It's Caturday again!!

Milo says have you forced a kitty to snuggle today??

Had an awesome potluck last night with my running club!  We did a salad bar and that was perfect because I really don't like to cook.  We had good food and GREAT conversations!!  I can't wait for the next one!! One of the girls made fabulous goodie bags for us!  Mine had this awesome wrist wallet in it! It will be great for running.  :)

She also gave us all some sweet socks!  Yay for rainbow socks!

I'm doing a little bit of work and then hopefully a nappy.  :) 

titles are overrated

This.

Hope Tuesday is going well for you.  I had a nice run this morning.  I made it 3.05 miles.  I could have gone farther, but I had to get back and pick up a kid from school.

Over the last few days I've been trying to decide what half-marathon I want to run.  I initially figured I would run the Duke City Marathon in Albuquerque in October 2013, but that just seems BORING.  I've been to ABQ a million times.  I read all these blog posts about people going to new and exciting places to do a race and I'm jealous!! ;)  

I found the Durango Double yesterday and I was super excited because I love Durango and it's so much prettier up there.  However, hubby pointed out to me that it is higher in elevation (by 700 feet) and it is much more hilly.  Good point.  THEN he offered to train with me if I would considering doing the Pensacola Marathon.  Back the truck up!!!  Hubby "hates running" by his own admission; so, an offer to train with me is a big deal (to me).  He likes to do the obstacle races (Dirty Dash, Warrior Dash, etc.) because it's not just straight running.  

The Pensacola area has a special place in my heart anyway.  From the time I was 4 years old we went on vacation every summer to that area.  Hubby went for the first time when we were dating in college and we went in June of this year for a big family vacation. So, running a half in Pensacola would be very special, not to mention that it is lower in elevation than us ( by  A LOT).  

Perdido Key, Florida (where my heart lives)

Yours truly

Awesome mail day!

Today was an awesome mail day!  (Not as good as getting an 8lb chocolate egg filled with running shoes or anything...but ya know.)

First off I got rainbow knee socks!  Yay!  These are happy making fosho.

I also got my much awaited package from Ipsy (formerly MyGlam).  I subscribe to their monthly subscription service.  For $10 a month you get a little bag full of makeups!  

This are myyyyy cosmetics!!

Milo tried to steal them.  I think he was enamored by the hot pink envelope.  Really awesome stuff this month!  Mascara, lip gloss, eye liner, hair oil treatment and eye shadow!  The little makeup bag is CUTE too!!  The eyeliner itself is worth $14. Score!  Everything all together (not counting the bag) is "worth" about $60 bucks.  The lip gloss sells for $31 but who would pay that much for lip gloss!?!?!

I don't love the color of the gloss but maybe it will look better on. 

Nothing doing...

Nothing much going on today.  I have to log in and work this morning :( .  Husband is off traipsing around the forest looking for elk and squirrel.  The house is a DIS-AS-TER; so major cleaning will have to be done after working.  I'm hoping to get to the track today too so I can get a run in.

Do not forget today and tomorrow are the last days to enter your run for the Cupcake Classic virtual 5k!

Also, the signups for Pile on the Miles start today Monday!  Monica over at Run, Eat, Repeat is hosting this year.  I am so excited for this!!!  It's gonna be great to have something to focus on in November besides stuffing my face! ;)

I will update with a link when it's up!! :)  

Off to work!  Milo says have a great Caturday!

Remember how I said I was really tired yesterday? Well it became unbearable around noon and I called in sick for the rest of the day and took a 3-hour nap on the couch.  It was awesome.  Glorious even.

I discovered something exciting a few days ago....Victoria's Secret has started a line of sportswear!  It even has its own section on the website!  I ordered more running pants (capri and long pants), a jacket and shirt (with those keyhole things for your thumbs!!!!!) and a belt to hold keys etc when running races. Woohoo!  That was my birthday present to myself.  Happy Birthday Self!!

The kitties are playing/fighting this morning and distracting me with their cuteness.

The first rule of kitty fight club is....

I am excited for my run tonight!  I want to see if I can get it down to less than 42 minutes!  Getting so close to being able to RUN the entire 5k!  That's something I never thought would be possible for me. :)

Happy Caturday!

Celebrate Caturday for me by watching Milo Kitty sleep. (I'm probably feverishly cleaning and/or baking pies right now.)

Perusing cat-shaming.com for ideas....

Tuesday shmuesday...

Excellent run today!  I did not get to run last night because hubby's work is batshit craycray right now and he didn't get home until after dark.  :(  I need to up my runs to four times a week to meet my goal of 30 miles in October I think.

Big weekend coming up!  A friend is coming in from out of town.  I haven't seen her since August!  She actually went to highschool with husband, but through the modern miracle of Facebook I am able to steal all his old friends! ;) (Or at least that's what I'm accused of lol).  I am hosting a Pure Romance party on Saturday, which surprisingly is a lot of fun and classier than you'd expect.  You can google Pure Romance if you wanna.  It's basically an adult toy party.  Like Tupperware but with dildos.....BUT I swear it's classy!  I have to come up with some fun snacks and cocktails to make.

Then Sunday we are going to hit up a pumpkin patch!  It's a yearly tradition.  Today I leave you with cute kitty back end.  This is Milo sleeping between plants on the window seat. He's a weirdo.

Happy Monday!!

Hola peoples!!  It is a beautiful, yet slightly chilly, Monday morning! Yesterday I volunteered at the vaccination clinic with the local animal welfare league.  It was a blast.  I really loved interacting with all the people.  Working from home I only get to interact with my 4 year old ;) lol.  I saw lots of cute doggies and not as many kitties as I hoped.

I'm stoked to get my run in today when hubster gets home from work.  Here's my 38th place commemorative wooden ice cream spoon from the race on Saturday! ;)  I love it!  I'm pretty proud lol.

I hope your Monday is glorious.  I have to get some work done today!  I will leave you with a few things.

1. My nappy hair and my kitty sitting in my hoody.

2. My favorite youtube channel!!! Rhett and Link's daily morning show Good Mythical Morning! My day is not complete without watching.
