A few random things

 

                                            I definitely needed a pick me up this morning.

 

Last night I made homemade spaghetti sauce.  It was so good I basically just drank the sauce and left the pasta. I used a large can of crushed tomatoes, butter, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, basil, oregano, salt, pepper and a pinch of cayenne. Butter makes everything better!!!

 

I am pretty bummed that the Real Housewives of Orange County is over until next season and we still do not know if Brooks actually has cancer.  Vicki is not coming back next season so I am not sure if we will ever know.  I think he is lying.

 

I love feeding the birds. It is relaxing to watch such delicate creatures eat seeds.  It is always a treat when a new type of bird swoops in makes an appearance.  This week I had a Northern Flicker stop by, is he cute.

 

My November issue of Runner's World arrived in the mailbox, I am sure this will be read by the end of the day.

 

Have you ever been overwhelmed by trying to read, comment, and create blogs that are interesting enough for others to read?  Blogging is a lot harder than I imagined it being. I have no intention of quitting.  I think I may need to plan ahead as to what I am going to blog because I just sit down and type a bunch of randomness. 

I would by lying to say I do not want to go to Pyros for lunch and have another salad.  I can't get that salad out of my head.  I will definitely be taking a picture to share.

 

What have you been craving lately?

Do you watch the RHOC? 

What is the latest exciting mail you received?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Five things I did this weekend

 

Finally watched Quantico, which is a really great show. I cannot wait for the next episode.

 

Celebrated a huge milestone with my car.  She officially has over 200,000 miles on her and is going strong.  This car has had two people learn to drive in it. Moved more times than I care to say. She has taken a lot of abuse from three boys. Has been my home on more than one occasion. I love my car. Sorry for the blurry photo!!

 

Saturday after taking a double spin class I came home and cuddled with Prissy for the remainder of the day.  It was so nice and she really enjoyed it.

 

 

I finally tried Pyro's Fire Fresh Pizza.  Only I had a salad and Zachary had a pizza which looked delicious.  You get a huge bowl of what appeared to be spring greens and then walk down a line and select your toppings.  It is not like a traditional salad bar.  They had roasted potato cubes, roasted onion, roasted tomatoes, a large selection of various meats.  I made mine with black olives, roasted onions, roasted potatoes, mixed cheese, and ranch dressing. It came with two triangle garlic rolls which were ok.  pyrospizza.com

 

Made the best brownies ever, not from a box.  I like my brownies cake like.  Not to firm or dense. 

Sunday was my rest day for the week.  I have 10 mile runs planned each day this week and then double spin on Saturday.  Running is getting "easier" again and mostly pain free.  I still feel a little twinge of pain in my calf every now and then but it is bearable. 

I hope everybody had a great weekend.  Congrats to everyone who raced.
