Waiting

I am just waiting for Taylor to come pick me up for the ball. I am actually mostly done getting ready. I just need to put on the dress and touch up the hair. It's easy to fix your hair when you wear it straight..... :). All is good in the land of Kim now. A&M beat Baylor (whoop!) and I had a great run this morning. Not a bad Saturday. I only did 4 miles today because at the end of the 4th mile, my knee was starting to hurt. The trail is located at Lively Park and it is a one mile loop. It was a nice park and a nice trail. I love White Rock, but it was nice to have a change of pace. So, for 4 miles it was 54 minutes. Definitely can work on that time, but truthfully, I don't think it is horrible for a novice runner.

That is about it. Hope everyone has a wonderful Saturday!

***Oh and a great big shot out to Jen. That woman is a great inspiration and a total rock star. As of today, she is at 75 lbs LOST!!! I am very proud of you Jen and I know a lot of other people are too. Thanks for being a great inspiration for everyone :). That is a lot of hard work and I know you have had your ups and downs. This is definitely an up!! Keep up the great work!***

Friday!

So, not a lot to chat about but it seems like I have a busy weekend ahead. We are doing timed runs for the 5 leg relay at the White Rock Marathon. I am not where I want to be time wise however I was told not to stress about that. Just show up tomorrow and run to my little heart's content. The date is in 3 weeks so I still have time to get up to where I want to be. I have another friend doing the relay as well (a different team). She is doing the 4 mile leg. Boy, I wish I had gotten that one!! :). I will rock it, it will all be good.

Tomorrow night I was invited to attend the Idlewild Ball (yep, one of the Debutante balls). I already have a dress, but I want to get some new jewelry to punch it up (it's a black gown). It will be a ton of fun! I wanted to go to Banana Republic to look at their stuff, but I may not have time.

At some point this weekend, I need to finalize the grocery list for Thanksgiving and head to the store. I want to get that done this weekend because I have this feeling the store will get busier the closer to Thanksgiving we get! I do love that Tom Thumb has all the "essentials" placed together at the front of the store (well, Turkey in the back of course). But the pie stuff is together, gravy stuff, etc. You get the point. Just makes life easier. Even though, more than likely I will forget something. I always do!

Everybody have a happy and wonderful Friday. Even though it's dreary, I am feeling pretty good. It's payday -- that helps :). I am waiting for my registration to clear for an OSHA class - Construction Standards. Now that I am staring at a construction site, it might be very interesting. I am hoping there are still slots available!

And one more thing -- Christmas music should NOT be played 24/7 on the radio before Thanksgiving. Yes, i am buying gifts (even bought a 2 foot purple tinsel tree) but they certainly won't be wrapped before Thanksgiving and the tree won't be put out until Friday! (Well, the tree will be placed high on a shelf because of Frik and Frak.) Come on people. Let's be thankful before heading into craziness!!!

Later!

Weekend Overview

The weekend has come and gone. I think I watched more football in the past two days then I watched all season long! Last night I went to Humperdinks with some friends for the A&M/TCU/Tech games (all on at the same time). Humperdinks is pretty much the only place we could think that would actually have the all the games on that we could watch in the same area. WAY too much stimulation! We were watching 3 tvs all in a row. A&M lost. I wasn't really expecting a win against OU however I at least expected us to show up for the game. Yeah, um, no more comments..... :). Today I was back at Humperdinks to watch the Cowboy game. The Cowboys didn't show up for that game either. Dang it was boring! And the Cowboys lost. It was rather pathetic. I am hoping next week A&M will pull a win against Baylor.... mostly because I have a bet with Taylor on the game and I'd like the win it :). By the way, congrats to TCU on 10-0! That is very impressive.

Other than that, everything is the same. I am winding down from the weekend and getting prepped for the week to come. I had to do some rearranging because the carpet cleaners are coming tomorrow. Simon and Sierra will be locked in the bathroom all day -- I know they will be thrilled with that......

Happy Sunday Night!

Kitten Pics

Some baby pictures I hadn't shared yet! These were taken when Edward and Jasper were about 6 weeks old. Enjoy :).

Pictures

Halloween Night - 2009. Me and Dawn at a party at her friend's house.

Trying to save a patient (the mask was CREEPY!!!). And yes, he was Michael Jackson, DOA.......

Pumpkins that were carved for the Higginbotham party last weekend (Oct. 24). Mine is the second from the left. :).

Self portrait -- me before the Higginbotham party (a wine stain made it a little hard to wear the mother nature costume last night, hence the change!)

Not a Halloween picture, but it is a cute one of me and Natalie's baby, Ally. I look a mess because I had literally just come in from the rain.
