munchkin

I'm pretty sure my mom doesn't believe we have 2 cats anymore. This is because Munchkin (see above) is super, super shy. He's not hiding out afraid of life, really he's not! He just doesn't like noise and activity. He prefers quiet mornings with breeze coming through the windows and lots of birds chirping. Otherwise, if the house is busy and loud, he prefers to chill in a dark corner somewhere. No biggie. :)

In the above picture, which I took right when I woke up this morning, I believe he's looking for an owl. Owls "whoo-ing" are nothing new around here, but this morning's owl is particularly loud! It's the only sound that's out of the ordinary; I think that's what might have caught his attention.

In other kind-of-related news, did you know that the new iPhone software added a zoom feature for its camera? Woohoo! This is even for my ancient 3G. Another feature that I love is that I can organize my apps into folders. Ahh, folders. You should see how many folders I have on my computer! Wait, no you shouldn't. You'd make fun of me.

The 3GS also has the ability to run multiple apps at the same time. I'm a little jealous of that, I can't lie. I'm also jealous of the new iPhone's front-facing camera and flash. My contract's not up until April, though, so I guess patient I shall be.

Ok, next up: coffee and laundry. (typical summer morning!) Later today I might go back to the gym, but I'm not sure what I'll do. I want to do some weight lifting, but I'm not sure I trust myself to use new machines (new to me) without a "friend buffer" so at least if I look like an idiot I'm not alone. We'll see how brave I feel. ;-)

Well. How many blogs can one blogger blog? I don’t know the answer to that, but I do know that I’d like to get started with blogging again. This used to basically be the address where I kept my food blog. Then, it got a little complicated as to whether or not it was ok to post recipes (copyright laws and such), and given my big old guilty conscience and the fact that I didn’t really have time to delve into the specifics of doing it right, I just kind of gave up.

Now, I’d love to include photos and stories about cooking (being the uncontrollable foodie that I am), but I’d also like to try blogging about some other things. Life, music…running.

More later. Currently, I’m on my way out the door to see if I can get a 5 mile run in before it storms. In the words of dear hubby, if it storms while I’m out, I’ll just have to “run faster.” haha, words of wisdom, I suppose.

OH! p.s. My header photo is a shot of (some of) the runners at the Nike Women’s Marathon in San Fran (2007). That was the 1st half marathon I ever ran (the first actual event I ever ran, really) and what got me hooked on running. :)


Here’s me (pink tank top, black jacket) after the race, looking around like…”What now?”  haha
