What a fabulous (but cold) day!

10 Reasons why today has been FABULOUS...


1. Woke up with no hangover. WOO! That's always a good thing.

2. It was the first day of training for the Chicago Marathon...except it was too damn cold to run (-1 when we woke up, ugh)! So we headed out bright and early for a fun morning at Momentum with breakfast and the getting started clinic.

3. I got a nice, ridiculously long, well-needed nap in...and well, what's not to love about naps? Naps are FABULOUS.

4. We went to a drag show last night with some friends for a birthday (in which he had to wear a d*ck in the box since it was his birthday...A.W.E.S.O.M.E.). I'll admit, some of the ladies (or were they men?) were...well..........arguably hot...and, of course, fabulous.

5. Kansas beat Mizzou. Yeah. Enough said.

6. Blockbuster finally got its copy of High School Musical returned. And I may or may not be watching it right now...and totally basking in its fabulousness.

7. I got to talk with one of my favorite bloggers earlier. And well...that's always a hoot and a half...cause well...she's fabulous.

8. We've got butterscotch pudding and chocolate covered strawberries in the fridge...two of the world's most fabulous desserts, just waiting to be devoured by yours truly after dinner.

9. Chicken Satay from Hong Kong Bay = ten shades of fabu-tastic!!

10. Mike surprised me with tickets to see EVERCLEAR...tonight! I'm as giddy as a school girl. This band reminds me of all things fun and fabulous back in high school. So yeah...this chick is all smiles!!!



Not too much else is going on here in the frigid land of Chicago. I think we're all ready for a break in the weather...and it looks like we just might...by at least a few degrees. So let's hope the fabulous momentum can carry everyone through into next week...

Sounds like the recipe for a perfect day.

How was Everclear?  While you were at the concert Denise and I were right across the driveway at Bin36.  Were you guys among the throngs waiting in line out in the cold?  We watched the line move while enjoying wine and cheese.

That's a great top 10 list. Sounds like the recipe for a perfect weekend to me.

Is it time for Chicago training already? WOW...I'm ready for some warmer weather, too. These long runs in below zero temps is for the birds!

1. Drag show - watched it (Minneapolis has FIVE places to see one)

2. The cold in Chicago (DITTO...walked in it a good part of the night to get to BIN36 and the American Girl Place..something for a little daughter of me. ;) )

3. As for Everclear, you lucky girl!

4. No Hangover - ALWAYS never wake up with one (that included NYE where I REALLY had my share of drinks. Firefly secret!!)

5. Chocolate covered strawberries - DITTO...had the HEAVENLY hot chocolate at the chocolate place near Nordstroms off of Michigan Ave. YUMMMMMMMMMM!
