fitness, here I come
Last night I wandered upstairs, dejected. “I guess we can’t afford a jogging stroller right now,” I said. I’d spent the day perusing eBay and a parade of high-end stroller brands was marching through my head: Maxi Cosi, Bugaboo, Maclaren, Inglesino. We’d figured out earlier that we could afford $150 for a stroller but just barely, and then I remembered that I still need the book for my current class and that’s $50 at least. A decent jogging stroller for under $100 including shipping? Not gonna happen.
“I guess not,” said Not So.
I didn’t mention that I’d placed a bid on a seriously cute Combi in Key Lime (it would match my backpack, you see) because why bother? My max was like $65 and the stroller retails for between $229 and $300 and the auction was set to end at 8am (when I am so, so not awake). There was no chance in hell that I’d win it.
Except…I did!
Look how pretty….all green and gray and sporty. With shipping? $95. I am. So. Cool.

I’m so stoked. I don’t actually plan to start running, of course, but walking briskly? I’m all over it!

Hi: Really appreciated your comments about Fin’s son. He senses his mom’s wanting to protect him endlessly and will come to expect it. I married a guy like that. Cried when the kids took his stuffed animal away. They teased him more. Grew up to be a momma’s boy. Don’t think Fin wants to be told this.
