i scream, you scream...


last weekend, my friend CT and her husband asked if I wanted to do a 5K with them...when they said there was free bluebell at the end, I was IN! So we woke up way too early and drove to Brenham and did one of the best 5 K's ever....partly because there was a kid's fun run - and you saw things like this:

Isn't this kiddo just way too cute?!? He was even cuter when he was running trying to keep up with all the other kiddos! And then, at the end of the race -- all the ice cream that you can eat....and eat I did!



yes, that is two...yes, I ate them both!!! And they were FANTASTIC! But even more fantastic was time spent with the T's and catching up with them!  And then I had a little work trip out to Los Angeles. I really do love visiting there....let's be honest - a week in a hotel, with a good gym, room service (and this hotel had a nutritionist built menu that was FABULOUS and healthy!) for breakfast every morning, and a great group of people to hang out with every night? well, how could it be a bad trip!

On the last night in town, we went over to Santa Monica and watched the sunset on the beach...it was so beautiful! (and we all know how much I love sunsets!!)


and what is funny about that picture was that we were walking up to that railing...and those guys standing against the railing were smoking pot....homeless and smoking pot. well, it is california. I guess.

But the views were just awesome...


Here are some of the girls on the trip...I have been so blessed at work to have a great group of girls that have all joined in the past few months and we all seem to get along so well...and they made this trip truly a ton of fun! 


and now I'm laying on the couch at home....it seems my thyroid is out of whack...all the ugly symptoms came back of when it is running high...the feelings of "should I go to the ER just in case?" are swimming through my head.   I hate it. I hate the fast heart beat, the feeling of not being able to concentrate, and the "I'm going to puke or pass out at any given second" feeling...it pretty much sucks. I'm sure I'll be okay...I had already talked to my doctor and she adjusted my meds.....so hopefully in a few weeks I'll be all better. 

and on another note, say a few prayers....my grandfather fell and at first thought he had broken some ribs but now they think it might be something else. And my grandmother had a mini stroke last week....needless to say there is a lot going on. So any prayers would be greatly appreciated!
