giveaway!

Hello friends. I love sharing awesome giveaway finds with ya'll. I have to share this one with you!
Magan from A Touch of Class reached 100 followers!! Wahoo for her! I'm creeping up there, slowly but surely! I'm pretty excited for her!
In honor of the accomplishment, she is having an awesome giveaway. I highly suggest you go check it out. While you're there, poke around her blog, it's one of my favorites!

lucky ducky!!

After I won the SUAR giveaway I entered and then won another one!!! This time it was from Amy at Pumpkin to Princess. She gave away a GU sampler pack. I was just as excited about this as I was about the shirt.
After hearing all of the fueling options out there I was more than a little over whelmed. I started tasting a few things and using them for my longer runs/workouts, but I still hadn't found anything I loved. I tried nuun tablets and I really liked their tri-berry flavor, but not the lemon-lime one so much. I felt like they helped me during workouts, but since they are low calorie, they weren't a good fueling solution. I was thrilled to get this big pack of GU products to try! These are the goodies I got:

I am so excited to try each and every one of these things out. I'll post about how much I love them as I try 'em!!

So way back in October Beth of SUAR held a giveaway with Family Fan Club and I was super lucky and I won! The giveaway was for a shut up and run shirt, one of the family fan club designs, or a custom shirt. Immediately entered in every way possible. Earlier that week I was showing Mike the Family Fan Club website and telling him how I needed a custom shirt for the Princess Half. I wanted a shirt that said "no day but today." I'm kind of a huge RENT fan and I try to live with that thought always in the back of my mind. Then I found out that I won and I think I did a happy dance right in my kitchen! I was home alone and I was shaking my booty and hopping and dancing around. I was super stoked!
After talking to Beth and Paul of Family Fan Club a bit I made up a design for the shirt. It says no day but today on the front and then it has my blog url on the back. When it came in the mail, I was blown away. It came out even better than I could have imagined.

I love it! I'm wearing a real bra and pajama pants, but I still LOVE the
shirt.

So in love with this shirt.

I really just posted a picture of my tush on my blog.

The shirt is awesome. It's thin and the printing is fantastic. I completely love it! I cannot wait to wear it. I'll be giving it a test ride at the gym today!

I seriously recommend working with Paul and the crew at Family Fan Club. They were incredibly helpful and wonderful!!

so...it snowed...

Before I get to my weekend plans, I have to scream from the rooftop here that I won the free custom shirt from Beth's giveaway over at Shut Up and Run!!!! I get the choice of a SUAR shirt, any shirt from the Family Fan Club website, or a custom shirt with any text or image I want. There are too many choices!! I can't decide. I'll have to make that decision today though...oye!

So it snowed...In fact we had record breaking snowfall! We had tons of warning, so we were able to be completely prepared. My sister and her husband came over to hang out during the storm. We played lots of games, baked some cookies and watched inch after inch of snowfall. 

We really watched in almost disbelief. The last time we had big snowfall in October was back in 1987! Actually it was 10/4/87 and I know this because it was my Aunt Betty and Uncle Mike's wedding day. It was just as bad as this storm, dumping about 10" of snow. This weekend's storm dumped 14" on my house. We had a blast watching the snow pile up.

Snow falling. This was like 45 minutes into it starting. It stuck immediately
which they did not forecast. We were supposed to start as rain

Like I said, about 45 minutes in. This snow was dense and HEAVY.

It was snowing like craaaaaazy.

My driveway at sunrise. I love my plow guys.

Measuring in the middle of my front yard. 14 inches!!!

My driveway is a beast. 300 feet up....LOVE the plow guys!!
