It's Spring!!!

what a lovely saturday morning she is having, laying up against me :)


Ok, in my head it's spring.  btw, spring and fall are my favorite seasons, i could care less about the others....

anywho, i'm feeling so much better!!! i guess all i needed was some good long sleep, wednesday night i slept 9 hours, thursday night i slept 9 hours, and friday night i slept 9 hours.  so i guess since i hate running/working out in the afternoon (god knows what's going to happen if i get an early morning job later on...might become a caffeine addict.....) i'll just have to start going to bed earlier so i can at least get 8 hours of sleep, maybe later on i'll work on getting that 9 hours, probably not though since i have only a couple more months of this death class.

yesterday i finally painted my nails, it had been a couple days that i went with no nail polish, and i was going crazy!! guess i just love color too much? anywho, i was digging through my collection, trying to find something that hadn't been brought out/used in a while and i found this:

not my normal brand!!

makes me feel like spring is in the air :)  i wish lol.  it's coming though!!  i think i'm going to bring out all the spring clothing and nail polish....maybe...it's suppose to rain later this week so i'm not so sure about that idea. anyways! this color is called Lilacism by Essie.  Now i'm not normally an Essie fan but before OPI brought out their new collection (Euro, just came out!) i couldn't found any color like this! i just don't like how it applies.  it's never even.  not sure why, maybe it's me lol?

a couple of posts ago i wrote about how i was happy my mom doing good from her surgery.  the past couple of weeks me and my dad have been taking care of her, he would take care of her while i was at school, then i would take over when i got home to give him a break and get other things done, hence why i was gone from the blogging world for so long.  without going into details about it and everything, i will tell you about some of it.

soooo, here we go,  her surgery was suppose to take 3 1/2 hours to 5 hours, 6 at the max.  well 5 hours goes by and nothing, 6 hours goes by and still nothing, finally 9 hours and she is finally done with surgery.  needless to say, it was a very emotional/stressful day for everybody.  she is not finally feeling better, getting around the house better,  can't do everything yet but it's better than before and i'm just happy she's here with us and nothing more serious happened.  

the turdy little animal was dying to cuddle with my mom every night,  that's just what she does when your not feeling good, but now she's back to cuddling with me and destroying  playing in my room:

trying to get my attention

not sure what she's doing...

she is now playing with invisible toys (or little friends?)

she is quite the entertainment lol especially in the early morning.

guess what today is!!!!

my brother's birthday!!! he turns 23 today, sad i don't get to spend it with him,  but once i move down where he is, we'll be able to!

so good!!

so addicting to!! i think everyone should try cookie butter, it's like a ginger peanut butter, minus the peanuts, and its cinnamony and sweet.  too good!!

so let's talk running....yeah, i ran 15 miles today.  i did it all on the treadmill since i forgot to charge my garmin.  shame shame on me.  not sure how long it took me, i didn't look at the time when the treadmill cut me off at 10.27 miles.  i just pulled the magnet off and reconnected and ran another 5 miles.  i'm embarrassed to say this, but i don't want you guys to think i'm super human and ran this no problem.  no, this run was shitty, i hurt all over, and the pain started the moment i started running.  i had to take multiple breaks and stretch and drink a lot of water.  i never thought weights would make running long distance this hard.  hopefully in a couple of weeks i'll be use to my new workout (working out one part of the body each day-more like every other day).  i love working out my whole body now, makes me feel great, feel strong, allows me to go harder on each individual workout.  just hope it stops affecting my runs lol dammit.  i love running long distance.  and i've had a lot of people tell me you can't lift and run long distance, but being the stubborn butt that i am, i'm determined to prove people wrong and make it work.  yeah, that's the only thing that kept me going today, plus i really wanted to get this in, wanted to on thursday but just couldn't get past the soreness.  at least i knew what was going to hit me today lol

and my prize to me for finishing the run was this: 

banana chocolate smoothie :) the best "milkshake" out there
