fall favorites

1. map my route-- look at a running route from street map or satellite and map it out to make the perfect distance run. anna and i are working on running every street in memphis. kidding... but only sort of. www.usatf.org/routes

2. npr in the early AM-- i judge my "on-timeness" by when the credits come on for the start of "morning edition"... but before the news, they play the reruns of the cooking shows. mmm... dark chocolate mountain desserts and squash with carmelized pecans... sounds so much better than the LeBonheur cafeteria. but i guess i shouldn't complain. it's gourmet compared to The Med cafeteria's "neck-bone Thursdays". and yes, there is ALWAYS a line out the door that day!?

3. G2- gatorade, but with half the sugar, so it doesn't taste like you're drinking syrup.

4. being a kid forever- the older i get, the more i realize that no one ever really acts like a "grown up." and if they do, i don't want to hang out with them.

5. fall leaves- especially the trees that are half- brilliant red, half- green turning yellowish orange. i wouldn't mind if it stayed fall forever, except for the fact that i adore Christmas-time.
