Thanks so much to everyone who left such sweet comments a few days ago when I posted about my friend. She was diagnosed with liver cancer and she is only in her early 30's. It's just so unbelievable to me still. She has started chemotherapy and I am praying all the time for her. She is such a strong person and she is fighting hard. I appreciate your thoughts and prayers for her.
The weekend review:
I rotated my tires instead of buying two new ones. The tires for my car cost about 5 times as much as I budgeted. Dear Santa, the Frye boots will have to wait until next year, please bring me tires. Sigh.... At least the dogs are good for another year after a trip to the vet.
My Halloween was spent with the most precious baby girl in the world. I was thrilled when my sis-in-law asked me to join her and my little niece for a Halloween parade. My niece was a bee princess and she was adorable in her little orange tutu and bee wings. She was very cuddly because she is teething and I must admit that baby cuddles are the best thing in the entire world.
I got 6 trick or treaters this year. When I got home from my sis-in-law's house, it was already kind of late so I got some sketchy teenagers and some of them weren't even dressed up. I wouldn't have even opened the door if Scott wasn't home! I bought 4 bags of Halloween candy so I'm glad I don't have to eat ALL of it myself. (ok, ok, so I ate an entire bag of Butterfingers last week before Halloween weekend even started).
For my butterfinger induced state of guilt half marathon training, I ran 10 miles on Sunday. It was the first double digit run of my life and I was thrilled! It's so nice to get on the treadmill, zone out, and forget about everything for a while. Some people are able to think when they run, they sort out all of their problems... not me, not this weekend. I just went blank. I watched the ridiculousness (yes, that should be a word) of VH-1 mega-yachts, listened to good music on the iPod, and felt nothing except for the sweat running down my face. It was the perfect way to spend an afternoon.

Tasha, it's so sad to hear about your friend, but she will continue to be in my prayers. And I'll also keep you in my prayers to be able to pay for new tires!! :-)
Tasha, I am so sorry about your friend. It sounds like she is a fighter and my prayers are with her and her family/friends.
I hate when you have to make sacrifices for things like tires. As I said before, being an adult and responsible is overrated. Your little niece sounds like she was adorable and I cannot believe you only had a few trick or treaters. I’ve heard that a lot of people didn’t get many this year. We didn’t get any because we live in a townhouse. I cannot stand when I see shady teens walking around out of costume. That really bugs me and then they expect to get a ton of candy.
Good for you on running 10 miles on the treadmill. You have come so far and I remember when I was reading about you training for your first 5K. It really is inspiring and amazing!
Great job once again on the running! I am so glad you had fun with your niece....babies are the best ....I am keeping your friend in my prayers! Taking care of our little fur babies can be so exspensive but worth it to me! Maybe santa will bring you both....=)
