Jump Around

I think the world stopped rotating on it's axis last night... for a few minutes anyway.

Yes folks, for the first time in a LONG TIME I didn't post the night before.

I was up late emailing the Favorite Food Swap participants their partner's info. AND their aren't even THAT many of you! : ) But hey, for our first swap and for it being the holidays I think we did pretty good! For those of you participating, thanks and I can't wait to see what everyone gets!

On another subject.

The running.

Yes, I am still running. And Yes. Today is THE day. This morning after I drop the kiddos off at pre-school, I will mostly run my first 5K. {takes deep breath}. I can hardly believe it's true. Just 'cause well... I've ALWAYS said I would never run unless chased. And now. Look at me. Just goes to show with some hard work and determination you can do anything. (and yes, I do sound like my father...)

Now I just need to get outside and run. I am going to do the "Jiggle Butt" 5K on January 3rd with some of my girlfriends and it may be pretty cold (as Texas goes) that day and I have only been running on the treadmill at the gym so it may be a little different for me.

But, here I am. Today. About to mostly run my first 5K.

So... if YOU are wondering if YOU could do it. I'm gonna go ahead and say "YES YOU CAN!" : )

Oh and on ANOTHER subject...

Me and some of my girlfriends got together for our mostly annual ornament exchange last Saturday night.


By the way, while we were together we made two important discoveries:

1. Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate peppermint creme filled Joe Joe's are TO.DIE.FOR

2. (and this is a BIG one!) My husband travels to a city every other week that has 5 (yes 5!!!!) Trader Joe's. Can you believe it took me this LONG to figure that out? Yeah... I'm a little slow. So now... I'm not so upset about the travelling anymore. Just kidding..... sort of....


Ok, I think I am done jumping around now....

And, the earth can now begin it's normal rotation again... ; )
