Running Fail

I've been running off and on for the past few years. I go through a period (like right now) where I run regularly, then I'll go through a time that I loathe it.
So I've been on a great running streak lately. I mean, I have thoroughly enjoyed it. The runs range anywhere from 2-4 miles. That's it. I have mixed in a few small bridges in there and some sprints (thanks to my husband) at the end.




{After my 4.5 mile run with a bridge. See happy! Ha!}

So what's the point of this story, you ask. Well, this is it:


Yep. This is what my night looked like last night. Icing both knees. My right knee was super swollen. I haven't had this happen since college ( where I ran ALL the time). WTH!?!

Just when I'm getting into it! Looks like I'll be taking a few days off. Otherwise, according to my trainer husband, I'll be getting the swelling drained from
My knee. Uh, No Thank You!

Anyone have this problem too? Or recommend anything?

{Semi} Wordless Wednesday

Last week before M had to leave for work, when we went to pick up S from school, he said, let me go pick him up from his class. Of course! I just thought it was SO sweet.




And this was just too cute not to share. Apparently S was thirsty. Ha!






Have a great Wednesday!

2 on Tuesday- Cancelled Shows

Hi friends! It's Tuesday, so time for 2 on Tuesday. I'm linking up with the sweet Andrea from My Chihuahua bites.



So this week's topic is

What two television shows that have gone off the air do you miss?

I'd say the first one is definitely The Cosby show. Now the earliest recollection of this show was when I was in 4th grade (maybe earlier, but I don't remember if it was on or not). The reason I remember this is b/c our bedtime at that time was 8 pm. And the Cosby show came on at 8. Our parents WOULD NOT let us stay up to watch it.
Anyhow, I loved the show because it showed what real life was like. And what parents really do (discipline, disappointments, family, etc). I feel like now the shows just aren't as wholesome as The Cosby Show was.


My husband and I loved watching King of Queens. We still watch re-runs because it was just SO damn funny. The relationship between Doug, Carrie and Arthur is absolutely hilarious.


I know we're only supposed to have two, but I have to also add these to my list:

Will and Grace. I mean come on, WHO didn't love this group?


The original 90210. I mean come on! Who didn't love this bunch?


Rich Girls on MTV. Do y'all remember this one? It starred Ally Hilfiger (Tommy's daughter) and her best friend, Jamie Gleicher. I think this may have been my first glimpse socialites.

I feel like I'm leaving out a few, but that's it.

What are you favorite past time shows?

Happy Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to the love of my life. I thank God every day for having me sit in front of you that semester in college. Thank you for all that you do for our little family. I hope one day that S is as great of a man as you are.



The way you make S laugh is so adorable. The fact that you will do anything to make him laugh, no matter how silly you look, is even more perfect.

You are so proud to show off your little boy to everyone. I melt every time that look comes over you. You are such an amazing dad!

I just love looking at this picture of S and you at your birthday last year. My two boys, so cute and so sweet!


I hope you have the best birthday today. I can't wait to continue to celebrate all the days God gives us together. We are truly blessed.

We love you!

New Kate Spade lipsticks

Have y'all seen the new Kate Spade lipsticks. Such pretty colors! I haven't had a chance to try them yet, but I can't wait to. Although at $24 a pop, I'll have to see if they are truly worth the money.

Here are my two favorite colors:

Fuschia Fete




Pop Art Pink



Have any of you tried them yet? If so, which is your favorite?

2 on Tuesday

I'm linking up with my sweet friend, Andrea, for 2 on Tuesday. Today, we have the option of two questions:




Many fall shows are starting up again this week. What two shows are you most looking forward to?

AND/OR

What two cleaning products make your life easier?

I think I'll answer both, just for the heck of it.

We don't have cable, so most of my every day shows are on the main stations. {Yes, I do love me some Real Housewives, but I have my mom DVR them for me, ha}

I love Glee! Now, I can't sing very well, but I sure do enjoy pretending to. And this show is my fix!

My other show would DEFINITELY be Modern Family. Y'all this show is just like my family, well, the Sophia Vergara and Ed O'Neill family. The heavy Spanish accent, not understanding what she is saying, saying the wrong thing b/c she's trying to be literal with her English, TALKING LOUD, etc. Yep, this is my family (not me, my mom, her sisters, their friends, etc). I have some hilarious stories of things that were said when they meant to say something else. We are a comedy in the making during family time. So I watch this and laugh because I feel like I'm watching our family on TV.

Now on to cleaning products:

Ever since I was little, my grandmother always mopped the floors with Fabuloso. I love the smell of it and it's amazing at getting my floors sparkly clean. I'm sure I will always use this because it reminds me of my grandmothers as well.

I use kitchen spray with bleach EVERY.SINGLE.DAY. First, I love the smell of a super clean kitchen, and I just love the way it takes everything stain off the counters. Well, I also feel good that it'll kill any bacteria too.

So that's it. What are you favorite shows and cleaning products?
