Running running running!

I'm still running.

That statement has two meanings. I'm continuing my Couch-to-5K training. And I'm running, running, running, with all sorts of busy responsibilities this weekend (well,really, this month). My weekend activity mostly seems to be cooking-related, so at least I enjoy it!

Instead of coughing up a whole new post for today, I'm sending you to my running blog, C. Beth Run, today, to read about a big milestone I hit yesterday. I was pretty darn excited about it. Click here to check it out.

My words:

Zoodle's first snowfall was pretty anticlimactic.

Advent calendar

I remember having chocolate advent calendars--with one piece of chocolate for every day of December until Christmas--one or two years as a kid. I can still remember the taste and smell of the chocolate. It wasn't even good chocolate, but I loved it.

So when I saw these little chocolate advent calendars in the World Market ad for $1.79 each, I knew I had to get some for Chickie and Zoodle.



But there was one problem--when I got out the calendars for the kids Tuesday, I realized I'd made a cruel mistake--I hadn't gotten one for myself.

So instead of just watching them eat their chocolate Wednesday, I grabbed a goodie for myself too. I don't get the fun of opening a window every day...but Dove dark chocolate probably tastes a lot better than the candies in the calendars.



Mmm...it really is the most wonderful time of the year!
