Three Things I Kinda Love

(c) The Color Run, 2012.



Okay, it's not too often that I tell people "Here's what ya gotta do ...."


So, when/if I ever do give advice, it's about something I really believe it. Something I kinda love.


And here are 3 Things I Kinda Love. 


They make me smile.


And I hope they make you smile, too.



1. The Color Run.

(c) The Color Run, 2012.




Our friends Seth and Angie work with this incredible RACE called "The Color Run." If you haven't heard about it yet, you soon will.


It's a 5K run/race with a twist--at each kilometer a different color of "magic pixie dust" is blasted at the runners (all 100% safe and natural).


It is a pretty incredible concept. And the organizers are people you just WANT to support; they're great people. (Pssst: They have races all over the country--from New York to Idaho--so there's probably one near you.)


Isn't that awesome? (Yes.)

2. Survivor One World.

Episode 2 of Survivor One World airs tonight/Wednesday. 


(Please tell me you're watching.)

--The tribes are living on one beach. 
--They're divided men vs. women.


And, dun dun dun ...


there's another BYU graduate playing this season--Jonas Otsuji (originally from Hawaii, now residing in Utah)!


Jonas is a sushi chef AND he grew up in my friend's home ward in Hawaii (Mormon-speak for congregation)--so  clearly, we heart Jonas! (Can I get a whoop whoop?)


3. The "Pi Day Pie Party."
Our first Pi Party, 2010.

(Which, I learned to make from another blogger, but can't remember where/when.)



A few years ago, another blogger shared her "Pi Day Pie Party"--and that was all it took:


I was officially hooked on the idea. (It may as well be a national holiday as far as I'm concerned.)


What am I talkin' about?


Well, the celebration of Pi, silly.


You remember Pi?


--Pi = 3.1415926535…


--The Greek letter.


--The symbol for the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter.


Yes, that Pi!


Well, Pi Day is celebrated by math enthusiasts around the world on March 14th ... and by lots and lots of PIE LOVERS, too!


So, get on it! Host a Pie Party this year to celebrate Pi Day. You'll be happy you did. 


Promise.


Our Pi Day Pie Party.
We made party streamers to look like slices of pie.

We had everyone bring a pie. (Here's mine.)

BTW: It's BYOP--Bring Your Own Pie

When The Flu Comes To Town ...

Image
Even Harriet-the-dog threw up this weekend. What the what? Well, if there's anything positive about having the flu, it's having it over a weekend--so you can truly REST from your work/school/etc. Right? Uh, sure. Poor Bam, Dave, Zu and even Harriet-the-dog each caught a weird cold/flu-type thing that had them "down for the count" this weekend. It was awful. I was teasing Dave, but I'm not sure if it's worse to be the one with the flu--or the mom to the ones with the flu. Eeek! (We're talking a lot of laundry and disinfectant. If you're picking up what I'm layin' down.) Hopefully they will be on the mend here soon. And hopefully, the remaining non-flu family members have used enough Purell to keep us germ-free. Crossing my fingers. Hope your weekend was 'smarvelous. ***** PS: Booo. BYU lost this weekend. (Yay if you are a Ute fan--Liz B.) PPS: Not that it's a big deal in the Big Picture, but I did deactivate ...
