Christmas Eve, wish list, happy national eggnog day

l First, to all my fellow eggnog lovers, happy national eggnog day!!! I like eggnog plain, but I really like it with buttershots in it.

My Christmas wish list to Santa or anyone else who loves me

Garmin forerunner 220.  I have always used my handy IPhone app to track my runs, and it sucks. I want this watch because it is like a personal trainer.  It will definitely help me with my pace.

Starbucks gift cards, need I say more

A new pair of diamond stud earrings. I had to sell my other ones a few years ago, which I regret now.

I have pretty much everything a person could ask for, health, happy children, lifestyle that allows me to stay home and not work.  

Christmas Eve has always been a big deal to me, because it was my fathers favorite day of the year.  We fill ourselves full of finger foods then relax...wait for Santa.  This year I have made pigs in a blanket, spinach artichoke dip, deviled eggs, meatballs, cheese sticks, Texas fries and miscellaneous dips. Then have an adult eggnog and call it a day.

I wish everybody a happy Christmas!!!!

Free Friday-Happy Halloween

This morning Academy Sports opened their doors in Cordova!!!!  For the first 150 customers they issued a voucher to win a gift card. I woke up at 0500 hrs and went to Academy Sports, where I was the 10th person!!!!  When they let us in we went and drew gift cards. I got $25.00. Stocked up on Nuun hydration tablets. I will be using a lot of Nuun while training for my Ironman.

Halloween officially starts the holiday season.  I am ready for the trick or treaters. Thank God my children are not as bad as my brother and I were.  I remember waxing cars, running to the same houses twice, and eggs on Halloween😁

I finally taught myself to flip over eggs without using any utensils. As Julia Child once said while she tried to flip eggs, "you've got to have courage in your convictions."  My favorite movie is Julie & Julia.  It is about cooking and blogging two of my favorite things. I have two copies just in case one gets scratched.

Have my workout plans for the weekend: biking and running.
