I can't believe it! I'm so excited to win the NIKE band! Thankyouthankyouthankyou. I am just now getting to a computer and I actually heard that i had won it from a comment from Tish. Do you want to bring it to me when we meet in Santa Cruz? Then you could explain how it works :))

I love that whole outfit. I don't think its too matchy at all. I'm interested in how Leslie did the bag--is it lined? I guess I'll go on over to Leslie's blog and investigate.

Oooh. Thanks again. I am really excited to put some oomph in my 'running career' with the Nike plus.

I LOVE the whole wheat orzo. I bought that brand on amazon.com because I couldn't find it in my store. It cooks fast and is yummy. Try it with chopped tomatoes and chopped green onions sauteed in a smidgeon of olive oil, add a handfull of spinach leaves at the very end for a few seconds and then mix into the cooked orzo.

LOL at your pop chips conversation. :) I bought some chips the other day (can't rememer the name) but they remind me of Munchos. Did you ever have those? So good!

Glad RB is doing everything you tell him to do. Sometimes men have to be trained.

Such a pretty outfit. It looks great on you.

I used to have a similar haircut as yours and I'm thinking of going back. My long hair just turns into a frizzy mess during this hot, sticky weather. At least if it were shorter I'd have a styled frizzy mess.

Good luck on your race! I have complete confidence that you'll do terrific!

I read on someone else's blog about whole wheat orzo, didn't even know it existed - must find it now!

Your pasta dish looks amazing - love the Frank's hot sauce of course!

You look so cute in that work outfit - your right, Leslie's bag fits perfectly with it!

Happy 4th. Have a great weekend.
As for the pop chips, my hub bought the Bar B Que ones and I didn't like the flavor, but have had the plain ones: CRACK!

Cute outfit!

Like the outfit! And I always match my earrings with my outfit. To tell you the truth: even my underwear fits with my outfit :lol: I've got sets in various colors.

I always use a bit of butter because it's not good to leave out all the fat and because butter has vitamines in it which we need.

Good luck on your run Sunday but you will do great!

I've never done marijuana or pop chips. Most likely I would become more addicted to the pop chips.

2010-07-02T09:50:46.849-05:00

What is weird is I was just having a conversation this morning and someone mentioned Pearl couscous. I have never had it but now I am intrigued! We recently got a all natural/healthy grocery store (which for AL is a big deal!) and I am loving it! I am going to look for the Pearl couscouse there!I am now also going to be on the lookout for Pop chips!

I had to completly cut out chips from my life in every form! they are my trigger, now I don't even crave them!

Every time I see a different one of those Leslie bags I think, I should have put that one in my comment! They are all so gorgeous.

Fun runs ARE fun because there's no pressure from a bib, chip, etc. Besides, you have the magnificent Rickey Bobby to tell you how you did.

Pretty soon, I'm going to post a recipe I've been messing around with for a breakfast couscous. My next option was to try a bigger couscous grain and I'm thinking your pearls might just be the trick.

Hope your holiday weekend is filled with fun Shelley. I'll be anxiously awaiting your race report!

Butter does make everything better, doesn't it??

Holiday runs are so fun. I don't know why, but they are. Maybe because they are less serious? Turkey trot, goblin gallop, whatever.

Want to swing up here and run a 5K on July 24th? They have a serious swag bag for it :D

You look adorable in that outfit with the sweater :D

That bag and that shirt really do go perfectly together. What a cute outfit!

1. Yummy pasta salad! I am hitting the farmer's market on Saturday with girlfriends and am on the hunt for tasty salads to make after. This will be perfect, thank you.

2. Ohhh, I love that whole casual look, and the way the blue fades of the shirt are echoed in the bag. Well done, my friend.

2010-07-02T06:10:15.438-05:00

That is such a fabulous look, repeat or no. Good luck with your race this weekend. Love your bag. That Leslie is one talented woman.

Happy 4th, Shelley!

Love the outfit repeat:) Cool handbag and earrings. Hope Alex is gone by race day. Hate when it storms and ruins a good holiday.

Glad I gave up chips thanks for the warning on those ones.

Hope your race goes off without a hitch if its just raining maybe they will still have it:)

Happy Fourth Of July!

Chips as "a gateway drug, like marijuana?"

LOL! Better join Chips Anonymous quick! :)
