Life's been busy



Since the last post, where I just came back from New York, leaving behind a few of my favorite redheads...

I went to ItalyWhere I ate this almost daily...


And added some weight to a particular finger...



started wedding planning (I'm not sure a more fabulous cake exists)...

became a temporary single parent to 2 crazy little sisters for 2.5 weeks (shown here with a cousin)...

went to California for a friend's wedding...

Ditched the kids and came back to Seattle. Now that I have a chance to catch my bearings, I'm thinking...
HOLY CRAP! Triathlon is 20 days away! I've been training (not quite as rigorously) but am I ready? Mmm...no! I did my first open water training swim (hooray!) I realized about half way through, where I looked beneath me and just saw dark water, that I'm afraid of open water swimming. This made me swim more quickly to get it over with. Yikes. We'll see how things go August 16!
(What am I doing the days before the triathlon? Resting up? Getting one last work out in? Focusing on eating right? NO! I'll be hanging out with Mom and the FMIL doing wedding planning, and taking engagement pics. Me = a little crazy.)
