Dear X…

It seems today’s post will be a bit of a rave for products/companies I am having fluffy thoughts for at the moment…

Dear San Jose Sharks, I *heart* you no matter what.  We sure did have nice seats at least on Tuesday night.

Someone please tell Wayne Gretzky to stop fake-baking.  It is NOT attractive.

Dear lululemon, how did I not discover you until yesterday?  Your clothes are so cute (but expensive) and I thought I was going to have to wipe drool off my husband’s chin when I wore one of your tank tops out to dinner last night.  He insisted on returning to the store today for more.

Dear Saturn of Scottsdale service department, you rock.  You are incredibly fast, inexpensive and a delight to deal with.  You never try to talk me into extra service I don’t need.

Dear Louis Garneau, I love the new Flow running singlet and shorts I picked up on last week’s visit to Trisports.com.  The top even had a pocket I could stash my camera.

Dear legs, thank you for a rockin’ long run today.  Even though I haven’t treated you very kindly lately – and have in fact heaped on the abuse – you powered me through 11.5 miles from the car dealership up into McDowell Sonoran Preserve and back.  Over the course of this run, the temperature went from 57 to 81 degrees!

It all just seems to go up!

Dear Scottsdale, I will miss you.  Sadly, all good things must come to an end.  We head home tomorrow morning.  Every time I hear Krista talk about Rocky Point, I know exactly how she feels because Scottsdale is the same kind of place for me.  This trip went by too fast and it’s hard knowing I won’t be back for more than a weekend until October.  That said, with temps starting to hit the 90s, the dogs will be VERY happy to go home.

I always have to giggle a little when people discover Lululemon. I've been living in their clothes for 10 years now. Pretty rare that you'll see me in anything else, outside of work.

You look lovely in that photo running :-) I definitely have to check out Lululemon.

Three cheers for Jeff for taking you back to buy more clothes! Good guys are hard to find!

You know there is a Lululemon at Santana Row right? They have free yoga on Sundays that I want to try.

Oh, please your butt does NOT look big.

OMG, thanks for the thanks - I work at the Saturn Distribution Center for Service Parts in TN!!! Glad they hooked you up. If you're ever in the market for a new car, drop me a line. I gots discounts to share.

Great pictures. I've heard lululemon is great...I'm afraid to even look. Probably good like Athleta.

I keep hearing about Lululemon but have yet to come across one of their stores. Probably good for my pocketbook :-)

And thanks for posting all those photos of your AZ trip. I'm surprised how green it was up there too, much nicer than the few times I've been there in the summers usually.
