Last night was the NFL Back to Football Run. It definitely wasn’t my strongest race but it was fun… full recap coming later today!

Favorite Five
- Do you ever have those nights when you just don’t want to cook? Or desperately need a dish to pass but just can’t muster the energy to make something complicated? Then this blog is perfect for you: Bran Appetit. I stumbled across it this week and Brandi has a compilation of her own healthy and fast recipes (including desserts). Some of her meals only take 5 minutes (including the Riceless Risotto she posted today)! And they are no cook (use microwave)! Can’t wait to try some of these out.
- Martha at Running in Mommyland wrote a great post about her thoughts on Snooki being a mom.
- If you missed my post yesterday, I mentioned that you should read Meb’s latest post about the Olympic marathon. If you haven’t read it, read it now! Such a great summary in his own words and very inspirational.
- Alysia at Slim Sanity posted a delicious recipe for Black Bean Soup (or chili). PERFECT fall recipe. Now to convince C that he needs to love black beans as much as I do.
- Not to toot my own horn, but I was featured on the RunChat blog yesterday as part of Running Blogs Month! Check it out!

Did you see this two-faced cat? (No, not a big liar.)
And yep, its for real. How crazy is that?! It seriously looks like two different faces. Apparently the two different colored eyes thing is extremely rare.
You know who else has two different colored eyes?
This guy:
And just because this guy might get jealous, I have to post a picture of him:
OK, definitely not the most flattering picture. But what do you expect when you’re a 17 pound cat and your nickname is Big Fats?

OK, crazy cat lady aside… tomorrow I can legitimately say…
“I’m getting married next month.”
Um, wow. HOW CRAZY is that!! After this weekend (when I knock out my entire to do list… OK, I may be dreaming a bit…), ask me how excited and ready I am for that day and I will give you a big YES!

This weekend I am going to watch The Change-Up and Wanderlust. Have you heard anything about either of these movies? I figure it’ll at least be good background noise while I work on wedding stuff.
What are your random thoughts for today? What are you up to this weekend?

Ooh yes!! Best way to spend a weekend!!!
I will have to check out Bran Appetit! I’m always needing new ideas! Congrats on being featured on RunChat! Lastly, YaY for your wedding in one month!!!
Yeah I think you’d like the stuff that she has!
Thanks, girl!
Oh my gosh–I love your big fat cat! I have a grey and white long haired that looks just like that!
I have waaay too many random thoughts today, which is probably due to the fact that I’ve got a free weekend coming up AND we actually have plans! Looking forward to getting in a long run with a good friend, and then grilling out and chilling out. I just need to make it through today…
Happy weekend, and enjoy your last month of wedding madness!
I need to check out Bran Appetit. I am always looking for great new recipes to try. I hope that you are successful in your to do list this weekend. It is crazy to think you have month before your big day when you have been planning for so long.
Definitely are some good ones on there! I know, how do you fill the void of time when wedding planning is over? Hahah.
I lovee the cats!! OMG LOVE them hahaha. I WANT that two faced cat. sooo cute.
Seriously! I can’t stop staring at it because it’s so beautiful, haha.
The black bean soup looks delicious. Love roasted veggies in anything and I’m starting to get into Fall soup-mode.
Good luck with your to-do list. I’ve got a cleaning to-do list this weekend.
Ooh cleaning should be on my to do list but always gets pushed to the side… hope you have a great weekend!!
