I need to update my running playlist for the race Liz and I are doing this Saturday. Please leave a comment with your favorite song or songs that you like to run or workout to. I like to run to all types of music: techno, rap, alternative, Christian, rock, etc. as long as it has a good beat and is pretty fast.
Katie Lemmon Norwood: if you're reading this, you can save yourself some time by NOT sending me your playlist from your blog back in September. I giggled when I read some of your highly suggested songs. But, I think I did download Toxic because of you.

Dixie Turns 11
Our sweet baby turned 11 this past Sunday, which means it was burger day! We love her so much and hope we have more great years with her.
Here she is with her McD's bag before she devoured her present.
And here's the video of her eating it in 10 seconds. I love how she licks her chops and obeys her daddy! Apologies from Josh for the rotating of the camera.

My friend, Liz
I feel pressure to write a blog about my dear friend, Liz. Liz wrote about me this week and so I owe her one.
Liz has been a buddy of mine since 4th grade. I'll never forget her "look" when she strolled in as a new student at Pinkerton Elementary: short permed blonde hair and a jump suit. But she's blossomed into a beautiful young lady! Here's what I love about her (no, Liz, this is not everything):
-I love her short responses to questions, i.e., Me: "Liz, how was your trip to Santa Fe?" Liz: "Fine." Me: "Did you do anything fun?" Liz: "Yes."
-I love the memories I have of Liz: blaring her music in her Ford Explorer, her "black" days, taking pictures in her front yard before going to George Strait concert, showing me her [horrible] cheer jumps in her uniform in her front yard, her muffins, Bosco, The Animal Club.
-She is always one to call and check in.
-She runs races with me even if she is completely not ready for it.
-She WOULD be the one that would send me a text to tell me she got engaged. That I was NOT happy about.
-She is so kind to help us (the class officers) plan our 10-year high school reunion (and Mindy, too!).
-I love that she lives 8 blocks north of me.
-I love that we go to the same church and can enjoy breakfast afterward every once in a while.
But what I love most is the fact that we've been friends for 19 years and counting! I love you Lizzy Poo Poo!

I Just 'Tuded
As I said in my last post, the company I work for, Infinitude Creative Group, launched a blog. We also just launched our website and I was able to work directly with my past employer, AvreaFoster, to complete that project...that was a lot of fun for me to work with the AF team (who are some of my good friends).
As I sat in our conference room with the Jeffs, the owners, and another fellow, we were brainstorming ideas on what to call our blog. We bounced some silly and serious names around until Jeff M. shouted out "How about 'I Just 'Tuded'?" And that was the winner. Yes we are a training and media production company, yes we have corporate clients that will read this blog, yes we know it might not make you laugh as much as we do, but we're proud. We're proud of our blog description: "Something's in the air at Infinitude Creative Group." We're proud of our sign-off after we write a blog, e.g., I'm Jamie Womack and I just 'tuded!
So check it out...we have some talented writers and we'll be doing a video blog here and there.

Harry Potter
Well I did it. I finally finished the Harry Potter series last night. I couldn't put the book down; I probably read about 100 pages last night. It was just too good. This has been a journey of about 2 1/2 years: I started reading Harry Potter a little while after I started working at Infinitude, after one of my boss's discovered I wasn't a reader. He decided to give me a kick start by paying me to read the first book. I was hooked. BUT, like I said, I'm not a reader so that is where the 2 1/2 years comes in. I'd get on a really good run, and then work or The Biggest Loser or training got in the way. Book 7 (the final book) took me the longest. I read 100 pages, stopped for a few months, started over, read 376 pages, stopped for a lot of months, decided to start it over again on our trip to Seattle, and this time I didn't stop.
The amazing thing was that through all of the people I know who've read Harry Potter (including my mom who I got hooked and then she finished about a 1 1/2 years before me) and all of the discussions I've had along the way, I never knew how it ended. I was shocked at the ending, and through parts of it my heart was pounding and my eyes were watering. I wish everyone would read these books...I've been wanting Josh to read them but I think that's a battle I'm going to lose. J.K. Rowling amazes me how she outlined the entire story and tied all of the books together. I'd like to read them all over again, but this time before September 18, 2012.
So that is where our blog description comes from. There was a book that was written about Dumbledore called The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore. The book contained some controversial, though partially true, revelations about Albus and his family. Our blog though contains no controversial content, only truths...well unless Josh ever posts anything on here again and pulls one on you. He tends to find the best times to sneak in a little lie or story that could be true, to see if he can pull it off and get you to believe him.
Stay tuned for a post that introduces our company's blog. It's gonna be a good one.

I love him
Presenting the talented Noah Pettett, my nephew, the stinker bean. He's dancing to a song on my old keyboard. It's hard to hear without headphones, but so precious to watch. The other video...it doesn't get any better than that laugh. Case sends me videos from her phone b/c I don't get to see him as much as I want to!

Blog Description
This is a test: I'd like to know who out there knows where our blog description "sprouted" from (Josh you may not answer).

I'm trying...
Well I'm trying out a new layout. This one's for you, Joshy. It has plants, wood, and the ropes or loops for "In the Loop." How 'bout that?!

Our Young 11-Year-Old Dog
Dixie turns 11 this month, but she still enjoys playing with her toys. This weekend, she managed to get 3 of them in her mouth at the same time: her ducky, turtle, and slipper.
