full of thanks

a bunch of randomness:

• moment of truth monday? ha! i haven't seen a scale since last week. MH has been moving and i am his #1 helper elf. that has GOT to count for some crosstraining. if it also didn't include potato chips and fortys of beer.

• i'm running a turkey trot tomorrow. i'm not nervous or scared or anything like that. i wish i was. where, oh where, has my competitive spirit gone? the good news is if i "run" it in like 40 minutes, i'll certainly beat my time come december!

• 2 canned goods at my local fleet feet equals $10 off a purchase of $75 or more. i need new kicks anyway! i also need new running clothes because i'm getting too big to fit into bored of mine. christmas will be coming early for me.

• for the first time in a decade, i get to spend thanksgiving with my family!! this is a big deal and i'm very happy and very thankful for this. it's been a year since i've moved and it's been an emotional year for sure. many times i thought i had made the wrong decision. but this year has also been filled with so many blessings: the lil monchichi, being back with my brothers and cousins, talking to my mom everyday, a new job, a new boy who thinks i'm pretty swell. i am thankful indeed.

good luck to everyone running tomorrow. happy and safe travels to those making the trek to see loved ones. and eat your hearts out people.
