An hilarious and yet sad quote from my dad

We were walking around Fred's yesterday after our Thursday lunch and came across a new find in the coffee/tea isle. I got very excited about it and shared my excitement with dad (as I usually do). Here is a short excerpt from the conversation that followed said discovery.

Tabitha - "I am so excited about this, dad. I can't wait to come back and get some tomorrow! (insert happy dance). In fact, I might have to get some on my way home tonight cause I don't know if I can wait till tomorrow to try it."

Dad - (laughing) "You don't have much of a life, do you?"
(no more happy dancing)

Yeah, I'm a freak and even my dad knows it.

Quite a pickle

Bekah has informed me that The Office has decided to air at 9 on Thursday nights. Yes, if you are thinking that is the same time that Grey's Anatomy airs, you are correct.

This does not bode well for our little "Office, Grey's Thursdays."

WHAT THE CRAP WERE THEY THINKING?!?!?!

I can't say anything else for fear of what my fingers might type with the anger and confusion that is raging through me at this moment.

Just less than a month away folks...

Another reason why I love fall...tv shows start up again! Here are the premiers I am very much looking forward -

Monday night, September 24th:

HEROES is back!! I can't wait to see what nail biting twists they will have this season.

Thursday night, September 27th (my busiest tv night):

The Office at 8 on NBC

Grey's Anatomy at 9 on ABC

And CSI at 9 on CBS

Thursday's have been deemed "Office, Grey's Thursday's" because Bekah (and whoever else can make it) comes over and we watch The Office at 8:30 and at 9 flip over to Grey's. It's a fun night. Oh, and all the while, I'm taping CSI to watch later. Craziness!! I'm interested to see what the show will do this year with losing two of their doctors (Dr. Addison Shepherd and Dr. Burke), George not passing his exam, and a new intern named Lexie Grey. Hmmm, should be full of fun surprises and shocks and I can't wait.

One more thing...my times

Leg #5:
6.08 miles / ran it in 45 minutes and 29 seconds / averages down to 7 min. 28 second per mile

Leg #17:
5.69 miles / ran it in 41 minutes and 49 seconds / averages down to 7 min. 20 sec per mile

Leg #29
6.14 miles / ran it in 49 minutes and 17 seconds / averages down to 8 min 10 sec per mile

Hope that makes sense. :)

And Killer Snails do it again...

I'm glad it's over, but it was fun and I can't wait to do it again next year! My van was great, got to meet a few new people and get reacquainted with a few old friends.

Here is the where the teams start up at Timberline. That is not a leg I look forward to running some day.

Here are my mom and I, lookin' all ready to go: her in her Race Official shirt and I in my running clothes. Every team has to supply the race with 3 volunteers and so my mom got to participate in her own way this year. She said she had a blast. And it was great cause she was stationed at the exchange point that I ran into at the end of my leg (#5) so she had to direct me where to go. The funniest thing about her and the race official shirt was that she decided to wear it again on Saturday when she and my dad came to Seaside and lots of different people kept coming up to her and asking for help because they thought she was a volunteer. And my mom, the go with the flow helpful lady she is acted like she knew what was going on and helped them the best way she could. She's too cute.

Sorry it is such a far away picture but this is Holly, she ran our van's third legs. She was a newbie to the whole world of Hood to Coast and really did an amazing job!

Here is Barb, our van's 4th leg runner. She also did amazingly well. That's her husband, Dan (the Hulk), giving her water. He is one fast dude.

And here is Tony (the tiger). He is a quiet fellow, but very nice and a great runner. FYI: he is not good to have sit in the front seat while your running because he doesn't like to yell out the window. Here I am running up the hill (aka. mountain) that was my last leg (#29).

This year, Nike gave every team two ROAD KILL signs to put on the side of their vans. Very nice of them, I think...and smart. Here is ours at the end of our trip:Our total:
And here are me and my gals waiting for the rest of our team at the wet beach: Holly on the left and Barb on the right. Yeah, I know, I should have worn a jacket.

One more thing about Tabs

I'm all about the Fall weather. I do like Summer and Spring but Fall is where my heart is, weather wise. Yesterday solidified that fact for me when I was so excited that it was rainy and overcast all day (probably the one too). It smelled absolutely fabulously, I wish I could bottle it up and put it in my blog so you all can enjoy it too. It is so wonderful when Fall is here. There is such a crispness in the air, the leaves start turning beautiful shades of orange and yellow, and again, it smells wonderful...oh I can't wait, I'm getting so excited!

Also, I think I use exclamation points too much. What do you think?
