The saddest thing happened today…. I had to kill Pippa…. Because she ATE MY FAVORITE PAIR OF RUNNING SHOES. The funny thing is, she took like 5 other pairs of cheap shoes and dragged them around the house unharmed. But my $120 Asics with only 150 or so miles on them? Those just looked a little too delicious, I guess.
R.I.P. Ugly Grandma Shoes
Actually, Mommy isn’t that mad because Pippa just knew that I’ve been eyeing these Mizunos for a few weeks and this gives me a good excuse to purchase them. My Asics love has been waning lately. It’s been a good 7 years together but I think our relationship might have run its course…
I don’t just want them, I NEED them… especially now that they’re on sale because the new model is out.
I’m actually starting a new relationship. Big news, I know. As soon as my eyes met this fine German product at the grocery store today, I knew it was true love.
Seriously, the best $1.29 chocolate bar that has ever existed and I found it in some sketch grocery store while on a banana-shopping trip over my lunch break.
What’s your favorite type of chocolate? Or candy, if you’re not really into the whole chocolate thing freaks
Between studying and interning at the clinic this week, my plate has been pretty full in a good way (like there is ever a bad way for your plate to be full…)! Apparently my instructor was a drill sergeant in another life, because he seems to ascribe to the whole “break them down then build them up” training concept. Thank goodness we’re past the first day and onto the “build them up” stage. I miss my “old people” but I love being so challenged! It’s like a daily workout for my brain…. I swear I can feel my brain muscles growing… My head is going to get even bigger! I already can’t fit into “one size fits all” hats 
Anna has a big heart. I just have a big head.
Thanks for all the “Therapy Thursday” suggestions. I think I’ve got the next one figured out so be looking for it in the upcoming week! It’ll change your life, definitely. Not. In other blogging news, in the interests of gaining blog traffic and new lifelong friends, I’m thinking of starting a weekly link swap party/extravaganza! It’ll be on a certain day of the week, with an extremely catchy name. Ironing out the details, but hit me up with any thoughts/suggestions in the comments 
I’m going to get some studying done and get in bed early so I’ll wake up early and get a few miles in before clinic. Have a good rest of the week friends!

luckily my cats don’t like running shoes and are far tooooooo lazy to contemplate dragging or chewing……..although i suspect one of them did wee in a old pair i had….Eughhhhh……thanks for stopping by my blog….hope to see you again soon:)
Haha cats are such sneaky little devils! Pippa likes to do her damage in the open where everyone can see it
She’s a show off like her Mom…
Oh, good Lord – Schogetten! Not my favorite, but I know them! You’re making me miss Germany even more! Shame on you!
And I am so sorry about your shoes! That’s horrible! Unimaginable! But those Mizunos look really cool!
Whoever decided to put hazelnuts in a chocolate bar was pure genius…. God bless Germany. And I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t just a littttle excited about making a trip to the running store tomorrow after work…haha
haha! my dog peed on my new shoes once…. of all the shoes!!!
it’s like they just know which pair is the best… haha. I guess our dogs just have good tastes!
You have a bad dog! AND a Bad Nephewdog. BAD! BAD! BAD!
Genetics?:)
They must get it from their Grandpop….
Oh no! I would kill my cats if they attacked my running shoes, especially since they barely have miles on them and are beautiful. My shoes, not my cats.
I just giggled out loud…
Hey! New blog reader over here. I’ve only ever worn the Mizuno Wave Rider…I’ve probably had about 5 pairs, and I know they are the shoe for me. Not exactly familiar with that shoe though…which one is it?
So good to “meet” you! And it’s the Wave Inspire… it’s the stability version of the wave rider
Ok so mu favorite pair of asics are startingto rip and I’ve had my eye on mizunos or brooks shoes. Have you tried brooks at all? And in comparison to the asics, how do you like the mizunos?
I just answered your question in my most recent post!
