First Annual Twilight 5k Run

Sooooo, in spite of a dreary weather day Ferguson's First Annual Twilight 5k Run went off without a hitch.  Over 600 runners and walkers gathered at Florissant Rd. and Suburban to support the effort to "Live Well".  And of course, the Catty Kitchen didn't miss the chance to make an appearance.

Pre-Race birthday celebration

Free beer samples, although I am not sure how this is 'living well' prior to race running, but it sure was tasty.

Another "Live Well" faux pas.........pre-race sugar cookies

The starting line..........

The finish line....somewhere along the way we picked up cocktails and a cake.

Jenna's post-race beautification

Finally, we made it to the new Hill Brewing Co. for post race beers and eats.  Good job to the city of Ferguson for hosting cool events for your residents to participate in.  Woot!

Girl's Night in the New Year

And it was freezing! We probably didn't have any business being out of our houses, but we just had to get together and be catty.

So we've got a lot of things planned to do this year that we are looking forward to.....for example in an effort to get better at the things we love to do and maybe make some converts out of those who aren't as experienced we are going to do Catty Seminars once a month. It looks like Melissa and Faith will be giving the rest of us tips and hints to improve our cooking and baking. Jenn and Octavia will be expanding the Kitchen's crafty mind. We are not sure what team Jenna is on yet, but I bet she goes with those crafty girls. We are also trying to setup a guest seminar with our favorite jeweler in the Lou.............Katie Miller of Scarlett Garnet. She is going to show how to revamp our old, worn out and sometime ugly jewelry into new accessories.

Look......It's the Mona Lisa with purple balls on her face! Moving on.........

Anyway, since Mel lives far away and is smarter than the rest of us, we had a good time trying to have a video conference with her. It was totally unfair because she came equipped with props and the rest of us just laughed our asses off. We got a chance to catch up with her since she returned from her cruise and discuss all the new plans.

Isn't she so pretty? Our hostess with the mostess guided us through our video conference while we practiced our kegels and discussed the Fatty Catty plan. What is the Fatty Catty plan you say? You'll see.......updates are coming and we are going to have some of the best habits you can think of.
