The Po Show

Toughie

My brother, the one who had a massive stroke and almost died two and a half years ago, walked a half-marathon last Sunday. 13.1 miles. 3 hours, 48 minutes. He finished.

Words fail me, to express how awesome I think that is.

Speechless

Recently I've found myself without anything to say. How weird is that?

I guess my life has just been one whirlwind of shopping, and that's hardly worth blogging about. I'm happy with my purchases, and I didn't do as much of the insane buy-rebuy-return original purchase thing that I did last year. I quite honestly do not know how many orders I placed with Amazon, but it's definitely over 15. All with free shipping, so that's cool.

I've also spent a lot of money on non-holiday gifts, which is not so cool. Just too many good deals to be had, like Tessa needs any more freaking clothes! I swear, if I didn't know that I could make most of the money back later via eBay, I'd check myself in to rehab. I've also bought quite a lot of Gymboree for resale, again just because the sales have been so incredibly good. Plus I've earned a boatload of Gymbucks, which I can use to buy more stuff next month to sell, and actually make some real profit. It's kind of bad, how I've gotten my eBay high back. Like the smoker who bums a cig at a party, I got a taste and now I'm back :p.

Um, the weather's cold. We had a little snow, but nothing that lasted. It would have been nice for the cold to hold off for another week, till we left for CA, but it's not like it's not going to be cold when we get back. The squirrels around here are HUGE, bulked up in preparation for a hard winter, I'm afraid. They look like little bears, and rather than constantly scurrying around in their frantic squirrel way, I see them just sitting and eating most of the time. And digging a million caches, which also strikes me as a bad sign of future frigidity.

We leave for CA a week from tomorrow! Woohoo!! I guess that's all I really need to say.
