That spooky creation is today’s breakfast: a chocolate green monster (the plain jane banana-kale green monster with some cocoa powder and two extra kale leaves for a boost).
This “settling into a new routine” thing hasn’t happened so much yet, but I’ll take last weekend’s party (courtesy of moi) and the previous weekend’s wedding (no, not mine) over a routine any day
Lots to recap (and lots of raw recipes!), but right now I’m only looking forward to this weekend…

Nope, not because of halloween. It’s my first half marathon!
I’ll be honest – training hasn’t been a priority for the past 5-6 weeks. I might not have run a single step in two weeks. But I’m not worried – I think I can make my easy goal, finish the race, and have fun.
I’ve got my playlist cooking:

Er, why, yes, I do listen to the same song every mile to get my rear in gear. I’m changing that for this race since I realized that 13 repeats is a bit much…I’ll be switching between three songs.
One final bit of spookiness (our little piggy bank – yes, the cat is in a halloween costume, and she won a prize thankyouverymuch):

(We also won a costume contest last night. $100 for clothes we already had in our closet! This is rapidly becoming my new favorite holiday
