I was a tagged a while ago by Jana and never got around to doing it...so here it goes.....

Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours


1. I am obsessed with checking my email, blogs, and facebook. I look at all of these several times a day. This stemmed from having a very very boring internship this summer where all I had to do was check my email, all of my friends blogs, and facebook...sad I know

2. I can walk really long distances but can't run a mile to save my life. I hate to run it is way too tiring, but I love to walk and just walked to 20 miles on Saturday for my marathon training.

3. I hate my feet and everybody else's for that matter, but a pedicure is definitely something I am willing to pay for. My feet are Huge, size 11 in girls, very skinny and I have freakishly long toes. I had to by shoes for my marathon and they were a size 10 1/2 and I was stoked because they fit and I thought my feet had shrunk but then the girl told me they were a 10 1/2 in mens :( It was a very sad day!

4. I love to clean the kitchen, it is my favorite household chore. I think it is because you can really see how your work paid off.

5. I learned to make cheesecake to impress a guy. The verdict is still out on whether or not it worked.

6. I sing ridiculously loud when I'm in the car, especially alone. Even if I don't know the words I still belt it out. I really wish I had a good voice because I love to sing!

I tag anyone and everyone!!!

Jessica's Birthday

Yesterday was Jessica's Birthday so today we had a family dinner. She had requested that I make my mini-lemon cheesecakes for the occasion, which I was happy to do!!! Happy Birthday Jess!!! Love you Lady!!!

This is just a random picture of the Cookie. He climbs up on EVERYTHING these days, Marty's leg just happens to be his target in this photo!

Cookbooks...

You may or may not know that I am training for a marathon this October. You also may or may not know that I trained for this SAME marathon last year but 10 days before the race fell and sprained BOTH my ankles. So now I am even more bound and determined to FINISH this race...

Because I am doing this marathon to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society I need to fundraise. I have $660 dollars to raise by October 4th, that is less than 3 weeks away. I know that money is tight right now and gas is expensive and groceries are getting more expensive but people are still being diagnosed and dying from this horrible disease.

So to help the fundrasing efforts of my team, we compiled a cookbook of OVER a 100 recipes! I submitted a lot of my mom's own recipes so I KNOW they are good. I am selling them for ONLY $15 and WOULD love your support! So if you are interested in buying one, or two, or a hundred :) let me know. You can leave a comment or email me directly at sumsions@gmail.com. Also, please pass this information on to your family and friends! I would REALLY REALLY appreciate it!

And if you are feeling extremely generous you can always donate directly to my website at:

Thank you for your support!

Hair....

So this is what I did with my hair.... I cut it. I still can't decide how I feel about it because I get sad when I look at pictures of my hair long...but I think that's just how it goes.... I just have to remember how much easier it is to do when it is short!!! Thanks for all your opinions!!!!

More Cali Pictures

Here are some more pictures from Shellie and I's trip...

Outside Angels Stadium! We had driven FOREVER in rush hour traffic so we were so relieved to finally be there!


Since we have always dreamed of going to Angels game..we were pretty excited! Little did I know Shellie was about to make me miss the 7th inning stretch....To say that I was devastated is an understatement!!! :)


Hollywood Walk of Fame...This is Tim McGraw's star, even though you can't see it!


Outside the Kodak Theater before our tour! Very cool!!!!


At the Hollywood and Highland shopping center next to the Kodak Theater... (The Hollywood sign is in the back, if you look close)


Santa Monica Pier


We went on the NBC Studio tour and since I love "Days of Our Lives" this was really cool


The waiting room of "ER"


The beach...it was really cloudy and windy! But we were still excited to be there!!!!!

Labor Day in California

So Shellie flew down to spend the Labor Day weekend in California with me! From the time I picked her up to the time I dropped her off we had non-stop fun!!! Some of the highlights were we went shopping at some really cool malls, ate at really great restaurants, walked Rodeo Drive, went to an Angels game, went on the NBC and WB studio tours along with the Kodak Theater tour, we went to the beach which was gloomy and Cold but it was still fun! Stayed in a less then awesome hotel that smelled bad, went to Santa Barbara (After I walked 15 miles in the morning, I almost died), ate at Magic Johnson's TGIF's and were the only white people in the whole place! And lastly we DROVE, DROVE, and DROVE in a lot of TRAFFIC, gotta love California traffic!!! Here a few pictures that I had on my camera, I'll post more when I get them from Shellie.....

"Shopping" on Rodeo Drive
