Triple F

My computer has been having issues so I have had to leave it at work with the technology people the past few nights. All that to say, I have not had a chance to download our vacation pics from my camera yet. I will post about the trip when I get the pics. For now, you will have to settle for a Friday Fab Five. Posting this Triple F has highlighted the fact that I don't post very often. I wonder if anyone is reading...and if they are...if they care.


1. 4 day week. We got back from our trip Monday evening so it was a 4 day week. That is really all the explanation this one needs.


2. Fun Wednesday night small group. Justin and I have missed the past few weeks of small group (bible study) since I had a few weeks of late nights at work and then we went out of town. This week we had a great bible study and had fun seeing everyone since we had a big group!


3. The end of a vacation. The second half of our California vacation fell in this week. We had a great time and saw some beautiful sites. I will post more about that later. One of my favorite parts of the trip was my 15 mile run along Monterey Bay and onto 17 mile drive. Beautiful weather, beautiful views, great run.



4. Friday run and working from home. Since I am not too busy at work right now, I am working from home today. I did an early speed session run this morning and now I'm sitting at the dining table with the TV on.



5. My bed with my husband. On our trip, I slept on an air mattress in the Dishmon's living room and Justin slept on the couch next to me. It is so nice to be home, in my own bed, with my husband to cuddle.

Fab Five #2

Evidently I am horrible at posting Fab Five's. So here goes a quick one before it is too late.

1. A great homecoming weekend in Waco with Ashley and Bryan, a bonfire, a football game, a hilarious hotel situation, and a night of country rock band. Which by the way, I am awesome at country rock band.

2. A Cowboy's win on Sunday with the folks.

3. An uneventful workweek with relatively few hours.

4. A fun Friday today running 8 miles (in the cold and rain but still fun) and working at home in my Baylor hoodie.

5. My hair looked awesome today. I worked from home so I got to let it dry all the way by itself which I rarely get to do.

My First Fab Five

I am following the lead of a fellow blogger and posting my Friday Fab Five (one day late b/c I forgot to finish and post last night after work). Below are 5 things I am thankful for this week. Maybe this will be a weekly occurrence...only time will tell.

1. The Texas State Fair. Justin and I went to the fair last night for the second time. It was spur of the moment b/c Ashley and her boyfriend were going and wanted to park one of their cars at our house. It was $4 admission after 5 with a coke product. So we went and had a great time. The petting zoo was fun for the second time...they have a giraffe, a zebra, and many other animals. I had my second Fletcher's corndog, twisted tators, and a funnel cake. After all, it is all about the food. That's me in the wheel of a monster truck at the fair.

2. A Great Sunday. On Sunday, I got to go on a great 12.5 mile run, followed by church, and then shopping. Then when Justin got home, we watched the Cowboy's beat Kansas City.


3. Pumpkins. We had a whole bag of candy corn pumpkins in our conference room at work and I got to eat some every day.



4. Not bad schedule. We worked all day on Saturday but the rest of the week has not been late nights which is a blessing for this project. This is my 3rd year on this project and the best hours so far.

5. Black Flats. I got the cutest black flats on my Sunday shopping trip. They are pointy toe with two ruffles on the front. I wore them twice this week :)

Football and the Fair

Not sure why I haven't updated lately. Alot has been going on so it is not for lack of interesting material. We have been to 3 Baylor games resulting in 1 loss and 2 wins. Bryan and Ashley went to all 3 games with us and we got to eat at Heitmiller, Ninfa's, and Bushes! The Morris' made it to 2 of the games, well 1 game with all 3 kids and 1 game with Walker and Aaron. This Saturday it was pouring down rain in Waco. We braved the weather and sat in the rain under our poncho's or raincoats for the first half. It stopped raining for the second half but we were still wet when we got back to Dallas. We had fun anyway and were glad to not be hot like the other 2 games. We also had Sophie June's 2nd birthday and Ford's baptism. Justin and I took this past Monday off and went to the State Fair of Texas. As usual, it was a great time. We sampled many fried favs including fried butter, fried queso, and a fried dinner roll. My favorite was definitely the fried queso! We also saw our friend Big Tex, some farm animals, and the car show. Today we had a football party with Ashley and Bryan. Too bad the Cowboy's lost :( You may want to visit Kara's shutterfly page for more

birthday pics as well as other family photos....turns out I didn't get very many. http://morrisfamilysnapshots.shutterfly.com/

Miss June hamming it up at the Baylor game.

The birthday girl.

Fried Butter...it is better than it sounds!

Hi Big Tex.

Justin's rain skirt at the Baylor game.

It's all about the birthday girl

I made a shutterfly website since I upload all my pictures there any way for storage. With the website, anyone can view all my pictures that I share. I just uploaded my scrapbook pages from the book I made Sophie June for her birthday. So if you want to see my very first digital (or any for that matter) scrapbook pages, go over and take a look.

Twitter/Facebook Hookup

I am sure all of you have been on pins and needles wondering what I am doing every second of the day...so you check my twitter feed...and nothing. Well, I have remedied that situation. I have been updating my facebook status and neglecting my twitter status. The reason is simply I have more friends on facebook and therefore get more responses. But there is not a way to post your facebook status to your blogger blog and so my twitter status would sit at the top of my blog for weeks without an update. Today, I hooked up an application that will publish my twitter status to facebook. So now, I update my twitter status...the app sends it to facebook...and the twitter button posts it to my twitter feed on my blog :) Now you never have to wonder what I am doing. Of course, I could have saved myself the trouble and just told you that I am at work which would cover my status most of the time but what would I have done on my lunch hour out at a client all alone!

Lindsay Needs

Ok, I read this on someone's blog and decided to try it. Then I thought my results were funny, so I decided to post it. You type your name into the Google search bar and type "needs" after it (i.e. "Lindsay needs"). Then write down the first 10 things that come up.

1. Lindsay (still) needs coffee.

Ha, I guess that's true...I never drink coffee so I probably need some.

2. Lindsay needs to go to rehab.

Someone isn't telling me something

3. Lindsay needs a bra.

Wait...I hate bra's

4. Skinny Lindsay needs some food.

I wish that were true

5. Lindsay needs to lighten up.

I'll take that one to heart

6. Lindsay needs to stop wearing fur.

That's wrong with wearing fur? In the words of my husband...God gave us the animals for a reason.

7. Lindsay needs Dr. Drew...and a paycheck.

Odd

8. Lindsay needs help!

I do!

9. Lindsay needs a housekeeper.

This is my favorite :)

10. Lindsay needs a hug.

Or is this...

It's my blog and I'll write boring, pointless posts if I want...so no complaints!
