I worked Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday morning, very early, Sara and I flew down to Disneyland. She loves Disneyland and has never seen it decorated for Christmas. Her boyfriend paid for her airline ticket, park admission and the hotel room. He had no desire to go with her so she was generous enough to invite me and I gladly accepted. It was beautiful. We had a great time together and the crowds were minimal. The fireworks were spectacular. I have never seen any show as nice as that one was.
We flew home Thursday afternoon and I worked until 9:30 on Friday night. Saturday I did some Christmas shopping. After sitting down and figuring out what I need to buy, it's really not that bad. I can say I'm almost done already! Saturday night Keith and I went to Victoria's 2009 Sugarfest. How could I possibly turn this invitation down? The invitation stated we were to dress in our favorite fancy clothes, bring a dessert and come have fun. Okay! It was so great to see all the fellow trail running people in "clothes". Some of them clean up quite well, I must say. The funny part was seeing the women (myself included) walking around in high heels. You could tell none of us do that for a living. Well, what I mean by that is none of us wear them to an office on a daily basis!

Last night it was family time on the train. We took the Train of Lights through Niles Canyon. We bought these tickets quite a while ago and were so happy it didn't rain. It's been raining pretty good here for the last few days. Sara's boyfriend Sterling was supposed to go with us but ended up being scheduled for work. My brother, Steve stepped in at the last minute and took our extra ticket. It was a nice evening. ;)
I'm scheduled for work Monday through Friday again this week, starting in the morning so I can't see getting any running in. I have a PCTR event on the calendar Saturday. An 8k with "someone that just qualified for Boston." That should be fun!! I am thinking I will have to go the gym in the evening to do some classes this week, just to burn some calories. It's not my first choice but it works.

sounds like a very fun week!! A FULL week but a fun one! How many deserts did you try? were they super tasty!!
have an awesome time running Rodeo with Aron! This is her first trail race! I hope you two have an awesome time!!
I was thinking the same thing Saturday night at our Holiday party for the triathlon club - people cleaned up well, especially the women. I will be there at Rodeo Beach volunteering. I haven't run since the Northface race, last, last Saturday and the dancing Saturday night was the longest workout of my week. Scary how easy it is for me to slip back into couch potato mode.
Love the pics, looks like you had such a great time! Cannot wait to go to Disney World with Terron next month now!!
I love Disneyland during the holidays!
It looks like you've been one very busy person!
That sounds great! What a good looking party and family. I do love some Christmas lights. Looks like you guys had a ball.
Too much fun!
Sounds like your Christmas season is turning into a very joyous and memorable one. You have a great smile. :)
you are having too much fun for one person. :-)
What a great post. Seeing Disney all decorated up made me miss this summers trip.

soooo fun :) looks like a great time!!!
i will see you soon!! :)
You're right. Everyone looked adorable. I was impressed with the number of beautiful people I apparently know. Glad you could come, though!!
Will have to make a trip to Disneyland this time of year sometime...looks really pretty--and no crowds would be great...it's been probably 35-40 yrs since I have been there! See you (& Rick-yay-thanks for volunteering!) Saturday.

Classes at the gym aren't my first choice but they do burn some calories!!! Sometimes, we gotta do what we gotta do!
