Today is the bake sale at the office for a group of people running the "Race for the Cure". It's a 5k this weekend supporting breast cancer research. Normally I would scoff at a 5k - "I don't RACE anything less than 10 miles!!" (said in a VERY imperious tone of voice with a possible roll of the eyes) - but I would have probably done it this year were I not already going to be in Kansas. If there's any time it's acceptable to "lower" your standards for race distance, I'd say it's when you're 7 months pregnant and waddling like a constipated duck.
Anyway, I dutifully showed my support - all the while grumbling how I "have to take stuff home to the kids....Christopher has SUCH a sweet tooth...of course none of this is for me!". Somehow I don't think anyone was buying it. I walked with $20 worth (well, $14, but I figured $6 toward a cause, why not). The true test will be how much of this makes it home tonight. But I'm pretty clumsy these days, so it's entirely possible I won't eat any of this during the day and will, instead, accidentally drop it all on my way to the bus.
Super interesting post today, I know. But due to inclement weather, the major kick-start to construction has been delayed, so hopefully I'll have more pictures of that to post shortly. Today's not entirely a horrible day out, so there may be progress today.
Finally, the new #1 name for the baby.........Thor. Christopher doesn't know it yet, but I think it's a solid choice.
Kate,
