Some stuff and things...

Soooo.... a couple of things I suppose.... I know I haven't been blogging very much- BUT NEITHER HAS ANYBODY ELSE! Anyway, I'll probably be picking it up more here in a bit, just been busy- but when is life NOT busy right?

So I've been trying to find ways to continue to motivate myself to run. I've read different people's blogs and alot of them have on the side bar their total miles they've run for the year or years past. Sooooo I thought I'd start doing that! Just to see the miles add up over the months will surely inspire me. So check out my new side bar on total miles run for the year for 2012- just starting, and I'll try to update it monthly or what ever... go ahead- check it out--->

OK, so here's some pictures...

Jeromy knew I had been wanting a new blender for a while, cause the one I've had for several years has started to occasionally smoke when I use it- that can't be good. So for my birthday present, we were looking at blenders, and I mainly use it to make my protein shakes for after I run. So I saw this cool little blender that pretty much is perfect for making individual shakes! I like that it's a little smaller cause it stays on the counter 24/7 and this will take up less space than my other one! I haven't used it yet, going use it tomorrow for the first time. Isn't it cute???

Here's my Christmas present Jeromy made for me! It's the sign that says runner with the stenciled turtle. We finally got it hung with all my running medals/ribbons on it! I love it! And just above that are the 2 stained glass mirrors Jeromy made me for Christmas a few years ago.

Along with my cool medals, I had to show you my bibs- my numbers I've run for different races. Those different numbers represent how many different runs there are in a year that I've done. Meaning the one at the top is a run I've done in February all the way down to the last one which I ran New Year's Eve, and if I've run the race the previous year I just pin over that same event- that make sense? Proud of my numbers....Then a few days ago- wait, I think it was just yesterday actually, my parents took Misty and I out to lunch for our birthdays! Misty's is December 6th, and mine is January 24th, so they take us both out which is alot of fun for both of us! They took us out to Sizzler- and guess who we ran into? Jason and Laura! Too cool! Anyway, here's a picture of Misty and me, right now we are both 36... wow I almost typed 26.... anyway, we are both 36 for a few weeks before I'm officially 37- that's going to take some getting used to saying.... 37--37--37!!!!

And here's one of dad and Misty. Mom we forget to get a picture of you!

That's all for now! Stay tuned for some upcoming January birthday! My nephew Denny turns 14 tomorrow, my awesome grandma turns 94 on Tuesday, and of course my birthday! Any other January birthdays out there???
