"Or" not "And"

Warning, this post may make me seem extremely vain...but whatever.
Getting ready this morning, and by getting ready I mean brushing my teeth and throwing on some spandex to ride to work, I was noticing how tight my once loose pants are becoming. It is this wonderful thing I like to blame my dad's genetics for, muscle. Most people work out and their legs get skinny, I work out and I go up 2 pant sizes to accommodate my large (I like to think muscular) thighs. So not fair! I am left with this "dilemma" (I put it in quotes because I only WISH this were my biggest problem), I can either have skinny legs and pudgy middle, or a flat-ter tummy and go up 2 pant sizes. Grrrr. My "solution"....add another scoop of ice cream to my bowl and stop caring :-)

Frumpy

I'm sitting in bed (yes at 10:00am), it's my day off work. I just finished paying some bills, I have lots of homework and reading to do and lots of errands to run ( I actually have a car today!!!). Normally I would easily put off the homework to run errands, but I just don't want to have to put on "real" clothes. Pathetic I know. Riding my bike to work, I'm always in work out clothes, and now I never want to put on anything with a button or zipper (this constitutes real clothes). It seems like the only time I get "dressed" now is for church, and anyone at the impromptu roadshow meeting after church can attest that the church clothes are replaced with yoga pants and a sloppy shirt immediately upon my arrival home. This led me to wonder, when did I become so frumpy? I came to the realization that I've always been like this, but its much cuter in high school. I probably should take this as an ah-ha moment, get up, put some "real" clothes on and look presentable to run my errands, but no. I am just going to own the fact that I will be a "yoga pants mom," my future kids will be embarrassed to be seen in public with me, and in the mean time I'll be on the watch out for hidden cameras, Stacy London, and Clinton Kelly.

Train and Tubing

Before the huge storm hit, the Rigby's made it up to Midway! We went on the Heber Creeper, Train and Tub adventure. The train took us to the back side of the lake, then dropped us off in Soldier's Hollow at the tubing hill. There, we got to tube for over an hour. It was a little later and darked than we thought, but we still had a blast and it was GREAT to see everyone! Thanks for coming up!

Fun in Midway

We spent last week up at the cabin in Midway. We got a huge snow storm and then the temperature dropped, so we weren't able to play in the snow as much as we wanted to, but we started the week off with lots of fun and visits from family! The first day we spent with the Duffy cousins. They are SOO much fun. We all went out to lunch, ice skating at the Midway Rink, and then back to the cabin for hot chocolate. These kiddos were so good at ice skating, I was shocked when they told me it was there 2nd-3rd time ever!!!
