Bah Humbug!?!


The holiday season is quickly approaching and I find myself lacking severely in the holiday spirit. With the 24 hours of Christmas Music on the brink and a ton of tinsel, trees and turkeys popping up all over the place, I find it hard to avoid.

I'm just so over all the shopping and the buying and the wrapping. The eating, I must admit, I still love. But all the other whohaa...boo to. Ba Humbug.

My grandparents are coming to the house for Christmas. Which is probably a good thing. I don't think I would head back to Seattle if they weren't coming. I'm in the mood for an adventure. I feel like South America is calling me and the holidays are the best time to travel to non-holiday esque places. However, since I was the one who convinced my Grandparents to head out west. I feel like not showing up myself would in fact cause some sort of situation---of epic proportions.


So, I've been running about 4 miles a day for the past week (in the gym, road running is hard---esp when it's dark and freezing). It doesn't really sound like a lot...but let me tell you. It is. A lot. It's good to be working out again. I love the sweat. And yes, I did treat myself to a new Ipod. A shuffle, so it's not that big of a commitment. And it's a RED product, so a portion goes to charity. Totally worth it.
