I have set a  goal for myself.... 3 5K's by the End of September.  To some this may not be a big  deal but for me this is HUGE!   I have always set back and watched people run or walk in 5K's  and wanted to do it but had every excuse in the book. 
    > I have to work on Saturdays
    > I am NOT a runner
    > I do not want to walk while everyone else Runs
    > I haven't trained for it, I will do the next one
    >  Oh shoot they is another one this weekend?  I still haven't trained....Next one!

Well I have realized that I had that "tomorrow"  attitude and that wasn't getting me any where!  I have decided that this is a DREAM of mine and only I can make the changes needed to make it happen!  So  I have started Running,  just a few times a week.  It isn't FUN yet to me and it is work but I do feel GREAT after I run. 
I LOVE the feeling that I have accomplished something,  I can't wait until the day when I can run an entire 5K  with out stopping and walking!

3 might be my goal for this year but I am planning on doing more next year!

Happy jeans shopping

Although I love to go shopping, I hate to go shopping for jeans! After putting it off all winter I decided to go tonight,  I took my husband and off we go.  I was dreading the fact that he would be waiting on me while I am trying jeans on, then I remember one of his favorite stores is in the same strip mall so he went there while I do the dreaded shopping for jeans.

So many cute clothes I could have gone crazy!  But I have a few pairs of jeans in hand and walk over and see jeans for $14.90 a pair. WHAT??? Am I reading this right?  This can't be....

My very cute bubbly sales girls assures me it's true so I grab 3 pair and head to the dressing room, needless to say she had to go get different sizes for me, some bigger some smaller.  Good & Bad...right?  

Is it just me or do those mirrors make everyone look short and stubby? I feel like the room needs to be bigger cause when I am standing 3 feet away that is not far enough away!    I have been in multiple dressing rooms and always think this, makes me feel like I am in a fun house at a amusement park with those crazy mirrors.  But I did like 2 of the jeans I got.  

Ended up with 2 jeans, a shirt, earrings and bracelets,  and got 40% off....so I think it was my night to go get jeans....and a few other things! 

Happy jeans shopping y'all
