Snow.... and Ice....

I did it !!! I made my 8 hours, not at the gym however, I didnt end up rollerskating, I wogged 5.25 miles, It wasnt so bad, I had Emily and Robin, wogging along side of me.. It was great.. Then we went out for mexican food... :) I had the healthy stuff... the only bad thing was the fresh tortilla chips and the fresh made at your table guacamole.. which was yummy by the way.. Oh and 2 bites off of my Valentine raspberry cheesecake cupcake.. :) take that low carbers.... Im still losing weight, and eating what I want in moderation... woohooo.. I have resigned myself to knowing that the gym will always be a part of my life , My scandinavian heritage is proof that it will always be a battle..

Speaking of Scandinavian - We are not alone.. lol... With help from my auntie Sandy, we have learned where the Scutvicks settled in Washington, when they became Scutvicks ( we were Larsens first) My great-great grandfather was one of the founders of Bellingham.. ( I always wondered what the pull was for me to settle up here) In fact I have a great aunt that lives 2 miles down the road from me in Snohomish.. The Scutvicks are thick up in these parts.. So we are making a pilgrimage to the family plot in bellingham and pay our respects to our forfathers and mothers.. I didnt get the opportunity to hear about my family from my grandfathers knee, with stories of yore.. So this is huge.. Always thought that my grandfather was alone in the world, because the only scutvicks I knew were my mother and my aunt. There is even a Scutvick lane in Bellingham!!!! More to come.. I am going to send a letter to my great aunt down the road from me. I am actually putting in roots, ( which lets face it.. Is a big deal for me..)

Oh yeah, the gym didnt happen this morning, I was sooooo sore I couldnt move to save my life at 5 am..

as tiger says.. tata for now..
