Back on the Wagon...

And by Wagon, I mean treadmill. After a two week hiatus due to a quad injury that suddenly appeared two weeks ago after my 9 mile run, I finally was able to run again tonight! I put in a decent 4 mile run before stopping for fear of re-injuring my leg. I think I need to ease back into running, but it's hard to do with the half marathon only 19 days away!! (My sis-in-law, Al, and I are running the Country Music Half Marathon in Nashville, TN. We've been training together from afar since January and I was REALLY bummed when my leg started hurting. I've been so excited about doing this race together, so I'm hopeful that my quad will be 100% when its race time!)

And without further ado, here are some pics from our weekend!

First up - Mr. Cob's scar from the saw. (He said tonight that he's so excited because he can tell our future kids that it is shark bite...or bear scratch, or from a wolverine....which makes me question how gullible our children will be.)



And the wound will always be a reminder of the blood and sweat that Mr. Cob put into building this:




Here are the new valances my mom made:




These are the before pictures of the basement windows...




And the much better "after" pictures!



Here is Bailey Ann playing outside! (Notice the dirt all over her fur...)





And here are the love ferns - hopefully they will not die tonight when the temperatures in Georgia are expected to drop to around 29!





And a few final pictures are of our china cabinet that I found at Kudzu Antiques. It's a great antique store in Decatur - I can't ever go in the store without finding at least a handful of items I'd love to make my own. A few weeks ago Mr. Cob and I purchased this black china cabinet and Mama Kae washed all our china and displayed it in the cabinet for me! Yesterday I was unpacking another box and came across our engraved champagne flutes from the wedding and added them, and my bouquet to the cabinet - I think it looks great! And now every time I walk past the cabinet I am reminded of our wedding and smile. I really am a lucky, happy girl!





And on a final note, I have to admit that grocery shopping was, dare I say it, a pleasant experience tonight...all because of my Grocery List by Aisle chart! And we ate our Caesar salad for dinner...with no question of "What's for Dinner?" Now if only State could somehow turn this game around...
