Thanks to Molly at I’m a Sleeper Baker for this honor.
I am to share 7 things about myself then pass this award on to 15 bloggy friends.
1. I am in the single parenting role again this week as the Caveman traipses around Vegas under the guise of attending a conference. Grrrrr.
2. Chocolate addiction update: I subbed in Godiva Chocolate Truffle coffee (black with a bit of Stevia) for my usual chocolate covered almonds/berries, etc. this week. So far so good, but the week is young.
3. One of Thing 2’s favorite things to do is pull the cushions off the couch and play Mermaid Sea. The other day she was balancing on said cushion as it teetered half off the couch. Inevitably she leaned forward enough for it to create a slide and ended up going forehead first into the edge of the granite coffee table.
4. I hurriedly wrapped some ice in a T-shirt that turned out to be one Thing 1 had just brought home as an award for selling Girl Scout cookies. Hope the blood comes out.
5. Thing 2 now sports a bruisey gash on her head where new shades of yellow, purple and green bloom daily. Just in time for preschool graduation. Ahhh parenthood.
6. Since spring is in full swing and I’ve finally shed my fleece layer, I kicked aside my boring Merrell flip-flops and got these jewel-encrusted honeys: The problem is they are rather attention getting. Let’s just say blingy sandals and runner’s feet complete with calluses and blood blisters don’t really mix.
7. I have a cheetah running skirt gathering dust in my closet because I don’t feel ‘fast enough’ to wear it. I wonder when the tortoise print is coming out?
Now because I am a lazy slug and have to run out to the bus stop with the kids in my jewel encrusted sandals and pink bunny pj tops tucked in my jeans, I will pass this auspicious award onto the 1st 15 commentors on yesterday’s yogurt post. So if you said something, you’re it!
I say you pull out that cheetah running skirt and dust it off with a good run… fast is all relative!
I love your cheetah skirt comment 🙂 You are too funny!
At least your toenails are painted! I have given up completely on my feet . . .
On Saturday I used a random sweatshirt that came home from daycare to clean up a poop emergency in the car. That went straight to the garbage. You do what you have to in an emergency. 🙂
props to you for pulling out the blingy sandals, i hide my feet all summer haha
those sandals rock… I wonder if I could pull them off?
I have a gift cert for a pedicure…but am waiting for the skin to grow back on my baby toes from my blister-marathon. Gross? You bet!
Hah, the turtle skirt.. If I may be as bold to state, ….If wearing that during a race, I hope that it does not make you produce a turtle tail…. You should go ahead and wear the cheetah skirt, Sound as though you have an interesting life. I love Godivia Milk Chocolate. Take care.
Your feet look nicer than mine!
YOU GET THAT cheetah running skirt OUT TODAY!!!
love the shoes!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That shirt cost you a lot of cookies! I hope the blood comes out!
And you're feet look great! I need to get a pedicure, I just hate going since I'm so tickilish!
Those shoes are cute cute cute and LOL! at the tortoise print! Wear that cheetah skirt with pride lady =)

Break that skirt out of the closet for crying out loud! Love the flip-flops. One thing I truly miss since becoming PF queen b/c they are not PF friendly.

I just love you. You are hilarious. I look forward to reading your blog whenever you update 🙂 I hope thing 2 is okay!!
Great sandals…and PUHLEASE, get that cheetah running skirt out…today!!
After my ultra my toes will probably not see daylight around company! Ick.
Way do kids always have to climb up on things?
Your feet don't look bad at all! I haven't bothered to paint my toenails in TWO years. So bad. I love those shoes though…very cute!
Congrats on your award. I always love reading new things about people, especially since I am new to your blog.
No one will notice your "runner's" feet with all those sparkles… nice shoes! Thanks for picking me & commenting on my post too!
Loved reading your 7 things!!!
Love number 6!
Cute shoes and feet! I don't even bother with polish on my toe nails anymore. Your cheetah skirt needs to get out! Go for it!!
too funny about thing2 🙂 at least you don't overreact about it like some parents would… i'm sure she'll be fine! thing1, may go diva over the shirt though 😉 kidding kidding.
Tortoise skirt: now, that's funny!
I'm with you about the feet thing. One of my co-workers was sporting expensive manicured toes today. Two things were obvious: (1) she is not a runner; (2) she doesn't have children.
Chocolate – mmm. And, yes, I run in a chocolate skirt.
OUCH. Isn't that the way it always works? Always right before graduation, or pictures, or easter!!
Hi Marcia,
I love those sandals and your feet look great! Cute toenails:) Funny about the chocolate…I just ate a handful of choc. chips:)
Love love love the sandals. I've been looking at a similar pair on the cover of an Ann Taylor mailer. May have to check them out this weekend. As far as your feet go, I had a physical yesterday and the nurse looked at my black toenails and scared-up knee and said, "Runner battle scars". I say flaunt 'em if you've got 'em!
And tell Thing 2 I hope her head heals up quickly.
Cheetah huh?? 🙂 Dust that baby off!
oooo, lovin' those sparkly flip flops! and you know what I found the other day? Planters Energy mix with dark chocolate covered soy beans…yum.
