Tink Tuesday

Where has time gone? If you've found it, please let me know so I can get some of it back! Maybe you're just super on track, but I am just barely hanging onto the roller coaster of life. We're doing secret santa on both sides of the family, so the number of gifts I have to get is ridiculously low, but I seem to still be lagging. And of course, I still have all the hard people (mom, dad, and brother) to shop for. Any ideas? 

A little Christmas cheer for you! My husband and I have been debating getting a cat to keep my company when he moves to Texas next year. I'd probably try to dress the cat like this all the time. Poor guy. ;) 

Onto the running portion of Tink Tuesday.

I was doing pretty well with my running at the beginning of the week. I confess I was more focused on getting mileage in so I could beat my co-worker in our pedometer challenge. I beat until about Friday when I had to stop running. The sudden increase in mileage and lack of stretching really did me in. My hip has been aching; it even hurts when I'm sitting and sleeping. :( So for now, more stretching and less mileage. The good news is I'm confident I can at least finish all my races during Tinker Bell weekend, even if I have to walk them. 

This week has brought about a frenzy of excitement! Today is officially my husband's last day of school. EVER! It still seems pretty surreal, but I'm sure it'll sync in soon. When his engineering dreams were just that, dreams, and even before he started community college back in 2008, I bought him a card. I knew this would be the card I gave him when he graduated. Every few semesters, I'd write a little in it, mainly about certain accomplishments or milestones he had hit in school. Today, after 5.5 years, I finally got to give him the card. Craziness. :) 

How was your week? Can you believe that we're a week away from Christmas? Are you all ready for the holiday?
