Wednesday Randoms

A very busy Wednesday today... but not so busy I'd forget my WRs!

• Spring time means I've been noticing the beautiful Canada geese scoping out some nesting spots. One pair picked a little ledge in the grassy area near the 476 on-ramp. It's up on a hill, but once those little fuzzies are hatched, mama goose will need to be absolutely diligent when supervising so they don't waddle into traffic. Another pair picked the most perfect spot on the side of a pond I pass on the way to work everyday. Good for them. I look forward seeing the babies in a few weeks
• Speaking of the feathered friends, my birds are singing and so content lately. It' easy to be a proud parent when your children are so happy and well behaved (and also make beautiful music!)
• Got my Cake Pop baking set! Also picked up some chocolate and sprinkles and I can't wait to make a batch. I'll be sure to include some pics when I do. And you know I always follow up and keep my word.
• Well, reminiscent of my WRs from last year, Broad Street 2012 will be soon upon us! Having done this last year, I know what to expect and I'm much less concerned about the training. Less is more, I feel. Over training leads to injuries and wasted time. Got a 5 mile run at VF coming up next Sunday. I'll see how I fare and then make a call on whether I want to give the half marathon a shot at the end of May in Philly. Otherwise, I'll have to wait until fall, which allows several months to slack and fall off the training plan. We'll see.
• Can Pennsylvania pleeeease get its act together and bring back the Pizza Hut lunch buffet?? It would really make my day to pay $5 and show up weekly at a most delish buffet.
• Trader Joe's has this salad with an amazing ginger dressing. It's called the super spinach salad, or something like that. Some quinoa, tomatoes, chickpeas, beans, and lots of baby spinach. Might need to get another one tomorrow.
• When is Rock Center on NBC going to let me guest host? I know I won't have the smooth delivery of BWill, but I'm sure after a few lessons I could figure the whole journalism thing out. Just don't make me laugh.
• Vacation time is coming up. Need an awesome getaway!
• 'Sick of' List:
• The Kardashians. Again! We're sooo sick of you. ALL of you.
• Jennifer Hudson and her singing Weight Watchers commercials. We get it. You were fat, you stopped eating, and lost weight. What a concept! We don't need to hear you singing about it every other commercial.
• Hitting every red light on the way to work. I've analyzed my route and thought I had it figured out. Hmm.
• People who lack common sense. There are way, waaay too many of them.
• The big thank you of the week goes to Zyrtec, Flonase, and the inhaler which have reduced my allergies to a mere nuisance instead of a roadblock in my daily life.
