Tuesdays Truths

The truth is, I was so desperate for candy the other day, (a craving I'm blaming on pregnancy, since I have never ever been a candy fiend) that when I couldn't find any, ANYWHERE, I dished myself up a bowl of boysenberry jam and tried to pretend it was as good as eating a bag of candy.
The truth is, a bowl of boysenberry jam is not as good as a bag of candy, even when you're pregnant, I wouldn't suggest anyone try it...
The truth is, if these cravings keep up I might actually take my kids trick-or-treating this year, just so I can eat their candy!
The truth is, I think I miss running. I've never been passionate about running, it's always been more of a chore than anything. It's been months and months since I've been for a run and I enjoyed the break (immensely) but something in my bones is telling me I need to get back out on the streets and do something good for me.
The truth is I've become so weak and lazy and pregnant that I know running again right now would be disastrous. So I'm setting my goals on putting my treadmill to some good use this winter. I may not be physically able to run right now, but I can walk my fanny off!
The truth is, it's my husband's 30th birthday this month, and I really really want to do something fun and special for him, but I have no clue what I should do....
The truth is, this month, eight years ago, Derik proposed to me and I said YES! I never imagined what our lives would be like eight years from then. A whole lifetime (or so it seems) and two and a half kids later, here we are. Just think, in eight more years Dylan will be well into his teenager years...YIKES!
The truth is, after spending nine years together with Derik (we were inseparable our first year of dating) I have done little to influence him or his ways of thinking, but he has profoundly altered who I am and how I think.
The truth is, I admire so many things about my husband, the man is like an immovable stone when he's made up his mind. I wish I could be more like that!

Just busted out my treadmill again. And for John's thirtieth, we did a "Back to Your Youth" surprise party. 80's theme and trivia (I have a CD with TV theme songs), did some karaoke, everyone dressed up, had dinner and dessert. It was a lot of fun. It's hard coming up with something, but whatever you do, it will be the fact that you went to the trouble that will probably mean so much :) By the way, do you have a good salsa recipe? Thought I'd ask since you garden.
