Post from a Non-Runner (part deux)

So, I know that I blogged all about how I am not really a runner and now I have started running. Well for about 6-8 months my knee has really been bugging me. I finally went to the doctor to get it checked out and after an MRI and a meeting with an orthopedic surgeon, I have 5 weeks of physical therapy ahead of me....and if that doesn't work they are going to cut me open to reattach a tear (isn't that weird). Anyway, I am still allowed to run...just have to deal with the pain after. So, I am still running and still losing weight! I am now down 20 lbs....watch out bikini's I am heading your way....in about a year...and only around friends/family.

The Host....really???

If I could talk to Stephenie Meyer about her book, The Host, I would have one question- REALLY?

The main character/s is fought over by two men...didn't that happen in the Twilight series?

The main character/s is stubborn and brave....didn't that happen in the Twilight series?

The characters blow off steam by playing a team sport....didn't that happen in the Twilight series?

The characters are being chased/hunted by the villain....didn't that happen in the Twilight series?

There is major sexual tension, but no sex....didn't that happen in the Twilight series?

There is a relationship between a minor and an adult....didn't that happen in the Twilight series?

REALLY???

Could you not come up with a totally different plot line? Could you characters be a little different? (There are other personality traits that people posses)

Yes, so I read the whole thing...but let me tell ya that I was frustrated and pissed off the whole time. It was predictable and sadly lame mostly due to the fact that it was the Twilight series but with aliens.

P.S.

P.S. I dyed my hair (in case you didn't notice in the Fogo post)

Fogo De Chao

Saturday night we met Bre and Tommy at Fogo De Chao in Scottsdale (aka "the meat buffet"). It's a Brazilian restaurant where there is a swanky salad bar and tons of meat. You have a green and red card...green side up and the men in the little capri pants keep bringing more and more meat. I had the best mojito in the world! At the beginning everyone was green...Bring it!
Tommy's plate looked like this the entire night.
The boys loved it...
Okay....so did I!!!
Red means donezo.

We will be back....and if it were up to Pabs we would be back every day.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SIS!!!

Butt Roll

Pecas has to go on a diet. She has a butt roll....that's right. My dog is so fat that she has a roll of fat that is on her butt. Less food and more exercise is what Dr. Mandy has prescribed. My other dogs are fine....but they do not eat unmentionables from the yard like Mrs. Pecas does.....ewww!!!

And now.....here is how big Moose is.....

Since I put up Pecas and Moose I have to put up a random of Max....
