Since I am getting back into running, I had to get a new pair of running shoes. The ones I've been running in are at least 5 years old. Not a good choice to run in! So, for my birthday my Mom gave me some money and I promptly went and purchased a sparkling, brand new pair of running shoes!
Another birthday present I got was from my friends Heather and Marcy. For those of you that don't know, they both had baby boys in June. They got me a bracelet with my children's names and birthstones. The picture doesn't do it justice. It is very pretty and I just love it!!
Tom got me an mp3 player that is really small so I can wear it when I run. He also got me a CD by the Offspring. He heard a song on his way to Pittsburgh shortly before Christmas and it has my name in it. The funny thing is that Brandy and I were just talking about how there isn't a song that has "Christy" in it. Anyway, the song by the Offspring is called, "Kristy, are you doing okay"? It really isn't that romantic - nothing like "Brandy, you're a fine girl..." or "Sweet Melissa", etc. In fact, I think the gist of the song is that Kristy was abused in some way when she was a kid and he wants to know how she's faring. So, no, the song itself isn't romantic. But I do think the gesture of Tom hearing it and buying me the CD was. And it turns out to be a really good CD.
Well, it is getting late, so I must go. I'll leave you with a snapshot of Harlie from the other night. This picture was taken at 6:58pm!!! She was really wiped out that day! And no, she does NOT sleep with a pillow - especially a gargantuan one like that. We put it in there so she could sit up and look at her books while her feeding finished up. She didn't last 5 minutes. We removed the pillow and she slept soundly all night.
Take care,
Christy

Happy Birthday Christy! I hope you enjoy your shoes. I actually have the exact same ones and I LOVE them! You're motivating me to want to run a 10K!!
Kristen,
You could come down for the Ukrops one - you have a place to stay!
