It's been a great, long weekend so far. The girls had Thursday and Friday off for Parent/Teacher Conferences, so we've been able to sleep in and just hang out. Love having down time with my babies.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Check It Out!

Hey Hey Sweet Shoppers! It's that time of year again! February 1st, SEVEN years ago, SSD opened it's doors and this year, we're celebrating in style! Just look at all the awesome new FREE gifts we have for you this weekend!

 

Week 1, Day 2

"The woods would be silent if no birds sang except those that sang the best.  Do not wait; the time will never be "just right".  Start where you are, work with whatever is in your command and better tools will be found as you go along". ~Unknown

So, today was supposed to be day 2 of my C25K program, but I had a doc appointment that lasted WAY too long and by the time I was done, it was time to pick the kids up and get dinner going...you know the drill.  So, I'll make it up tomorrow.  Hopefully it'll be a bit warmer as well.  It's been pretty chilly the last couple days.  I need a treadmill, then I'll have no excuse. lol

Lots of scrapping in the works for this weekend.  Will have TONS to show off in a couple days.  WOOHOO

Week 1, Day 1

"What matters is not the idea a man holds, but the depth at which he holds it."  ~Ezra Pound

I think I shared some of this a couple weeks ago, but I finally got started, so I gotta report. A little back story...Instead of making resolutions at the beginning of the year, I set a few goals for myself. Most are internal self improvement goals because after all I learned about myself in 2012, things need to change!  Anyway, the goal that I feel is going to be the most difficult to achieve is...drum roll please...to run a 5k race by June.  It might not seem like much to some, but it's huge for me!  I HATE running! lol  But I can only imagine how good it will feel to FINALLY kick running's ass (in my own head).  So, I've been working on getting my lungs in a little better shape by going out for a fast walk about 4 days a week.  Today was the day I decided I needed to actually start working toward that elusive 5k.  Today was week 1, day 1 of the Couch to 5k running program.  In theory, the program is supposed to take someone who is completely out of shape and condition them to be able to run a 5k in 9 weeks.  NINE WEEKS!!  I attempted this program before, back in 2008 (I think) and made it to week 6.  I think I had to repeat a week or two in there, so it probably took me about 8 weeks to get to week 6.  Anyway, week 6 was BRUTAL for me and I gave up. :(  I hate that I was a quitter!  So this time, I have to finish!  Y'all need to hold me accountable!  Ask me how it's going so I either have to hang my head in shame or I can proudly report I'm still doing it.

That's about it for today.  Some cool stuff coming up in Digi land...can't wait to share.
