1. The 2013 Disney Princess Half Marathon weekend in upon us! Good times ahead. This will be my fourth weekend at Disney for the race. I am not running this year, but I will be cheering everyone on.
2. Check out my recaps from 2011 & 2012. Both years I had a blast! My pictures are terrible from last year though, so blurry. It's because I uploaded them from my iPad via some crappy blogger app. I need to re-upload (is that word?) those.
3. Best tips for a Disney race: Don't be late, there will be a lot of people / HAVE FUN!
4. Let's all hope that 30% chance of rain for Sunday morning passes right by Disney World. I don't want to spectate in the rain and you don't want to run in the rain :) I happily admit I am a baby about the rain.
5. Good luck to all you Princesses out there! Especially Annette, Martha, Sue, Daniella & Kelly!

5 for Friday
1. Love my Le Creuset tea kettle! It is the first whistling tea kettle (pot?) I have owned and I love it. Hearing the whistle makes me so excited. This is so weird and random, I know.
2. I suck at training plans. No idea what is wrong with me. I map out a plan and then don't follow it. At all. Awesome. No running for me right now, I am all about yoga. It hurts so good.
3. Anyone wanna buy a Georgia 1/2 marathon bib? It takes place March 17th. I registered last year during the super cheap registration blitz, but am now unable to go. Definitely bummed because I have never been to Atlanta before. Any interest, let me know!
4. One week until vacation! Who doesn't love a good vacation countdown? I am going on a tropical vacation, so I downloaded the Bob Marley "Legend" album last night to get in the mood.
5. How cute is this baby? I saw this on Facebook and it had me cracking up for hours.

1. How do you manage the blogs on your Google Reader and in your Reading List on the Blogger Dashboard? I can't figure it out and it is bugging me.
2. Mail is now only going to be delivered Monday - Friday. Are people really upset about this? Is mail still a thing? IMO, why doesn't everyone just get eBills? I loathe the junk mail/flyers I get in my mail box every dam day. But I do love getting magazines, but I am still fine without them not coming on Saturdays.
3. I have a severe addiction to sparkling water. Back in December I started drinking sparkling water and now I can't get enough. Flavored, plain... I love it all.
4. Book recommendations. Have you got any? I am going on vacation in two weeks and I want to read to my hearts content!
5. Leah's Peanut Butter Chocolate Bars. One of my BFFs and her mom make the best chocolate & peanut butter bars! They are delicious and so easy to make. I have made them for co-workers the past few years at Christmas and people always say "These are homemade?!" So good!

Here is the recipe:
Half a box of graham crackers, grind them up in your food processor or blender
Half a container of peanut butter
2 cups powdered sugar
1 stick, plus 2 tablespoons melted butter
Combine all of these ingredients and smooth them out on the bottom of a 9 x 13 dish
Melt one bag of chocolate chips (I use semi-sweet) in a pan on the stove.
Pour and smooth the melted chocolate on top of the pb mixture
Put in refrigerator for two hours to set
Place on counter for one hour before cutting into squares with a sharp knife
Easy peasy!

5 for Friday
2. My parents have been in town since last week and we have been busy, busy, busy. Good times!
3. We are currently at Disney for the weekend. I am obviously loving it.
4. Blue Dawn and Vinegar worked amazing in my bathroom.
5. My boss sent me this email and I thought it was so interesting:
God left us a great clue as to what foods help what part of our body! God's Pharmacy! Amazing!
A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye.. And YES, science now shows carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.
Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food.
A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are just like the neo-cortex. We now know walnuts help develop more than three (3) dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.
Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.
Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and many more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don't have enough sodium in your diet, the body pulls it from the bones, thus making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.
Avocadoes, Eggplant and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs. Today's research shows that when a woman eats one avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this? It takes exactly nine (9) months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).
Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the mobility of male sperm and increase the numbers of Sperm as well to overcome male sterility.
Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics.
Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries
Oranges , Grapefruits, and other Citrus fruits look just like the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.
Onions look like the body's cells. Today's research shows onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes. A working companion, Garlic, also helps eliminate waste materials and dangerous free radicals from the body.
What is something interested you heard this week?

5 for Friday
Since I want to blog more in the New Year I thought I might start up this little series, "5 for Friday".
I think a quick list of a few things I want to mention might be more motivating for me to write, then a whole post on one topic. We'll see how long this keeps up. I am really not making any promises.
1. Three Day Weekend. Thank goodness Martin Luther King had that dream all those years ago. Monday off from work = nice!
2. Patriots are in the AFC Championship game. Oh dear lord, I hope they win.
3. It's cold in Miami today. This morning it was in the 50s and is currently only 64 degrees! I am wearing a fleece, jeans, socks and danskos (some of my favorite pieces of clothing!). It has been really warm and humid all winter, so I need to take advantage of this cool day. Unfortunately the weather will be back in the 80s tomorrow. Awesome.
4. Blue Dawn & Vinegar bathroom cleaning mixture. I saw this on Pinterest and I am so excited to use this on my bathtub this weekend. What a crazy thing to be excited for, right? My bathtub is my nemesis and has been since the day I moved into this apartment. I have scrubbed it so much the finish is peeling off, yet I never feel like it is clean enough. Ugh.
5. Lots of good movies in theaters now. I feel like it's been awhile since there has been a lot of good movies in the theater. I can't even think of the last time I went to see one. Argo is still out, but I have a feeling it will leave the theaters soon, so I am going to see it this weekend. Silver Linings Playbook, Lincoln, Zero Dark Thirty and Django Unchained are the others I would like to see (not necessarily all this weekend). I kind of want to see Les Miserable, but I loved the Broadway show so much, I have a feeling the movie won't be the same.
Do you have a long weekend for MLK day?
What movies are you looking forward to seeing?
