Giveaways

Not that long ago I googled something and found a blog that has lead me to all these amazing blogs...

If there were such thing as a next life on earth...which there isn't...in case you were wondering (there are only to options for the afterlife...one with Jesus--which you want, or one without Him-which you don't want)...I would say that I would like to be super crafty like these ladies.

I love my life right now, but there are some other things I'd like to try as well...and you know this whole working thing just gets in the way of some of the them.

Anyway...there are some fantastic giveaways going on blogger sites and tonight, I found myself at http://www.simplymodernmom.com/ . As my may or may not know...I'm not a MOM, but it's still a cool website and it lead me to another website called http://tatertotsandjello.blogspot.com which also seemed pretty nifty...so go check 'em out....seriously...GO!...oh but wait...not 'till you look at my super cute pics of Charlie!!!

The Week

This week has been a bummer on the running. Last weekend I was superwoman and ran 5 miles and my left knee is pretty jacked up. Anyway, the 2 1/2 this week leaves me just 3 1/2 short of my 100 mile goal. The pain is excruciating...but only when I jog/run...so that's good news.

This week we also had snow. It was fun to have the day off from work. Here are some cute Charlie pics. This was his first experience with the snow. It was fun for all three of us. It came up to his little belly and he didn't like that too much, but as you can see he had fun running around in it.

So close

Hey guess what! It's really a great idea to put a trash bag in the can when you take it out. We wanted to make sure that we didn't have a stinky surprise when we returned from Snyder. Anyway, all day I've been chunking stuff: all the packaging from the new tree, ornament wrapping, tags from little items, debris from sweeping, raw chicken from dinner prep. Anyway, I decided to take the lid off to clean the supper plates into the trash can and found a lovely UNBAGGED mess! I was truely thankful that I didn't have to scrub down the inside of the can after all that. The transfer to the bag was successful.

An update on my running. I did my very first 5 mile run today. A new personal best. 56:15 was my time so a little over 11 minutes per mile. Not great, but I'm satisfied since it was my first time. So that gets me to 94 miles!

Hebrews 1:35-39 So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. For in just a very little while,
"He who is coming will come and will not delay.
But my righteous one will live by faith.
And if he shrinks back,
I will not be pleased with him."
But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved.

Thanksgiving

I love peach cobbler....mmmm

Miles

getting closer: 87+2=89

We'll be in Snyder for Thanksgiving! I'm so excited because I'm going to try some new desserts. I'll try to take pics as I bake... that's always fun. So I'm going to try Key Lime Cheesecake Bars, Turtle Pumpkin Pie, and Philadelphia Chocolate-Vanilla Swirl Cheesecake. Totally not traditional, but very rich and I'm sure they will get eaten!

I'm totally loving having this week off. Glen and I have finished our Christmas shopping, the house is looking SO good...(thanks to my introduction to FlyLady) and I've worked out 3 days in a row and Charlie got a walk.

What WILL i do tomorrow?
