Arbitrariness (Cuz I'm Tired of the Word 'Random')

Me and Baby Toots

We got snow. The entire eastern seaboard got snow from Virginia on up. I love snow. I do not love snow to run in after it has all settled on the ground. Which is to say, running in snow as it is falling is much, much better and way more fun. Running, or more succinctly, trying to run in the snow once it has already blanketed the ground and then been plowed and trampled upon and turned into a slushy mess, not so fun. However, more interesting than the dreadmill. I might cower from a bike ride in freezing temps, but I will run in just about anything so long as I am not on the 'mill, but I was beaten like a dog on Sunday by the elements, or at least what they left behind.

Speaking of fun, nothing is more fun than sledding in the park after a king-sized snowfall. I ran to Payless in the AM to get the last pair of snowboots in my son's size, my husband ran to the hardware store for a sled and we met up at one of the sledding hills.

Sledding!

Baby Toots was beside himself, "I want to go down 11 times!" Such a random number, but we were happy to oblige. I miss being a kid, and having a kid allows me to act like one and do kid stuff (need I remind you of Halloween?). What a great time! Next up, pancakes! Ok, not for me, although close; multi-grain waffles with plain yogurt, blueberries, strawberries and walnuts (of which I am not a huge fan) and NO SYRUP and yet, somehow, very tasty.

Next up are some random things that I think are funny, like bacon gift wrap

This nice review I saw on Swimoutlet.com
