This is the funniest picture of the weekend. I had just finished some mile repeats in Audubon park on Christmas eve morning. The temp started to drop and all I could find in the car was an orange shirt and blue sweater. Dave and I went straight to Port of Call- a burger for him and a Monsoon for me. I look so happy- I guess I forgot it was the middle of the day! (Dave raised an eyebrow at my order)little voice again: way to make good choices, Damie!
We spent the rest of the day in the French Quarter. I kept getting heckled as an Auburn fan but could not figure out why. I finally figured it out and just decided to take my orange shirt off and freeze to prove my Louisiana loyalty.
I made it to church and dinner that evening, but I fizzled out and did not participate in the caroling and other festivities. At some point, I told Dave I was a little under the weather and calling it a night. I heard him mutter something about a Monsoon....
But I was back on track for Christmas day. It is debatable whether or not I have been good this year, but as long as I keep getting presents, I will continue to have my current behavior reinforced.
A new pair of Vibrams- I already have the Classics, and now I have the KSOs. I wore them all day long and just having them on my feet made me want to go for a run. I have recently been running all of my miles in shoes and have never quite been consistent in getting in more barefoot miles. All I have to do is make it happen and reap the benefits. 
A painting from Key West's Sharon Wells. Key West has some good similarities to New Orleans in color and style with their homes. This is a great picture and can't wait to add it to our art collection. 
I can't wait to wear this to swim practice tomorrow- my new Saints Superbowl Champions towel and my new TCB suit. Everyone, please tell me that you know the lightening bolt symbol with TCB is from Elvis and it means TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS. TCB to me is like HTFU. Dave did not know what TCB meant and I almost had a heart attack. 
My favorite gift so far- James and Steph donated to a rescue group and saved a dog! The ornament with the dog's picture in it is the exact dog that was given a home in a New Hampshire rescue- a no kill shelter- on my behalf. This was such a touching present- definitely meant a lot to me. 
And a Kindle. I have refused to buy a Kindle- I love holding a book- going to the library, collecting piles of books, etc... I guess no one will know now if I am reading a real book or a romance novel. hmmm..... but just for the record, the first book I downloaded was The Count of Monte Christo- one of my all time faves and it was free. Of course I am only downloading free books right now because I am thrifty like that. If anyone knows how to download free books for the kindle, please let me know!
