2/30 - The Most Beautiful Girl (in the room)

You could be a part...time...model, but you'd probably have to keep your day job.

The picture for today is probably the best picture of me taken in recent years. The wind created a natural model look with my hair which was awesome!

Also, most of what I'm wearing is from Forever 21. They just opened one at my local mall and that has been dangerous! :) My necklace is form the Forever 21 on 5th Avenue in NYC, which makes it much cooler than my other Forever 21 items.

1/30 - Back at One

Hooray! Day one of remix #2!

And yes...I MADE this skirt! In 1 hour. Last night. Without a pattern. Take that, Tim Gunn! 

I feel like this is a very "fall" palate, but it was 70 degrees outside today. So, fall weather...

Here we are all together, ready to remix!

Father 50

I was reading an article today in Runner's World about a kid who went to college and gained the Freshman 15. It got me thinking about other times in life we gain.

When I went to Target later, I was leaving the parking lot when a man and his son were coming out of Target with a cart full of air purifiers. And this man had a belly. Like, a HUGE budda. And yes, I was being pretty judge-y. But he seemed to be carrying the Father 50. What does this teach his son? It's ok for your gut to enter a room 3 seconds before the rest of you? Heart disease is something to aspire to?

And this, is why I run.

You know when you work toward something and spend so much time looking forward to it, that when it's over, you don't know what to do with yourself...

This last shot is the seniors and I being sad about graduation! Last Nebraska competition for them!

Ben rode the bus home from Nebraska with the show choir kids and I. Too cute! :)

Where's Ben?

100th post!

This is my 100th post! Yay me!

See, Ben's excited!

Manic Mon...er...Tues...um...Wednesday

Well, I meant to post this Monday, which felt like yesterday, but was actually Tuesday, which got pushed back to today, that is really Wednesday! Whew!

Anyway, enjoy my new Christmas money clothes!

Happy New Year!

So many plans for 2012. And I really feel good - gonna make it work!

1. Faith. Enough said.
2. Be healthy - and get my family healthy as well! We're going to try to phase out processed food and work toward real food in our diet!
3. Run. I did accomplish my 2011 resolution to run a race every month for a year, but what I didn't count on was that I could accomplish that without actually training in-between. So, I'd really like to run at least 3 times a week. I'd run right now if it weren't 1:30am and I was slightly tipsy! :)
4. Money. Earning, saving, paying-off.

There you go, check back in a week or so and we'll see how we're doing! In the meantime...

Prospero ano y felizidad!
