You get what you get...


...and you don't get upset.


For my birthday today,
Yeah, it's my Birthday today.
Thanks for all the well wishes.
I share it with others, like Amanda's handsome hubby.
But back to me.
This morning LBM wanted to give me a present.
He thought rocks would suitable.

And he was insistent.

You get what you get and you don't get upset.

But you know, rocks are not such a bad gift.

I worked alongside my grandfather picking them out of the garden.
I've spent some wonderful races running over them.
I passed childhood afternoons searching for them in fields.
I eagerly waited to get a shiny one from just the right guy.

And this morning, the cutest little guy I know who has enjoyed more miles with his crazy running mommy than one little man should have to, give me a whole handfull of preciousness.

I think I'm gonna say Yes.

This is Day # 187 ~ 4.1 miles to celebrate.

 
 DC rainmaker is hosting a Forerunner 210 Giveaway!
Since it is my birthday I think I should win this but you should hop over and met the rainmaker yourself.  He is up to quite a lot and has loads of great posts and reviews to learn from.
So click over and enter but stay a while a read up on another great athlete.

  14. Happy belated birthday! Newt came home from school on Wednesday, his coat heavier than usual. He brought home all of the rocks that he thought I'd like to have. Great analogy on the rocks and you have a great GREAT son.

  15. Happy birthday - a day late, I know, and I'm sorry.

    The rocks are cute and is something that my oldest would have done when he was little. Think of all the creative things you can do with rocks!
