The greatness of "home"

I woke up to to the most amazingly wonderful smell on the planet. A smell that could ruin my race tomorrow.

I'm taunting you!

My mom and stepdad are amazingly awesome and left some regular (read: full caffeine) coffee for me, however, I had to resist. It's still sitting over there, in the pot, staring at me. But instead, I boiled some water and put in a decaf instant coffee bag. Yeah, not nearly the same. I sense a Starbucks run in my near future.

However, as I was opening the cabinet to get a mug, I saw something that made me forget about that evil coffee pot for a few seconds.

1...2...3.....awwwwwww.

Like I said, amazingly awesome :)

Last night my mom and I made lasagna. She told me earlier in the week, "Do you want anything specific for dinner on Thursday? I remember something about carb loading from when you were on the swim team". And then she told me we were making lasagna and while it was in the oven we decorated the Christmas tree. I'm so glad I traveled up a day early!

My mom told me last night that he coworkers were impressed that I'm running nine miles tomorrow. I didn't have the heart to tell her about Kara and Alyssa running 50 and 55-miles races.

Another awesome thing? They got a treadmill a few months ago and they HAVEN'T USED IT! Not once! I'll let that sink in a while.

Yeah...I'm pretty sure I'll be on it Sunday morning. Happy early birthday to me!


What are YOU excited about for the weekend?

Are your parents totally awesome, too?
