| my tree topper even glows |
i think some of my running company friends took pity on me and my hemorrhaging bank account last week as i was treated to a package-filled-porch. i won some speed laces from dorothy of mile posts, a package of honeymilk came just in time as i was starting to run low (horrors!) and now that josh is also running we can never have too much gu energy here in the ctk house (from kenley of the essence of running).
while decorating the tree with gu "ornaments" i may or may not have eaten a pack of chomps. thanks dorothy, honeymilk and kenley!
disclaimer about our charlie brown tree: my friend went up to the farm in nc and apparently this one's original owner wasn't able to pick it up, so she brought it back for us. yup, we got the reject tree. it worked out though because i don't have enough ornaments for a 6+ footer and i refuse to buy generic balls from the store. i like my ornaments to have a little meaning behind them.
LOL
ReplyDeleteI read that last line to say, "I like my balls to have a little meaning behind them."
Yes, I'm 4 years old today :)
Those packages of Chomps sure have a lot of meaning. :)
ReplyDeleteScore on the goodies!!!
I received a bunch of gels from zombie the other day, I think I will use them to decorate my tree! great idea!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I'll have to have a "running" themed tree one year!
ReplyDeleteHow cute! I wonder what Santa will put in your stocking?
ReplyDeleteShannon just about made me spit my coffee out.....now that is funny.
ReplyDeleteI am loving the tree. Might be the theme for us next year....nothing like stolen ideas for Christmas.
love the glowing tree topper.
ReplyDeleteand yes, balls are better when they have meaning to them.
Love the tree!
ReplyDeleteLove the tree but are you really going to leave it in the hall?!
ReplyDeleteLove the tree and love ornaments that mean something. My parents gave me and my sibs an ornament every Christmas for that reason
ReplyDeleteI may or may not have eaten Chomps before while sitting at home - they sure are tasty!
ReplyDeleteLove the tree! And I am going through a chomp phase. I love that I don't have to commit to eating the entire packet, like I have to with gels:)
ReplyDeleteThat's a great tree and the decorations are perfect! You can grab a gu on the way out for a run, very convenient.:)
ReplyDeleteIt looks really nice!
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower!!! Love the tree and decorations. I've never tried Honeymilk. I'll have to try and find some.
ReplyDeleteLove the tree and it's ornaments but where are the M+Ms?
ReplyDeleteI tried to hang some of my kettlebells on our tree, but it didn't work out so well.....:)
ReplyDeleteYou are a dedicated runner!
ReplyDeleteYour tree is absolutely adorable. Yay for the Charlie Brown trees of the world, and for the people who love them :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like those ornaments have meaning!!
ReplyDeleteOf course he is a runner, he must be a runner to deliver all those gifts in such a record time.
ReplyDeleteA runner santa? Maybe but the figure is not the kenyan, my god!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tree Lindsay better than my!
You make me laugh with your post!
What's wrong with meaningless balls? Is there any other kind?
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of slapping my medals up on the tree so I can at least look at the daggone things once a year ;)
I love your tree! I'm adding some GU to ours tonight! Don't know what the rest of the family will say, but who cares?
ReplyDeleteAt least you have a tree! I've been so busy finding puns that I've let it slip. Getting all sorts of heat from the wife and kiddos......
ReplyDeleteWell, I have some of the generic balls from the store - but they are in blue and purple, and the white ones I've had since I was single before, so those have special meaning, I guess you could say. I do have some ornaments on my tree too, that have meaning to me too. Don't knock your tree, I think it was quite adorable. Very manageable. By the time you and Josh have your 25th wedding anniversary, you might get those marathon ornaments done! :-)
ReplyDeleteand thanks for sharing the honeymilk with me!!
