I'm very jealous of Harry.

I got to show off Lola at work yesterday.  All of my students wondered what was up with her funny handlebars.  

I actually took her with me so that I could get new tires put on her after work.  You see, the racing/very expensive tires that came with her are SO TIGHT that I can't even get them off by myself.  This worried the snot out of me.  All I could think of was being out for a long ride and getting a flat, for which I couldn't fix.  No matter how many clips I used, I could NOT get either tire off.  So I bought more expensive tires that I could wrestle off if need be.

Lunch was most satisfactory -------------> Amy's cheddar burrito with brown rice and quinoa...a lot of it.  The way God made it, I reckon.

When I got home, I was FAMISHED.  I must have eaten about a pound of Stacy's pita chips and hummus.  #NoRegrets

Can you tell I'm stupid-excited?  

 Harry has classes Monday evenings, so I have the house all to myself!  This also means that we're what we call "OYO" = "On Your Own" for dinner.  I decided it was time to bust into the case of Annie's mac we got at Costco.

Side note:  I <3 Costco.

Some of this just before bed means I have sweet dreams.  I get the hankerin' to re-read HP books during Autumn/Winter.:)

Did you see THIS on Runner's World?

I'll be the first to admit that I'm not a pretty runner.  I think Becky@ Olives 'n' Wine and I had this conversation during a run together last year.  I've only ever gotten a couple of kind of nice race photos; for the most part, I either look like I'm sneezing or I look like I'm 16 seconds from death.  I now know I'm not alone, thanks to Runner's World and their weird, runner-esque sense of humor.:)

Harry doesn't ever have bad race photos.  He has run over 100 races, everything from 5K to marathon, and has a HUGE photo file that includes amazing photos of him rocking them out.  I'm super jealous of him in that aspect.

Here's ONE decent picture from a recent race that Harry and I sort of ran together...

And exactly one turnover later...

So, I'm looking forward to a new goal of getting an AMAZING race photo at a race soon.  I don't care if I have to scope out the photogs before the race starts.  Gratefulness brings smiling, and smiling makes for AMAZING race photos.:)

Something cool I saw the other day ~~~~~~~~~~~~> Some really crafty pumpkins (HERE).

Couples friends:  Do you get the house to yourself regularly?  

Do you make crafty pumpkins, or do you keep it simple?
