Just got home from the hospital after a quick blood transfusion. Apparently my red blood cell count was low. I actually could tell this time -- when I went for a walk with Amy LaRue (in town for work - love that!) yesterday morning, I felt pretty tired when we got home and I was pooped the rest of the day. This may also be due to our weekend trip down to Newport Beach, but that was really pure relaxation + free entertainment by my cuuuuuuute nephews.

Lunch with Steph & Maggie last week...


Plus, I got to have lunch with my work friends last week. Note: I am always happy to be an excuse for a long lunch!




I'm extremely bummed I can't go to Chicago this weekend for the 1/2 marathon. Pam, LaRue, Shannon, Kristie, and Teal will be running. But I know Alicia has been arranging an entire cheering section - including mi madre & mi padre, so I'll be sure get some good photos! I know they have all been training their little butts off, an I am SO impressed. This time I plan to show my support by eating 13 It's Its (1 per mile, ya know).

love,
