Another Year, Another Birthday

It doesn’t take much to put my family into celebration mode.  We’ll celebrate any little thing.  But this week was a full-on celebration all week long. Okay, kinda sorta.  Okay, not really.  We celebrated one night.  But the spirit was there all week long.

Yes, another birthday has come and gone for me.  Cheers to my Squad Runner teammate who told me if I ran a kilometer for every year I was alive, I would complete a half marathon.  A half marathon is just over 21K… so yeah, I couldn’t help but smile… or in reality, laugh out loud.

Jamesy surprised me with a few goodies… especially the Momentum Jewelry.  Do you all see it and get it?  “I can and I will” is the tag line for my blog!  And the “Be Awesome Today,” well that’s because I’m awesome every day, isn’t it!  (Ha! Someone is sure full of herself right now, lol.)

He also got me some new shoes!!  We all need new shoes, don’t we!!  The more, the better I say!  Twenty years ago, my closet was filled with high heels and sandals… now it’s overrun with running shoes.  My how times and priorities change.

And meet Riku, a gift from my son. Riku is a character from my favorite video game, Kingdom Hearts.  Everyone in this family loves the Funko figures; AJ has the most by far, but James is closing in on him for a very close 2nd. Me, I’m at the back of the pack with just this one (see what I did there?  Running reference, lol).

And with that, my friends, it has been a very good week.  And even after a night of karaoking, I still managed to get 4 miles in today, with the goal of a 10K tomorrow.  So, yeah… a really good week.

Happy trails!

 

In My Mind’s Eye…

Ever wonder what people are thinking?  Yeah, me too.  The following is kinda like my week in review, per a few of my personal thoughts… things I probably would never say out loud.  Except to James. And sometimes I still am able to surprise him by the off things that run through my brain…

My pie is leaking! Why is my pie leaking?! (The child finished it off regardless.)

  • Where’d all these dishes come from?  I just did the dishes.  Why is the sink full 15 minutes later? No one is ever allowed to eat again.  No more cooking, no more eating, no more dishes. Problem solved.  Oh wait, we can eat out.  That’ll work.  (Didn’t happen, and the sink continues to produce dirty dishes.)
  • Surprise, surprise… another cleavage shot.  I’m so tired of all the cleavage selfies.  Are you in that much need of attention?  Get a dog. (No, really… do these women even know what “self-respect” means?)
  • Why are you coming up behind me so fast?  Are you late?  You should plan your time better. Dude!  You’re too close!  Here, let me slow wayyyy down… (The driver behind me got the message loud and clear and backed off.)
  • B**ch!  Bring that owl to us now before I call the cops!  (Federally protected bird.  The lady was hemming and hawing about not having time to bring it to the rescue center even though it had been in her possession for over 12 hours already with a broken wing.  I didn’t have to use profanity; I flat out begged her and appealed to her sense of decency.  She found someone right away to bring us the owl.  And that’s why I make the big bucks… hahahaha)
  • Dongle.  What a stupid word.  Who came up with that stupid word?  “Hold on while I grab my dongle.”  Seriously?!  (I ordered a bluetooth USB dongle and still can’t get over that stupid term.)
  • I promise to never ever eat fruit and nuts before a run again, if I can just make it through this one without having to crawl.  (I didn’t have to crawl.)
  • Would it be wrong for me to ground my child from his PS4 just so I can use it to play the newest Kingdom Hearts game?  (A video game I’ve played from the moment it was first launched, only for the PlayStation.  I have been waiting for-ev-er for AJ to save up enough money for a PS4 so I can continue to play this game.  He graciously told me I could play it anytime if I stored my credit card number to his PlayStation account… I think I prefer the grounding method.)
