The Hungry Runner Girl: Grumpy Snickerdoodle

Grumpy Snickerdoodle

If you don't like snickerdoodles you can leave the blog now.

I am totally kidding. I love you even if you don't have taste buds.

I have never met someone that doesn't love a warm soft snickerdoodle covered in cinnamon sugar goodness.

After my neighbor tried to steal my husband I knew I had to do something to win his heart back.

So, I went home and watched the Bachelor on my computer as I made cookies. I used thisdelicious recipefor the cookies.

Why do I love to stack my cookies?

Don't worry Mom or Dr. Graph, I put mine in a blender with vanilla ice cream and milk to blend it up to a snickshakedoodle.

I think it worked, he can't even remember what the neighbor brought over now, muhahaha:)

P.S. If you say, "Janae, your cheek looks back to normal!" I will cry. I am just hoping they are still swollen from the surgery and not permanently chipmunkish.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tuesday morning I did the stair climber and the elliptical for my workout because my right calf muscle (or lack there of) has been bugging me and I DO NOT WANT AN INJURY.

I went to school and did my thang when a student raised her hand and said, "Mrs. Jacobs, did you not run this morning?"

I am not even making this up. I asked her why she thought that and she told me I was being kinda grumpy compared to my usual jumping around the room self.

I evaluated my actions for the day and I really had no reason to be grumpy and I was acting reserved and quiet because I didn't RUN and because I think I was freaking myself out that I might have to take (feel free to gasp) a week off from running.

Don't worry though, after hanging out with the billmister I was back to my annoyingly optimistic self because life IS awesome whether we get to run or not!!!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Do you get grumpy when you don't get your run on?

-Yep, even though I did get my endorphin fix that morning something felt off with me and I couldn't even eat candy to cope with my loss.

What is your favorite cookie in the entire world?

-I LOVE a good sugar cookie. Nothing beats a soft cookie with delicious frosting and sprinkles. Get in my belly.

P.S. I PEED MY PANTS A LITTLE WHEN I REACHED 500 FOLLOWERS LAST NIGHT AND BILLY RAN OVER TO HIS COMPUTER SAYING HE WAS GOING TO DEFOLLOW ME SO I WOULD BE BACK TO 499. I TOOK THE COOKIES BACK FROM HIM AND WILL FREEZE THEM UNTIL I CAN EAT THEM AGAIN.

At January 26, 2011 at 6:00 AM , Anonymous said...: YES I get so grumpy, but if I get to kick toosh on the spin bike for an hour it is all better:) I was grumpy because my hammy was feeling like I pulled it after my long run, so the spin bike was my next best option and was SO GOOD I love making spin classes for myself!:)

Slash send me snickernoodles I love cookies:)

I loove chocolate-chip peanut butter cookies, though!
Congrats on reaching 500 followers!
At January 26, 2011 at 6:14 AM , Mary said...: YUM I love frosted sugar cookies too! Or a chocolate chip cookie cake. And I don't necessarily get grumpy if I don't run but I can get abnormally chipper after I do. That's so funny that your student noticed! & YAY for 500 followers!
At January 26, 2011 at 6:17 AM , Running Ricig said...: 500 followers is AWESOME! Way to be!

I definitely get grumpy if I can't run, that's pretty much why I hate rest days. I try to take them during the week so I can just go to bed early instead of running after work. Sometimes it works.

I could never pick a favorite cookie. It seems so cruel to leave the other cookies out, but I think if I had to choose it would be a black and white cookie. they are awesome!
At January 26, 2011 at 6:22 AM , Anonymous said...: You crack me up! Those cookies look so yummy. My favorite cookie is one with lots of stuff in it, like chocolate, oats, nuts, peanut butter whatever. The more loaded up, the better.

I am definately cranky if I don't work out. I didn't run the last 3 days of vacation, and I felt terrible.

Congrats on the 500 followers, that's amazing!

At January 26, 2011 at 6:25 AM , Pam @ herbieontherun.com said...: WOOHOO for 500! (501 now actually!)

You take care of that calf!

My favorite cookie, by leaps and bounds, is white chocolate chip w/ macadamia nuts.

I just drooled on my keyboard a little bit thinking about it.
At January 26, 2011 at 6:29 AM , Stephanie said...: I am a lot more anxious on days when I don't run, although I also think I come off a tad grumpy!

Fav cookie hands down is oatmeal rasin- soft or crunch, yum!
At January 26, 2011 at 6:32 AM , Liz said...: Holy moly, 500 followers! Congrats. And when you make it to the Olympics, we can all say, "I follow her blog!"
At January 26, 2011 at 6:44 AM , Danielle said...: I like all cookies, not sure I could choose just one.

congrats on the 500 followers!

I get SUPER grumpy when I can't run, but nothing compared to keeping food from me when I am hungry. I turn into a crazy person then :)
At January 26, 2011 at 6:46 AM , Anonymous said...: Hooray 500! You deserve many more!

Mmm chocolate chip are so good... and lots of icing on sugar cookies... and my mom's molasses cookies...

I get grumpy if I haven't ran or exercised.
At January 26, 2011 at 6:48 AM , dawn @ running the dawn said...: mmmm, i love oatmeal raisin cookies or anything with ginger :) yum!

i do all my running after school, so if i'm grumpy...its all me :)
At January 26, 2011 at 6:52 AM , middleagedrunner said...: 500 followers is AMAZING!
I'm ploanning to celebrate when (AND IF....) I hit 50.
I get completely crabby if I'm too sedentary, and then start worrying about the state of my fitness, finances, life, my dog's bad obedience- ya know- the usual stuff.... INSANE!
I love frosted sugar cookies and soft m&m cookies the very best. And I eat oatmeal raisin cookies for breakfast because they are basically a granola bar.
I hope your calf/shin feels better today- I hate the feeling of impending injury and that makes me cranky too!
At January 26, 2011 at 7:15 AM , Runnin-From-The-Law said...: I'm super crabby when I can't run.

I LOVE my MIL's gingersnaps. They are crispy and so so delicious. I literally can't help myself and eat like 8 in a row.
At January 26, 2011 at 7:17 AM , TNTcoach Ken said...: Yeah, where is that calf MUSCLE????? HA
At January 26, 2011 at 7:18 AM , desertrunnergirl said...: I get extremely grumpy if I don't run, and I feel like the whole day is ruined. That's why I always do at least 3 miles (even on a rest day)!!

Funny you would mention your calf pain...I was wondering if you ever get injured or deal with injury-type pain because I can feel my IT band flaring up again and it's ticking me off. Do you have many problems like that?
At January 26, 2011 at 7:19 AM , Pam said...: I do feel a little "off" when I don't run. For example, yesterday I tried to take a rest day but, by the evening I was on the treadmill and felt much better. REST DAYS are hard...resting for me is 2 miles, 2 minutes slower than regular pace.

Favorite cookie...hmmm...starbuck oatmeal,cranberry,raisin cookie!! :)

Smart girl for taking it easy and opting to cross-train! I hope your calf begins to feel better, but...if it doesn't please don't push it!! massage, stretch!!!

love ya sweetie xo :)! have a great Wednesday!!
At January 26, 2011 at 7:26 AM , Matt @ The Athlete's Plate said...: Peanut butter cookies are where it's at ;)
At January 26, 2011 at 7:27 AM , Anonymous said...: I know I saw that last night too.. 500 see cause your most AWESOMENESS!!! Yes I am incredibly grumpy when I can't run... But Im gettin old too so that counts. I love snickerdoodles and how come all your neighbors bring you food? :)
At January 26, 2011 at 7:29 AM , Holly said...: That is too funny that your student asked you that!! I am definitely a different person when I do not workout/ run- grumpy mcgrumperton for sure :)
Favorite cookies- Oatmeal raisin for sure! (<-- sounds like an old grandma! haha :) )
Have a good day- continue to get better!
At January 26, 2011 at 7:30 AM , Shannon said...: I can just pick ONE cookie? Sad. I do love a good snickerdoodle... but chocolate chip is always good, too... and peanut butter...

I'm thinking you need to send some of those snickerdoodles my way. And that red plate...

I feel grumpy when I feel like I'm about to get an injury, or just thinking about injuries.
At January 26, 2011 at 7:31 AM , Mallory said...: Haha it's funny because I noticed yesterday that you were almost to 500. Congrats!!!

I definitely get a bit cranky when I don't run and I just FEEL a lot better when I do run. It's a good feeling.

My favorite cookie is plain old chocolate chip. YUM.
At January 26, 2011 at 7:32 AM , Laura @ Meet Virginia said...: The snickshakedoodle sounds ah-ma-zing! Mmmm! I am planning on making the best ever cookies in the whole world this weekend, and I'll definitely share the recipe. I hope you have a wonderful day, gorgeous girl! :)
At January 26, 2011 at 7:33 AM , Heather -Momma Running Amok said...: 500 followers...I was happy when I woke up yesterday to see my #'s jumped from 11 to 13 over night! :) Snickerdoodles are wonderful and yours look great. I do get grumpy when I don't run...running seems to allow me to blow off a lot more steam than a workout on the elliptical or a class at the gym. I can tell by the end of the day when I haven't run b/c I am a ticking time bomb with my boys....My favorite cookie in the world is a half moon (aka black and white) BUT from a specific bakery in Rochester NY....Chocolate cake like cookie with yummy white and chocolate frosting!!!
At January 26, 2011 at 7:36 AM , Anonymous said...: My coworker makes tasty snickerdoodles occasionally and brings them to work to share. One time this annoying as all get out guy was overhead saying "man, I HATE it when people ruin a perfectly good sugar cookie by putting cinnamon on it!"

It's a running joke at the office.

Also, I recently came across this snickerdoodle hummus recipe which I thought I should shake with you: http://www.thewannabechef.net/2011/01/17/snickerdoodle-dessert-hummus/

At January 26, 2011 at 7:41 AM , Gracie said...: That's the cutest story ever. I don't know if I get grumpy, but I get antsy when I don't run. Especially if it's more than one day.
At January 26, 2011 at 7:54 AM , Meg O @watchmegorun said...: Yummm can u send some of those cookies my way?! I get grumpy when I don't run and usually get mad at myself. My fav cookies are these ones at a bakery near me: choc chip with a fudge filling in the middle.
Ps- I liked that movie yesterday, I think u would too!
At January 26, 2011 at 7:56 AM , Christina said...: I stayed up too late last night, so not only am I grumpy from lack of sleep, it kept me from getting up and running this morning. I will be rectifying this situation at lunchtime!

I love snicker-doodles btw! And you stack them because it makes a much more fun cookie shot than them all laying there in neat little lines :)

Have a good day! Hopefully your calf doesn't give you too much trouble!
At January 26, 2011 at 8:02 AM , BigHappyFamily said...: Can I follow you twice and get Billy's cookies?

I am a big grumpy pants when I can't run, yessirree ... and right now I am waiting to hear if childcare will open at the gym (due to snow). I am growing impatient and nervous while I wait.
At January 26, 2011 at 8:05 AM , misszippy said...: Funny thing about snickerdoodles...in my running group, we use the word snickerdoodle to get the others to slow down when they get going too fast! (long story!)
At January 26, 2011 at 8:07 AM , Anonymous said...: Are you to darn cute! Way to get your man back with cookies, that is the route I would have gone also! It's really hard to pick my favorite cookie...I love chocolate chip cookies especially pizookies (half baked in a deep dish pizza pan all warm and covered in ice cream!) but I also love a butter-y sugar cookie with sprinkles the crunchy sparkly kind! Congrats on your 500 followers! That is so awesome=)
At January 26, 2011 at 8:07 AM , Danielle said...: snickerdoodles are amazing. LOVE them! When I'm grumpy at school my kids ask me if I forgot my tea this morning. oops.
YAY for 500 followers! : )
At January 26, 2011 at 8:09 AM , Heather said...: The snickerdoodles look yummy!! yes, I can be a bit grumpy if i don't get to run or bike. My favorite cookies are chocolate chip!!
At January 26, 2011 at 8:15 AM , Rae said...: Ok, now I want to make snickerdoodles. :)
At January 26, 2011 at 8:20 AM , Rachel Marie said...: Oh I am right there with you on the sugar cookies. Yum yum yum. I may have been known to dive across the table and fight it out for the last cookie...sadly, while I was fighting the 9 year old, the husband ate the cookie.

Congrats on the 500 followers milestone!

As for the mood enhancing endorphins, I'll let you know over the next few months. :) Hopefully this lingering lung crap will go away soon.

And I love love love your optimism!
At January 26, 2011 at 8:23 AM , Stefanie D. said...: OMG. I think we were meant to be soul mates. First off...snickerdoodles are THE BEST. MmmmMmm. Second, SUGAR COOKIES!!! I live for them. Favorite cookie of all time.

At January 26, 2011 at 8:45 AM , Anonymous said...: Grumpy does not even begin to describe it, haha... sometimes I worry about the BF getting mad when I ditch him for a run, but I think he's figured out the world is a better place when I do!

Fave cookies in the ENTIRE WORLD are those jumbo ones you get a Nordstroms with the coconut, chocolate chips and macadamia nuts inside. OMG. I need one!
At January 26, 2011 at 8:45 AM , Jess said...: In general, I get really grumpy if I don't get my exercise in first thing in the morning. I love me some endorphins! Cookies?! I'd have to say the Monster Cookie. Definitely NOT healthy but filled with oatmeal, M&Ms, chocolate chips, and PB.
At January 26, 2011 at 8:47 AM , Julia said...: ahhhh! i LOVE cookies...i seriously used to be obsessed and would make chocolate chip cookies at least twice per week...i had to cut back but reading this post totally made me want to go on a cookie making spree again. YUM!

i also feel different when I do not run or at least do something in the morning. I don't know if I get grumpy (maybe) but definitely groggy and like all i want to do is sleep all day and be TOTALLY unproductive...haha.

At January 26, 2011 at 8:48 AM , Kimberly said...: I want a snickerdoodle shake! Snickerdoodles may be one of my favorite cookies but I'd give a limb for Samoas (Girl Scouts). Thankfully, I only have to hand over $7 to a co-worker today and not my leg.

I'm not sure if I get crabby when I don't run but I do get depressed ... which would make me irritable ... which would make me cranky. So, yeah, I get crabby.

And, Janae, I'm so glad your cheek looks back to normal so you can welcome your 500th follower!

but the question remains...how was the snickshakedoodle?
At January 26, 2011 at 9:15 AM , Anonymous said...: I totally get grumpy when I cant workout... except for today when I chose to sleep in instead of doing cardio. I'm okay with that, I'll still lift weights tonight which clearly makes me much happier anywya!!

I love any cookie, but it's gotta be soft and chewy and bonus points if there is oatmeal, pb and chocolate involved.
At January 26, 2011 at 9:20 AM , my little celebration said...: Ha! you peed your pants. That's hilarious.

Favorite cookie: sugar cookie OR white chocolate macadamia nut : )

Lastly, yousofunny.

At January 26, 2011 at 9:27 AM , Laurie said...: Mmmm snickerdoodles. I'm pretty fickle with my cookie faves, depends on the day and the season. Basically there isn't a cookie I don't like. :) As for running, I'm definitely happier when I've done it.

Smart girl looking out for your calf! I hope everything is feeling 100% asap. I'm learning more and more than I need endorphins everyday. Running is definitely my favorite, but I'll take an interval workout on the elliptical as well. I wish my apt gym had a stairclimber!

Hope you are having a great day Janae!

At January 26, 2011 at 11:23 AM , Jen said...: I love snickerdoodles. My daughter made me some on Monday. I didn't do a shake. I just sucked on it until it melted. But my favorite is oatmeal peanut butter chocolate chip cookies!
I get grumpy if I haven't run. My husband has said that very same thing to me before.
I hope your calf thing is nothing serious. Maybe it's because of your new shoes? I know that my calves went through some serious adjustment after the no heel raise thing. Good luck!
At January 26, 2011 at 11:24 AM , 5 Miles Past Empty said...: M & M sugar cookies from Safeway!! To. Die. For. I have even had my friends in WA mail them to me here in NC. Life sucks without them. I have tried to replicate the recipe but I can't get it perfect.

And I am super grumpy today...it's a much needed rest day. I copped an attitude with the dude at the supplement store because he told me that if I was worried about the 200 calories in the scoop of protein then I needed to take a long look in the mirror and lay off the twikies. What a serious jerk. I told him I don't eat twinkies and he can go back to lifting heavy weights and putting them down again while I go run 26 miles...jerk face. Ugh, still so mad. THEN i went to the post office an got mad at the lady when she made me feel stupid for not having the address already on a box I was sending. I turned around and carried 2 huge boxes out and said, "I'm going to UPS" she muttered somthing about it costing more and said, "Yea I'll pay for better service anyday."

So, maybe I need to workout....

I definitely feel off when I'm not able to run. It makes me really look forward to when I can run again.
At January 26, 2011 at 11:39 AM , Anonymous said...: heck yeah I get sad when I dont run. My mood changes completely! As long as I do a spin class or run, I'm happy but fiance always reminds me to just be my happy self because thats who he fell in love with, so run or not, I'm happy :)

I love snickerdoodles and oreo cookies :)

I know what you mean, after having a cold for a few days and not running I was so excited to get out and do 2 miles this morning. Even though it was slow and my legs were like um excuse me what are you doing it felt awesome!
At January 26, 2011 at 11:44 AM , Anonymous said...: The cookies look awesome. You are so making me hungry for some! I will take the ones you aren't letting Billy have ;-)

I'm in a bad mood today, because I didn't run before work like planned (I slept poorly). Even though I am planning to run after work, i'm still mad that I didn't run before (I run much better in AM)

I get anxious when I don't run/work out. I wasn't going to today because I'm going to my parents for dinner after work but I think when I get home later I'm going to have to do something!

Now I'm only allowed to run three to four days a week. So although cross training really does suck compared to running... ah sigh... its totally worth not over doing it! Hang in there girly.
(oh and your cookies look amazing.. yum!)

At January 26, 2011 at 12:00 PM , Just Run With It said...: Mmmmm, snickerdoodles... although, I have to say no bake cookies are the bee's knees. My fav fo' sho'. Also? You so do not look like a chipmunk :P

You look great...even with the puffy cheeks.
At January 26, 2011 at 12:10 PM , Meg said...: so, we're in the same boat right now. I haven't run since sunday (an attempt to let the broken toe heal) and I'm in SUCH a bad mood. I've biked, walked, everything else but I'm just in a total funk. I'm SO FRUSTRATED that I can't run that it's eating away at me. I'm not remotely pleasant to be around. yesterday, after walking a few miles on campus (in the snow and ice) and my toe was THROBBING, I sat down in class to eat my lunch. the professor told me that she doesn't like food in her classroom. I got so disproportionately angry that I verbally ripped her face off and then strongly considered dropping the class because I was SO annoyed and in so much pain and I just wanted my freaking cottage cheese!! ....I need to run soon. before I start hitting people.

One of those body builder types. Totally useless if you ask me. Yes you are strong but can you out run that lion that wants to eat you? Because I am sure his claws and teeth will tear through your muscles in about 1/10 of a second. But, hey, you got big muscles....

Snikerdoodles were the very first cookie I ever made, and I now love to bake. MMMMMMMM.
At January 26, 2011 at 12:51 PM , {will run for margaritas} said...: Yum, Yum, Yum - can't wait to try these. I absolutely LOVE snickerdoodles!

At January 26, 2011 at 12:57 PM , Jess @ Blonde Ponytail said...: I am so HUNGRY right now after reading this post!!! I am totally laughing at Billy's threat though! I knew you would be at +500 easy peasy (I think I made that comment back to you in Nov.)!

I love reading your posts and know reaching a 1000 followers will be a piece-o-cake for you!!

Your so photogenic and beautiful, your cheeks do not detract from your gorgeousness at all!
At January 26, 2011 at 1:16 PM , Leah @ Why Deprive? said...: I love snickerdoodles!! My boyfriend wont eat them because he doesnt like cinnamon (I wont tell you why, its upsetting) but that just leaves more for me anyhow right?

Im always happier when I run. Always.
At January 26, 2011 at 1:49 PM , J said...: Hope your calf is feeling better! I love these cookies from the grocery store - I think they are sugar cookies but they have icing/frosting stuff on them and have like 8g of fat each and i just love them. They come 10 to a box and I have to hide the box otherwise I would eat all 10 (instead of 5) in one sitting!
At January 26, 2011 at 2:19 PM , Anonymous said...: Wow, you are a popular lady! I was happy to reach 50 followers yesterday and you're at 500! Awesome sauce! (Love that expression.)

I'm not a cookie person, but I would say snickerdoodles or oatmeal raisin would be my choice. And Mrs. Fields huge plain sugar cookies are yummy too.
At January 26, 2011 at 2:33 PM , Susan - Nurse on the Run said...: I had to take two months off from running in 2010 and I was sooooo grumpy! Also had a terrible job that ate at my soul, but it was funny once I started running again because two of my nurses were like "Oh, did you start running again? You seem happier." CRAZY I TELL YOU.
At January 26, 2011 at 2:39 PM , Demetria Raper said...: hahahaha. . .you are SO FUNNY!!! i love me some sugar cookies w/icing too! they're the best. mainly b/c of my obsession w/icing. i love icing. those snickerdoodles looked INCREDIBLE though. i think i absorbed some calories just looking at them.
yeah. . i've found i get not grumpy but anxious when i miss more than a few days. running=medicine for me it seems :)
At January 26, 2011 at 2:42 PM , Katy said...: My favorite cookie is also sugar with frosting. Frosting ALWAYS makes everything better!! Though warm gooey chocolate chip are up there....Lol.

You and Billy are hilarious!
At January 26, 2011 at 2:43 PM , Momma got the runs said...: You kill me! Those lumps of cookie lovin' are so in my brain. DO I have to cook them? Oh man I might. Oh lord Im sweating.
And YEAH I get nervous and grumpy when I dont run. If I get arthroscopy on my knee, I cant run for a month and so I am actually contimplating not doing it and living life as a gimp to as to preserve my sanity. And to my husband from running away from a nonrunning podperson version of his wife.
At January 26, 2011 at 2:50 PM , Abby said...: This makes me want a "snickshakedoodle" and I don't even have a sensible reason to be drinking my cookies, it just sounds ridiculously yummy!
At January 26, 2011 at 2:55 PM , Anna P said...: Yes. =) During the fall whenever I didnt run, it affected my mood for that day, which probably explains why I have been in a funk for most of the winter as my running has spiraled down to a piddly 6 miles a week!
And I LOVE a good soft cookie, not too picky on the kind, love snickerdoodles, chocolate chips with finely diced walnuts and those little PB cookies with the hershey's kiss in the middle. Sweet Goodness. =)
At January 26, 2011 at 3:01 PM , Julie @ HotlegsRunner said...: i love snickerdoodles. esp the ones my daughter makes =)

yes, I think I'll be grumpy everyday if I don't workout. haha! You? grumpy? can't imagine that at all. =)
At January 26, 2011 at 3:37 PM , Anonymous said...: I DO get grumpy and irritable when I don't get my run on! I've been talking about that. My body craves a good run.

I think snickerdoodles just may be my favorite cookie. As a ice cream shake sounds amazing. Oatmeal cookies would make a good one too. Mmm.......
At January 26, 2011 at 3:44 PM , EBURNS said...: Girl, just remember it is ok to be grumpy! Sometimes others, or even ourselves get so used to the positive/upbeat person they forget we are allowed other emotions too. If you are grumpy....allow yourself to be grumpy, for you it'll probably pass in a couple of hours anyways. :)

Happy 500, wow, and you still know how to make us each feel special. thanks.
At January 26, 2011 at 4:16 PM , Anonymous said...: I get SO grumpy when I can't run. Like this week, since I've newly injured my achilles (BOO). I get so moody and sad until I re-evaluate things and realize it's not the end of the world. Still waiting to get to that point now though...

I love cookies with chocolate and peanut butter in them. ANd snickerdoodles, of course :)
At January 26, 2011 at 4:27 PM , funderson said...: HA! That's so funny about your student. It is so true...we're all such junkies.
ALL cookies are my favorite...

At January 26, 2011 at 5:25 PM , Mommyrunsoncoffee said...: 500!!!!! Woot ! That's because you rock! I look forward to your blog everyday.

I love soft cookies with icing, white chocolate chip cookies and peanut butter cookies. I don't like chocolate chip.

I am grumpy, irritable and blue without running (spinning will do). Thus, I am grumpy right now and can't wait for my next run (which will require me to wake up by 4:40 am).
At January 26, 2011 at 5:51 PM , Anonymous said...: I would absolutely be quiet and grumpy if I couldn't run, but it's good you can do other activities.
At January 26, 2011 at 5:52 PM , Amanda@runninghood said...: I certainly get grumpy. I'm skipping my run today and any workout really because the pain is still there on the side of my leg..it is now going up to my hip. booo. I think it is the IT band but who knows. Congrats on 500 folllowers. Doesn't surprise me a teensy bit. You're wonderful Janae. xo
At January 26, 2011 at 5:53 PM , Nicole said...: will you mail me some snickerdoodles? they look scrumptious!!! i'm jealous!!!!!!

when i get in my running phase & dont run, i'm cranky too! i hope your calf is ok!
At January 26, 2011 at 8:04 PM , Adrianna said...: if i have a run planned, and it doesnt/can happen, i feel a little off and tend to be more subdued. i hope this doesnt come off creepy, but my right calf has been driving me nuts, too. i'm taking it easy, doing other work-outs and icing and such...definitely nice to sweat, no matter what, but wouldnt mind a good 'ol run.

white choc macadamia nut w/ cranberries. or double choc chip.
At January 28, 2011 at 9:59 AM , Heather said...: yes! I definitely get grumpy and don't feel like myself if I don't work out or run. But my running buddy is THE WORST! When I talked to him on days we didn't have training runs for our marathon he was seriously so cranky and I told him he needed to run stat. Now he's only run a few times since Dec. 11th...needless to say I avoid him as much as possible until he's ready to run again. :)

Oh I love so many cookies, but probably peanut butter chocolate chip (those ones you break and bake...yum!!).

Congrats on over 500 followers! It's b/c your blog is so fun!! That's hilarious what Billy said...sounds like something my husband will do when I reach my 30. :) OH wait, he doesn't follow me so he can't do that! :)
