THE book

a pretty nice day. got home late last night and the gaffer didn't fall asleep until 9pm (ugh) and of course woke up with nightmares of 'flowers growing'. which was a lot better than the other night where he woke up to a 'crab got my toes' which took forever to calm him down. i eventually gave him a wooden spoon and said if the crab comes back to spank him and send him to time out. that seemed to pacify him.
went to a wedding this afternoon with S and it was really nice. the pastor was wickedawesome, and he spoke a lot about the love of Jesus being the most important. it was fantastic. then we kinda skipped dinner and went to mexi's for food. and talk. and what did the talk come down to? i've got to write THE book. i mean i'm thrilled with the progress of the kid's one, and i've got tons of ideas now, but i need to write THE book. it's time to get it out. maybe i can split write?
looking forward to tomorrow's 5km 'do it for dad' race. should be good. gotta beat 32 minutes.

32 minutes for 5km??? That's heaps of time! When I was in the army our fitness test was 5km run (plus situps and pushups) and we only had 27 minutes to run it in!

You can do it, easy peasy!!!!

what is "split writing"?

Jennifer said...

yah, ok, but you were working out how much? i ain't a runner girl!

split writing: where i write in one genre one day, and another in another day. (def. by j)

Melinda said...

I am NOT a runner either!!! Give me weights any day! I used to scrape in around the 25 minute mark on minimal training beforehand.

Jennifer said...

well, i'm sorry to say, miss awesome fast runner, that the race today was a sad 33 minutes. i completely ran out of fuel...better luck in october...

Melinda said...

Oh well, you tried! And you did come pretty close to the 32 minutes you set yourself! Hope your legs are still working....

Jennifer said...

It's not age, just overuse! Ouch!
