The First Step to Recovery.....

is admitting that I have a problem.  So, here it goes, My name is Lila and I'm addicted to pumpkin foods in every variety.  Every year I put myself on a strict diet in order to justify my indulgence of my pumpkin obsessions.  "Why would you do that?" you ask?  Well, the one year I didn't, I gained 10 lbs in one month.  Yep....that's me. But, I do enjoy my pumpkin foods.  So if you're like me, here are some inspirations for your cooking days!

I remembered after I had decorated the porch that I had a little "Witch Stick" to put in the ground.  Isn't she cute?!

Ahh, the weekend....

This weekend my sister is in town to run a marathon.  She's nervous but, I know she'll do well!  I'm so happy to see her because she lives so far away.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend with your family.  I wanted to leave you with an inspiring picture.  I love this unique way of hanging mirrors in a foyer!

My Race Pics!

So this race I ran last Saturday is known as the "Dirty Dash."  It's a 10k obstacle course in the mountains.  We had hay bales to hurdles, walls to climb, muddy hills to climb, tires to ladder, a swamp to run, a slip n slide, and we ended it all with an army crawl through a mud pit. 

 Can you say filthy?  They have ice cold outdoor showers for everyone to clean off, clothes and all, because we are so dang dirty!  Our team was "Good Girls Gone Dirty." The back of our shirts spelled out Dirty.  I was the "r" and only brunette.  Clearly I didn't get the highlighting memo!f

I'm pretty sure they have these races all over the country.  Look them up if they're available because it is so fun.  We laughed literally the whole run! 

Orbit commercial anyone?
