Open Minded

It's been some week over here.  I hope you've had a lovely one!

Today my intention in yoga was open-mindedness.  I'm usually a pretty open-minded person, but that probably wouldn't fit my state of mind this week, but any who... try to be open minded while I get all this out.  (There might not be much of a theme today... bare with me)

Sunday night while I was out with friends one of them showed us her 2013 horoscope.  Do you believe in horoscopes?  Honestly, I don't.  But they sure do make you feel better and hopeful about the future.  Wednesday night I decided I wanted to see my yearly horoscope too... let's see if it comes true:

Exciting things will be happening within the home and family in 2013. Now other family members may be more thrilled about new opportunities in this area than you, at least initially, but your domestic life is changing and it would be easier for you if you could drum up some enthusiasm too.
Because changes are ahead and you aren't certain these will be right for you. As a Capricorn you like to feel secure. You like to look to the future and know exactly where you are heading. But it's as if your view is being blocked sometimes, by a blanket of fog. Other people are certain changes will be for the better. You aren't so sure. But sometimes there's no fighting change. It's going to happen and worrying about it would be a shame when in a few months time you look back on it all and realise all the benefits experiences 2013 will have brought you. So try to relax and go with the flow. Accept what has to be.
Jupiter in your job and health zone during the first half of the year casts a favourable light over these particular areas of your life. You might be made a job offer if you're looking for work or the chance of promotion could come along in an existing position.
Challenges for Capricorns in 2013
Try to be versatile. Life can't always be predictable and it may sometimes seem as if changes aren't likely to be right for you but further down the road you will discover that what's going on now is necessary to take you to the place you need to be. Remember: Fate moves in mysterious ways.
Any commitments made with other people will be serious ones with Saturn in your friendship zone. Even your social life seems like hard work at times when you always seem to be one of the team who is doing the organising, planning, fund-raising and working hard behind-the-scenes to ensure that big events themselves are successful. Someone has to do all the work and in 2013 you are one of the invisible few who have to deal with the administration and nitty-gritty that others don't realise must be done to keep everything running smoothly.
During the latter half of the year, partnerships and joint activities will bring you surprising rewards. You and a partner will have something very special to celebrate in November. This suggests that as 2013 ends you will be focusing more on your one-to-one relationships and minimising group commitments.

So there you go.
Find your own... go to google type in your sign and 2013 horoscope and read a couple & then pick from those.  It's very scientific you see.

You know, I always enjoy this song, but sometimes it's more relevant than others.  For example, last night I hopped on my bike to head downtown and it immediately came on. Bam!  I needed it.  In high school speech class I chose this song as "my song" or something of that sort & I think it was one of my best speeches.  Although close to the one where I taught the class a song/dance and we all did it together... that story can be shared some other time.

I saw one of my favorite bike commuters with his John Deere bike (that's just what I call it, pretty sure John Deere doesn't have bikes).  In the summer he rides without shoes.

P.S. My friend texted me to let me know I'm famous ;)  
I really do love working with kids.  Btw we're clearly launching a rocket with buttons.

I need some winter orangeness!  It's sunny today...
And I just filled my journal so I'm excited to start a new one with the new year!

Fall Fun!

We could not have asked for better fall weather this weekend.  70 degrees.  Sunny.  We just wanted to be outside the entire time.   We went for runs and decided we needed to spend even more time appreciating the fall foliage, which apparently will peak in two weeks.  So two more weeks to enjoy!  We checked out a new to us restaurant.   Then we took a trip to Grant's Farm, which neither one of us had been to since we were kids.  And neither one of us remembered.  Capping off another day spent outside. Monday I hopped on my bike to get to work and my body felt tired from the fun of the weekend.  I looked out my window at my desk and saw so many beautiful leaves, I took a photo on the walk back to where I park my bike. P.S. Yes, I got a new job!  Hooray!  A more detailed update is coming.

26 miles in 26 days

So the title isn`t exactly correct, but I ran a marathon yesterday and it was Melissa & my`s one month being here. But Caro helped me come up with the title and I thought it was catchy. So marathon #2 and a completely different experience than the one I ran last year in Chicago. Lisa Rottler Chamberlin is the name I ran the race with...I tried to sign up as Lisa Rottler, but it forced me to enter mom`s maiden name or i couldn`t continue with registration. the first difference I experienced this marathon in a very different way. In Chicago I was competitive I would say. It was on my mind since February of last year when I signed up. I was didigent about training and very serious about it. This year I signed up like 3 weeks ago and it was very last minute. Although, I ran like I was training for the marathon this summer in Chicago-that was 2 months ago. Last year the weekend of the marathon I rested. This year Friday night I went to my first quinceanera and got home at 4 a...

Lake Recap

Yep, it's recap time from the week my family and I spent at the Lake . My parents rented a house and a boat for our family for the week.  We were around mile 24 for those of you who've been there before. Dad, Mom, Jeff, Greta & Charlie all slept in the guest house so that meant... Karen & I had the whole main house to ourselves.  ;)  (If only we didn't disagree on the temperature so much. I like it warmer than her).   That might be a bit of an exaggeration.  We had the whole place to ourselves, unless someone wanted food, hang out in the living room, do laundry, etc. We pretty much relaxed the whole time we were there.   We were out on the boat at least once a day. Karen & I are ready for a day on the boat! We got in some tubing and skiing.  (No pictures exist of tubing, but it happened.  My scabs from the cloth burn just came off at the end of last week.  And just ask Karen.  She was sore.  We all were.) ...
