things on this end.\u00a0 I got up at 7:30 this morning scoring me 8 1\/2 hours of sleep.\u00a0 YES!\u00a0 I took care of Rocks and busted out for my run.\u00a0 According to my training plan, today is supposed to be a rest day.\u00a0 However, I didn&#8217;t run Wednesday or Thursday so for mental health&#8217;s sake I needed to run today.<\/p>\n<p>Do any of you have that?\u00a0 Where you just need to run for peace of mind?\u00a0 Once back home I took Rocky for a walk and then changed back into my jammies.\u00a0 Oh it&#8217;s totally that kind of day.\u00a0 I woke up my loves and then made some breakfast.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-7527\" title=\"Coffee and yogurt \"

for me alone. :p\u00a0 He also had an Annie&#8217;s burrito that I snuck a few bites of.\u00a0 YUM!<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>&#8220;If somebody doesn&#8217;t believe in me, I can&#8217;t believe in

and that means I actually <em>grew up<\/em> in the 80s, not born in the 80s.\u00a0 His movies had a huge impact on my life.\u00a0 At the time we had cable and had the good stations like HBO and Cinemax (before it became Skinemax) and that meant I had access to great movies.\u00a0 John Hughes&#8217; movies weren&#8217;t just for high school kids or college kids.\u00a0 Whether that was his intention or not, they spoke to early teens as well.\u00a0 They were something everyone talked about and could reference constantly.<\/p>\n<p>I loved all his movies but one of my very favorites was Pretty in Pink.\u00a0 Pretty in Pink is about a girl who doesn&#8217;t come from money, starts dating and falls in love with a guy from money.\u00a0 The movie focuses on the battles they fight just because they each come from a different side of town.\u00a0 Her not wanting him to pick her up at home because she&#8217;s embarrassed about her neighborhood.\u00a0 Him trying to take her to a party and realizing no one wants to talk to her.\u00a0 I didn&#8217;t grow up and come from money.\u00a0 I totally know what it&#8217;s like to be her.<\/p>\n<p>The bonus?\u00a0 Her name in the movie was Andie, which is my nickname (sometimes you&#8217;ll see people call me Andie) too!\u00a0 The one huge difference of course is that I hate pink with a passion.\u00a0 But I chose to ignore that. <img src='\/images\/wink.gif' alt=';)' \/><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s one of my favorite scenes from Pretty in Pink.\u00a0 Duckie coming in and professing his love for Andie to some Ottis Redding.\u00a0 For the record, she totally should have been with Duckie. Everyone knows that! (P.S. This is a video. For some reason it&#8217;s not showing up in Google Reader.
