Our Gay Neighbors

Our gay neighbors and smooshed between a very tradition country, Catholic family and a very devout Mormon family.  Recently they ignored our Kansas laws and ran away to Hawaii to get married.  So the day they came home we vandalized their house.

It seemed like the right thing to do.  I made the hearts, my more liberal catholic partner in crime made the sign. 

I don't agree with, support, or understand their life style but luckily it is not my job to judge them.  My job is to love my neighbor and I sure love having Ryan and Brandon as neighbors.



P.S. It will probably drive them nuts if they see that I posted a picture of their long grass.  So on their behalf please ignore the grass they were on vacation for two weeks. 

Amazon movie deals

Awesome Disney deals on Amazon.

Cinderella for only $14.69!

Tarzan for only $12.96!

And more.  Just go to Amazon and search Disney movies.  I love it when I come across great deals and just thought I would share!

A toddler's train of thought . . .

My husband is terrible at keeping a journal and isn't into blogger but wants to remember all of the cute things our kids do so he recently started a private google+ group where he could post thoughts, pictures, and videos.  I was looking through it and just had to share this conversation he had last month with our 3 year old daughter:

Eric Sargent

Discussion  -  Jul 11, 2013

Hanna has wanted some kid scissors so she could make something. I told her on Sunday that on monday i would buy her some. I forgot both monday and tuesday to get her some, ( which she promptly reminded me when I got home from work). Finally on wednesday I got her some. she was so excited that she immediately wanted to go craft (which we did) she took a blank piece of paper and cut all around the edges. Later that night while getting ready for bed this is the discussion that followed...

Daddy I only have little kid scissors, but when I get big I will have big kid scissors, I will also have a big bed with night stands, where I can climb up. I will also have kids and be a mommy so I can tickle 'em. But right now I only have little kid scissors....

INSANITY and Air Force Fitness

Started back up with INSANITY last night and I even got Eric to do it with me.  Three of my cousins, Emily, Gregg, and Scott, started yesterday too which is what helped motivate me, that and the fact that I have an Air Force Fit to Fight fitness test next month which I am totally not prepared for.  So there are five of us in total it should be interesting to see how we all do.

Here are my reps from the first INSANITY fit test used to track ones progress:

Switch Kicks       60
Power Jacks        47
Power Knees        80
Power Jumps        38
Globe Jumps        10
Suicide Jumps      15
Push-Up Jacks      25
Low Plank Oblique  35

I don't think Eric would appreciate me sharing his so I wont.  If you are doing this too just make sure you go a whole rep before you count it.  For example on the last one bring your left leg up and back down and then your right up and back down to complete one rep.

I think I did ok considering I have three kids and haven't worked out regularly since my last fitness test a year ago, on which I scored a 98 out of 100.  My goal this year was to get a 100 but that so isn't going to happen.  I always do well though so I'm not too worried.  The guys in my unit always give me a hard time saying a I score better because my standards aren't as high, true and I do agree with them that it should be the same standards regardless of sex.  However, that does not change the fact that I usually lap them on the track.  And even if I was scored on the guys chart I would have gotten a 92.2 last time which is still considered an excellent score.

Here is the link to the Air Force fitness scoring charts so you can see how you stack up.  You have to measure you waist just above your belly button to get your body composition.  The run in 1.5 miles which is 6 times around a standard high school track.  You have one minute to do as many push-ups as you can and one minute to complete as many sit-ups as you can.  On both the push-ups and sit-ups you start in the up position and count one rep when you return to the up position.  You can do the test in any order you want within a two hour window.  

Welcome!

Welcome to my little corner of the web!  I think I like this website name better and its meaning.  This is my corner, my space to put my thoughts and ideas out there.  And  . . . I just got a new computer!  A desk top with a REAL keyboard soooo much better for blogging than my ipad or phone ugh, or even worse my broken laptop with several missing keys.  So you can expect to hear from me much more! . . . Hopefully.  I haven't been very consistent with blogging in the past but I feel lately like I have a lot to say and many emotions to express and I haven't been writing in my journal for quiet some time either so I really need an outlet maybe this time it will stick.
