tgif!

The week is over.
(How is it Friday already?)
Here's a little (ok, probably long and rambling...) review of my week.

Last Friday we went to an auction to support a local Catholic school. One item up for auction - a birthday party for 8 kids at the local fire station. We bid and won. Max's 5th birthday party - planned! I haven't had a party for him the past two years. I figure I would NOT have a party while I still can. ;-) The poor guy has a January 10th birthday, so it's hard to think of planning and more gifts so soon after Christmas.

Remember how I said I was going to run last weekend? Didn't happen. Didn't want to.
I haven't put on my running shoes since last Thursday. And Sunday is the Shamrock in downtown Portland.
5k here I come...ready or not. (not...)

I was in a funk all week. And now I've had a headache for a day and a half or so. Nothing awful, but just low-grade enough to be annoying. Tylenol, Aleve and Ibuprofen have been my companions the past couple of days. Thank God for pharmaceuticals.

Because of above-mentioned funk, I haven't picked up my camera much at all. So, I don't have any picture to share today.
I'm feeling very uninspired...
SO, I took the leap and signed-up for Tracey Clark's Picture Inspiration!
I'm committed now. (Remember my One Word for the year is cultivate...haven't done very well so far.)
I am behind two weeks so I have my work cut-out for me this weekend.

And if money grew on trees I'd sign-up for Camp Shutter Sisters.
It looks like an amazing good time!...a girl can dream, right?

And last but not least - I got a package in the mail that I'd been waiting for today. YAY!
And I had a good little chuckle when the dog "goosed" the mailman while I was signing for the package.
(That's my girl. It's the little things...tee hee...)

Happy Friday friends!
xo,

I will try and find you on Picture Inspiration! Fun! And way to go on the bday win. I hate planning bday parties so I am deeply envious. Have a good weekend!

You will do great with your 5K! Is this your first race? Races are so fun, it's amazing the energy you'll have with everyone running around you! I ran my first 5K about a year and a half ago and am thinking of doing a half marathon this fall. And I am NOT a runner! The thought still terrifies me! :-)

Tracey, I think I found you on Picture Inspiration. I have yet to do any of the assignments. ACK! It'll be fun though. :-)I so despise planning parties...that's why he's only had 1st and 2nd bday parties.

Stacey, It's maybe my 7th or 8th race. I did a bunch last year with my husband and a friend. Only 5ks. Wait - my friend and I did attempt a 10k and ended-up walking most of it. Disaster! So, I'm sticking with 5ks. I do love the energy of a large group of people running. It's (dare I say it?) fun. Do you run often? Go for the half!! You can do it! It's a great goal to set. :-) (I was going to send you an email, but didn't see it on your blog.)
