As a family..

we went and VOTED! Early voting began on the 16th here in NC. Our town's early voting office opened today, so we took advantage of the no line facility, and cast our vote.

Can I tell you I am so happy to be done with it. All this politic talk and news, was just maddening and tiring.

We took the twins with us, and tried to explain the best we could what we were doing. All they cared about was the free stickers, but I did get them to say "Time for Change" over and over!

Time is just flying by!

Wow, I can't believe we are almost into November! Work has been keeping me busy.

Halloween is next week and my MIL finished Derrick's costume, and altered Gabby's:

Took the kids to HillRidge Farms in..

Youngsville with some friends. We had such a good time and here are the pictures to prove it:

"It's been a while..."

Yeah I know. I suck at blogging. It's been another busy month at the Wargo household. Work has been uber busy, which is a good thing.

Dh was just given another store, up in the Wakefield/Wakeforest area, so that means more money, more BONUS. And he is soaking up all the brown nosing from his colleagues!

The twins are loving school. That's all they talk about. And they sing their Jesus songs, and learning sooo much. I love that they love it!

Halloween is around the corner, Derrick has changed his mind soo many times, it's not even funny. He finally settled on Scarecrow, so I went to the local Goodwill and spent a whopping $5 on a pair of pants, a flannel and straw hat. Gabby will be a fairy, which I conveniently bought last year at Target, during their post Halloween sale.

I do not dress up, but will wear my scary Halloween tee whilst Trick or Treating with the twins. Soo happy it falls on a Friday this year.

Exercise has been minimal, but I joined Vivi's WL Challenge so hopefully she will kick my butt into gear!

Ahhh another day..another Run..

It has been sooo gorgeous lately, that afternoon runs are quite desirable! I did 4 today on my lunch break. ATT was busy this afternoon, tons of walkers and strollers! Always nice to see people out on a gorgeous day!

As I finished up my run, I headed to Quiznos to get a sandwich, and noticed a ton of balloons and signage for a new store, a new RUNNING store. I went in and met the owner and chatted for a bit. Nice man. Well at least now I don't have to drive 45 minutes to buy my shoes anymore!

Had a very lazy weekend. I was out on Friday and Saturday nights, ate and drank way tooo much.

Today's Run:

4 miles

left my HRM at home, it's on the fritz!

It's not dermatitis...

it's Psoriasis! Ewwwww even worse. Of course I get an uncurable disease.

She prescribed Clobetasol, to apply to my hairline around my forehead and around my ears. And she wants me to use a combo of Nizoral (which I have been using) and T-Sal!

And when the nurse brought me to the room , she asked me a few questions, then told me to undress and put on a robe. I was not prepared for that. I asked her why and she said the Dr. will want to check out the rest of your body. So I took off everything but my panties and of course, the Dr. is having a student shadow her, a Young, good looking, Male student. Mind you .....my legs are not SHAVED! Thank god I am sooooooo tan from our last vacation, and you really couldn't tell! So embarrassing.

So word to the wise, no matter what kind of Dr.'s appt you have, shave your legs and pits (I shaved them, last night)!

Maybe Dermatitis..

is what has been plaguing my hair line and scalp for the past 3 months. I have tried everything possible to get rid of it, but no such luck. It's really ugly looking and is keeping me from wearing my hair up and the dandruff? Jeez I have the worst dandruff ever. It's disgusting. I was able to finally get in to see a dermatologist today, YEAH, so I am hoping this will be the end of my suffering!

Running!

The temps have been soo low compared to the last few weeks, that running has been on my mind 24/7. I actually got up with m alarm at 4:45AM and headed out for 4 miles at 5:15AM. It was dark, so I kept my route along Main St of my little town, making sure I looped to pass the police station a few times and staying under the street lamps. I was surprised how many cops are out at 5AM.

Less than 6 weeks to the City of Oaks Half Marathon, I am hoping I will be fine. I am going to try to get 2-a-day's in 3x a week till then, to help whip me back into shape. I wish I wouldn't have procrastinated so long with my training, but the 4 I ran this morning felt good.

Weight Watchers!

I have not been counting points in the longest time, it felt really foreign this morning when I logged on to check on my running gals and enter my points. How long does it take for something to become habit? 3 weeks? Why oh why did I let all of my hard work fall to the wayside? SIGH!

Today's Run:

4 miles / 49:25 min
