Cupids Dash
So I managed to get suckered into running a 4 mile race on Sunday morning (thanks Andrew)...It's the inagural Cupids Dash and I'm pretty sure it's actually going to be pretty awesome...They encourage costumes, have candy pit stops, and a Lovers Lane picture stop so you can take a pic with your running partner love (which I was supposed to have..but due to someone I know being a bum, I will be taking the picture by myself..). My mother has made me a cute red tutu and dammit, I'm gonna have a good time!
I've learned that I could focus on the fact that it's probably going to be cold, I'm running alone, and I haven't run more than 2.5 miles in months....OR I could focus on the fact that I'll be really proud of myself when I'm done, I can start my day with some great tunes, candy is a good distraction, and if I run the whole 4 miles I'm probably going to treat myself to a nice mani/pedi..and maybe a bloody mary...I'm also focusing on the words of my trusty personal trainer/man-guru, Steve Jones, "You don't have to run fast, you just have to run"
This one's for you, Steven Jones!
p.s. Dear Steve, I miss your silly self. Let's get a drink soon. Love, Madeline p.s. I heard the Buccs might actually learn how to play football next year...cross your fingers ;)

The Blaisanator
"Eating should be somewhat dangerous sometimes" --Richard Blais
Richard Blais might be one of my favorite celebrity chefs. He also may be singlehandly responsible for my interest in adventurous eating...He's most well known for his focus on molecular gastronomy.
Which then brings me to the best meal I've probably ever had....Moto
I will fully admit that this is a ridiculously expensive experience. But it will be the most memorable meal you've ever had. I had a course based on a burning cigar that not only looked like a burning cigar, was served in an ashtray, and managed to conjure up the idea of a smokey cigar in an absolutely delicious way..Plus, how can you not like a couple of chefs that team up with TED?

Way Too Complicated
But incredibly cute! I don't know who this woman is but she has 1) some serious time on her hands and 2) way more patience than I could ever imagine.
I am baker
Seriously, you should go check out her Valentine's Day stuff...it's ridiculous..

Random Thoughts
1) I had a dream last night that Brett Favre and I were secretly dating.
2) During said dream, I had to go back to high school and needed a ride from Brett's house in the burbs to my school in the city..My lovely friend Courtney was there but she had to drive to her mom's house to help her mom learn to spell (fyi, her mom was a HORRIBLE speller..it was quite a shame). Courtney agreed to take me with to her mom's house and then let me take the car from there. It took me 3 hours to get to school, I was super late, and my band teacher was PISSED. Oh, and Brett was no help at all. Thanks a lot Brett.
3) Pharon just told me a story about a snake getting tangled up in a friends window air conditioner. I almost threw up.
4) FYI- if snakes ever appear in my house, I will be moving. No questions asked. No "oh Madeline, I'll get rid of it and it will never come back". Nope. Moving. Done.
5) If they show up in a toilet we're in real trouble. Cause scars like that don't go away.

I Wish...
I went to see The Roommate last night. It stars Minka Kelly and Leighton Meister as college roommates. Minka is gorgeous and Leighton goes crazy. Totally entertaining brainless junk. I'd watch it again. I don't know what that says about me...Anyway, the problem I have now is that I desperately want to look like Minka Kelly. I have brown hair, she has brown hair. Her brown hair is luxurious, mine is not. I have brown eyes, she has brown eyes. Her brown eyes are deep dark pools of prettiness, mine are just brown because they didn't realize green or blue are better colors. She is little and sweet looking. I am ginormous and "unique" looking (in an "Uma Thurman way" I was once told). Minka wears cute hats and scarves that look cool and trendy. I wear hats and scarves to a) stay warm or b) hide the fact that I haven't showered.
That being said, I'm considering massive amounts of plastic surgery in order to look like this:
Let's remember, currently I look something like this:
hmmmmm...damn you Minka Kelly....

Jackpot!
I had a good workout this morning and decided to reward myself by scoping out Marshall's down the street. I went in with the hopes of finding some cute, cheap shoes...Instead, I hit a pretty decent designer jackpot! (I mean, jackpot might be a little bit of a stretch but it's pretty rockin regardless)
Got this Cynthia Rowley dress in black for $20! I with you could see the back..it's got a racer back with a gold zipper going from the waist up! So cute! I'm picturing cute summer outings already...
Also got a pair of $95 Cole Haan aviators for $20!
Seriously, if I could have added a sweet pair of shoes to this mix, I would have had the best bargain shopping trip ever...
A girl can dream...

Happy Ears
I've known Peter since pre-school...In fact, our parents were great friends, our brothers are best friends, and most of my childhood memories include him. This being said, I'm pretty sure that makes me totally biased...HOWEVER, trust me when I say, he makes some of the best mixcasts you'll ever find..

Just remember when you're rockin out--I told you so.

Seriously, this might be the best cooking blog you've never heard of. It's not only incredibly sassy and innappropriate, it's also got GREAT recipes! Plus, he includes step by step pictures for preparation.
And can you really go wrong with a recipe called "O-Faced Oatmeal"??? I think not.
