you freak out like a spaz, screaming and flailing your arms.
No matter how traumatized I am by the attack, I seem to forget to not go that way and it happens all over again.
And again.
No matter the time of day.
'til next time!

What Doesn't Kill You....
Almost kills you.
I'm trying to get back into running...try being the operative word. With 95% humidity and hotter than I would prefer temperatures to deal with, I feel like an insane person upon venturing out for a run. I have to figure something out, though. I have committed and signed up for the Run for Adoption in October and will be signing up for another half in late November or early December.
WHAT AM I THINKING?
I will try to conjure up some interesting posts between now and my scheduled death.
Until then...

Lifetime Supply of GUM TOOTHBRUSHES!
I feel frightened because my husband speaks of a certain toothbrush with love and adoration, describing it as an "intimate tool." GUM toothbrushes are good, maybe I don't care as much as I should about oral hygiene, but it just seemed like a regular old toothbrush to me.
I'm frightened that tomorrow I'm going to get a delivery of a lifetime supply of GUM toothbrushes....apparently local retailers don't carry these amazing tooth cleaners. An order is being placed for this very household as I type.
Don't think I wouldn't use half of the lifetime supply. (Maybe they are slightly better than other brands.)
I have to go brush my teeth now. And floss.....now that I've been thinking about tooth care for 15+ minutes.
Cheers! To clean teeth.

Boom Shakalaka
Here are a few tidbits/state of the Sanchez update:
Still watching Grey's all afternoon.
Still remembering that I am thankful for the job I've been provided that allows me to work from home and see my beautiful baby girl grow and learn so much every day. Do you realize that the line between regular blogging and work blogging blurs completely because of this? Am I working or blogging? No one is sure.
Still staring in wonder at baby girl, who from this point forward shall be referred to as BG, as her big blue eyes stare back with complete trust and unconditional love (she is the best thing we have ever done).
Still trying to straighten my arms out without pain in my elbow pits because I'm so sore from doing the 30 day shred, even though that workout is so two years ago. This in combination with running is brutal. But in a good way.
Still photo-documenting BG's every move excessively. Seriously. It's quite excessive. I have 1300 pictures stored on my iPhone.
Most importantly....I'm still wondering WHY my husband asked me how to spell "boom shakalaka."
PS - my amazing friends started an adoption blog and I really am still moved by their unfailing commitment to the Lord and his plan for their lives.
Cheers!

Making Room
Why are we so attached to stuff? I found myself looking around my house today looking for some things to donate to a garage sale to raise money for a mission trip, wondering how I acquired so much and why I feel the need to keep it all.
I piled up a whole dining room table full of this stuff and can't even tell a difference in my house. It made no dent. None. Ridiculous.
I am taking a brief blog break because I caught myself going to the attic to get everything-if it's up there WHY do I feel the need to keep all this crap?! (with the exception of Christmas decor, which is sacred and holy...that stays).
I recognize my other half will need to give his opinion before I tell them to take everything, even the dishes. But my goal is now to get rid of as much as possible....because I'm making room!! (for what....that's to be determined)
I'll keep you posted on the status of the purge of the meaningless sanchez junk. (WHY do we have 200 CDs...they are all on our iTunes.) (WHY do I have 7 curtain rods in the closet) (WHY do we have 45 coffee cups)
If its not nailed down...it's gone.
'til next time! (which may be a while. Chances of getting rid of the computer and cell phone are high right now!)

Return of the Mother
So, I've been MIA for a while, but I was just busy with my sweet baby girl who is now TWO MONTHS OLD. Two whole months. And I have loved every single moment of her little life. Seeing a tiny person with the best parts of you and your spouse makes life seem so simple and pure. I love it! I love being a mother. (especially because I can watch Grey's Anatomy for approximately 3 hours every day).
Also...I started running again. It's been rough. I currently have a love/hate relationship with running. It's mostly hate right now. Running needs to send me flowers and chocolates so we can make up. My goal is to get back together with running before November when I plan to run the DRC half, but we are talking to other people right now. I hope running doesn't get jealous of yoga....They can have each other when I swear off exercising all together.
I'm off to see just how much I can make a certain little girl smile and giggle.
Until next time!
