"Wide Awake" - Katy Perry..... & Planet Gear Giveaway!!

[If you just want the Planet Gear Giveaway Info ----- scroll down below all my Yackity Yack ;) ]

What a week.  ummmmm errrrrrrr two weeks.

Busy. Busy. Busy.

Here's a very small run down of what's been going down in the RUN EMZ household.

1.  This is from last Friday . . . .

2.  The food was Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhmazing.

Mine:

Pita's:

[I know, right.......insanely expensive steak house and they bring him a kiddy bib. ;) ] 
3.  Saturday night's menu = awesome.  Burger & fried pickles.

I as in Emz, Emily, Peanut's Mom, Twinkle Toe's Daughter ..... won $600 on roulette.  Such a freaking blast.  [ummmm, in case you are curious......the Pita lost it the next day but.......Honestly, it was tons of fun watching him lose.]  I was in tears LAUGHING!

4.  He did buy me this shirt for the loss.  FREAKING. Love. it.

5.  He sadly [for me] packed up [one day after his big "40th" birthday] early, early, EARLY this morning to go on a 4-5 day fishing trip in Colorado. 

However, I woke up to find these amazing flowers.
It. is. the. little. things.

so. grateful.

Followed by a text saying, "remember your run for today calls for a rolling hill 18 miler".

Bam.

Ya, he won't have cell service for the next 4 days . . . . I hear the flat treadmill road calling! ;)

[he reads . . . 64 people commented on THAT?]
Me: [glowing/happy/in awe] I know, right?!  They rock.
Pita: seriously.  People listen to you moan and complain and gripe then build you up?  I didn't even know you were having a bad day!

[he pauses]

Pita:  Do you have their addresses? 
Me:  Well, I may have a few on my phone due to RUN EMZ shirts.
Pita:  Should I send cash or checks?

loved. it.
we went on to talk for a few minutes about this.

words/thoughts I remember:

* cheaper than therapy.
* amazing
* supportive
* hand holding
* one crazy understands another
* endurance athletes = a whole other breed
* you should copy/print that
* lucky/blessed

Awesome.

My price I paid for wearing 4.5" heels around Vegas for 2 days.

Only on my right foot.  Weird.

So. worth. it.

Well until my marathon this Sunday.  ouch.

Fast Forward . . . 5 minutes before school drop off.

Peanut:  Mom.  I like this dress. [one I'm selling] try it on.
Me: Ya, I like it.  okay, I'll try it.
Peanut: The arm holes are too big.
Me:  only as to accommodate my huge guns.
Peanut:  whatever. My muscles are bigger.
Me:  [uhhhh huuuuuuhh whaaaa?] let's have a contest!

{I know, right who has a bicep contest with their 10.5 year old? ----- me!!!!}
