Three Things Thursday..

(1) I started on some antibiotics last night for the cough-from-hell. I am waiting (im)patiently for this cough to now exit stage left. And for the record, I think the term "walking pneumonia" is stupid. I'm looking forward to the Garmin files that don't have those marked dips in pace, showing where I had to pull off to the side of the road and cough my brains out. And the ones that don't have my HR through the roof on an easy run, because my lungs are broken; turns out that oxygen is kinda key to running. Who knew?

(2) Because I'm self-consumed with my cough, I forgot to mention my sister's wedding shower was last weekend. I cannot believe that in 7.5 weeks, my baby sister will be someone's wife. Yikes! A couple pictures:

Caitlyn's getting WAY too big!!! 
Delish cake! 
(3) Thanksgiving is in ONE week, and I'm lucky enough to not have to travel. My mom and sisters are making the trek to my house. The one hitch in this delightful plan is that I.Do.Not.Cook. So what does one do in this scenario? Whole Foods baby! I basically re-mortgaged my house, and will be picking up Thanksgiving dinner on Wednesday night. Mom will swoop into the homeland Thursday morning and do the rest. I might put out chips and dip too - because I'm wicked high class. 

Happy Training!

    We're hosting for the first time too. I'm totally nervous about it. I figure if all else fails, we can order pizza.

    I love hosting Thanksgiving. I love cooking though. And yes, it is much cheaper. I bet the Whole Foods dinner will be delicious though, yum!

    I don't even want to imagine how much you paid for that Thanksgiving dinner, but I would totally do the same thing.
    Not. A. Cook.

    I hope you're feeling better, being sick sucks and kudos for you that you are running through it.

    That cake rocks and your daughter is adorable.

    Ugh... hope those antibiotics kick in fast! Nothing worse than a lagging cough to make you feel pathetic! And don't sweat the pace/heartrate. Most people would let this sideline them... but not you!!!

    I've heard great things about Whole Food's thanksgiving dinners! :)
