#TBT to the last few times I sat on Santa’s lap. It wasn’t weird when I was 8. But when I was 33 and he wouldn’t pose for a picture with me unless I sat on his lap? That’s a little strange. #santascoming #christmas #santaclaus (at Santa’s Workshop, North Pole)

Today.
I have some big hair today. The higher the hair, the closer to God!
It’s Christmas Eve Eve…My favorite day of the year!
Also, I’m feeling Christmassy in my red sweater…even though the weather feels more like April as it’s been raining all night and day!
A run must happen tonight! Make me do it!

Merry Christmas Eve Eve friends!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!
And two-o-nine is a wonderful friend.

I came home the other day to find the first package waiting for me. Some fabulous new running tights? Yes please! I’m obsessed. The color, the pattern, and they fit perfectly. Brooke knows me.

And then she told me another package would be delivered the next day. Because she spoils me!

I plan on getting fully immersed in Hanson’s…And I can’t wait to read The Oatmeal’s book.

The internet is full of some pretty awesome people. I’m so lucky to know Brooke and Andrew. Sister wives for life!!

Well, Bullocks.
Alternatively, “This is why Melissa can’t have nice things.”

My phone fell out of my hoodie pocket while I was getting laundry out of the dryer. It fell face-first onto the concrete floor of my basement and the above photo is the only damage done. I “fixed” the case with some packing tape because I’m cool like that (read: ghetto) and hope that Santa (mom) takes pity on me and will order a new one! Or that superglue will work.

Also, does that second picture annoy anyone else? My clothes are disorganized and creepin’ out of my dresser drawers at the moment. I need more storage space! For now, I shove things inside and then wonder why my t-shirts are wrinkled. But apparently I can’t be bothered to worry about making them fit into the drawers at the moment. First world problems with Melissa.

I had a great run tonight…4 miles, negative splits, set to Christmas music. My night was complete with a viewing of “The Holiday” by candlelight.

My heart is full today. Christmas really IS about the giving. It’s good to remember that. 🙂

Sweet dreams friends!

Merry Christmas Eve!

It’s been a doozy of the past 36 hours. I managed to get that stomach bug that’s going around and ugh, was it bad! Of course it happened while I was at my bffs house and spending the weekend with my besties. I was miserable. This toast is the first food I’ve eaten since 10pm Sunday night.

But most importantly, I got a secret Santa gift in the mail yesterday! Hayley! Thank you so much! I’ve wanted to read this book for a long time! It came from UPS last night, but I was too weak to get up and slept about 13 hours yesterday!

I’m so behind on stuff now…like all my wrapping! But I’m feeling like i can do it now. A stomach bug is a terrible way to lose 5 pounds however!

So thank you got the wonderful gift! And merry Christmas friends!

My night in pictures:

I had a really good hair day. It seemed such a shame to ruin it with a run. So i snapped a picture of my perky ponytail before all was lost. I got my run in too. I Sent Becky a snapchat to prove it. Success!

Tomorrow is sweater and snack day at work. I’m getting a lot of mileage out of my ugly sweater this year! I also made peanut butter cups to take to work for my snack contribution. They’re easy, except I left them in the fridge for too long, now the chocolate is hard to cut. First world problems.

The roomie and I are chilling, watching The Polar Express, and enjoying our Christmas lights.

One of our smoke detectors is dying. Its chirps are driving me nuts! I can’t figure out which one it is! Argh!

Have a great night friends!
