Trail Confessions III

I originally intended to do a post about "doing my hair" or in my case "not doing my hair" and call it "Perpetual Bad Hair Day," but I thought another confessions post might be more entertaining.  


My hair is naturally frizzy and wavy.  Back in the day, I would blow dry it straight, and maybe even use a straightener.  These days, sometimes I even miss a shower post workout.  I think to myself - "Self, what good is a shower after this workout, when you're doing another workout a few hours from now."  Or "Self, if you take a shower after this really late night workout, you'll have to stay up to blow dry your hair or go to bed with wet hair."  My husband is a lucky man.  I did blow dry my hair once this week, for perhaps the first time in months, here's a picture for your viewing pleasure.

This is also my first ever blog bathroom mirror photo.  I obviously need more practice.

I don't do make-up.  Ever.  Okay.  Rarely ever. I put on make up for my husband's work party.  And, I used tinted moisturizer the other day.  That counts, right?  And yes, I was wearing it in that picture above.  You're welcome.


Today at my mom's group meeting, we did shrinky dink crafts.  I had previously never done these.  I decided to make myself a medal for climbing Mt. Rainier (which I haven't done yet)...I neglected to consider how much it would shrink.  Hopefully, this is not a sign of my future success (or lack there of) on the mountain.

Everyone wishes they had a medal this awesome.

When I tried (unsuccessfully) to put Avery down for a nap, I actually looked into having a medal made for if when I summit Mt. Rainier. Perhaps I need better hobbies?


Avery now owns a jumperoo.  She's spoiled well loved.  Wednesday night, she figured out how the jumping part works.  I found it rather hilarious.  Even more hilarious, was when she tried to get the exercsaucer to "jump" the same way on Thursday.  A genius, my kid.  This video is from the night she first figured it out.  She's much better at it now.  I think she got as many giggles watching her own video as she did on the jumperoo though. 

Apparently, I'm not as interested in trying Zumba as I claim.  I have had it on my schedule for Thursday morning for two weeks, and have found a reason not go two weeks in a row.  Here's hoping next week is more successful!


Do you have any confessions of your own to share?


Have you ever made yourself a medal?


Have you ever tried Zumba?  Would you recommend it to a friend?
