...Friday night I'm driving to dinner when my phone rings. It's my mother-in-law so I answer. Here's our convo:
Me: Hi Star!
Star: Hey, are you alone?
Me: (heart sinks) Yeah...why?
Star: Like are you alone where you can tell me your bra size?
WHAT!?! She was helping this lady who loved to shop and had some really nice bras with tags still on them. She seemed a bit disappointed when I told her my bra size (how embarrassing!) as she said, "OH, these are DD..." Not sure how to take that...thanks for thinking I'm bigger than I am? I really wanted to say, "Oh no but I'm sure your son would enjoy that!" I refrained. Is it odd that this really didn't phase me?

Twice as Nice...
...and double the trouble! Our friends, Jeff and Josie, had their twin girls on Thursday, April 15 (tax day!!!). Miss Sophie Marie arrived first and her little sister Ryleigh Jo arrived about 8-10 minutes later. Everyone is doing great!
We headed up on Saturday to visit and when we arrived around 5:45ish with McDonald's in hand (their request), the Cards game was in the 11th inning. I kept thinking we'll leave when the game is over, well...at 8pm and bottom of the 16th we decided it was time to go (FYI Cards lost in the 20th inning 2-1).
Here is the proud momma and daddy with their girls (surprisingly the girls look nothing alike), picture is missing big brothers Cody and Nick. Yes, that means FOUR children and yes, both these two are under 30!!!
Here I am with the girls, Ryleigh on my right and Sophie on my left. Jeff asked after about 20 minutes if he needed to take one of them, I said nah, at this age they don't move too much so I was soaking in my baby time. A few minutes later though, my arm did go numb and Matt rescued me by taking Sophie.
Matt with both the girls. Suprisingly, he wasn't a freak this time like the past couple times we went to visit babies in the hospital. I think maybe because the girls' dad is one of his good friends so he figured if Jeff's doing it, I sure can!
They head home on Monday so we'll be checking in on them and helping out however we can. I know we're planning on taking the boys a couple nights just to get them out of their hair. Twins are so exciting but I'm sure they'll be a lot of work! Congrats Jeff, Josie, Cody and Nick and welcome Sophie and Ryleigh!!!

Random Friday...
...surprisingly, I haven't done a random post in awhile so here goes!
*Finishing up week 5 of my half training, things are getting easier and hardier at the same time. After one official month of training, the aches and pains are finally setting in. My shins have been killing me this week, thankfully only when I run and my right hip/right buttocks is KILLING me!!! Ugh...I've stretched and stretched and stretched and no relief. I'm going to try a foam roller later today.
*Monday night, I had an awesome 7 mile run (and then all the above aches and pains started). Matt and I went to Fleet Feet to buy me some new running shoes. You know for running to be a sport that requires just you moving your legs and running, all the stuff you can buy for it really adds up! So far I've only spent money on the new shoes and race fees. Anyways, since Matt has to be as cool as me and I set the bar high, he *had* to get a new pair of shoes too-you know for that one 5K a year he runs in. *insert eye roll* I don't know about your husbands but my husband likes to think he knows EVERYTHING about ANYTHING and in actuality, he doesn't. The lady at the store was really nice and didn't call him out on anything even when he told her he currently ran in Sketchers (FYI-he doesn't and I had to explain to him what Sketchers were), he wanted to run the 5K in 20 minutes (umm...yeah right!) and then listen to me maybe freak out when he spelled my name wrong (really? almost two years of marriage, going on 4 years together and you STILL can't spell my name right!?!). Anyways, it made for a good office story the next day. Adie and I have been calling them Matt's princess shoes.
*Wednesday, I got in my car to go to work and my car wouldn't reverse. Yeah...turns out it's something in my transmission so now my car's in the shop for a week and I'm having to foot a $3,000 car bill. Really? If it's not one thing with our cars, it's another! Matt told me that night that he was proud of me for not freaking out about it. OH! And Linda (best man's mom and our good friend) is letting me borrow her Sebring convertible while my car is in the shop! SWEET!!! Top down ladies and I'm cruisin' the town! Funny, Matt and I carpooled for over a month and the one week my car's in the shop, we both work this weekend, opposite hours and since his truck is a manual, carpooling/sharing isn't an option.
*Wednesday after we dropped my car off, I missed my walking date with Sarah so I decided to go for a run around the neighborhood (bad run from the bad day not to mention hips and shins screaming at me). I was sitting in the backyard pulling on my shoes talking to Matt while both dogs were in my face asking if they could go with me. I look down at Shadow's belly and freak out, "AH!!! There's a giant tick on him!!!" Shad and I walk down to the garden and he rolls on his back for us to look at it, I look again, "Oops! Sorry, it's just his nipple." My bad!
Okay, hope everyone has a great weekend! I'll be working all weekend so feel free to drop me an email or leave me a comment to keep me entertained. Tonight is a hot date with my sis and niece...H and I have to sneak off to make her Mother's Day gift! If we finish it, I'll post about it next week. Bye!

I'm A Real Runner Now...
...yep, check that out! I'm a proud momma of my huge, gigantic blister because it's a sign that I'm a real runner (and that I need better socks!!!). I know you're all jealous but you really shouldn't be. I already subjected you to this gross nasty picture (sorry for the chipped toenail polish) so I won't tell you about the self surgery I performed on it!

The Great Golf Outing...
...so the Saturday before Easter, my dad, Matt and I went to play golf. Matt has never played, I haven't played since before Matt...3-4 years ago and my dad hadn't played since the fall. Let's just say after the horrible first hole, we all agreed to NOT keep score.
Here is Mattie and I at the golf course, don't we look like professionals? HA! We fooled you!!!
Here is me trying to focus, I found out that the more pissed off I was, the better I did.
Here's my daddy teeing off. We shared a cart and it was nice to have some time with him.
Sometimes the boys took too long teeing off so I played with the camera, here's a pretty pic I took.
Mattie teeing off.
Okay, so Randall, do NOT tell this story to Nick-I'll be soooo embarassed! So as we're getting started, my dad and I are explaining to Matt about the different irons. Keep in mind, it's been a few years since I played! I pull out my S club and I say, "Dad, when would I use my S club?" He looks at it and answers, "When you're in the sand." Me,"Oh, I thought it was my starter club or something." They gave me so much trouble about that for the next 9 holes it wasn't even funny! It was a good time but made me realize how horribly bad I'm going to embarrass myself at the golf tournament in May! Oh well, it's for a good cause, right?
