Hello all! Sorry I didn't post on Friday, we had to take an unexpected trip up above Atlanta to visit Joe's grandmother in the hospital. They're not sure what's wrong with her yet, but it's pretty serious (fluid around her lungs, weak heart, etc). So, my results from last week are that I ran twice and did the video once...I drank almost all water until this weekend in which I had a couple of sodas, bad me.
I'll keep the same goals from last week...
and ask for some extra prayers that the doctors will at least figure out what is wrong with 'Grandma Stansel'.
Hope everyone is doing great out there!

Flower Power Progress!
Some of you may already know that Mary Ann has been teaching me floral design for a few weeks now! (ps she should be a part of this blog!) I have really been enjoying it! I wanted to post some of my creations so far! Some of these were created with Mary Ann on hand guiding me along and others were completely on my own... can you tell the difference???
Anyway, I still have a long way to go but I feel really good about what I've learned so far!!!

Jenn's HM-Week 9
- I ran 12.75 miles this week...It was Joe's birthday this week so it seemed like we were being taken out to eat all week long! I'm not trying to complain about that, but my running suffered:(
- I didn't get to the video, so I need to try harder with that.
- I did drink almost all water...I've truly gained a love for it, even a literal thirst:P
- I haven't really eaten snacks between meals, so I didn't add any extra veggies, etc...
Goals for the coming week:
- Run 16 miles
- Do strength training DVD twice
- All Water
- Order Eat to Live book and start reading about the 6 week plan
It's good to hear from everyone again and to see all that y'all are doing!

That Itch...Time to Scratch.
Last night I couldn't sleep. I looked at the clock, showing me it was after 2 am. I listened to Faiyaz's deep breathing. I'd already agreed to get up with Anjali in the morning and let him sleep in since he's been getting up at 5. Meanwhile my thoughts were racing.
I am now committed to finished the editing of my novel before the new baby comes in December. I need to do the third draft, with some major changes, on my own, then get both Faiyaz and my grandmother to read it and give comments. At that point I'm also going to need to have a website up and running with bio info and an exert from the novel...and a nice picture that doesn't make me look fat (better take that picture now, huh?) Then I've got to find a literary agent, preferably mainstream. I need to get to the looking for an agent point before the new baby comes. That is my goal. I have less than five months.
My writing has always gone this way. Sometimes I write because I write and I have to keep writing, and other times I get the itch. This compelling feeling that I have to be working frantically. It is what drove me to the completion of the first draft of this novel. I was diligently writing daily, working at a steady pace, when suddenly I had an "itch".
So now I have another itch. My house is going to be filthy by the time this is over.

Here I am!
Just been really busy! Is it too early to be showing this much? It seems like just last week I couldn't see anything! Am I losing it or 
do I look preggers now!?!
do I look preggers now!?!Where is everyone?
What goals are you pursuing? Is that where you are... out pursuing your goals? I've decided to stick to the ones I posted the other day. That's enough to try to keep up with for now.
Keep up the good work on whatever you are doing... and report in. It's fun to know what you are all up to!
