Coming Up

February 14, 2012 | family, fitness, running, Running Skirts, Uncategorized

 

Morning friends! Happy Valentine’s Day! Bobby bought me a piece of furniture that goes with our bedroom set for Valentine’s day. It’s a media chest and it’s so pretty! I will have to take pictures and show you.

I decided to wait and work on my Rouge Orleans recap until I have amazing photos from the lovely Erin, who happened to be on my team and who happens to be a photographer! Trust meโ€ฆher photos are way better than mine and you will like the recap much better, so it will be worth the wait!

In the mean time, you can check out this recap video that Claim Your Journey put together. You can see my shoes (haha) at the 1:53 ish mark, and my team crossing the finish at at 4:30 mark! It gives you a small taste of the race.

——————————————–

There are a LOT of things going down in my life in the next few weeks, so that means there will be a lot going on here on RWS! I am home recuperating the rest of this week (even after 10.5 hours of sleep Sunday night I felt spacey and groggy all day yesterday). This weekend we are headed to my parents house for the weekend forโ€ฆ.a Mardi Gras parade! I am excited to share a bit of my growing up/NOLA area southern culture with you all. Even though I was living with my parents in LA last year at this time, we didnโ€™t end up making it to a parade because Mardi Gras was late and we were moving and it just didnโ€™t work out. But this year, we are going to a parade right outside my parents neighborhood and I will take lots of pictures for you all. King cake MAY be involved.

Who ate all the king cake?!

We are also going to see some family on Sunday so it will be a jam packed weekend.

The next weekend, is the Disney Princess! We are leaving on that Friday morning EALRY and heading to Florida for 4 nights. It will be my mom, me, Karen, and her mom. I am so excited to run this race. I just had my tutu made, and I canโ€™t wait to show yโ€™all my outfit.

Bloggers, donโ€™t forget, meet up on SATURDAY afternoon, details HERE.

We get back from Disney on Tuesday night, and on Wednesday I turn around and go to my parents house and then Thursday Iโ€™m heading to NOLA to work the Running Skirts booth for RnR New Orleans (and Bobby and I are running the half.) I will finally go home on Sunday afternoon. WHEW!

So thatโ€™s last weekend gone, then the next three. At least itโ€™s all for totally fun and exciting things and I canโ€™t wait to recap them all for you.

QOTD: Do you have anything exciting going on the next few weeks? Share!

    You have tons of exciting stuff coming up, I’m so jealous of the Disney run and meet up too, I bet that will be tons of fun to run around the parks and meet other bloggers :). Can’t wait to read about the relay, too, but I don’t blame you to wait on the recap.

    Happy Mardi Gras!

This year I wanted to do something special for my coffee-loving friend โ€” something simple but still thoughtful. I grabbed a Starbucks gift card from Walgreens (they seriously have every kind you can think of, and you can even Buy Online, or Pickup In Store ๐Ÿ™Œ). 

Then I added my own touch: a cute Christmas mug, a candy cane, and a little note. Because the best gifts donโ€™t have to be complicated, they just have to show you care. ๐Ÿ’›
