Sending all the hugs and kisses in the world your way!

Just a little snapshot of some tops-of-buildings from my walk home yesterday.

I hope everyone eats lots of chocolates and heart shaped food today (I know I will)!

Muziki Monday

In the past four days I have logged 20.5 miles on the treadmill. As I've said before, I don't mind the treadmill and often feel like I work harder on indoor runs when I can control the pace/incline (and when I am not constantly distracted by the sights and sounds of the outdoors). That being said, I do require music to listen to while on the treadmill. I have a couple of favorite Pandora stations that I migrate towards but every once and awhile I'll get hooked on a station and have a string of really great treadmill runs as a result. Enter: "Today's Hits Radio". My current obsession. Especially, this song. Happy Monday.

NEMO Updates

Friday - 2 pm

Saturday - 8 am

The blizzard dropped 17 inches of snow overnight (20+ in other parts of Boston) and it's still coming down out there! We're on our second episode of Glee (thanks Hulu plus), knitting needles in hand and I am about to have a third waffle. I'm not sure I will make it out of my PJ's today, but it might be too soon to tell.

Happy shoveling!

Stormin'

The much anticipated blizzard has arrived! Winds are picking up, snow has been falling for a couple of hours now and there is a driving ban in effect as of 4 pm today. While I was very excited for the early dismissal from work today, I am not looking forward to shoveling 2 - 3 feet of snow tomorrow.

After a slight anxiety attack that we weren't going to have enough snacks to last us the weekend, I ran over to the corner store and bought all the chips, salsa, cheese, Annie's, frozen pizza and waffles I could find. A few too many dollars later and I am feeling a little bit better about the possibility of being cutoff for the next couple of days. The only question now is how I am going to run a "half marathon race" in 2 feet of snow tomorow!? There is a very strong chance that I will end up swapping that for a shorter treadmill run in the morning. I am pretty sure that a couple of hard miles + some solid hours of shoveling = half marathon race. Right?

Happy blizzarding all, stay safe!

Black and white weekend

This past weekend was jam packed with lots of parties, running and relaxation. 

Andddd here are the only three photos I managed to take.

Some activities that didn't make it onto film included a potluck with friends, 20 mile training run, Dogwood Cafe brunch, Girl Scout Cookies, Valentine's Day card making, BBQ chicken dip eating, Target shopping, and Tasty Burger eating.

Is it Friday yet?
