My parents have brainwashed me into thinking eating dinner at 4:50 pm is normal behavior.  

I ate dinner and worked on my spin playlists while Brooke was taking a late nap.

Rotisserie chicken and cornbread (x 3)… super nutritious.

PS I am so in love with the song Counting Stars by One Republic!  PPS you can find a lot of my old playlists HERE!

Not so long ago I never would have thought I would be living in Utah again but the fact I get to spend so much time with my nieces and nephew makes the whole situation a lot easier!

I love taking them on individual dates.

Girlfriend hit the jackpot so many times last night.  She got 250 tickets off of her first nickel.  

IMG 4097

She made sure to purchase bff bracelets with the tickets (Brooke had no desire to wear hers).

IMG 4114

She is all of the sudden VERY interested in froyo.  

IMG 4119

 We also ran into Target really quick because Brooke has outgrown my favorite shoes ever.   I don’t know what I will do when the size 5s are too small for her because that is as big as they get.   Life is sure hard;)

IMG 4127

And I ended the night with the Paige.  (PS I run/go to workout classes when Brooke is asleep… my mom has the video monitor when I am gone.  It works out quite wonderfully.  I don’t feel like I am a single mom because of all of the support I have from my awesome family)

——————————-

Randomness for the day:  Open your phone up and look up how many pictures you have on your phone right now and tell me.

-3,172.  I can’t stop.  Once I had Brooke I started taking a billion pictures a day.

What songs (workout or not) have you been digging lately?

How many nieces and nephews do you have?

What was your dinner last night?

Those little shoes are so cute! Can’t wait til I have a little one of my own to dress up! I am loving the new Eminem and Rhianna song, “Monster.” Great song to run to!

I don’t have a ton of pictures because my phone was new in July and also I have this weird obsession with deleting all duplicate shots! Last night I made Gouda Mac and cheese to see if I wanted to also make it on thanksgiving and it was incredible!!! I have two nieces and two nephews and another niece on the way! they all live within ten miles so it’s awesome! Have a good day :-)

I have 350, I don’t have a cool phone so the quality is not near as good as an iPhone!

I love Brooke’s shoes! So cute!

I am also loving that One Republic song as well, so great for working out too. I am also loving TKO by Justin Timberlake.

No nieces or nephews!

Last night I had some brown rice with mixed veggies and tuna with an apple and a hardboiled egg. :)

I only have one little niece so far. She turns four in march and is SO much fun!
Dinner was a veggie stir fry with purple rice and tofu for the hubby.

Woo I only have 837! I have been trying to keep it down haha doesn’t always work but this is a huge improvement :)

I love that your family is there for you through this hard time.. I have an awesome family like yours that would do anything for me. It’s important you have some time to yourself, too.

Reply

We had a 3 pm dinner/lunch because we opted for a family swim around lunch time. The hub and daughter shared made-by-me split pea soup and bread, and then some pudding, too. I had a salad and bread dipped in pizza sauce.

I have 16 nieces and nephews… 1 nephew from my sis, 15 from my hub, and 1 great-niece and 1 great-nephew from my hub. I never thought I’d be 35 and have a 7-yr-old great niece, but that’s all part of the beauty of life! My great-nephew is 3 weeks older than my daughter, too.

638 pics. I also love counting stars! It’s such a great song. I loved running on the treadmill to the music video! Dang you VH1 for not having morning videos anymore!
Isn’t pinterest great for all things health, music,… okay for just all things!

Counting Stars is my current favorite too!!! Only 152 pictures – I must need to work on that! I have 8 nephews and 1 niece – I have 7 great nephews and 4 great nieces. I was mortified when I realized I was a great aunt. My great aunts sat in their living room tatting doilies – I am not that great aunt :).

Reply

Tatting. It sounds old but it’s such an art form. My sister learned it because it’s SO hard she wanted to be able to say she could do it. It’s BEAUTIFUL.

I only have 1860! LOL

My dinner was ginger ale. :-(

I have 1,543 pictures. Whoa that’s a lot.

My latest favorite running song is I Could Be The One by Avicii and Nicky Romero. It picks up in certain points that helps push me through when I just want to quit.

That’s great that you have so much family support, how awesome.

Oh and I don’t have any REAL nephews and nieces. Just the pretend ones that my friends let me claim as my own. :)

I have zero nieces and nephews! My brother is younger than I am. My cousin recently had a babe though so I suppose that is a niece as well. I have yet to meet her though because they were in Hawaii when she was born this summer and haven’t been around.

Dinner was sausage, zucchini, spinach, and coconut milk. MMMM

Brooke looks adorable eating her froyo!!

I just did a photo purge on my phone, so now I’m sitting pretty at 658. I’m sure if I had any kids I would have about a million more, though. I don’t blame you.

Right now I’m obsessed with the new songs by Flo-Rida and Pit Bull. So weird! But they’re such good workout songs. I joked that I was going to listen to the two of them on repeat during my half marathon last weekend, but I went sans tunes :)

I have one niece — she’s 16 and lives (literally) 10,000 miles away, but luckily she arrives next week for a month!!! I haven’t seen her in three years, so we are thrilled!

Don’t judge… but dinner last night was Annie’s mac and cheese!

1205 pictures on my phone, but I imagine it would be triple that if I had an adorable little girl to take pictures of. And since I’m an only child, I really have no idea if I have any nieces or nephews… I have cousins that have kids, but I don’t think that counts? I honestly have no idea how all that extended family business works…

Reply

I have 1,182. I’m worried because I got the cheapest phone too which means less space for photos, I hope I don’t run out of room before my 2 year contract is up hahaha. I’m in love with Counting Stars too!! As soon as I get in the car I listen to one country song, then I’m on the hunt for Counting stars for the full 30 minute drive to school. And on a side note, I remember when I was in 4th grade, my parents would eat dinner at 4:00, every night…..it was defiantly weird when I went to other people’s houses, they ate so late!!!

If Brooke isn’t gonna wear her BFF bracelet, can I have it? I mean that’s how happy this blog makes me. I feel like you peeps are my BFFs. Also, I’m very sad to learn that those shoes stop at a size 5. I’ve been a 6 for a while now. Day: ruined.

I don’t have any nieces or nephews I was an only child and my husband’s brother hasn’t got married and had kids yet. However I do have many of my friends kids that consider me their aunt so its all good!

That is great you have lots of support so you don’t feel like a single mom. My mom raised me as a single mom and had lots of people around all the time to help and I felt like I had a huge family even tho most were just friends who became like family.

Oh I like your parents dinner time. I feel the need to eat dinner as soon as I get home…or as soon as I finish a run.
Last night we picked up Melt for dinner. They specialize in grilled cheese sandwiches. We split the Chicken and waffles sandwich, 2 pieces of texas sized toast, waffles, fried chicken, sirarcha butter and we added bacon!

Christian and I always eat dinner at 4:30-5! He usually has class from 9-4 and doesn’t have time to eat anything besides a Poptart (I know, I know… at least he’s eating though!) so he’s starving after classes! I get in a workout so I’m ready to eat at the same time he is. It’s a weird routine, but works for us!

Reply

When I was still figure skating my fam and I ate dinner at 4:30/5:00 because we got up so early to go to the rink before school haha. It took ages for me to learn that most people didn’t eat till 6 or later :P I have no idea how many photos I have since I still haven’t figured out the new iPhone update, but I know it’s in the 1000s since I take tons of pics of the boys I nanny for each day and plenty of random ones besides! And we had shrimp and green risotto (as opposed to red risotto which I know is roasted red pepper…no idea what’s in the green though so i just call it green…can you tell I’m the baker and not the chef in the house?). It was tasty, but I love a good three-five pieces of cornbread, too. Your mom’s looks awesome! Have a great day love :)

*267, I just downloaded pics to my computer this last weekend though. Otherwise, I can’t download new software on my phone.
*The last two songs I downloaded were 10,000 Reasons by Matt Redman (mostly because my 6 y.o. is obsessed and it’s a great song) and Katy Perry’s Roar.
*I have I have 9 nieces and nephews, only 2 of them are still little though, the other 7 are much closer to my age and 2 of them are more like my brothers. Nieces and nephews are seriously the next best thing to my own children.
*Dinner last night was a dirty baked potato, i.e. baked potato + chili + mixed veggies = awesomeness

Hopefully Brooke doesn’t grow too fast! Those little gold shoes are too cute!
PS – are most of her clothes from Target? or…? She’s always dressed so cute:)

No nieces or nephews here yet. Parker is the first baby in the family (and has 9 aunts/uncles) so we’re the ones that are enjoying the all the love right now.

For dinner last night we had Chicken, Bacon and Artichoke Pasta with Creamy Garlic Sauce – it was absolutely amazing, definitely something I’ll be making again! And I would totally eat at 4:50 if I could get dinner cooked by then, I’m lucky if I can get it on the table by 6:30!

Hi Janae, I’ve been following your blog for a couple years now. I think about you a lot with this shift that has taken place in your life. You are so strong and I have so much respect for you as a mother and an individual. I meant to share this song with you back in summer but never got around to leaving a comment. Give it a listen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qmBUMZLyDc

I’d also recommend Strength, Courage, and Wisdom (“FREEDOM IS MINE TODAY!”) by India Arie and Break the Shell (“Life’s gonna hurt but it’s meant to be felt.”)

Music is powerful and India’s words have helped me through some rough times, given me inspiration when I thought I’d be uninspired forever. (Plus it’s always good to have some more music to run to!)

Reply

I have about 100 and thats only because I backed up my photos recently. With the invention of the smarthphone, I take soooo many more pictures than I never would have before, which is great!

I love the Counting Stars song too, but Brave by Sara Barrellis is awesome too!

I currently have 4 nephews and 7 (soon to be 8) nieces! Yep, I am an Aunt to many:)

Dinner was a crockpot Mexican meal…so yummy and perfect for fall!

Reply

3,172??? I thought I had a lot with just over 700. I agree though, all my pics are of my little guy, I am obsessed with snapping shots of him everyday.

I’m currently loving a lot of old school 80’s music in my playlists…nothing like a little “Wake me up” by Wham to put a smile on my face.

I have 2 nieces (14 & 15) and a nephew (16.) We just had them all over this past weekend and played board games for hours, I just LOVE spending time with them!

I am only at 159 photos because a couple weeks ago, my phone kept saying I had no more storage. Ended up uploading over 3,000 pics to my computer to clear some space :) Dinner last night was chicken/brown rice/veggies/soy sauce stirfry – delicious!

Reply

I don’t have many photos in this phone because it is a new one….and I totally eat dinner on the early side because number 1- I am always hungry early, number 2 – I like to eat with my son and he is hungry early and number 3 – eating when hungry and eating early always works best for me! Who said dinner has to be at 7? If/when I do eat that “late’, I always eat a mini meal before that around my usual time (somewhere between 4 and 5).

I have 3 nieces and 3 nephews. And that will probably be it, one of my brothers and one of my sisters do not want to have kids, so I don’t see that number changing.

Can’t wait to hear your new playlists, I’m always on the hunt for new songs!

What a perfect night! Both my kids love arcade games and fro yo. That would be a perfect date night for them too. One of these nights I want to join you for a late night yoga session. Pretty please.

Those shoes are adorable. I think you need to call the company and demand they continue to make them in bigger sizes. Just an idea ;)

537. I did just get a new phone 2 months ago though.

Teriyaki/veggie stir fry on brown rice. Anna and I loved it. Ross tolerate it and Evan wanted nothing to do with it. It took him 45 minutes to eat one bite of chicken, rice and every vegetable (the requirement before being excused) Apparently this is a new way to torture children.

8 nieces, 2 nephews. A little skewed. lol. I wish I lived closer to mine so I could do fun stuff with them more. I still try and make it up for their dance recitals and at least 1 soccer game, gymnastic meet and what not each season.

I like listening to documentaries or interviews while I run longer distances. I’ve been listening to Michael Pollan interviews about his books (Omnivore’s Dilemma and Cooked). He’s a good,engaging speaker. But today I had to sprint to get Fiona from school in time (there’s a late fee!!) so I put “Work B*tch” on repeat for 20 minutes. It makes me run fast and feel good about doing it!

Just cleaned out my photo cache, so only 113 photos and 29 videos. :)

516 photos on phone but that’s because i don’t have enough storage so i do a phone dump/backup ever few weeks. In other words I take about 1,000 pics per month on my phone. #help!
I have one niece and one nephew. My niece (who is 13 1/2) wrote me a letter recently telling me she thinks of me as the big sister she never had. I melted. Love her.
Love the new Goo Goo Dolls song (come to me my sweetest friend)
Last night was turkey meatloaf (made by my sister in law who cooks for me like i’m a kid even though i’m 40. she makes batches of food and freezes it for me. i am quite lucky) and fresh string beans from my dad’s garden that were enormous because he was late picking them. Tasty though. And 4 pieces of chocolate. Well 2 “vanilla” flavored tootsie rolls. I actually enjoyed them.

Only 249 (I upload my pix to the computer). Almost all are of my 2 grandsons.

Favorite song to run to right now – The Only Way that I know by Jason Aldean

Dinner last night? Trader Joes Mandarin Orange Chicken, Jasmine rice and an egg roll

I guess I’m the old lady on the list. I have 5 children (ages 23-29) and 2 grandsons (1 year and 2 years old). I think it’s great that your parents are your support. I don’t know if anyone has made a negative comment to you but I think that’s the way it should be. My daughter and 2 year old grandson live with us and I keep the monitor on when she’s at work (she works nights) or care for him while she’s running errands. When she moved home, we all decided that we would do this together. It has been an amazing blessing for all of us!

I have 93 photos on my phone. I have to keep them under 100 because my music takes up almost 5gigs of memory! Music trumps photos.

I have 30 nieces and nephews- I love them all fiercely!

Not so much for running as they tend to be more pensive, but I’m really digging Kina Grannis for the past several months. Really love her… Also Miranda Lambert, and she’s got some good tunes for running.

I have two nephews and one brand new niece… I MISS THEM!! I usually visit “home” several times throughout the year, but haven’t been able to visit at all this year, and I definitely miss my munchkins bigtime.

Dinner last night was Thai marinated chicken (my daughter’s favorite) served with couscous cooked in lite coconut milk, and tossed with mandarin oranges and cilantro. Very good!

I had over 3000 on my last iPhone until it crashed on me and now my new iPhone has 2,221 pics on it. 2. I’m in love with Counting Stars… I had it on repeat while I showered! 3. I fall in love with shoes for my little girl or a certain clothing piece and I will buy multiple sizes! Glad I am not the only one! :) Have a great day Janae!! ((Hugs))

Only 656 pictures – I had to delete some when the new iOS came out. About half of them are of Diamond Head/Hawaiian sunrises/sunsets.

6 nieces, 3 nephews, 1 niece-in-law. 2 of our nieces were adopted from Russia and one of them looks like she could be my daughter!

Dinner last night was butterfish, spicy Asian rice, salad, and fruit. Dessert was a seasonal favorite – peppermint ice cream!

Dinner last night was….”totdish”. ground beef, mixed veggies and tomato sauce baked with tater tots on top.

Brooke has good taste (regarding the froyo). I love that you take your nieces and nephew on individual dates. Such a good aunt!!! I have 663 photos in my phone. I LOVE Counting Stars too!!! I’ve been obsessed with “Say Something” by A Great Big World and Christina Aguilera lately. Listen to it, it’s so pretty! I have no nieces or nephews- my hubby and I are both the babies in our families and also the first to be pregnant!! wtf, those bros of ours need to get on it! ;)

I have exactly 1,000 pics on my phone. What a nice and tidy number! :-)

I think you need to start a letter writing campaign to Target to get them to offer those cute little shoes in larger sizes. They are adorable!

I keep my pictures low because I delete them as I post to facebook and my new blog. Down to 450!

I like to keep variety so I listen Pandora when I workout. It is a fun surprise. Anything from Pitbull to Beyonce to Saucony Runner’s High Mixture.

I had over 1000 on my phone until I switched phones. I’m a bit bummed because it had my giant road trip photos on there (3.5 weeks worth of national parks, including Utah, which was gorgeous!!!).

And my current favorite is an oldie but goodie: “Beggin'” by Madcon!

I must hear that song now!

I have 1493 pics–thanks to my new baby! :)

We eat around five and often go to bed before 9:30. When our friends call to go out to dinner, we either have to lie and eat a second dinner or admit that we already had the “early bird” special. Really we’re 33. Not 60. Oh, well!

I have 302 pics and videos on my phone…but I have to empty that quite often. So I’ve uploaded 5 rounds of roughly 400 pics each time since my daughter (first of 2 children) was born in May 2011.

Dinner last night was delicious Chinese take out! (Time to go grocery shopping).

I have 5 nephews, 3 nieces, and 1 more niece that will be born THIS Friday!!! :)

Lately I’ve been loving Fall Down by Will.i.am and Miley…I think it’s on the Shahs of Sunset commercial for Bravo? Yes I love trashy tv

I have 1,693 photos on my phone right now — mostly of my mini dachshund :)

My favorite workout song right now is “Love on Top” by Beyonce — so good!

1632! Yikes! And I LOVE Counting Stars….my favorite running song right now :)

Only 273 pictures because a bunch somehow got deleted when I upgraded my phone.
I also love that song!

Right now 309… because I just deleted 2,500 because I didn’t have any more memory on my phone! The amount of pics I took skyrocketed when I started blogging.. not complaining:) Lately I’ve been eating dinner super early too and it feels weird!

Haha, our usual dinner time here in China is about 5pm :) Yesterday was 4:30! (free dinner at school on Tuesday evenings). Mixture of different veggie dishes, including shredded lotus root, and what we think was turnip. Followed by hot chocolate and a mountain of yoghurt with almonds and sultanas, and a slab of bread.

I have a total of 5 photos on my phone. I know, it’s not right is it?!

I don’t have that many pictures on my phone (maybe 200, and most of them are of my niece). Those shoes are too cute!! I just bought my niece little pink cowboy boots but am afraid she’ll outgrow them before she gets to wear them a lot. I might go back and get the next size too :)

141 photos! I clean them out a lot… I hate clutter.

These little shoes are perfect. I’m a sucker for anything with a bow on it.

1,193 pictures! I can’t even remember the last time I used an actual camera.

350 pics! You must have wayyy more storage than me!

Love the Uggs & yoga pose!

Those shoes are Too cute!!

Thanks for the new song! I always love a new song to get me going on a run. My latest favorites have been “Roar” by Katy Perry and “Miss Movin’ On” by Fifth Harmony (I am not in a break up or big into teeny bopper groups, but I like the song nonetheless). Oh…and the shoes….I LOVE those shoes! We have/had the same shoes (size 5 as well). Then, 2 weeks ago I couldn’t find them. I am afraid my littlest one threw them away (not because she doesn’t like them, but because she likes to throw things away – it has been a bit of a tragedy). Oh, and while I am commenting – tip of the day: my 17 month old has hair just like Brooke’s and I let her play with apps on my ipod while I do her hair. It is the ONLY way she will sit still and let me do her hair. Have a great day!
