Snippets

I had every intention of running this morning while the kids were at school, but no go.  These past few nights insomnia has been in the house, I think I slept three hours last night.  It's dark and rainy today, so you can see where this is going.

Mike and I had a great night out for our Anniversary, it was cool enough out that I wore my tall black leather boots and wrap dress, which was a nice change from jeans and tees.  I ran into a running group friend at the Irish pub where we met up for our training runs back in March, he hurt his ankle and hasn't run for five weeks, so we swapped injury stories.  Mike and I exchanged gifts in the car (so romantic), mine was a $30 itunes gift card for new running tunes, and I gave him.....socks.  Well, he needed them.

I can't stop eating roasted veggies.  We've been making cauliflower about once a week, last night Mike made two pans of roasted butternut squash with shallots, and no joke, I ate one pan by myself before we even had dinner.  We were in Wegman's yesterday, and they had itty baby cabbages wrapped in plastic, you just throw it in the microwave to cook it. 

This gives you a better idea of how small it is.

I think my insomnia has something to do with my Mom finally closing on the house I grew up in, and she's retiring tomorrow.  I decided not to go to my 20 Year High School reunion next month, I feel like it's too soon to go back home, when home isn't there anymore, and that will definitely make me sad. 

I had a fun afternoon with my friend Kelly on Friday, we took the kids to Pratt's Falls for a hike and to soak in the beautiful weather.  It was so nice to just gab the time away, and the kids had a ball looking for fossils and salamanders.

When I got home I had a package waiting for me, for an upcoming review and giveaway.....Eliza just loves the color.....shocker.
