Day #256: Scavenger Dash - Take 2
Sarah and I participated in a Scavenger Hunt/run in Tucson, as we did in 2010. We did not win, but we did better this year! This is one of the photo's we had to get - the 2 of us jumping. This is one of about 10 that it took to finally get it so both of our feet appeared to be coming off the ground.
Day #257: A Thanksgiving Lesson
it is important to remember that you are wearing an apron when you go to the bathroom. Why you ask? Well because if you do not remember - you'll quickly figure it out when you return to the kitchen and wonder why the ends of the tie in the back of your apron are wet. Yup...gross.
Day #258: ThanksLIVING
Plant Based (aka Vegan) Thanksliving meal.
A mushroom/veggie dish, massaged kale salad, and mushroom and sundried tomato risotto.
Delicious.
Vegan Pumpkin Pie with cashew cream.
Yup - basically vegan cool whip and I made it!
Had to use something called guar gum to make it work :)
Day #259: The Impossible
Please take note that it says - "Total Active Tasks: 0"
This is an amazing feat - earlier in the week, it was at 95.
Day #260: Not that my vote means much in Arizona
Day #261: Snuggle Bug
Just in case you were going through Penny withdrawal!
Here she is all snuggled up in her little bed.
Day #262: The Southwest
Gotta love the Southwest and the vibrant colors!
Day #263: REI splurge
Not surprising - I spend waaayyy too much money and time at REI. Not a good thing since the store is literally 3 minutes from my house. Here you will find my climbing investment - shoes, chalk ball, S-binder to clip my chalk bag to my harness, and the circular thing is a forearm trainer. Helps to make my forearms stronger. I saved money by making my own chalk bag. Which reminds me - I better take a pic of that to post.
Day #264: Sunrise Run
A pretty good reason to get up in the morning
Day #265: Silly Wieners

Day #266: Black Friday (Out of Order)
So I started my Black Friday morning adventure - no way was I staying up late to go to the stores - at Nordstrom Rack. As you can see from this pic 10 mins before the store opens, not a hot spot to be. I was initially disappointed because there were not any big sales, nothing much better than the usual until...
My trusty shopping side kick. Her choice of store was initially Petco because we could have got free antlers, but it was not open early enough, so we went to Petsmart instead.
Until...at Nordstrom Rack I found a green dot which said I wan a $50 gift card! Yahoo. I found something to buy with my new found wealth :)
Day #267: Penny's Black Friday purchases
What Penny walked away with from Petsmart. New winter toy and awesome fleece on sale!
Day #268: New headband
New headband came on my gym bag that I bought at Nordstrom Rack w/ my $50 gift card.
Day #269: Hot and Tired
Me after a long run on the weekend. At this point, I am usually contemplating why I waited to get up and run, because I'm so flippin' hot by the end of it. Likely the end of one of my 16 milers.
But I did survive.
Day #270: They're here!
Candy Cane Joe Joes and returned. Delicious and vegan! Say What?!!
Even worse for you and more delicious - are the dark chocolate covered candy cane joe joes (not vegan).
Day #271: More Tucson Charm
Breakfast outside with Penny and Megan. If you look closely - you can see me in the mirror in the back of the room.
Day #272: A trip down memory lane
Our first Christmas with the wieners. Penny almost died right before this shot was taken as she launched herself from Santa's lap and nearly broke her neck on the cement floor in Petsmart. Yet I still handed her back to Santa for this photo op. I know I'm a good mom :)
Ok - enough catching up for now. More to come :)
My goal is to complete the catch up by New Years.
I don't want to do too much at once and bore you ;)
