On Sunday morning we will get up at the FREEZING crack of dawn and after dropping Rich off at the start line (possibly dressed like Randy, the little brother in A Christmas Story) Nicole and I will head to Starbucks in Five Points where we will load up on coffee and cheer him on as he speeds by (and possibly collect a couple layers of clothing if he hasn't already thrown them on the side of the road)!
It is just our luck that it has been spring for the last several weeks and NOW it decides to turn winter on us :( But Rich is upbeat about it...maybe he will switch his goal from running a certain time, to surviving a brutal below freezing run on the hills of Birmingham! Nicole and I have changed our goal from a leisurely morning of being team support and discussing all kinds of stuff we never have time to talk about, to can we time our roadside stops and enthusiastic cheering on to under 5 minutes (cause we will only be running from the car to the designated cheering on spot and will be shedding no clothes along the way)!! Even though we have done no training she and I feel confident we can do our part...I'll let you know...
On another note it's Five For Friday time...this week some new favorite things!
I love this glass jar with the sweet bird stopper. I found it in Seaside a couple weeks ago and now it holds bubble bath...ahhh!
I wrote about the black bensimon lace ups last summer. I logged many miles in London and Paris with them. I found the navy blue slip-ons in Rosemary Beach recently and have enjoyed them during our recent spring weather. A note about these shoes, they are European and while they have US sizes in them...it's best to try them on!
Ironing board cover from www.potterybarn.com ...makes me want to...iron!
Pillows are an inexpensive way to change up a room...
Avenue Sea in downtown Panama City always has beautiful pillows for every season and room!
And finally...the metal blue bird that I found at my favorite poke about shop on the west end of the beach...The Beach House Market
