Friday Mishmash

I forgot to mention that last Saturday, when we got our lunch from the gourmet food truck and ate it in the car?  I had a fast-food flashback...the drive-thru and I used to be good friends, and I ate in my car all the time.  Sitting in the parking lot, passing the burger back and forth (we forgot to get a knife to cut it in half) was definitely not the same thing as I never shared my food in the old days (and also did a lot of solo eating), but it was strange to realize that I hardly ever eat in the car anymore.  Also, I don't have nearly the amount of trash in the car, either - coincidence?

My running club is losing one of our coaches - AJ and his wife are moving to California.  While it's a great opportunity for them, we are so sad to see them leave.  Hard to believe that not even a year ago, AJ ran with us in the Seawall Half Marathon...and now he's leaving.  Booooooo!  We had a little goodbye party Wednesday night at Red Mango, where I safely indulged in my Halloween candy craving by actually getting candy toppings - something I never do - but I figured it was safer to get my candy fix outside of the house, rather than try and keep candy here.

We will miss you, AJ!

Yesterday I was getting out of my car when somehow I caught my flip flop and twisted my ankle...yes, THAT ankle.  The pain nearly dropped me to the ground - holy cusswords, it HURT.  And I'd been so careful, too!  One dumb move and that dang thing was hurting and swelling all around - oy.  I took some Motrin and proceeded to ice it like crazy for the rest of the afternoon.  Hopefully I didn't do any damage to it, but ouch, what a pain - literally!!!

*******************

Just before I got my ice pack, I went out to check the mail.  There was a package from Amazon - funny, I didn't remember ordering anything, but with my memory you never know.  Opened it to find a book sent by Lynn - perfect timing, as I needed to spend yet another day off of my ankle.

Why write book?  I eat everything I want anytime.  What big deal???

I made Paco pose with the book - he was primed and ready to go lay on the bed with me - see the rawhide chew in his mouth?  Whenever we leave a room, he has to grab something - a chew or a toy - and take it to where ever we go next.  He's kind like a Boy Scout - always prepared.  Anyway, the book has been a welcome distraction - thanks, Lynn!

Against my better judgement, I joined Pinterest - and while it can be the time-suck that I thought it would be, it's also been the source of many, many hilarious pictures.  So I thought I'd share one each Friday, beginning with this innovative idea turned bad:

I seriously could not stop laughing when I saw the bottom picture - to the point that tears were streaming down my face...mainly because I can totally see that exact scenario happening to me!

 Have a great weekend!
