Do you like me enough to keep reading anyway even though
I just admitted that?
Reason #91,347 testament to my stubborn-ness: tonight’s
late-night run. I went for a run
tonight after we got back from our friend’s baby shower, completely
against my husband’s (and daughter’s) wishes.
We got back from the baby shower way later than anticipated and I came
in, got dressed, and proceeded to announce that I was going running whether
they liked it or not. Being that I
slept late this morning instead of going to the gym, I knew I had to go
running. I had to stand my ground
through their (many) objections and eventually we came to an agreement. The compromise was that I would go well
prepared: reflective arm bands, ankle band, reflective, light-colored clothes,
pepper spray and Bella, our Chihuahua/Pug mix that thinks she is a Pit
Bull. Long story short, I got in a
quick two-mile run (and avoided breaking my RUNstreak) and Bella got to do her
business. Killed two birds with one
stone!
Ready for my late-night run!! |
RUNstreak: as
of tonight, 36 days and
counting…
Speaking of the baby-shower, it was lovely! One of my hubby’s BFF’s buddies (guys
don’t call each other “BFF’s” or “besties,” right?), Marco and his wife,
Leticia, are welcoming their baby boy into the world in August and we couldn’t be
more thrilled!

The shower was fun and
we got to catch up with lots of friends.
I actually met Marco the same night I met my hubs ten years ago so I
consider Marco to be just as much my friend as my hubby’s. And although Marco and Lety have only been
married a year, they’ve been together for years before that so we have all go
way back. The food was a good old
fashioned “Taquiza” or Mexican bar-b-que, complete with Tacos de Pastor (spicy
pork) and Bistec (beef fajita), Fijoles a la Charra (Charro-style Pinto beans),
Aguas Frescas de Limonada (fresh limeade) and Sandia (watermelon), and an
assortment of desserts. The food was
spectacular and Lety got lots of cute and
useful gifts so Baby is all set!
We got him the most precious red, black and white one-sies with motorcycles
everywhere and some sock shoes that are tiny, checkered baby Vans to
match. Of course our nephew is going to
have Rock Star style if we’ve got anything to do with it! J

Nights like these are extra-special to me. Friends are important to us and these are
two people that we consider to be way more than friends; they are family! Getting to spend time with the ones you
love, eating some good food and catching up…and ending the night
with a nice run…well, it just doesn’t get much better than that.
Me, Lety, and our friend Veronica. |
Wow - awesome awesome awesome! So much motivation!!
