Good Word Wednesday!
Can I just say how much I love having the TV turned back on? It's a long story. No it's not. See, we turned off the TV because we found we were staying up late watching all those amazing Food Network shows (Alton Brown...how do I love thee? My girl Paula! Unwrapped!) and then we would get hungry and so I would whip a little sum'thing-sum'thing up in the kitchen and BAM! there we would be up way too late, eating way too much. Bad Molly! (LOL, Ad Set girls!!) Plus Porter would get sucked into the Sponge Bobs and Timmy Turners and those shows don't fly with this mama. We're not going to do that anymore. Pinkie promise.
I'm wondering what's got you hooked?

Transfer to a cookie sheet (I found that if you let the squares sit for about five minutes, they were easier to transfer and kept their shape better), sprinkle with salt or cinnamon sugar,and bake for 5 to 7 minutes.
Watch closely because they go from golden brown to toast in thirty seconds.
My tough critics all agreed that they were "very hearty with the home-ground wheat" and "kind of like the store bought wheat thins". But they were so easy to make, I think they were close enough.

Next weekend I will run in the London's Run for the third year in a row.
I adore this race because it is held in my own little town and because everything about the run is about love and service and giving and remembering how we all can do little things to make big differences.


Porter tried his best at rock climbing.



I can't, so let's make something up.
How about my favorite running saying:
" I know I run like a girl. Try to keep up."
It's not too late to register for this year's London's run. If you're not up for the 10K (6.2mi) or half (13.2mi) then do the 2-mile fun run/walk. You can register online until the 24th at midnight or on the morning of the race.
It's a great atmosphere down there with plenty of fun things to see and great people to meet. Good food, too, all for the best causes.
If you come, you will be made an honorary member of my little fan club.
The only requirement is that you have to yell really loud for me when I cross the finish line and be willing to give me a hug when I'm all sweaty and out of breath and act like I just won the Olympics because you just love me that much and don't care that I only ran an "okay" time for a 10K.
Watch Olen and Porter and you'll know what to do.

Love is in the air
So here ya have it -
My hubs doesn't know it yet, but this is what he's getting from me for St. Valentines. We're going to get our Love Story made and it will be hot. H-yeah, I'll post all about it.
Love shea butter, gorgeously yummy smells and rich, smooth lather? Excuse me while I wipe away the drool. Love to have your Honey in shea butter, gorgeously yummy smells and rich, smooth lather?
Thought so. Then click the tvala handmade link below and your wish has been granted.
What a win-win baby.

Flashback Friday

Here's the picture play-by-play.










(Porter, "warming" himself)


Little LaLa was so over having her picture taken, so Olen had to get creative to make her grin.

I wish she could explain her motives a little better because I bet there's a great story behind this.

Don't you love the smell of schedules in the morning?!
I read this book, recommend and borrowed from my mamasita, over the weekend. I usually don't go for the real-life-learn-a-lesson kind of books, but this one was so lovely and inspirational. Really a great prelude to the new year. Go rent, borrow or buy this one pronto and I bet you'll agree.

Dear 2009, Let's be friends. Okay?
Now let the Flashback Friday begin!


We sang our best version of Auld Lang Syne and drank a cup of Martinelli's to toast the new year. Man, I love that song. We need to sing that song more often.




New Year's Resolution? One of them is to figure out why Blogger won't publish my posts with paragraph breaks. I swear I type it that way and then it all lands together. Ugh!
Have you thought about your New Year's Resolutions?
