We spent the last 7 days in Tennessee on a whirlwind wedding trip that turned into a full-length vacation, thanks to car trouble. No, not our own car trouble. We were going to hurry home so as not to miss a Texas visit by my Tennessee sis and her family, but their own car trouble kept them home, so we stayed longer than planned.
This gave the girls time to hit a few thrift stores and expand their collection.
The Circle of Coghlan life
While were there, I discovered that the old lady’s still got it: I jogged 3 miles nonstop. I guess I should confess that Perry and 2 of the girls were walking beside me while I jogged, so you can adjust your admiration and/or envy levels accordingly. Nonetheless, I was thrilled. This was the very sort of jogging that made me kiss the pavement in woozy despair last year, and I was sure I had lost the ability altogether after a full year of being a quitter. Now I’m jazzed – almost – about taking up jogging again.
In other news, I have proof that I am One Hot Mama. I may have slightly set fire to my bra. While wearing it. I blame the jogging, indirectly, because that caused me to be wearing a highly flammable cotton jogging bra and no nursing pads. I was using a hair blower to dry a milk spot, and got it a little too close. When I smelled smoke and saw the scorched spots, I decided it was dry enough. You never knew I was a bra burner, did you? Take that, patriarchy hating feminists!
Incidentally, Zulily has cotton nursing bras and camisoles on sale today 2/$11.99. Just in case you happen to have burned any lately and need replacements.

Ok, you know what? I see nothing funny. Maybe that’s because I just drove straight through the night and am now going on 2 hours of snoozing between 6-8 AM. Maybe our blog had a really boring week. This week it’s your turn. Did your blog receive any hits from interesting searches?
Good blog articles I’ve read over the past week:

LOL! I’d been wondering about the details since you mentioned the scorched bra on FB.
The link for the wood pellets didn’t work for me. Was it user error or the link?
I think this is the correct link:

Far and away, the most searched phrase that brings people to my blog is some version of, “what the enemy meant/intended for evil god meant for good.” That brings them to this page: http://asfourme.blogspot.com/2006/07/what-enemy-meant-for-evil.html which, incidentally, is information I found out from YOUR blog over five years ago.
The other one this week is: “more than I can handle”: http://asfourme.blogspot.com/2007/07/more-than-i-can-handle.html
