This morning, I Ran down to the lake and the fields are filled with cows and their calves.  The little ones just stare at you as you run by. They don't even have enough sense to run away from us even though we stick them with red-hot branding irons and then slaughter them like barbarians (well, some of us). The morning was hot-- not like these other cool mornings we've been having.  It finally feels like summer out there. Today's my girl's birthday. She was born at 8:57 a.m. so after my run, that's when I woke her up with a pan of sizzling bacon (her favorite, and something we RARELY eat). She was so happy.    9:25 ap

too bad you didn't run by a hog/pig farm. it would've made this story so much better. :) or, you could've woke her up with a big ol' hamburger. :)

happy birthday to your sweet girl!

KP you are a poet at heart. Either of those scenarios would have provided a much better story line, it's true. As for the meat eating, we always joke about it at home because we have a neighbor who is very strict vegitarian from Switzerland. And even he sneaks an ocassional hot dog, or bacon bit (out of the salad) at the neighborhood bbq's. So we always say "Yes, we are vegitarian all except for the bacon. Becuase really, who can resist?"

LOL!! I like the way you think Luz :) I think I could be a vegetarian, except the bacon.

Oh, and I don't slaughter them - I just eat them, so that makes it better, right?

Nice job on the run - I'm with you on the weather. I'm not looking forward to getting up early on Saturday, but it will be nice to beat the heat!

Up early? You'll be up at that time anyway with the baby right? I really hope everyone can make it. It will be nice to see everyone. But it is tough to get up that early (esp. with a baby!). Maybe I'll bring bacon :)

From RAD on Thu, Jul 08, 2010 at 15:29:55 from 67.172.229.125

Yeah, I'm usually up then - but not in 'functioning' fashion! It's usually just enough to feed baby then go back to sleep...or shove a pacifier in :)

If you bring the bacon, you'd better hide it while I'm at the finish waiting for you, or there may be none left by the time even the 5kers finish :)

HAPPY belated BIRTHDAY to Page! You're the coolest mom ever!

It was so good to see you and Catherine this morning! THANKS for running with me. Sorry I didn't tell you I was coming. I decided that I could leave my sleepy family...wouldn't want to miss the fun with y'all. THANKS for the BLING!!! They're FABULOUS!!! And the signs are GREAT, very professional! You're the best!
