The survival must all be in part to my super Ghost Protocol spy skills I picked up. Great movie! For however long the movie was, I forgot that I think Tom Cruise is a whack-job. He is THAT good of an actor, I guess. This guy is the one that I was curious about and almost forgot that I needed to google him when I got home. Google not ogle. He’s no Will Smith. For sure. He’s ok. The end.
Oh! Guess how my morning started?! I was reading a favorite running blog of mine called Shut Up and Run. Beth, my new BFF (Cuz I asked her if it meant that we were and she said yes. The proof is in the email!) was announcing the giveaway for a sports endurance drink called Zipfizz. So I was reading who the winner was, and I was all like, “Hey the winner spells her name just like me. Weird.” Oh and “Hey, her blog has the same name!” And then I read, “and she’s lost 100 pounds.” And I was all like, “HOLY CRAP that ISSSS me!” Completely excited and mortified at the same time!! Cuz it’s not everyday that someone announces for you to the internet, “This chick used to be fat!” So yeah, that’s me. All lucky and crap. With a new BFF that has encouraged me through her blog that it is fine and dandy to share TMI issues when it relates to running. And even when it doesn’t. Lucky for you that only consists of tinkle triumphs. Like this one. I’ll be sure to tell you all about the Zipfizz when it makes it’s way to my doorstep.
Wrapping up a storm here in the Sandhu house. I always say I won’t wait until the last minute. Haha!! I wet my pants laughing. (See, I told you it doesn't always relate to running.)Maybe next year?
The "Do Stuff" part:
Behold, the snazziest and easiest Christmas decoration I have made in…well, years. I put the crafty side of my multiple personalities away for a long time. It’s BREAKIN’ FREE I tell ya!
I also discovered after making a few of these puppies that olive oil does in-deedy remove spray adhesive and will unstick your thumb from your pointer finger. That or you could wear gloves. I LURV me some glitter. I’d say the shiny stuff and not the movie, but I haven’t seen the movie. And I will never.
Next up on the agenda is a little money/gift card holder that I made for our secret santa exchange at work. Plastered all over the “About me” sheet I received from my coworker was the word Farmville. Hey, whatever floats her farmyard. I couldn’t NOT get her a gift card yet I wanted something to snazz it up a bit. I followed this tutorial that I found on Pinterest. Yes, Pinterest is my new black tar heroine. And don’t be silly, I’ve never touched the stuff. This was rather easy to make…next one will be easier. She got the guinea pig you could say. But very cute, no? Ooooh the ideas to make more!
Laps make the perfect backdrop for small homemade gift items.
After I purchased my first no slip headband, I was all like, “Hey, I could make these.” And so I did. Everyone around me has been getting them for gifts. Girls mainly. With hair…to keep out of their face. And ones that like to work up a sweat. Although, I have worn different versions to work. I even sold my first three headbands. Rather I was coerced into selling them. Basically she said, “I want three and I WILL PAY YOU!” I was way too scared to shout back “NO YOU WILL NOT GIVE ME MONEY!!!” And besides, I’m really not that much of an idiot.
Because laptops might be a better backdrop than laps. I just keep getting better and better!
It’s obvious that the day we call Christmas has come and gone. I’m sincerely hoping that all my friends don’t hate me because I didn’t send out “Merry Christmas” texts nor did I post a thing on Facebook. I moped around a bit because it was my first Christmas without my girls. You should feel sorry for me. HOWEVER THEY DOOOOO COME HOME TODAY!! And we will pretend it’s Christmas day all over again. Complete with monkey bread! And probably less tears on my part.
And now, I need to quit wasting my time with this blog and go shoot up some Pinterest!
i have only pintered (i just made up that verb) twice today. weaning off.
