WORKOUT (Yesterdays) - Ran 7.25 miles/64 mins

(Saturdays) – Elliptical/bike ~ 60 mins/45 mins

We made it home after spending 10 days in Houston for the holidays.  I ate way too much but did manage to workout 9 of the 10 days.  All hope is not lost.

We were bumped from our flight yesterday afternoon but received $800 in travel vouchers, airport food vouchers and free first class upgrades on a later flight.

We got into LAX at midnight but it was worth it to sit in first class and act like snobs royalty.  We actually both slept the whole way so we missed out on all the good first class stuff anyways.

I didn’t take too many pictures while I was gone but here are a few of the beauties:

Heavy on the beauty.

Libby, my 10 year old niece, Poppa and Grandma, Jaybob’s mom.  Yes, Poppa is wearing a snuggie.

So am I.

My sister-in-law owns an upscale childrens’ boutique in Nashville called Lizards and Lace.  So if you’re ever in that neck of the woods, go check it out.  Very cute store.

Anyways, they do a lot of monogramming so guess what I got for Christmas?  Oh yeah baby, my very own personalized snuggie.  Don’t be too jealous.  You know you want one.

Don’t I look like I belong in a wax museum here?  Someone seriously needs to get some anti-shine, blotting, face powder….

Tyler, our 14 yr old nephew, and Uncle Jason.  I think these two are 20 year old different twins.

Here’s a little BEFORE and AFTER game:

I’d like to title this picture “Uh, durrr“.

And AFTER:

Ahh, much better.

At the Galleria Mall in Houston there is a Dylan’s Candy Bar.  I didn’t know this and practically wet my pants when I saw it. seriously.  A Depends would have been quite nice at that moment.

I love candy stores especially ones that have some sort of unique twist or story to them.

You can’t see me very well but this is one of the few situations where something is more important than me = the candy.

The store was first started in NYC by Dylan Lauren, clothing designer Ralph Lauren’s daughter.

A gumball table at the cafe where they served sundaes, ice cream, lattes, and stuff like that.

Dylan was said to be inspired by the movie Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and the board game Candy Land.

DBC also makes amazing bath products that seriously smell like candy and cakes.  They don’t taste like them though.  Trust me, I know.

If you stick around I’ll show you what lovely little gift JayJay got me for Christmas.

Quote of the day:

Never be afraid to try something new.  Remember, it was amateurs who built the ark.  Professionals built the Titanic.
