I don't know if I've ever siad this here, but I HATE my kitchen.  I think I have re-arranged it 10 times in the past seven months that we've lived here.  I wanted Nate to help me rearrange it again, in hopes that a fresh set of eyes would help.  But no dice.  He gave me absolutely no advise.  So today, while Spencer was napping, I took everything (except the plates and cups) out of the cabinets and drawers and found a new home for it.  I even re-arranged everything on the counter.  UGH!  It is just so annoying.  I HATE this house!  I HATE it!  No matter what I do it doesn't feel right.  It doesn't feel like home.  I love the location and the neighborhood, so I won't move.  But nothing fits right and it doesn't flow well.  BLECH!  I want the house at Lakenheath back!  I LOVED that house!!!!  It was perfect for us.  Perfect size, perfect layout and just beautiful in general.  Some days I really get homesick for England.  Which is funny because it isn't even where I am from.

In other news, I bought a fanny pack today.  Yes, welcome to 1985.  I own a fanny pack. 

Here's my awesome fanny pack

I have been searching high and low for a arm band that will fit my phone.  I've been so discouraged by the search that I have been tempted to buy an ipod touch.  I hate ipods/iphones etc.  I just don't like the ios and I prefer the things on the Android market.  So I use my phone to track my workouts and running trails.  Everything.  But no one makes an arm band that fits my phone.  Some of you might say, well just put the thing in your pocket!  Well I do.  But most of my workout clothes don't have pockets.  When I do wear something that has a pocket and put it in there is moves around so much it bugs me!  So Spencer and I ventured to REI in search of SOMETHING, anything really, that would fit my phone.  And I found a fanny pack.  The good thing about it is that I can fit my phone, car key (no more hiding the keys in the car and hoping no one steals it!) and chapstick.  It is also low profile and black.  So no one should be able to see it.  All I could think when I bought it was, "Awesome, I can wear my new fanny pack and the hat I got yesterday and be real styling!"  Here's what it looks like on

I can even pull my shirt over it and you can hardly tell it's there.  So maybe it's not that bad.

I'm going to go for a short run tomorrow and test it out.

The kids had class today.  So I lifted.  I swear every time I work out during ballet all the other ballet moms give me the stinkeye.  I don't know if I'm just self conscious or full of myself.  When I've sat at the tables I have heard a lot of moms talk poo about moms who are working out.  So maybe I just have a thing in my head that moms who don't work out talk about those who do.  So I should just get over it.

Anyway, Spencer got his Gi today.  Here he is posing...
