Notes:

  • Even though I kept up with my usual workouts through the holiday season, I gained a few pounds. Oh well! It’s winter warmth, haha.

 

Totally unrelated question – have you seen Die Hard? I have never seen it, and my husband seems to think it’s weird that I haven’t. He keeps bringing it up, and borrowed a copy of it from his sis/bro-in-law with plans to force me to watch it. It’s not that I hate action movies, I just prefer them to have humor or a decent plot. I gather Die Hard is to men what cheesy romantic comedies are to women. Brain candy. That I would never force my husband to watch.

    Nice repeats!

    I have only seen the latest Die Hard (and saw a preview for the newest one yesterday) and thought it was fun and humorous. But I really like action flicks ;)

    Seen it, but I don’t remember loving it. It was a really long time ago so I could be missing something.

    Plus, I have those same lightning bolt socks. I feel cooler knowing that I have the same socks as you. :)

      I think I won the socks from your blog. If not your’s, someone’s blog. And then Kelly (www.kellytheculinarian.com) won the same pair from me!

    OMG, my fiance made me watch “die hard 2″ on Christmas. He says, “It’s a Christmas movie.” Um, no. Just because it takes place around Christmas doesn’t mean it’s a Christmas movie!

    Die Hard’s a classic! It’s an action movie, but it’s also really funny and clever. You can’t be a ‘Merican without seeing that movie.

    Okay, I feel a little better because I gained weight this week too! I love eating and drinking way too much at the holidays :) I’ve never seen Die Hard either, there’s nothing weird about that.

    Are those compression socks in the picture? Love the colors and stripes!

      unfortunately no, they are just regular socks from ProudRunner.com. all of my running tights were in the laundry pile, so I wore capris + knee socks.

    I’ve never seen Die Hard. I’m not into action movies at all. But I agree with the parallel on action movies to men as romantic comedies to women.

    Love those turquoise running shoes!!! I have a slight obsession with any non-white running shoes these days. Are those Brooks?
