"Heartbeat" - The Fray

okay, so it's been a while.

So I thought I'd bore you with a few photos I've been storing up on my phone, until I find the right words to actually write a decent post.

A few are from Turkey Day [my favorite day of the year] and a few are just random photos that make me happy.

Like this photo Peanut took [when I thought she was reading] of me, doing dishes.

I love the photos she takes.

Peanut spent T-day Eve at my parent's place with her cousin.  Where.......... thanks to "pinterest" we were each lucky enough to receive one of these:

They had also made this:

which I freaking loved.

And since I had started my day off with a Turkey Day 20 . . .

I was sooooooooo ready for this stuffyourfacefest2011.

As always, my famous cookbook writing mom, put together an amazing feast.

So good, the Pita had to sleep for two hours and I got to go on a LONG walk with my brother-in-law "Buff".  [ya, freaking loved that]

We made it home just in time for this awesome sunset.

And even though the Pita doesn't see it.....I see my car in the clouds.

I. am. thankful.

freaking. thankful.

for a daughter that invited me to run club on Monday [but not so much today].
for a brother-in-law, I love to talk to.
for a mom, that's a freaking rock star.
for a loving Heavenly Father who knows what I can handle.
for bloggers who's friendships are unlike any other.
for friends with unlimited texting.
for a Dad that calls me "sweetie".
for laid-back, loving in-laws.
and
for a Pita who knows me this well . . .

Roxette.  Love.  Roxette.

Happy Wednesday.

See you in Vegas!!?!

"Danger Zone"

So the Pita & I had a little chat about this last night.

I was thinking [well hoping] the conversation would end with a feeling like this:

But, errrr, ummmm, it kind of went down more like this:

But it was the bigger guy with the fist all mighty in the air.

Maverick[Emz]: Tower, this is Ghost Rider requesting a fly[100 mile run]by.

Air Boss Johnson[Pita]: That's a negative, Ghost Rider, the pattern [calendar] is full.
 
Then something like this was added: [you'll have to put the words in the right order]
 
 . . . . . "  I'll   you   be   we'll   running   can   compare   Vegas   in   me   4pm   while   at   call   gambling   anniversary   stories  .  "  . . . . .
 
He really has been a freaking trooper. 

I mean . . . . 6 marathons in 9 months + crewing one 50 miler.   I am grateful.
 
But the JJ100 is on the calendar for 2011.  You bet cha.
