Awesome Blossom, Extra Awesome

So, I was going to ramble about how this week will be super awesome because a) It's Thanksgiving and b) It's my birthday, but, then I decided that really, I don't care because I'm all grumpy from not running but I'm just too tired to run and I don't know why because I have no good excuse and this effing sucks.

So, the chances that this week will be really awesome? 65.3%. All you bookies can take that to the bank.

Anyways.

I will force awesome upon you if I must.

Point Numero Uno: I scored a bib for the White Rock Half, which, I'm wildly excited about and almost cried over. Because I was so depressed that I didn't get myself a bib beforehand and realllllly didn't want to fork over $125 for the full. So, I'm thrilled that I gots myself a bib for the half. Yay me.

Point Numero Dos: I got to hear from one of my favorites at church yesterday. He spoke about freedom and Thanksgiving. He, his wife and young son came to America from a war torn Germany in the early 1950s. They learned English by reading DMV manuals and watching soap operas. They became citizens five years after moving here. They have truly accomplished the American dream and I don't know anyone who loves our country, our freedoms and our servicemen and women more than him. Hearing him speak, I'm reminded of how lucky we really are.

Point Numero Tres: It's a short work week. The end.

What is your awesome blossom, extra awesome for today?

PS. The title of the post is from The Office. I seriously hope y'all knew that.

My awesome blossom, extra awesome is that my friend K lent me a book that I plan to read tomorrow on my day off. "Life of Pi." I'd never heard of it before but I started it last night and so far, it's really good. :)

Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
