The first Saturday of September means college football is back, baby!!!!!!!!!!! I can’t wait to settle in for a night of rooting on my Bulldogs!

While I also ponder Nike’s reasoning in these lovely (note the sarcasm) uniforms. Although I would wear them for $250,000 too. Nike – you know where to find me.  

But before I settle into the couch, it’s time to share some FFF Features action! After sharing a great big smooch because I love you so much. MMMMMUUUUAAAHH! Happy Saturday and Happy College Gameday!

Featured Personal Post: MS Relapse

And an update on my mom – she is home and doing better but still not breathing normally. The doctors believe it is simply a part of this relapse and that it will pass on its own soon. Kind of frustrating, but my mom feels okay as long as she takes it easy…which is what she needs to be doing anyways. Thank you again for all the prayers, support, and uplifting. We truly felt it.

And now a little extra cuteness for you as Makenzie & I ring in the new college football season Dawgs style!!

• Any college football for you today?
• What was your best workout this past week?

I have no clue what to tell you right now. No, seriously. Not a clue. You see, a lot of times I pre-write the main body of my posts one post ahead. I will edit, update and add the photos quickly closer to publishing, but the main writing has to come when I have more time to think – aka nap times and earlier wake-up calls.

This normally works just fine because I know ahead of time what I want to share or what I plan to do in a day. But, shooooot….didn’t work so well this time. I wrote this post this morning with not a clue as to what my day had in store for me…and therefore, not a clue what to tell you! But, it’s worth it. Or at least I hope it is. Remember, I have not a clue what is going on here.

After my long run this morning, Peter had some things planned as a celebration for my birthday. I had two requests – I don’t want to have to plan/worry/think about anything and I want to feel special/pampered/doted on more than normal. I know he feels he has to make up for the Mothers Day fiasco so he is sticking strongly to the surprise, fun, laid back, all-about-me day. But I don’t know what that involves. Good thing this control freak actually LOVES surprises like this and I promise to share it all with you tomorrow afternoon!

But I won’t leave you without anything. I still have this week’s FFF Features. Happy Saturday and happy reading!

Super duper sweetheart. Super duper funny. Super duper real. Super duper inspiring! Heather talks about a lot of stuff on her blog in a very genuine way. I always feel like I’m sitting down to chat with a good friend when I read her blog and am so proud of her! It felt fantastic to finally meet her this past weekend at Healthy Living Summit! She is just as wonderful in person. Give her some love!
