I’m a horrible blogger

Ahem.  Who’s been busy?  Raise your hand!  Who’s NOT busy?  Says no one ever never.  That’s not why this blog is horrible.  It’s horrible because there are no pictures, no recipe.  You really need to make the White Chicken Chili I mention….there will be pictures and a recipe.  Pinky promise.  Oh hey, I could throw in a couple of pictures that have made me chuckle…that I stole from somewhere.  Let’s do that and call it good for now. FOUND THE LINK TO THE White Chicken Chili.  It is AMAZING.  I SWAR.  See?!!  I’m only a little horrible now.
PS All pictures stolen from the wide web of the world.  And if you don’t understand the whole ermagerd thing, then you’re just not living with a teenager silly.
I just wasted about five minutes of my life trying to figure out how to add a folder to my gallery on my phone.  I have a habit of taking pictures of recipes I want to try.  And I wanted to separate the recipes out from the other stupid pictures I take.  Can’t do it.  Bummer.  I wonder if there’s an app for that?
Life has been whizzing by.  I’ve successfully finished painting the piece of furniture I picked up on the side of the road for $20 when the price tag said $25 but the dude didn’t want all of my scrounged change writers desk that is in our kitchen and a chest that was at the foot of my bed. Maybe you want to see pictures?

Not my desk.

I’m itching to paint my desk and filing cabinet now but did I mention a baby quilt that I need to get finished?  I tried to finish the baby quilt last weekend, but our one and only fabric store is moving to a bigger location and instead of moving the inventory they are selling it at ridiculous prices.  I did not have patience to wade through the bargain shoppers that were in line to score 90% off.  I also don’t do Black Friday sales.  Tells you something about my patience levels.
The other thing that drove me crazy last weekend?  I had a gift card to Dutch Bros.  I had no energy.  I think, great!  I will try one of the Red Bull infused drinks.  It was free coffee day, everyone in town that was not at the fabric store was in line and causing traffic jams for a stupid free coffee at Dutch Bros.
Running…I’m doing it.  Tapering, so far, has not been too nasty.  I haven’t decreased my mid-week runs…just the long runs are getting shorter.  I just ran my last long run of 11 miles.  Sunday is the big day.  I run slower that most people and I run faster than most people.  There, I covered both groups of people. I’d love to run #3 in less than 5 hours…so anything with a four in front of it will have me on cloud 9.  The time to beat from last year is 5:22ish.  First year was 6:05ish.  See? I improve.  I will just slightly kill myself to run it in less than 5 hours.  Slightly.
KT tape…in pink.  Just use it!  I taped up my right calf on Sunday using the “calf strain” instructions.  Guess which calf hurt and which didn’t after the run?  You can bet I will be taping both calves on Sunday!  I don’t know how that stuff works, but I’m a believer.  I guess it’s something new call science?

Not me doing yergah.

Over the weekend, I went all Betty Crocker.  I made White Chicken Chili…which is always amazing.  I have a precooked pizza crust made in the bread machine raring to go on Wednesday night, and I made two batches of apple crisp.  Not a fan as I did something wrong.  It tastes good, but it doesn’t look right.  I’m thinking the butter wasn’t cold enough when I cut it in for the topping?
That’s pretty much it.  I laughed because I came to work to relax.  The weekends have been really busy and I’m trying to squeeze in as much as possible before the weather turns me into a shut in.  I like the snow, I really do.  I like being inside with something warm to drink and candles glowing all around.  I’m going to like it a lot more now that I have a treadmill.  I should put candles around my treadmill.
Ooohh…must create a playlist for the marathon.  Kind of cutting it close.
