Day 124: Sat Dec 14th A Sweet Day

Day One Hundred Twenty-four: A Sweet Day

yuck.

Air quality is extremely poor. Run was good, though I think that the air is the reason the back of my throat is irritated.  Afterwards took Siena for her annual Christmas shopping w/Mama day. We first stopped at Starbucks to use the gift card I won at my work meeting / craft day yesterday.  Siena tried her first Gouda cheese, bacon and egg Starbucks breakfast sandwich. To say she loved it is an understatement. After a strong cup of Christmas brew black coffee we headed back to our favorite bakery and indulged in some yummy treats. Of course we didn't eat them all, just couldn't decide - hence the diverse selection.  Found ourselves lost in time at the neatest little antique / vintage shop with excellent prices called Needful Things. We had so much fun exploring the shop and came away with several fun necklaces, bracelets for Izzy, vintage colorful glass candy bowl and glasses that I love and other treasures. It was a fun day! 

Day 47: Sat Sept 28th - Running @ Work

Day Forty-seven:
  Quite a productive day. I slept in a bit as I was beyond tired early this morning. So I mixed my running in with work and delivered my entire complex newsletters within 27 minutes... which included going up and down multiple flights of stairs.  It was much harder than I expected it to be. I had to be careful descending since I have a tendency to trip up and down stairs and I didn't want to fall down the concrete steps. That would have hurt!   So an easy-hard-quick-fun-run kind of day!

my festive office flag.... :)

Day 42: Mon Sept 23rd - Mama Day

*I better check my draft box when I think I've published a page... it appears that on a few occasions it didn't actually publish on that day.
Day Forty-two:
Had another light run today. My daughter ran with me on this 'surprise Monday'. Her and I had a "Mama day".  For explanation, this means that once or twice a school year I surprise one of them with a day home with me (on my day off). We spend the day together cooking and doing fun projects. After our little run we made chocolate chip pumpkin bread.  She did a great job! It was super good warm out of the oven with small amount of butter melting on top.  She is actually learning to cook with me as a part of a school learning project. We are making a recipe book with fun memories and photos, which she will then present to the class in a couple months.  So the 'day off' was educational and yummy too!
