Thank you, thank you...you shouldn't have.

So I got a fun blog award last week and have been a slacker putting it up.  I've seen this floating around for a couple weeks so it was fun to receive it!  Thanks to Katherine at Forward Foot Strides!  So with this award I have to list my ten fave things...and you know how I love top ten lists. ; )

10.  My family

9.  People who turn the sprinklers on in the morning - it helps cool me off during my run!

8.  Cherry coke

7.  Cats that don't bring in mice : )

6.  The color blue

5.  Fall racing

4.  A clean house - which rarely happens, but man when it does, it's the best.

3.  Fried pickles from the The Garden Restaurant - believe me, they're gooooood!

2.  New shoes

1.  Hugs out of nowhere from my kids!

So now I have to shout out to the blogs I like. I thought it'd be fun to send it out to the fellas. They always leave great comments with advice and encouragment.  Thanks guys - you're great to us ladies in blogland!
