• I have entered hibernation-mode, meaning I stay inside and eat. (Obviously, I don’t think you understand that since I just explained what hibernation means to you. How insulting.) Running has taken a backseat to the new job and life changes.
  • Due to the previous bullet point, I have become a little fluffier. I am uncomfortable and poofy.
  • I will begin my 4th week of good intentions today. Fingers crossed that I remember how to run.
  • K Belle went from blonde to red-head this week. I’m very pleased, considering her other choice was gray. Yeah … weird. Who dyes their hair gray? All the women in the world trying to cover their gray hair and mine wanted all of hers gray. I simply do not understand.
  • Speaking of eating … We hit The Melting Pot this weekend. I died a little bit after I had the white chocolate creme brulee fondue. I’m thinking this thought … bear with me … WHY would God make food so delicious if He didn’t want us to eat it? He could’ve made it taste horrible, right? Skinny for life! 
  • I also finally discovered Trader Joe’s Speculous Cookie & Cocoa Swirl … die again. On hot toast, is the best … so that it melts just a tad … die three times. 
  • The dogs … ugh … I’m having issues with the both of them. Roxy has found a hole and bolts to it at every moment she gets outside, creating a huge muddy mess on her entire face and feet. THE NERVE! You’d swear she was a stray. Oliver … is just annoying. He’s housebroken UNTIL La Petite Belle leaves her bedroom door open and then it’s like a blinking neon sign saying, “POO HERE! POO HERE!” He’s weird. Just when I feel like I have no more patience with them …
  • La Petite Belle finished volleyball strong, despite it not being a great season for her team. She tried out for soccer, but was disappointed that she didn’t make it this year. Taking a year off turns out was not a great idea. Now, she wants to play recreational soccer in the spring. Just when I thought those days were over …
  • On a different note (no pun intended), K Belle has a solo in her high school choir’s fall show. She didn’t audition the first-go-around because she didn’t really want to do it, but then after Mama gave her a little push, she auditioned during the follow-ups and got it! So proud and can’t wait to hear her. She’s playing guitar too. Strange since I didn’t even know she could play guitar. Her room is filled with instruments … keyboard, guitar, bass … I guess if she gets tired of one, she picks up another.
  • I got a new (used) car. This week the back of the passenger seat fell off. And, yesterday, the driver’s seat side did the same. Imagine my disappointment. Thank God I have a man that can fix such things!
  • Since my new job, my weeks have been going by so quickly. Hence, my one blog post last week. Y’all … I’m swamped. No kidding. Every weekend since I’ve started, I’ve had things gong on. I haven’t been able to get a full week’s worth of laundry done yet. I long for some days off soon. Come on, Thanksgiving!
  • Maybe I’ll have another blog post this week.
