Shortcake's Brain Blurts

I'm having a hard time focusing. Right now all I can think about are the Mocha Brownies I made last night. They didn't even turn out right, and I STILL want them!! So today you will get a few random thoughts before I try to finish up a few things before the weekend officially begins.

If you haven't seen it on Facebook yet, here's Courtney, Phil, and I starting our half marathon!


It's been beautiful outside the past few days and it makes me want to run. But I'm trying to be good to my body and give it a full week of rest. So nothing intense until Monday. But today I will have walked 4 miles. Hopefully that's ok!

If I make these mocha brownies again and they turn out right, I will definitely share the recipe.

I am signing up with a team to run a 10K at the Fort Worth Zoo on April 17th. We are going to be the Southwestern Squirrels and we have a mascot and everything!

I am going to a Women's Conference at church tomorrow and am really looking forward to it!

I'm planning to go to Romania for a mission trip July 15-27, this summer. It's something I've always wanted to do and I can't believe how great it's working out. I will be sending out a letter soon!

I miss my family ... a LOT!

I wish I could spend more time outside, gardening, playing softball, playing tennis, camping, taking care of animals, running, breathing in fresh air, being warm...

I am thankful for my job. I love the people I work with. I know there are many, many people who are un-employed, so on the days that it's hard to be sitting inside at work, instead of complaining or whining I thank God for providing me with a job.

I love to bake, but I'm still deciding if that's something I'd want to do as a job the rest of my life.

I am only 8 lbs. away from my goal weight. I can't believe I am so close!

Hope you all have a great weekend!
