Lemons to Lemonade

Welcome back!

Yesterday, I started the  Couch-to-5K Running Plan, a schedule to get beginners running three  miles in just  two months.

WHY am I doing this?
I want to get fit and stay active.   I have recently noticed my body doesn’t participate well in any physical activity lately due to my sedentary lifestyle.

Does this mean I am going to become a distance runner? Not necessarily, but maybe.  I am challenging myself to do this because I have to prove to myself that I can.  If I enjoy it enough I will pursue a marathon…maybe.  Otherwise I will  just use it as my excuse to get out of the house to listen to my music and be one with nature.

I plan on blogging about my experience at the end of each week, reporting on the workouts.  I would love to have some company in this challenge.  Would you like to join me and post your progress on my blog comments? If so I will enter your name in a drawing for a Lavender Comfort Pillow at the end of the two months.

So come on, let’s do it!

Yep, it’s official, we are getting a puppy.

After much thought and the fact that my friend Jane posted about her Golden Retriever, Betty the Blonde having puppies, I have decided that I AM ready for  the responsibility of a  family pet.    This was confirmed  before we saw the puppies today and fell in love.  I would not let cuteness be the reason for my decision.

We’ll be able to bring our “Honey” home the first week of June.   Consider this our celebratory gift of summer vacation.

I’ll be prepping my home and learning all I can about Golden Retrievers over the next month.  If you have any tips for training please be sure to comment.

Well, I must be to have been the recipient of this custom made laptop bag from my dear friend VickiG.

Yeah, you heard me right, she made this for me as a gift.  If you want one it’ll be $100, but oh so worth every penny because Vicki is an awesome seamstress and you will be beyond happy with anything she makes.

Check out all the pockets and such.  I LOVE it and can’t wait to take it out and about and show it off.

Thank you Vicki, you spoil me with all your handmade goodness.

I hope all my readers will hop on over to Vicki’s Blog and take a peek at her talent.
Also take notice of her blog, I was her blog consultant and I can get you into your very own blog if you don’t have one yet.
