12K's of Christmas saves Earl Thomas's life

Yes, in an emotional moment - I pledged the life of Earl Thomas (the fish) on my ability to run the last 1.5 miles of the 12K's of Christmas.  When I got home, Earl was out of hiding and swimming with the other fish (Chris Hansen, Steve Balmer, One of Two, Two of Two, Emma (from the Following), and Marshawn Lynch)

Marshawn on left, Emma in front of rock, Steve Balmer blue guy, Chris orange guy and you can see Earl coming out from behind the rock. They are hard to photograph. 

Dress on me

It turned out cute and I got lots of compliments from the ladies at work.  They appreciated that I matched the plaids.

This is Rufus eating. I forgot to post it yesterday.

Steve and Chris live !!!

I went to the aquarium first thing when I got up. I could not find Steve. I checked to see if he was floating. But he was fine. I think they sleep in the bottom corner (the guy at the pet store said they sleep). Anyway, they are fine and look great. I cannot wait until this weekend when we get them friends and more plants

I am going to sew this into the waist. It is a nice touch. I probably won't finish until tomorrow night though because I still need hem it and I want to be careful.

Steve and Chris have been in their new home since 9 and all is well. They look a little overwhelmed but they look healthy. We will get them friends and more plants next weekend.

This is Rufus the Hummingbird. He sits on this little drain pipe fixture all day then flies about 18" to the feeder when he is hungry.  I put a heater out for him yesterday but he seems pretty happy in his little fort.  He has attacked Brian several times but  we forgive him.

Final big run before 12 K's of Christmas

Good news is that I did not fall. Bad news is that I am still the slowest runner on the earth
