Yesterday we went to Wisconsin to file our taxes. We had a nice lunch at Betty Jane's apartment and then did our taxes.  After that we went to my mom's friend, Anna Onstad's Surprised 90th birthday party. It was nice to see some old faces. 

Combos Half Marathon in Albany, Georgia State #34

The weather was perfect to start. Got warm towards the end. It wasn’t a great race for me but I survived. You’ll never guess what we got at the finish line…more Combos!

This was in our swag bag. (Except Girl Scouts cookies, I bought those from a smart kid selling cookies at the expo.)

Ray Charles at the finish.

As usual, January and February have been very busy at work. My life has been work and sleep for 6 days and then on the 7th day...well I didn't rest!  I have a half marathon race in two weeks! It was really nice a couple weeks ago so we did 8 miles outside. But then we went back into the deep freeze. I did 10 miles on the treadmill last Sunday. Today was supposed to be 10 again but I struggled. I ran 2 miles but my skin was so itchy from (I assume) chlorine from swimming that I had to stop. I took a quick shower and slathered on lotion and jumped back on the treadmill for 4 more miles.  I got very hot and my back was still itchy so I ran in my sports bra (shocking!) and I took a selfie to prove it. I like this angle...makes me look thin. hahahahaha!

So 6 miles in total this morning. After 4pm Mass, Eric and I went to the community center track where I walked another mile and did some weightlifting. It was very dead in the weight room. I need to got there more often on Sunday night. 

Also the last couple weeks...

We got two different snow storms that brought us about 2-3 inches each time. Nothing exciting but I got use my snowblower again. I love blowing snow!

Reba and Finn are doing great, they are living the high life. Maybe too high...Finn weighs over 13 pounds and I'm pretty sure the vet will not be happy.  I tried putting her on a diet by reducing hard food but it isn't working. We recently had pizza and Finn decided to stop us from eating. "if I'm on a diet, HOOMAN, so are you!"

Reba has been her usual cute self. I love her fangled tooth. Not sure when she lost her lower canine tooth but ever since the upper tooth peeks out.

Brynne Play Date

DJ, Elizabeth and Brynne came up for a playdate yesterday. She decided she was going to work for me. She really loves "working." She also showed us her dance moves. We eventually went to IKEA. She found the perfect chair for herself.  And we stopped for some Swedish meatballs. The line was crazy!  We did a walked through the 'as is' section and found Elizabeth the perfect chair. Unfortunately it didn't fit in the car with all of us so I got hangout at IKEA for an hour while Eric ran everybody home and came back with the SUV to bring the chair to our house. It was a successfully trip.
