Trunk - or - Treat's

I just wanted to say I think Trunk or Treat's are stupid.

In the 80's and 90's we had to work for our candy and go door to door. Now the kids and parents are lazy and just go car to car and they have a bag full in 60 minutes or less.

They say it is for safety but as a kid we only went to houses of who we know. If you think your kids aren't safe then go with them or go to a different neighborhood.

We usually aren't home on Halloween night and we will be gone most of the night this year.

So if you want candy from me then you have to work for it and come to my house and come before 7:00.

Also If you have a really good costume I will give you more candy and if it is crappy you are only getting one piece.

Half Marathon

I made it.

I had a fun time in Moab. I got there Saturday afternoon and my friends took there jeep off-road to see Gemini Bridges. Then we went out for pasta.

Sunday I ran the Half Marathon it was a pretty run. The start of the race you go over a bridge and the bridge was bouncing because of all the runners on it. The course had a lot of hills at the end which made it hard.

Here is Stella, Me, and Christi before the race.

I stayed an extra day and on Monday I went shopping on Main Street in Moab and then we went to Arches National Park and drove through it. We got lost on the way home my friend said she knew the way so we didn't pull the map out. We went about a hour past where we were suppose to turn. So we went home a different way it took us about 2 hours extra to get home but it was fun chatting and seeing the pretty mountains in Central Utah.

It was a fun getaway. I don't know if I can do a full marathon ever but I am going to try to train and run one in the spring for one.

New Crochet Blankets

Here are the most recent blankets I have made over the past 2 months

I don't know who this one is for someone needs to have a girl

This blanket is for my sisters baby that is coming any day.

This blanket went to my friend at work who's wife had there baby yesterday.

Tick or Treat

For Halloween I crocheted candy corn Trick or Treating bags for all my nieces and nephews.

Here are 3 of the 10 bags I have finished.

I don't know if i should make them for the 4 nieces or nephews that are coming the next few months.

My mom sewed lining in the bags and stitched all of their names in the bags so they won't get mixed up.

I took 3 of the bags to my sisters and gave them to her kids

I have been informed that they also work as hats.

10 DAY COUNT DOWN

I don't think anyone cares but this is my mind so I decided to blog.

In 10 days I will be running the Moab Other Half Marathon I am getting a little nervous after my friends finished St. George full marathon and were talking about how bad the weather was. I checked the 10 day forecast and it looks like good weather.

This is the sweet jacket I am going to get for running the race. I also get a unique finisher medal, delicious post race refreshments, beer from one of Utah’s outstanding microbreweries (which I will not be drinking), reusable sweat bag, bus ride to the start, and the privilege of running through some of the most beautiful scenery in the country!


I got this sweet running skirt I got it %50 off to wear over my tight compression running shorts that aren't very attractive.

Golfing

I went golfing last week for the 1st time with some friends from work. We had a good time and were laughing the entire time. I am not very good at it but I would love to go again.

Here are the pictures Molly got while we were swinging away.
