Thursday Thoughts

Linking up with Sar for some Thursday Thoughts...

(1) Cancer is THE enemy!  Especially when it takes children before they've had a chance to grow and live and just enjoy so many of the normal, everyday things that we take for granted.  Lane Goodwin, who I blogged about here, gained his angel wings yesterday.  He was a true hero!  I was so amazed and truly touched by his global reach to spread awareness in his last month of life.  His family has plans to start a foundation so I'm interested to find out more about it in the coming months.  I wish this horrible disease didn't exist.  It is truly tragic.

(2) On a lighter note, I just love Sara Bareilles.  Definitely becoming one of my favorites.  Mostly thanks to my Adele Pandora station ironically enough!  *Note for anyone buying me Christmas presents this year:  I could see myself pretty thrilled to own her Little Voice album :)

(3) I am excited that the weather hasn't become too cold yet.  Trying to hold onto fall for as long as possible because these Northeast winters are no joke!  Hoping to get in at least one decent run outside this weekend!

(4) Couldn't be more excited to have 15 followers via GFC now.  I know that is beyond low for most of you fine folks, but I am way pumped!  My goal was to get 20 followers by the end of the year, but I may have to reassess.  Either way, I am taking #12 on my 30 before 30 list to heart and attempting to become a more active blogger.  I am loving it!  When I reach my goal, I want to reward myself by finding out how I can get a button made.  It might be simplier than I think...

(5) I'm also starting to get the hang of twitter and instagram.  I know, I know.  Am I from the Stone Age or what?  Maybe I'm just an old fashion pen and paper kinda gal.  Regardless, I am definitely making the effort!  You can find me on both - @alhadventures!

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!

Thursday Thoughts 

(in the style of Peter King's MMQB Ten Things I Think I Think)

1) I think that I couldn't be more excited about the long weekend vacation Chris and I have planned beginning tomorrow morning!  Definitely need a break from the day in and day out craziness of life.  And it should be fun to spend some time in the quaint little city of Providence with no car and my favorite mister :)

2) I think I am ready to get back to football!!  Wait, do I technically ever really take a break from it?  Hmmm....regardless, looking forward to watching the guys in black and orange on Sundays!  All I gotta say is WHO DEY!!!

3) Speaking of Who Dey...I think that Chad Johnson most definitely did NOT head butt that crazy woman.  Chad has always been one of my favorites so I really do hope that everything ends up working out for him in the end.

4) I think I am a little bit sad that I probably had my last bright summer color mani/pedi of the year this week.  Summer is slowly, but surely rolling to an end.  The good news is you can still head over to Shine On and sign up for an awesome nail polish swap.  But, just like summer, sign ups are ending soon...tomorrow actually!!

Love this bright blue :)

5) I think I am likely not ready for my 4-mile Back to Football Run in Central Park next week.  But, hey, I got free entry so at least I didn't have to waste any hard earned cash on it.  Seriously though, my left calf has been in some decent pain for the past couple of days.  Here's hoping I walk it out in Providence :)

6) I think I can't believe how big my niece is getting.  She is the cutest little thing EVER.  Love her to pieces!!!

Brinley is ready for some football, too!!

7) I think I am WAY proud of myself for organizing my closet and dresser this past weekend.  It was no easy chore, but I have a massive amount of clothes to donate now.  Who wouldn't feel good about that?

8) I think I am quite unhappy that facebook finally forced me into timeline.  Boo :(

9) I think it is hard to believe my baby brother is starting his senior year of college. He's all grown up now, but he'll always be my little bubsa :)

Circa 2010 in Hawaii...

10) I think I absolutely LOVE mini cupcakes!  LOVE!!

Hope you all have a fabulous Thursday!!
