Some days its the little things

After a string of unfortunate things happening in my life lately it was nice to open the mail box last night as I was leaving to finish my miles (a.m. 3.5/28:58) (p.m.6.5/53:29) for National Running Day and see two little packages.

One of which s'ghetti girl already thinks she should keep.
This little beauty the Bondi Band not the cutie girl is from Tonia at Racing with Babes for rocking my socks for her virtual 10k Half Marathon.
Thanks Tonia!  I love it and I will share with s'ghetti girl. 
She looks so cute in it.
Do you think I could fit any more photos on my fridge?
Some are over 20 years old.

How cute that Tonia's note matched the Bondi Band! 
Plus some Gu! 
Yeah!  I'll be needing that in 2 weeks at my Xterra 21k....that and a few extra pair of legs.


In the mailbox was another little package.  This one from Katye at Long Legs on the Loose.  I won a Sweaty Band.  And look at this cute PINK duct tape.  Did you even know they made that?



Not as cute as s'ghetti girl but with my hair done it will be great to wear to work or to hold those curls back when I work out.  My new Sweaty Band is polka dots.  So cute, I love it!  Thanks, Kayte.
While none of these little pieces of niceness will get my hubbs a new job, change the troubling news from my doctor, relieve the stress at work BUT it does provide a bright spot to my day. 
And some days it's just the little things.
