Highlight of this morning? Seeing this when I logged into my blog today:

So that happened.

And now I bring you my collection of Stuff From All Over - all the little things that don’t go anywhere else.

Fall Travel Plans! I’m going to CHICAGO in November! I’ll be there for about 3 days and I’ve never been before  so if you have favorite places I absolutely must visit while I’m there, please let me know. Of course, if you’re there and want to meet up for coffee or something, definitely let me know that too!

Motivation. I gave a little pep talk this week that I’m particularly proud of. It’s no “Any Given Sunday” Inch by inch speech, but it might do.

Another cool thing happening this week to get you inspire is #OperationPantsFit.  Emily, who I met at Fitbloggin, and several others are teaming up for #OperationPantsFit:

#operationpantsfit because the only muffin top I want is pumpkin-flavored \\ life + running \\ lifeplusrunning.com

This is not a “let’s lose _ number of pounds” kind of challenge, it’s a “let’s get to a point where we feel like rock stars in our favorite jeans” kind of thing. It’s more about doing whatever it is you need to feel happy and healthy. So if that’s what you’re after right now,  head over to Calee’s blog and check it out.

General Awesomeness. My friend Molly went to Kenya on a mission trip and if the love and service they provided while they were there weren’t amazing enough on its own, she and her team had an extra special treat for the women they met over there: manicures! Reading her post is a great reminder that people everywhere love to be appreciated and pampered. And if those pictures don’t bring a smile to your face I’m not sure what will!

Weekend Plans. Mine don’t include sleeping all day, like last weekend’s did. Hallelujah!

Hope you’re all having an awesome week!

I’ll be up there right after Thanksgiving! Oh my gosh, that would be cool wouldn’t it?

Gah, Chicago is only 6 hours from me! If I didn’t have the little bean, I’d so make the trip. And you should be super proud of your pep talk post because it was awesome!

YAY! Thanks for joining up. I so shoulda gone to Fitbloggin’ but I’m poor. I would have met more awesome blogger peeps.

PS you and Heather from Kiss My broccoli kind of look like twins (just the first pic in this post)

You must eat at Ditka’s Gail, ( CJ’s mom) and I ate there and it is fantastic. Even for breakfast
