Fantastic Friday

So let's discuss all things that are FABULOUS about my Friday thus far. After all, this blog is about moi. Here we go:

1. Troy has slept through the night the past TWO nights! He has NEVER slept through the night more than a handful of times and never in a row like this. Could be the shot he got on Tuesday or maybe he's now with the program that mommy is less of a biotch when she gets a full 7-8 hours STRAIGHT.

Oh and a side note - while on Pinterest to find a "mom" picture to go with my post, Mr. Statham popped up (not literally of course). Not sure why he did, but I'll take it. ANOTHER fabulous thing about today

2. I get to go grocery shopping! Keeping it real with you guys, I love grocery shopping. Now that Troy is a bit older and easier in the stores, I love it. I love having bags of fresh food to bring him. And right now we have like ZIP. We are most definitely at the end of the week since we're scrapping the bottom of the fridge for crumbs.

3. The weather - its cool down here in my neck of California - AKA the country. Yeah, Im sure you all are sorta shocked to know California isn't just one big beach with hot blondes rollerblading down it (do people rollerblade anymore?)


4. Its fantastic that I've accomplished my goals of running this week. I set a 10 mile/week minimum and I have ran exactly 10. And it was harder than I thought it'd be, psssh. Im signing up for the Turkey Trot this year (5K) and then who knows where I'll go! ....The bar for a hydrating margarita?


5. My hair - since I've gotten this sexy mommy bob of a cut, I seriously wake up with great hair. Its not greasy or have crazy creases from where Ive slept. It actually looks best after I've slept on it and its my "2nd day of no washing" hair. Just saying. Nick gets grossed out by me not washing it, but he just doesn't understand that its okay not to wash it. At least Im not pulling a Julia Roberts and skipping that shampoo/conditioner for weeks on end! You read that right, the pretty woman goes weekS without washing her hair.

6. Oh and it's Friday - 'nuff said. The weekend is upon us and with it getting ready to be freezing (68 to this California girl is cold), Im celebrating by putting out the Fall Decor and watching Football all day Sunday - BOO YA!

Apple Hill Sunday!!!

Happy Sunday everyone! How was your Halloween & Sunday? Mine and N's Halloween was really good. We had a lot of fun going out with Bon Bon and her hubby. I will post pics ASAP, I promise :) We got a lot of compliments (mostly Bon Bon and I and they were from guys, but our costumes were sorta egging it on). The adult haunted house was so scary! I am a huge baby when it comes to being startled, so I have no idea why I paid $35 to have someone scare me. Poor N's arm was blue from the lack of circulation going to his arms for the 10 minutes we were walking through it. We were total oldies at the end of the night, we called it a night at the ridiculously late time of 930pm! HA! Beat THAT Paris Hilton!

Today N and I enjoyed and soaked up our last day off for another 5 days by relaxing. N's way of relaxing is....? FOOTBALL!! I LOVE the game too, BUT this Sunday it was all about a place us Northern Californians like to call Apple Hill!!! When fall hits, its a MUST to go eat the most ridiculous amount of anything apple. Oh yes ladies and gents, this California girl devoured 1 moist apple donut covered in cinnamon and sugar, 1 mug of hot apple cider, 1 big block of the most heavenly homemade fudge, and 1 ooey gooey Carmel apple. Oh yes, my butt is HUGE now :D Not really, but it will be if I don't kick it this week. On a side note: Karli's tip of the day!!! Plan your workouts. It may seem to take a lot of time, but its worth it. Sit down with a calendar and write out a workout plan for the month (or week if that's all you can do) on what your plan is at the gym. That way once you get there, you aren't just wandering around the weight room just mindlessly doing a couple things on the machines. Now back to Apple Hill.... If you live near the Northern California vicinity or are visiting the area, please PLEASE stop and check it out. They have everything from Carmel apples to apple beer and wine! You may snicker at the thought of those drinks, but let me tell you, they are goooood. The air was so very much Autumn with the crisp cool breeze, the sky was clear with the sun shinning and the trees were turning that redish orange that I love. I wish I had brought Daisy Mae, but I didn't think all that walking would be good for her since she is the ripe age of 11. Don't get me wrong, my baby has spunk, but it's a lot of walking. I DID see a few cutie wienies though and it made me miss her. I told N when I came home that when Daisy passes away, I think I have to get another one. I just think they have the cutest faces and I am truly going to miss her. I mean, look at this face:






I am going to sign off since I have to go to work in the AM and yours truly has had a very busy weekend and I need my beauty sleep (HA!) before I start another sleep depriving, kicking it hard at the gym week. For now, enjoy these pics of Apple Hill

The Bunny Boo and I


You can't go to Apple Hill without a carmel apple!


Someone got their faced painted :D


Of course someone else had to join in the fun *cough couch* LOL

Hello Fall, oh how I've missed thee

Don't you love fall?! The air is so crisp and the smell of wood piles burning is the best thing in the world! I love sweaters and leggings with boots, jeans and hoodies and of course uggs! I don't care what anyone says, Uggs are cute and so comfortable, I live in them in the winter and fall. Today is about 65 degrees with blue skies and big white clouds, it's my favorite kind of day :) oh and let's not forget another amazing benefit of fall and winter, HOT beverages at Starbucks!! I love Northern California during this time of the year!!
