Brain Dump Thursday

I love a good brain dump post, especially on a cold rainy day, when Emmy is home sick, and I was up until 3:00 am writing.  It's going to take about a vat of coffee to get my through this day.

- Speaking of writing, I've been making some real progress with my book.  Skip just helped me flesh out the ending last night.  It's the first time I actually know how the whole story is going to end.  I'm super excited about the progress I've made and am now hoping to push myself and have it all done by Christmas.  We'll see!

- Good news and bad news at the podiatrist last week.  Good news is that I don't have a stress fracture.  Bad news is I have an inflamed nerve in my foot.  The doctor taped up my foot and I was banned from working out for a week.  It has been so frustrating to not be able to do anything for the past week.  I hate taking off this much time, but I listened well as I didn't want to injure myself further.  I have to call the doctor today to tell him how I'm feeling.  It's not 100% better, but definitely an improvement.  Hopefully I get the all clear to work out again soon!


- I went to check on Charlie the other night before I went to bed and this is how I found.  Oh how I love this girl.


- Skip and I officially have the worst team in our fantasy football league.  That combined with the Giants' loss the other night makes me want to boycott all football until next season.

- It was nice and warm the other day, so the girls and I spent some quality time at the park.  With possible snow showers in the forecast next week, we soaked up every moment of this!


- Streaming Gilmore Girls all day long makes everything seem a little better.

- One day I'll be able to make a dent in my to-do list.  I fear it won't be today though.

- Shiba actually came downstairs and hung out with us for a bit the other day.  It was amazing...like she was a real dog!

- I am almost done with Christmas shopping for the girls!  It was totally unintentional.  I just started buying things as I saw they were on sale, and my basement has accumulated quite the collection.  Nice to get a jump start on things!

- These two have been fighting a lot, but when they're not, they're being ridiculously sweet with each other.  I love these moments so much.

Spring Giveaway!

Image
First off I want to thank Kim over at Life As I Know I t for becoming my 100 th follower! I love her blog and just know we would hang out all the time if she didn't live across the country. I am completely humbled that 100 people actually want to read what I have to say! Blogging has opened up a whole new world of friendships to me and I would probably not have kept doing it if it was not for all of you! Okay, now it's down to the good stuff. I am *dying* for a little spring around here. We had a few days of warmth and sunshine, but for the past three days it has been raining...again....I heard they have even mobilized our National Guard in case the rivers decide to really get out of hand...you know more than the crazy flooding they've already been doing. Anyways, one of my favorite things to do to get ready for spring is to paint my nails a fun, bright color. So today I am giving away these beauties. One lucky reader will win all four of these fabulous colors! I g...

$50 CSN Giveaway!!

As you all know, I have raved about my love of CSN stores several times before.  They have a huge selection of products and are constantly adding new stores to their website.  My family definitely headed over there to do some of our Christmas shopping, and I was just perusing their selection of flat panel TV stands.      It's one thing, however, for me to tell you how great CSN is.  But it's another for you to experience it yourself.  That is why I am so excited to be sponsoring a $50 gift certificate giveaway to CSN to one of my readers!!!  It's the perfect opportunity to order yourself something you didn't receive for Christmas, or check out their fitness equipment to help with your new year's resolution! Entering is simple...just leave a comment telling me what your new year's resolution is {you can also just say you aren't making any this year if that's the case!}  The giveaway will be open until January 7th 10:00 pm est.
