This one’s going to be a short one… since we were still in Las Vegas for a family wedding, I didn’t take many pictures that were non-wedding related. And away we go!
9.26.11 – My birthday. Not much happened on that day. We had lunch with the Wife’s sis and hubby at his favorite burger joint, Holsteins, in the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas. Then we headed home for a quiet night.
9.27.11 – Zippo!
9.28.11 – We had dinner with extended family. I was in the in-laws’ car while the Wife drove his siblings.

9.29.11 – Jimmy Eat World at the Wiltern! If you haven’t seen them live, you need to. Just watch how fast Jim plays guitar. Lucky for us, we were able to score pit passes. I was three deep – a total plus for a shortie like me! I could actually see their faces perfectly!

9.30.11 – My BFFs, the Sugars, gifted me not only an Amazon g/c, they also gifted me a headlamp!! Yeah!! Remember when we went to the Big Island and into the lava tubes, I was so jealous of the family who was with us. The dad had a headlamp, and I thought it was perfect to have while on a tour in total darkness. Then we were in the Bay Area, walking in the dark, trying to avoid dog poo that pet owners ignored to scoop. A headlamp would have been perfect. So voila. A headlamp! (And you know this blog would not be complete without an embarrassing photo of me wearing it!)

10.1.11 – I posted this a while ago from my last practice run before the Long Beach Half. While training at the Rose Bowl, I ran into the Warrior Dash/Mud Run. This was the Polar Bear Dive (not really called that), where overheated and cakey mud-covered runners dived into a cold bath.

10.2.11 – Nothing.
And there you have it!
