Just a little touchup

It doesn’t hurt to remove the ol’ toenail polish every once and awhile. You might be surprised at what you find.

Oooh! A black toenail!

Makes me still feel like a runner even despite my injury.

I think I’ll let him fall off on his own. Then paint him bright pink.

All I Want for Christmas…..

(you know, other than world peace and time with family & friends and all that jazz)

Pretty please…..

My cell phone is so scratched I can’t even read the screen in some places. And my current contract is up in 5 days.  Plus, the iPhone is just so pretty.  And necessary, of course.  I need to track the buses and the weather in Seattle, Idaho, Kansas and know where the nearest coffee shop is when I’m lost and find a recipe for dinner when I’m standing in the grocery store aisle and…..the possibilities are endless!

Sure, I want to fit in with the ‘cool people’ and have the newest gadget.  Sometimes I’m the only one who doesn’t have their nose buried in the colorful screen, tuning out the rest of the world; and I just feel silly.  But really, when was the last time I got a shiny new toy—aside from engagement and wedding rings— just for myself???   

So Santa (and elves), if you think I’ve been good this year, maybe you can give me something fun to play with.  (And use to call people, of course.)  I promise not to buy any silly apps that cost more than $2.99.

Just one request.  Stay away from Wal-Mart.  

Gross.  

You’ll only save a measly $2.  Less than the cost of MonkeyBall.

Lazy Saturday

6th December

I didn’t wake up until 10:00 today.  It felt weird. But nice.  Not setting an alarm to get up early and go run.  

I feel like I’m coming down with a cold, so I think that was part of the late wakeup.  I piddled around the house and read through a cookbook, looking for recipe ideas for when my parents will be here next week.  Finally decided I had to go for a run, get some fresh air and clear my head (for other reasons).  

Nothing like a relaxed run, just me and my shoes, touring around Seattle.  I did a 4.5 mile run, down to Puget Sound, took a break to sit on the rocks and take in the scenery.  I normally run through the Sculpture Park, but don’t stop to actually sit and relax.  I finished my run through the market and downtown.  Which were CRAZY with holiday shoppers— i certainly could’ve picked a different route, but it was kinda fun dodging people.  (And I secretly enjoy the weird looks I get from people wondering who in their right mind would run through the crowded sidewalks.)

Speaking of shopping….mine has not begun. Or even been thought about much.  I’m still not sure how to go about my gifting since we’re not going home to Kansas this year.  

It’s a lovely, sunny day out, so I figure I should finally shower and go wander around our bustling city.
