I had a GREAT weekend, how about you guys?

I ran the Charleston SC cooper river bridge run 10k Saturday...I did great :) I ran it in 1hr 30min but I could have done it in 1hr even...I ran it with my sisterinlaw and motherinlaw and they both walked/jogged so I would run about half a mile ahead and then turn around and run back to them...I didnt want to cross the finish line w/out them...next year I'm going to run with my father in law, he finished it in 50min :)

Okay...so for my "nature/garden/outside" bit yesterday I worked in my backyard (put pineneedles out, watered bushes and flowers :) ) I also walked around downtown Charleston :)


Happy Monday team :) :)
 
for my nature yesterday, I walked to the beach and spent time listening to the waves and the sounds of the birds as I walked my dog.

Didn't do so well yesterday eating wise, but I'll do better today, I promise!
 
Oh so what is our challenege and I didnt even see it anywhere ??? If it is get out and enjoy nature...I went on a 2.75mile walk...in the local park and I spent 2 hours in the yard doing yard work...
 
Ok, yesterday I spent 7 hours outside working on my boyfriend's car.

And today I'm going to walk to the bank, should take me about 45 minutes, instead of driving there. I'll walk the bike path which is definitely an enjoyable way to be outside:)
 
I'm here and ready to prance.

I spent 30 minutes yesterday at the track. Took myself and my sons puppy for a walk. We only achieved 1 mile because the dog kept laying down and would NOT get up. She is 12 weeks old and apparently wasn't in the mood for exercise yesterday. I spent 30 minutes outside with hubby watching the stars.
 
Mal, I actually accomplished two pranks on April 1st.

1. My 16 year old daughter is in her bed, just a snoozing. I go in, Amber the school bus runs in five minutes. You better hurry before you miss it.

Naturally, I let her stumble out of bed... searching everywhere for something to wear. Quickly brushing her hair and fussing the entire time. Why didn't you wake me up sooner? She scurries around for her shoes. Finally finds them.(she did pretty good she had 1 min left) Grabs her bookbag and walks out the door. I let her get about halfway down the driveway and I call her name.

Amber. What she yells. April fools today is Sunday. I laugh and she is so mad.
Geez hon if you had looked at the clock, you would have seen it was 10:00 am. Later that day she was laughing with me. Was nice to laugh with my daughter for a change. :)

My second one didn't turn out quite as well. Matter of fact he still may toss me out the door. :eek:

My husband is a extra clean person. Soon as, he comes in from work, he goes straight to the shower. He worked yesterday, we have rain coming this week and he works outside.

I shut the water off outside after he called to see if I needed, anything from the store.

I called our friend Charlie because I knew John would soon after he got home.
John comes in and heads toward the bathroom. Baby, I say ever so lightly. The water is broken. Guess it is a pipe.

He spouts off a few choice words, heads toward the phone. (predictable)
I hear him telling Charlie that we have water issues is there any way he can come over? He tells him sorry but he can't make it untill tomorrow. I hear a few more choice words.

He says, bad as I hate to I am going to Charles, (his brother) I have to shower. I start giggling. (At this point he has been home 30 mins.)

What is so (choice choice) funny he ask. I look at him innocently and go sit in his lap. Baby, all you have to do to shower is, turn the water on and let the water get hot again. :D

April fools. Oh Boy choice words again. He was tickled and aggitated all at the same time. he kept telling me you just wait.. all the while as he said it he was :) so everyone pray for me.

I didn't do an April 1 prank :mad: I just started today, but I will def join in on the nature part. Good luck to all.
 
I told my hubby I was preggo. Not too original I guess, but he believed me .. :D

Spent 2.5 hrs outside yesterday after work. a little over an hour was walking and jogging through neighborhoods with steep hills and then the other 1.5 hrs was working in the flower bed.
 
Well the outdoors assainment is a sinch for me...I keep a garden every year and it takes me over an hour just to water it all:)
I am not very efficient at pranking but I saw a rubber snake at the store this weekend and it looked pretty real, so I told the hubby I wanted to take some pics for giving out at easter...got him and the kid all dressed up and hid the snake under some small hydrangeas...as I was taking the pics I said whats that moving in front of you...he stuck his hand right on it! Scared him pretty good...but my daughters only four so she basically wanted to grab it up...didnt scare her too much, but I got a pic of my hubby freakin out!:D
 
So instead of heading to the gym after work I came home scooped up the dog and he and I ran outside for bit :D Ahwww sunshine :)
Happy Tuesday Teammates :p

Since we still have time, can anyone recommend a prank to play on my boyfriend? The preggers thing won't work for him because he knows there isn't any way possible. Suggestions?
