A Good Sport

February 3, 2011 | Uncategorized

 **check out my FAQ page, I added to it!

BBRRR! It’s cold here today! We may get snow later on this afternoon, and the interstate was closed earlier today due to ice on the roads causing accidents. Great fun! Remember, this is south  Louisiana. Crazy! Well, the cold actually started yesterday, and boy did I experience it! If you read yesterdays post, you know I was scheduled to do a photo shoot outside, in the cold, on the lakefront, wearing a tank top and capri pants. awesome.

I met the photographer at the lakefront, and my car said it was 36 degrees. It was also really windy! I reluctantly shed my jacket, and we went to work. I joked with him that I should have worn my garmin, because I must have run at LEAST a mile if not more. Bigger motions look better on camera, so I had to sprint towards and past the camera probably 15-20 times. Let’s just say I am REALLY sore today! We also did some portrait shots of me just standing still, but the majority of them were running shots. I cannot WAIT to see them! Out of all the ones he took, I hope he got some good ones! (He had to change memory cards midway through the shoot. I had a great time despite the cold. I am a ham and don’t get shy in front of the camera. Let’s just hope I don’t look spastic in all of them or like I am in agony running!

About midway through the shoot, I realized I couldn’t feel my hands! I looked down and they were bright red. I had a hard time opening and closing them and couldn’t grip anything. It took me HOURS after to warm up, but it was pretty comical. I really had fun and hope I get to do it again sometime for some other magazine! Before I left the photographer thanked me for being a good sport.

This is what I froze to death in at the lakefront:

I will let yall know when I see any pictures! I may go work on my accent vlog today for tomorrow’s post. FUN!

QOTD: Do you like cold weather? Or are you a warm temp gal like me?

    Congrats! What an exciting opportunity and claim to fame! I do envy the fact that you have been able to run outside because living in New England, we have about 7 feet of snow outside and it is about 10 degrees out! I have been a slave to my treadmil in my basement! I can’t wait for Spring!
    Congrats and share the article and pictures when published!

    Eww, I hate cold weather. Bring on spring! Be careful in the snow!

    I’m surprised you didn’t wear a running skirt. Was it because of the weather?

    • Heather says

      February 3, 2011 at 2:41 pm

      no, the guy said tight clothes photograph better, and to wear spandex type things esp since it was really windy. Plus, I didnt want to confuse ppl into thinking I was a tennis player.

    I prefer warm temperature over cold but my ideal is the in-between when its just cool enough to need a sweater.

If you haven’t been to either, add them to your list! Dollywood has tons of great rides and shows (we are season pass holders so go often!) and Downtown Flavortown has amazing food, an arcade and duck pin bowling. They were kind enough to have us come visit and eat with them. 

Are you going anywhere fun this summer?

We spent a few days at Natchez Trace (part of @thousandtrails), and it was exactly what we needed—peaceful, fun, and full of charm. #100daysofcamping

✨ Lake strolls
⛳️ Mini golf showdowns
🏀 Basketball games
🔥 Campfire s’mores
🦆 duck feeding

😎 90’s summer loading….. If you grew up in 😎 90’s summer loading…..

If you grew up in the 90’s like me, you know we had THE BEST summers. They were simple, but magical. Yes sometimes we got bored and fought with our friends, but the freedom and fun was so memorable. 

In today’s world of screen time and filling every second of the day with “fun” for our kids so they never have to be bored, it makes me sad that they won’t experience what we did. So I am trying to recreate a 90’s summer the best way I can.

Will we still travel? Of course, it’s my job. But when we are home, I’m not filling every second with fun. I’m making her figure it out. Read a book. Do some chores. Then just…go. Play. Be a ten year old while I work. Then in the evenings we can play some more, together, while I tell stories of all the crazy and fun things I did as a kid during those special 90’s summers. ☀️ 🩷
