WORKOUT - (yesterdays) Elliptical – 35 mins/ full body strength conditioning with medicione ball/balance ball

I might try to go for a short run this morning before church.  I don’t know, I have a head cold and feel like this:

But not as cute. 

And sound a little like this:

But not as annoying.

I was going to wait until Monday to recap the week’s pictures, but since my life is boring and I have nothing else to say, it just made sense.  Like Miley Cyrus and age-inappropriate pictures, it just went together.

My parents’s condo is on the Columbia River in Oregon and looks out on the Astoria bridge.

 This picture sums up last week’s weather report: wet.  Actually, it was nice for a little bit… like 30 mins at a time.  We’d watch these huge ships go by which was kinda fun.  for the first 100.

Apparently my penchant for taking bad pictures runs in the family.  Love ya Ma!

Jay and my mom trying to figure out what country this ship was from.  They were looking at a book of national flags to identify the flag.  Trust me, it was just as dorky as it sounded typing it.

I only ran once in the 4 days we were there but the day that I did, the sun got all dressed up and pretty for me.

The day before Thanksgiving Costco opened a brand new, bigger store in Astoria.  Being the socialites that we are, we got there right at 8am for the grand opening, the social event of the year.  Have I mentioned how small Astoria is??

I married this fine specimen of a man.

And he obviously scored big marrying me.  This was early in the morning, pre-under eyes bags concealer.  We were headed down to the boat to clean and load groceries on it.

The entire week I wore some variation of this outfit: pea coat, lounge pants and UGGs.  By “some variation” I mean I put on clean underwear for Thanksgiving.  Everyone was thankful for that.

This is the middle school that Kindergarten Cop was filmed at.  My dad went here back before the wheel had been invented.  It looks huge in the movie and in reality, the building is pretty tiny.

Astoria is a fishing town that was built on the Columbia River so there are a lot of draw bridges like this one that open for boats to pass under.

We took the leader of the free world for a walk to one of my favorite manifestations of capitalism: cupcakeries!

Go get it boy. Jamie had coconut and I had vanilla and lemon.

On the Richter scale of cupcake nirvana, I’d rank it a 7 of 10.  Decent, but won’t put Sprinkles out of business.

Does that picture remind you of this picture:

Lilly Allen twitpic’ed this.  Might seem like a good idea until you wake up and see your sheets resemble candy canes, striped in white and barbeque.
