Just Checking In

I have been off in non-blogging la la land (aka the real world)
due to my scheduled Give or Get Posts.

But I thought I would check in to let you know I am still here and kick'n.

This past weekend my parents were in town.
We decided that they don't visit nearly enough.
So hopefully they will be headed down to the deep south more often.

They took me on quite a shopping spree for my birthday on Saturday.
My purchases ranged from dresses to baby gates (for Potter, duh) all the way to carved wood Saints. ( I chose St. James, the patron saint of runners and walkers to hopefully spur on my marathon training... did I mention I am marathon training? Well that is for another post.)

What else, what else?

My birthday weekend is quickly approaching.
3 days and counting!

and then my actual birthday is the 29th.
25, 25!

I am re-reading Eat, Pray, Love.
The last time I read it was my freshman year of college.
I could not relate.
But I can now.
Last night it made me cry.
It is that good the second time around.

I will have more to say about it once I finish.
But if you have never read it,
read it.
It is an easy fun read but also quite poignant and honest.

And again, I left in the middle of this post
so all other check in thoughts have been lost!

Peace,
