Mickey Says Relax!

And that's exactly what I plan to do as soon as we get going Saturday morning!  Although, no relaxing yet and I'm quickly posting this at almost midnight Thursday night with one more day of packing, cleaning, entertaining, etc. before we leave.  My in-laws have been visiting with us all week so I've had no time to be on the computer although I've been reading everyone's blog posts on my Crackberry.  (Still haven't figured out how to post comments with that thing. It just won't let me!)  Anyhow, you guys have been writing your little hearts out this week. I'm lovin' it!

Just wanted to quickly thank AJH, Heidi and Katye for some fun awards!  Heidi sent me this fantastic Sunshine Award that gave me warm fuzzies all over. Thanks Heidi!  Wish you were running Red Rock with me! :(

AJH nominated me for this Gorgeous Blogger Award.  Too adorable for words. Love it! Thanks AJH!  You rock as much as age groups! ;)

To accept the Gorgeous Blogger Award, I need to list 6 things about myself.  So, here goes. 

1. Seems all my favorite posts are the ones that include lists.  LOVE the "random-things-about-me" posts! Probably because of all the weird things that people admit. Makes me feel normal. 
2. It's so strange to be in my thirties. (I'm 32.)  I don't really think about it too much but occasionally I get a glance of a new wrinkle or a gray hair (I've got one total...and it's in my eyebrow of all places!) and it kinda freaks me out.  I guess I don't really have a grasp on it yet.  Just hoping to age gracefully.
3. I just bought 4 shirts yesterday.  Got them all home. Tried them on again.  And took them all back to the store today.  Not really sure why I bought them in the first place.
4. I am SO jealous of all of you who buy multiple pairs of running shoes!  I really need a new pair and have been putting it off because I haven't wanted to spend the money.  It just hurts my soul a little to cough up $100 for a pair of shoes. But I will.  And soon.
5. I worked at Old Navy in Orlando one summer and I dressed up as the Old Navy dog for a celebrity all-star soccer game at Disney Wide World of Sports. Woof!
6. My mailbox is falling apart and needs new screws. Has for the past 4 years. One of these days...

So, there you go! Thanks again, AJH. That was fun!

And last but not least, Katye nominated me for the Honest Scrap Award.  To accept, I must give you these scraps of honesty.  10 Bests.

1) Best Meal Ever: There's no way to chose.  I've had lots of fab meals in my years.  Although, I have eaten at the Melting Pot a couple of times and that place never disappoints.  Fondue for two!

2) Best Sleep Ever: Any sleep I ever got when my boys were babies.  Oh man, I don't miss the sleep deprivation.

3) Best Cup of Coffee: I don't drink coffee.  Although, I sometimes wish they'd make a coffee scented candle because it smells SO good!

4) Best Romantic Moment: When Thai Guy proposed.  He is not really the romantic type but he surprised me at work (Gold's Gym) and proposed in front of everyone. Such a sweet memory!

5) Best Childhood Memory Moment: Any family vacation. My parents took us to Disney World nearly every summer from the time I was a baby.  Those were great times.

6) Best Moment of Your Life:  Marrying Thai Guy.  Best moment. Ever. Well, and the moments my boys were born.  Now those are amazing moments! Meeting the little guys after carrying them for 9 months.  Thrilling.

7) Best Moment of Revenge: Hmmm, nothing comes to mind.  Just have never been big on revenge, I guess.

8) Best Thing That Someone Has Done for You:  Loved me unconditionally.
9) Best Thing You Have Ever Done for Someone Else: Loved them unconditionally.

10) Best Life Changing Moment: I want to say finishing my first marathon but I really think that the best life changing moment was actually finishing my first 5k.  It was that moment that gave me some faith in myself, in being able to achieve my goals.  It was that moment that made me want to be a lifelong runner.

Thanks Katye! Love your energy girl! Wish I had just a smidgen of it. You are amazing! :)

I'll be MIA for the next week but I'll be back with a Red Rock Canyon recap soon!  I also have some really exciting running related news that I can't wait to share!

Nite all!  Better go put this young'un to bed.  Ha ha! I'm such a nerd.
