Ok so I am thorougly in love with the album Dirty Martini, that my friend Adam recommended (he has great style!) On of my favorite tracks is called Super girl and this weekend I felt that this song was so apropos to me!! As you all know I have been running since Febuary 2009. I have run a race once a month apart from March due to travel and October due to life. This weekend I ran my race for November, a quick 5K up in Bellingham. I swear it is sooo much colder up there than it is in the Skagit County. Not really taking it seriously I hadn't really put the effort in to train and I'm sure the 2.5 bottles of red wine between 2 of us really didn't help!
Needless to say we arrived and donated our $8 to the food bank - a charity I thoroughly believe is worth the donation. The race began shortly after we arrived and off we went. When I say a quick 5K I plan on them ending within 30 minutes, imagine my shock when I cross the finish line under 25 minutes!!! Placing 4th in my age group with a time of 24mins 55 secs, I was yet again the kid in the candy store!! After receiving my award/ribbon (same difference) we drove home with a quick stop at Tony's in Fairhaven for coffee and a pumpkin spiced cookie to share!!
That day we relaxed and chilled out before I stole Beth from her husband for a quick lemon drop martini from Bellisima's to finish off a perfect day!

Organization
So here it is!!
I am on a truly remarkable organization flurry. I'm not sure where it came from but what I do know is that I am loving it!! In some ways I feel it is happening because I know that I will be moving shortly and that it needs to be as simple and stress free as possible. It's a little weird though as I've started my organization by buying extra shoe/boot boxes. I love shoes (just in case anybody forgot!) Lets put it this way I think I need more boxes!
All I have to say is The Container store (www.containerstore.com) and Storables (www.storables.com) are some of my favorite stores to hang out in!!
So having to figure out new storage for my crystal and china I found the following and I can not believe how much space it all takes up but it makes it so much easier to store!!
Any how just a little note to let you know I will be an organized fool before you know it.
