Victory

Saturday night (actually really early Sunday morning) I finished my first 5K!  And Springer kicked his last year's time's butt.  I'm not going to lie and say it was fun, but when this photo was snapped, I did have quite a feeling of accomplishment and extreme sweaty-ness.

aarti's first show!

The Next Food Network Star revealed the winner a couple of weeks ago, and it is AARTI (my favorite)!  Hooray!

In honor of the new FN star, tonight we cooked Sloppy Bombay Joes, the first recipe Aarti made on her new show Aarti Party.  They were fantastic!

For more deliciousness, you can watch Aarti on Sunday afternoons at noon on Food Network.

Midnight Express

If:

1.  You live in the Columbus vicinity (but if you live somewhere else, you can stay with us)

2.  You can stay up until midnight (it will seriously be a struggle for me)

3.  The idea of running 3.1 miles does not seem entirely overwhelming (again a struggle - but I THINK I CAN!  I THINK I CAN!)

Then:

You should run the Midnight Express!  It will be fun!  BBQ sandwich and sweet tea at the finish line... you can't beat that!

miss you

For some reason I really miss my siblings tonight.  I'm not sure why... maybe because I've been thinking that the next time I go "home" none of us will actually full-time live there.  That's so weird.  I wish for just a little while we could all live in the same place again.  Split up between Columbus, Athens, Milledgeville, and Atlanta stinks sometimes.  I miss you guys.

Watching this made me feel better though...
