The holiday season has officially begun! I have been so busy this month and it's only a week in. This weekend I haven't even had time to relax.
Friday night I went to my work Christmas party and didn't get home until very late. Then we had a family get together on Saturday. Today I went to a cookie swap and missed a lot of football.
Although it has been busy I wouldn't trade it. This time of year is always busy but it's so much fun to see family and friends!
I kinda slaked on my workouts this past week but I hope to get back into the swing of things this week. I have lots of cookies at the house from the swap today, so I need to be good this week!
What fun get togethers have you been to so far this season?

Bad Day
I woke up this morning with good intentions of having a great day. Unfortunately the day didn't work out that way.
Without too much complaining on the matter, work was terrible. I tried so hard to keep my positivity up, even tried to give myself a pep talk in the bathroom mirror. Nothing worked.
I feel so blessed to have a job and kept reminding myself that today. I just couldn't wait to get home tonight and relax.
Hopefully tomorrow is a better day.
What do you do when you're having a bad day?

Family Tradition
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and a great day with family and friends!
We started off the day watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. This has been a tradition every since I was a kid. My favorite part is the Radio City Rockettes. I also wanted to be one when I was younger. I ended up not being tall enough though, but a girl can still dream! Once the parade was over we got ready to leave the house.
We had dinner at my parent's house and ate way too much! It was so nice to have a day off and just relax.
Every year we go to the movies after dinner. To make if fair, we each write a movie down on a piece of paper and then my mom draws one. Whichever movie gets drawn is the one we see. This is a fun little tradition that we've had for many years. This year we ended up seeing Last Vegas. It was really funny so it wasn't a bad pick.
After the movie my sister came to our house and we all took a nap before heading out to do a little shopping. We got to our local mall at 1:00 am and I was surprised to see that most of the stores were open. Usually it's just the bigger stores. I was hoping to find a Kitchen-Aid Stand Mixer but really didn't find the deals I was looking for. I did get some Blu-Rays at really low prices, which is always good.
After the mall we swung by Wal-Mart but didn't really find anything great. We had some food and then headed home. We didn't get to be until after 4:00 am and boy was I tired. We ended up sleeping in quite late, which was to be expected.
In the afternoon a took out the Christmas decorations and put up the tree. Hubby goes bowling on Friday nights so this is my time to get the house ready for the season. I also have a Christmas movie marathon while I put the tree up.
Now it's time to relax and enjoy the rest of the weekend!
Stay safe and enjoy your weekend!
What are some of your family's traditions? Do you go Black Friday shopping? When do you start decorating your house?

Happy Thanksgiving
I hope that everyone is having a great day giving thanks and spending the day with their families!
The hubby and I will be spending the day with family and then heading out to the movies.
This is a tradition that we have had for many years, since before we were married. My sister and mom usually come with us too. We each pick a movie and write it on a piece of paper and one of us draws it out of a hat. So I don't know what we are seeing yet. This is one of my favorite traditions that we have.
My hubby, sister and I will also probably go black Friday shopping tomorrow but we like to spend today with family.
Have a great day! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Lazy Sunday
Since I completed my long run yesterday, I decided that I would take it easy today. Hubby went off to a bowling tournament so I have been catching up on housework and resting these legs.
I had a little bit of a geek fest this morning. I was up super early so I decided to watch Iron Man 3 and then moved on to Star Trek and Star Trek Into Darkness. Now it's football time!!
I have also been working on my crocheting. I had started an afghan a while ago but I tend to not work on any crocheting in the summer because it's too hot. But now that it's getting cooler I can start working on it again!!
Happy Sunday all!!!

Running Update
So I have been severely lacking on my blogging!!
I have been busy training for the half marathon like crazy!! Tomorrow will be my 11 mile run. I can't even believe that I will be attempting it. It will be the farthest that I have gone. Ever. It's unbelievable to me. This has been a long journey for me and I can't believe that race day is almost here.
I also have some new running swag that I got this week. I stopped buy my local running shop and picked up a new pair of running shoes. I have always been a Nike girl but I thought that I should try something new. I am so happy that I decided to go and speak to a professional. I found out that I have been wearing the WRONG size shoe!! Can you believe it?? I have been having some foot pain and had assumed that it was because I had increased my milage, but now I know it was because of my shoes. By the way I ended up getting a pair of Brooks and I love them!!
I also put in an order on Sunday at running skirts.com. I ended up getting a red athletic skirt, with white polka dots, and a pair of green compression socks. They are so cute and I will be making more purchases from them. I placed the order on Sunday and I received the package on Thursday. Such fast shipping!
So wish me luck on the long run tomorrow!
