A Few of My Favorite Things

My new favorite nail polish I just rediscovered in my OPI case. Crepes Suzi-ette.Well, I happened to be flipping throught the recent Vogue and found this perfume which I happily ripped open and wiped on my wrists. How far away is Christmas?

A Day in the Life

Well, this is how I opened the door and found Berkley a few days ago. What a stinker.

and this is how I found him this afternoon when I was making a grilled cheese.

annnnd this is what he was after. Yes . . . my wonderful (5 year old) boyfriend requested I make him 'Dirt' for a treat last night. Boy, is he lucky.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN :
I F I N A L L Y got my nice D40 fixed and was able to snap a few shots of my #1 model before the battery died. Well, guess who can't find the battery charger?

My goal is to get a battery charger off of eBay before the Thanksgiving festivities. Now, only if I knew how eBay worked. . .

Run Forrest Run!

MICHAUD Periodontics and Dental Implants, thought it was a good idea (forced us) to run a Wesley Chapel, FL 5k as a group at the beautiful Saddlebrook Resort this past weekend. . . . . my legs are STILL sore.

From L to R: Dr. Michaud, Joey, April, Diane, Kristy (preggers!), Niki, and Michele, and me on the nasty ground.
The purple tie-dye spandex shirts helped Christen and I run the whole way; along with the sporty wrist bands. (and p.s. I DID run the ENTIRE 5k......ladies and gentlemen, this has never happened before. I think it was knowing we were going to Cracker Barrell right after that gave me the motivation to do it. Thanks biscuits and gravy.)

Bring on the next 5k!
