I have an Addiction

I believe we all have random things that we become slightly addicted to;

Here is my picto list of my ultimate must haves for today. We can talk about the depth of my addiction at a later date *cough* full kitchen cabinet dedicated to various teas*cough*

Matcha - I even have a preferred supplier - It eventually is delicious and is very good for you.

Tomato's - In absolutely every aspect, but especially fire/oven roasted.. There was a point in time that I would pop a tray of oven roasted tomato's in the oven as soon as i got back from dropping the kidlets off at school and they would be ready and waiting for lunch.

and one non food related one - Caturday on Fark.com.  Funny Cat pictures with captions on a weekly basis.. A small pleasure,  when you work two weeks away from home with a 12 hour day, days broken up by kittens can make everything OK. I actually have to ration it to one page per geological exercise

After all that today I will be running another virtual race. This one is from Moms Run This Town and is being done at the absolute last minute in our sauna like training room at the mine. Once again on Lunch but how else do you get a treadmill when there is only one for 400 people  :(  (I wish i knew how to make a slightly bitchy/annoyed emoticon)

Soon

I'm new at this

Trying to keep myself somewhat motivated to run while I am at work. So far bribing myself with cheddar and garlic red lobster look-a-like biscuits seems to be helping. By helping, I mean I have consumed so much butter that it would be a health danger not to run...

I might as well start from the beginning about me

I work in the mining industry.. I am a mom to two incredible little people. Sofia - who is six and the biggest gleek ever and her only slightly smaller brother Nole - who is five and very tolerant of his sister. Together they are a super storm of interesting, keeping me on my toes, asking questions and opening my eyes to new conversations I didn't think I'd ever have. I have had to make a rule that when painting animals you can not give them boobie eyes. This picture explains their whole relationship in a way I never could

More random details and running related stuff to come.. I am now off to hunt down a mile tracker for this things. Wish me luck
