It's Maxie's Gotcha Day.

A year ago today, a little puppy found us. It was cold and snowing outside, and I kept seeing a puppy run in from of the window. In our neighborhood that's not uncommon to see a dog, but you usually see the owner right behind the dog. My husband went outside to get the doggy, and later knocked on doors to ask if anyone was missing a puppy. We took her to the Vet, to have her scanned, and to check her health. She wasn't chipped, and had some minor problems. We never found her owners, and decided to keep her. A year later, she is healthy, and hopefully happy. NEVER in a million years, would I have imagined that I'd have a dog.

After a long day of work.

After a long night of partying!

Being the princess that she is.

100 internet dollars if you know where I got "gotcha day" from.

So, it begins.

Recently, I've decided that I am going to run a 5k. Now, to some of you a 5k may not seem that difficult, but for me it'll be a challenge, as running will be completely new to me. Trust, I've got a long way to go. I not only need to get into shape, I need to lose weight, and build endurance as well. I haven't exercised on a regular basis since sometime last year, so I'm in for a uphill battle. But I'm up for the challenge.

I've already purchased running shoes, but I'll continue to use my walking shoes until I start to actually run. It took me forever to finally pick a pair.

My next step is to buy some sports bras. This should be fun! /sarcasm

Earlier this week I tweeted that I was going to run a 5k, and Tiffany from Moscato and Mayhem wants to run a 5k also. So, we decided that we would blog about our journey.

Today, I walked with my husband and dog. We walked about 1.5 miles. It wasn't too bad.

Has anyone run a 5k? If so, what did you do to prepare?

Every Little Step

I saw this on necolebitchie.com, and I couldn't help but to share. It's a spoof that Wayne Brady, and Mike Tyson did of Every Little Step by Bobby Brown. Please, pay close attention to Mike Tyson's dancing.

Falling

In anticipation for the fall season, here are a few things I’m looking forward to:

Bath and Body Works has candles that are released by the season. The fall season has a few scents that are really good. My favorite is Leaves. Go check it out. You can thank me later.

Until I met my husband, who grew up in Black Mountain, NC, I never visited the mountains of North Carolina during leaf changing season. If you EVER have the chance to go to the mountains during the time of the year when the leaves change colors, please, do yourself a favor, and go!

I took this picture the first time I went. Here are a few more pictures.

Cool weather makes me want to drink hot chocolate.

I love hot chocolate.

The new season of Grey’s Anatomy! The season finale was great. I’m so glad that they are getting back to the old Grey’s. They were all out in left field, for a minute there. I’ve been a fan since season 1, so I’m hoping they stay on the right track.

Speaking of TV, I can’t wait until the new season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. (Don’t judge me!) I look forward to seeing what these ladies are up to.
