Trail Mix

Last Two Weekends... I have been out of town and on the move! First was a wonderful trip back to Auburn with Brittany. Her first time the the deep south! Ahhhh I loved it! Weekend was filled with food(fried of course), Friends and Auburn Football! Over all a great weekend!




Next was off to Iowa City to watch the Hawkeyes play. Tommy did such a great job in his game and I can't believe how long his hair has got. I think he is going for the Tom Brady look! Oh not to fail to mention that it was FREEZING...All the locals kept saying "Oh this is nothing." AHHHHHHHH I don't know how Tommy does it!

In the past week... Started training for the Nashville 1/2 Marathon in April. Super excited about it. I have recruited a few friends to join...So far we have Molly, Lindsey Sanders, Brittany Olson and me for the girls and Wyatt for the guys. I guess we are going to have to get some more Rangers to step up and RUN! I also turned into that crazy lady who dresses up her pets...oh wait I have always been that person! haha. Ranger and the boys looked so great!!!!!! Rangers reaction to the costumes was priceless...

On Thanksgiving... Well we had a typical Donatell Thanksgiving...Dad had to work so we just hung out and watched football until he got home from work. My contributions to the day was not cooking...I still need to learn how to do that :) but I did set the table and I think I did a fine job if I do say so myself!

But the best part of the day was getting a phone call from Wyatt. He called just before we were going to sit down for dinner. Didn't get to talk for long but he did have time to tell me how they did indeed have turkey on Thanksgiving. I am going to have to find out more about this and report back but something about finding a turkey at a local market and having to remove the feathers and all! Crazy life he lives!

In the past week... I have finished decorating my house…excuse me my home! I had a few last minute additions to my furniture collection…thanks Mom and Dad. Boy what a difference an area rug and a few lamps can make! I love coming home to this place. I am a very lucky girl!

I have also got back into my workout routine. It felt good to sweat it out! Circuit Training starts back up tomorrow! Yayyyy!

Two nights ago… Went to a local bar/lounge called 8th and Rail. It was my first time and I had such a great time. The music was a little loud but overall it was a great night to get out of the house and chill! Not to mention the band that was playing was awesome! I forget their name...but I know they are on Pandora. I will find out and report back!

Yesterday….I added a visitor tracker thing to my blog because I wanted to see who it is that is reading my blog! I have been so excited to see the response to my latest post. Thank you to everyone for the sweet emails and comments. It is truly humbling that people are actually reading this. Thank you, thank you, and thank you!

Today… I had my first Junior League “Leaguer in Training” meeting! I am very excited about the opportunity to be a part of such a grand collection of women. I have been assigned the communications council and just love everyone in my group. They are really sweet women with such passion to serve the community!

About an hour ago… I got to Skype with Wyatt! Until then, I hadn’t seen his face in over a month. Talk about a wonderful moment! I miss my best friend so much. I can’t wait for him to get home. He looked and sounded good!

I must give credit where credit is due... the title of this post and this collection of random thoughts was inspired from my coworker Melissa and her blog . Whenever she writes a compelation of random thoughts she calls them Misellany Stew. What a great creative idea! So here you have it... a mix of posts from the "trail less traveled!"

Two [trails] diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less
traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
