Idle Hands

My kitchen windows are streak-free. And you can see probably too accurate a reflection in my bathroom mirrors. The laundry has been folded and my closet is clean. There are clean sheets on the bed. The floor has been vacuumed (though that is a very temporary fix because we have a dog who sheds a ton. I don't blame her, really. She's wearing a thick black coat and it's getting hot).

See what happens when I start to get my energy back but still am not working out more than once a day? Maybe I can blame this on Moana and her long naps.

In good news, I just finished scrubbing the soap scum out of my bathtub. This is good because I'm sure I'll be spending plenty of time in there this summer icing down my legs after all those tough training days. Ahhh, a mama can dream... But seriously, that was really needed. It was getting gross.

Moana finally woke up and wanted to add to her thoughts to this the post. Verbatim.

Yes, Moana, I agree.

So I have been doing a morning workout each day this week... just easy swimming or running so far. I've had to swim alone because Nalani's got some lame excuse about why she's not attending this week... Something about a wedding... I'm cutting her some temporary slack since she's the one who will be wearing white on Saturday.

I went to her bridal shower last night. It was really fun- she's got so many aunties who just love her. So cute to watch them doting over her... Luckily, Nalani's future husband understands and supports her love for triathlon, because walking down the aisle on Saturday, Nalani will be sporting a sunburned tatoo'd version of her race number. Good thing those numbers were neatly stamped on.

awww. Good luck and best wishes Nalani! I remember a similar post a few months ago, I think for your taper. I wish I could have you come scrub my floors and clean my house!

That's pretty funny about your friends reverse tattoo on her wedding day. She's hardcore. And what a great husband for being cool with it.

Want to come and clean my apartment? Ummm, actually I don't have a baby, and didn't just finish a 70.3 so really I don't have an excuse as to why my apartment isn't clean! :o)

Moana's verbatim actually makes more sense than most people! :)

Idle hands, indeed!

Best wishes to the happy couple!

That's funny about the tat for the wedding day.

I hope I feel like you after Eagleman. I feel like I am doing 10 things at once and none of them involve cleaning our house. It's getting bad.
