I went for a little run this morning in Aruba and here’s what I ran by.
Lots of standing water and puddles but they seem to be drying out.
My view
If you can’t get into your Zen groove while running next to this, you never will.
No iPod required.
Enjoy the tranquility.
This is my happy place especially when it’s sunny.
The water really is this color. A perfect shade of turquoise-aqua.
The rain that we had here wasn’t all bad though because I put some of this white chocolate that I brought with me to use.
While I played in the big girl kitchen, Skylar played with her toys. Maybe Santa will bring her one of these play kitchen sets.
White chocolate recipe coming soon.
Along the lines of White Chocolate Cookies & Cream Fudge
Better plan for a few longer runs based on the ingredient list. And worth every bite.
So were the Baked Eggnog Vanilla Donuts with Eggnog Rum Glaze
They made it which made me happy than the donuts themselves. Almost.
And now for some fun stuff. Paying my property taxes at the bank.
Questions:
1. What have you been running by?
Snow? Holiday shoppers at the mall? Running by a big sink full of dishes from all that holiday baking you did this weekend? Do tell.
Hopefully you ran by some downtime and chill time over the weekend.
2. Best thing you ate or did over the weekend?
For me, just getting to Aruba was pretty much the best. And being with my family.
Have a great day!
Jealous from NY!! Wow… you do realize all of the blog world is living vicariously through you right now, right?! :) Run a few sunny miles for all of us!
is your place near the Divi? I stay at Playa Linda every July and got married at the Westin in 2008. It’s a magical place!!! I’m craving some Aruban sun and sand right now!
I could probably run more often if I got to run with that kind of scenery! All I’ve got here is houses and traffic. Boo!
Lovely pictures.. I wish I could be there too
I’m so jealous of your holiday and the weather! It’s freezing cold here and all I want to do is hibernate :)
Hope you’re having an awesome time xxx
wow, that’s absolutely beautiful!! hope you’re having the best time! xx
Can I go visit you so that I can run with those sights! I am sorry about the rain, but today looks gorgeous … hope you are enjoying you vacation!
Beautiful. I just got back from Jamaica a week ago and am almost forgetting the gorgeous scenery there. I just stare at my pictures and smell a pineapple. Almost the same thing…But I did enjoy snorkeling, wave jumping, hiking, and just walking around and taking in the sites, sounds, smell
WHAT did you do with those pictures?? Can you pls make sure to send them a travel company?? I mean, SELL them? Wow!
Glad to hear u made it there safe and sound!
I was running by Tj´s Candy Cane Tea! (And I bought it, too ;)).
Thank you….I thought for iPhone pics they turned out really well myself :) I did edit them but honestly, not tons. I guess my hands were steady, the sun was shining, and apparently my camera likes the Caribbean as much as I do :)
I’ve been running by the Golden Gate bridge. It’s not too shabby. Everyday that the sun shines, the bridge looks so beautiful and red against the blue sky. As for eating, I think I ate sweets every hour this weekend. Including the Oreo Truffles I posted about. Greens are in my future this week :).
This doesn’t look like a place where it could rain! Gorgeous pictures…I’m loving the colors :) I’ve been running in Phoenix…where it’s finally winter and big puffy clouds sit around the mountain tops. It’s my favorite time of year here…but I’d totally take a day at the beach still :)
I’ve been running by pretty decent LA winter weather-not tooooo cold yet:)
As for this weekend…I watched It’s a Wonderful Life for the first time with a friend and totally cried at the end!
I’m so jealous! That is a dream to me. Love your website!!
thanks!
i love the pics so much i feel the need to comment twice. :)
i’ve been running by some mud and leafless trees. but ive actually been running and setting personal records, so i guess i’m running by and surpassing self doubt.

:)
