Something awesome.
First of all, let me apologize for the totally lame effort at posting yesterday. While the bowl schedule is useful to have at my fingertips (without cluttering up my bookmarks with links that will be obsolete in a month), I should not have been so lazy.
Actually, I planned to post a video of the Stella scooter I'm hoping to purchase this year, but I got distracted in my search by other videos of scooter crashes, panda attacks, and people farting. Isn't youtube a fascinating meeting place of all things base and disturbing (and therefore grossly funny)? (Update: more Stella news and even more. Guess what color I want.)
Anyhow, last night, we finally initiated our Christmas shopping. Pop and T had the kids, so we were free to shop for Halleigh, and we got some other gift ideas for the sibs, which made the search a little easier.
We kept running into a problem though: what would we get Beau that Halleigh doesn't already have. I mean, we can get him some clothes, but we kept seeing toys that are already available at home. Blocks? Got some. Shape-sorter? Got it. Bath toys? Got those too. Books? Sooo many. etc. etc. etc. We can always buy new and different varieties, but it's hard to find stuff that isn't really similar to what we already have.
Have other parents of multiple kids run into the same issue?
On Saturday, I am running in a 5K. It will be the first race I've run in since college. When I started running again last February, I could barely run a mile without stopping to walk. I was 30 pounds overweight and in the worst shape of my life.
Now, I'm still 20 pounds overweight and I'll probably run the course 10-15 minutes slower than I would have in high school or college. But it feels good to have a purpose or destination to work toward.
On another note, Durham's annual Freeze Your Balls Off Scooter Rally is quickly approaching. I liked the images from last year's rally. Maybe, if I run well enough, I'll celebrate by buying a scooter in time for the rally, and then I'll never have to run again!
No really, I do like running.
Jimmy Clarkson, a UK journalist, has a review of a Vespa that Brooklynne and Elizabeth will love. And maybe Burly too, although I think he's breaking down after moving in almost next door to Pride of Cleveland Scooters. (Via 2SB.)
An Israeli Scooter Stamp (via 2SB).
Can anyone read what it says?
Via 2SB.
This is what I call a sidecar. The official name of this model is El Coucho. Via 2SB.
