Hello my pretties!\u00a0 I have a confession to make to you.\u00a0 Listen and don’t judge.<\/p>\n

I totally pulled out the heating blanket and put it on the bed for warmth last night. :D\u00a0 I couldn’t take the freezing cold sheets any longer!\u00a0 I didn’t want to since it’s still technically only September but I was just getting too cold in bed.\u00a0 It’s chilly here but the rain and dampness is what makes this situation worse because that’s a crappy kind of cold that chills your core.<\/p>\n

So last night I snuggled in bed with the heating blanket and slept all snug toasty with it.\u00a0 I am not ashamed!<\/p>\n

And also for the first time ever, Scott and I are watching Dancing with the Stars.\u00a0 Let me explain, I like reality TV about as much as I like being punched in the throat.\u00a0 It is just not my thing.<\/p>\n

However, three of the contestants interested me this season.<\/p>\n

Chuck Liddell who was (is still?) an MMA guy.\u00a0 If you don’t watch or dig on MMA stuff I totally get that.\u00a0 I don’t watch fights too much myself because too many of the fighters just drop to the ground and piss around grabbing at each other.\u00a0 If I’m watching a fight then I want to see a fight.\u00a0 Anyway, that’s tangential and pointless blabber. ;)\u00a0 I wanted to see an MMA guy try and dance because I thought hilarity would ensue.<\/p>\n

Next up on my list was Mark Dacascos, whom most people know as The Chairman on Iron Chef America.\u00a0 However, he’s an accomplished martial artist and has some pretty sweet moves.\u00a0 My favorite film of his is Brotherhood of the Wolf (French).\u00a0 He’s fantastic!\u00a0 And he also reminds me of my hunnies. :D\u00a0 If I needed someone to play Scott in a movie, it would be Marc because they look very similar (only Marc is slightly darker skinned).<\/p>\n

And then finally, Melissa Joan Hart of Sabrina, the Teenage Witch fame.\u00a0 Except I go back old school and know her from Clarissa Explains It All (anyone? anyone?).\u00a0 Just like I know Christine Taylor (Ben Stiller’s wife, Brady Bunch, Friends) from Hey Dude.\u00a0 Any other Nickelodeon: The Early Years poeple out there?<\/p>\n

Holla!<\/p>\n

And because of all of that, I risked a punch in the throat.<\/p>\n

It wasn’t so bad, I actually am enjoying the show.\u00a0 Chuck, while not great, is a whole lot better than I thought he would be!\u00a0 I do think he’s going to leave soon though.\u00a0 Mark Dacascos rocks it.\u00a0 But he needs to lose the karate hands gimmick because it’s old and not funny.\u00a0 And Melissa, well, Melissa needs some assistance.\u00a0 She’s a little rough around the edges.\u00a0 I’m behind though so don’t tell me who got kicked off! :D<\/p>\n

\"Grapes<\/p>\n

Anyone else watch?\u00a0 I snacked on some frozen grapes while watching.\u00a0 Mmmm\u00a0 After the show is when I headed up to bed to read.\u00a0 In case the timeline seemed off!<\/p>\n

I got up this morning determined to run a good distance!\u00a0 And I did, 4 miles!\u00a0 In the damp cold and rain.\u00a0 Ewwww!\u00a0 But I ran it and felt tons better.<\/p>\n

\"Chocolate<\/p>\n

Little bit of CS<\/abbr> and then I stretched and showered.\u00a0 It was raining too hard to take Rocky out for his walk plus I was freezing cold.\u00a0 I’m telling you the cold is getting to me a lot worse than it did last year.\u00a0 Brrr!<\/p>\n

After a shower it was time for some breakfast eats!<\/p>\n

\"Coffee<\/p>\n

Nectarine oats, oh how it’s been too long.\u00a0 I have one nectarine left and then our love affair is over till next summer.\u00a0 What to do with my oats now?! *sigh*<\/p>\n

I busted my hump today in the office.\u00a0 Most of it involved correspondence but I’m trying to get things organized and in place before my trip and for my trip.\u00a0 Details on that coming soon! :D<\/p>\n

I took Rocky out for his walk and it was still raining. Ugh!\u00a0 It was like a heavy misty rain, you know that kind?\u00a0 There’s not a whole lot you can do to battle it.\u00a0 We powered through and made it back home quickly.<\/p>\n

I cleaned and did more officey things.\u00a0 I have been a busy sister today!\u00a0 And then I made lunch which did not help my cold state of being.<\/p>\n

\"Salad<\/a><\/p>\n

Tuna salad on chopped chard.\u00a0 The tuna had:<\/p>\n
