Today’s fave five were:
- Not waking up to bad dreams.
- Being able to see sunshine most of the day long from an open office window!
- Looking forward to the goodies coming my from Swap-Bot in the mail. Today I received two of four I’m expecting: 1) my “free theme” inchies and one of the 2 of spades APC. Both were quite fun to open! CraftyWench you had made my inchies went with a vampire/faerie theme also incorporating a lot of green into the work which I love. She clearly had checked out my loves/likes list and drawing from that came up with something really fun and unique with me in mind. She glued the inchies down onto a giant puzzle piece which was so radically different than what I had done with the inchies I had made that I was surprised at first. But I think it’s really neat to see how she worked with a really solid theme and created an easily displayable work of art. THANKS CRAFTYWENCH (Christina)! My APC from Cocoa is really awesome too. I had checked out her website and actually was pretty sure I saw the two APC’s she had made. I ended up getting the one I secretly hoped would come my way, so that was pretty nifty. Anyway, a big thanks to both ladies for helping brighten my day and giving me something to look forward to in the mail!

- Having a running partner who is really working hard and kicking some ass! Way to go MU. Tonight we had our fourth run – what I was aiming to be a two miler turned into a three miler (accidentally) and we NAILED it! It was 30 minutes exactly and that was with a couple extra long walk breaks. It was not my intention to run quite that fast, but I felt like we were running at a comfortable (and slow enough) pace for a newbie. I’m going to work on bringing it down a notch, but really, we were doing a run/walk ratio of 6:1 so I guess I ended up feeling too rested and pushed it a bit to hard. Regardless, Mike did beyond awesome and I’m continuously encouraged by his natural ability. This is gonna be a great running season I think!
- McDONALD’S HOT FUDGE SUNDAE FOR DESSERT!!! Yeah, that’s right baby…I had me some Micky D’s. YEAH! I don’t know how many calories were in that bad boy, but it tasted so good…(there goes the work out from tonight!). I’ve been good all week though, taking the stairs at work, keeping a VERY LOW sugar diet (I’m killing myself with this) and being very mindful of what I eat. I think we both deserved a treat, and since I’m the only one who really has to work on slimming down, I think I’ll take the hit on the hot fudge as long as I work on being good the rest of the week. It tasted GOOOOOOD (almost as good as skinny feels
