Random Bits

It's been a few weeks since we've shared some random tidbits, so what better time to catch up.  It's been another busy week here in our household.  So many little projects started and too many to patiently waiting their turn!  I hope to share with you some of my new creations soon. 

4 weeks of training until I tackle my next half marathon.  Training began in January and I am I feeling pretty confident and pleased with my results so far.  I crossed the 18km hurdle this weekend in a great time (even though I should be running slow).  I like to challenge myself every chance I get.  I actually ran from one town to another!  Sounds like kilometers away (18 in fact), but quite proud of my accomplishment.  Looking forward to beating my PB on race day.
For the last month or so I have been desperately trying to find some nice slipcovers for our family room furniture.  Finally, after three orders (from Sears) later, I give up.  Nothing seems to fits properly.  The lipstick red sofa set will have to stay until it's in the budget to replace.  However, I did happen to come across some really pretty area rugs at Home Depot this week.  I found this really nice "botanical like" print rug with red hues that I think will compliment the furniture while still being able to incorporate ivory, blue and green into my palette.  I will have to wait for a sale as they run up to $499 ...eek!


Congrats to Avery for completing another successful session of gymnastics!  Our little angel has been involved with this club since she was two years old (record scratch.....where on earth has this time gone!)  I am so proud of her and the great progress she has made!  We look forward to conquering level four in the fall.


Today my hubby and I had a shopping date!  We crossed over to the other side of the pond to look for some deals. While it was nice to get away, we came home with less bags than I anticipated :(  I was hoping for some big deals, but maybe next time.  One purchase that I am excited about was my new paint gun.  We found a really great deal on a starter gun and I can't wait to paint my first project.  
 
Enjoy your weekend!
