"Today Was A Good Day" - Jae Millz

today was one of "those" days.

The kind of day where:

* Peanut makes her own lunch.
* Chuy [pickles, as of yesterday, I changed his  name] . . . he's just happy I talk to him now. . . . Pickles, left me alone all morning.

* I slept for over 5 hours.
* She comes in while I'm running ask me "how my run is going".
* I get a 17+ mile run in that felt amazing.  with no TV, no music, no cell phone/texting [gasp]

* When two people decided to buy expensive dresses from me that I've been carrying in my inventory for[freaking]ever.
* I find some awesome comedy show tickets for half price.

* What killed me was the text exchange with the Pita before buying . .

[....below this I said . . . I could probably find one if that was an invitation and or he'd be okay with it . . . notSOmuch.]
* My go-to jeans . . . fit perfectly after wearing them [3 times now] without washing.
* When I get to go to lunch with some of my awesome AZ running peeps.  Adam & Lauren.

 
* Then I casually stop by Costco for gas and actually go inside JUST to buy a magazine.  $3.40 total purchase at Costco [ok, minus the $84 in gas] - you bet cha.
* Then on the way home, I know I'll pass my favorite "treat" place so I stop - they are out of MY favorite but I get the $9 english muffins that make the stop ohhhhhhhh so worth it.
* To get home to see Mase chillin' in the pool.  Ya, it's a "hot" 75* day today.

* When you pick up your daughter from school and she runs to the car. 
Never fails. 
I feel like a freaking rock star every time.

Oh yes, today was a good great day.

Happy Weekend My Friends!!

"Space Age Love Song" - A Flock Of Seagulls

I'm so loving today.

You know, one of those days where you take a step back and it hits you . . .

I'm one freaking lucky girl.  And I've had a huge smile on my face all day.

A few things I'm loving. . . .

* Hearing two 11 1/2 year old girls playing "slow motion death fight" in the family room.

* That my house is finally coming together . . .as we make offers on other houses.  I love it, truly.

* This photo I found of me cracking my Dad's back.

* I love that Peanut's principle next year is my old P.E. [and early morning run club teacher] from when I was 11. 

[photo of my brother and I .... pre his [run club teacher's] "get going" honk]

* I love that my Peanut is hugely emotional these days.  She is saying some super awesome things I hope to use during her "roast" when she gets married.

* I love that I can't stop listening to "Glory of Love" by Peter Cetera.  what?  shuddup.

* I love realizing that I am my best coach.

* I love this . . . .

[seriously, Dawn, why aren't we?]

* I love that this run this morning

went beyond awesomely.

* I love that I found a pair of True Religion jeans for $18 today.  In my size.

* Having a quick bite with an old friend [who has gynormous boobs] and telling the big eyed guys that walked by . . . . "take a good hard look, they have no power over you, I swear."

* I loved going to parent / teacher conference and having the teacher start off by saying, "Your daughter is an absolute pleasure to have in class, not to mention, the least dramatic girl in class."  ..... [not sure how that non-dramatic part happened if she's got my genes. ;] ]

* I love planning my menu for Super Bowl Sunday.

[soooooooo making these.]

* Loved making a Double Chocolate Bunt cake this morning pretty much just so I could act like I was Paula Deen while making it.

Happy. Thursday.  My.  Friends.
