Awkward Moments... the crust of (my) life

I used to love Awkward Moments! Truly they are fantastic, as long as I am not involved and can watch as a bystander or by chance facilitate one, it used to be the bread to my butter. Now it's... well it's awkward. I'd like to think that this attitude change occurred because I am a much better person but I think in reality they started happening to me more, which is not near as fun.
Before you all get judgy judgy you know you love them to, like the "I don't remember your name so I'll wait for someone to say it then I'll talk to you" and when no one does the "Oh Hey...you". Or how about when you see some women with her pants hanging half off her behind and something akin to dental floss coming out. "Listen lady buy a belt, panty lines are not the devil, what we just saw was."
Of course this morning when I had by far the most awkward thing happen ever... I forgot the Dancer's birthday... Not the oh it's your birthday I didn't call, try... oh I sent a birthday text like 5 days early and was super excited because for once I was doing the whole birthday thing right and the text was like a billion pages long. And in response I got you know it's not my birthday right? Son of a biscuit burner!
So in honor of the awkward turtle I am giving an awkward turtle award to myself. And to the dancer I give my sincerest BFF apologies! I'm the worst!

Morning Runs

SD is one of the most crazy places I have ever lived. It has tons of people all the time and drivers can be insane. It is pure chaos a lot of the time and it has become kind of fun! And then there are those mornings when I actually get up and do my run and it's calm and quiet. There is a stillness only interrupted by the sound of my feet hitting the pavement or the waves crashing onto the shore (and every so often me blowing my nose or hockin' a lugie. TMI? probably but you love it) Everything that I get worried or stressed about just melts away and my day has a fresh new beginning!



I never take pictures while I run but today after I had finished I just had to capture the sun rising and the waves breaking! Gorgeous!

We're couch eaters

Lately I have had this desire to have a party, not some foofy souriee but a fun exciting new type of party but here is the problem our place is kinda small, and when I throw a party I like it big! Not invite people I've never seen but big like no skimping on the invitations everybody invited type of thing. So here is my idea we'll see if I actually do it-
Favorite things health party... ok so I saw this idea on Pinterest ( and I actually want to do the things I see) so the party is basically where everyone brings their favorite things like 5 of the same thing and people get to go home with something new to try. Cute Idea right? Well I wanted to do it better, I want everyone to bring something that they use to stay healthy or their favorite health "thing", ex. like a smoothie recipe, fav workout, running route, vegetable, side dish, motivation ... the list is practically endless. Here is the problem... where the heck would I put everyone? So until I figure out the location the idea is on hold. But fear not I will follow through or so we hope right? So for now I will leave you with this motivation

It cracks me up everytime... mainly because on one of my training runs I look over in this store window and this is actually what I looked like Hooray! (again sarcastic font is needed)

hiatus... the best word for I have been super lazy

After quite a long hiatus for no other reason than I do not handle school well, I figure I should be back for awhile. I have been inspired over the past few months from all the blogs I read, and I really want to take this blogging thing by the horns!
As a quick update for all the family and oh so loyal followers:
School is done (until the middle of January)- rocked it like a rocking chair
Busy Season starts today- hooray (they really need a sarcastic font for blogs)
I ran a marathon... 26.2 eat my shorts


So with all this inspiration from different blogs (see blogs I follow to the left) I have been thinking about starting my own you know separate from our family blog, but that is a lot of work and let's be honest I don't keep up with this one well. So I am just doing a makeover. Hope you love it!
So here's to you 2012 for new resolve to blog more!
Hope you like hearing from us because we're back... again... man I suck! :)
