>> This week started with a visit to the Athletic Trainer (perk of being a football wife–thank you so much to the Campbell Staff for seeing me) and the husband getting rear ended in a hit and run accident.  I’ll admit it.  I might have pulled out the bottle of Jack (Daniels, my friends) after that day.

>>What a difference a week makes, huh?  Last week I was excitedly sharing with you how my body was changing thanks to running.  Yeah, it’s changing alright.  But this wasn’t exactly what I had in mind! haha.  After my visit with the AT on Monday, I had an appointment set for Xrays today.

The good news is I finished the c25k program!  I completed it with a 30 (well, sort of 30+ because I was determined to get at least somewhat CLOSE to 3 miles–let’s face it…homegirl is a slowpoke) minute run on Sunday.  I felt great except for my foot which has been nagging me for weeks.  Yeah, well.  Myra, I can hear you yelling all the way from halfway across the world.  I’m plugging my ears singing “lalala.” Love you, gush.  Stupid stress fracture.  This would happen to me.  Netflix is a much safer activity.  I kid. Sort of.

>> Okay, Jennie?  You still have that glitter cannon, right?  Because I’m going to need you to fire it now.  THE REWRITES ARE COMPLETE.  It’s hard to say that because I don’t know if I’ll ever actually feel “done,” but it’s time to step away now and let the world at it.  Meeting with my old dear friend Sarah on Saturday morning and it’s out of my hands!  ::runs and hides in corner::  ::okay, maybe limps::

>> Orly Preamp, Sally Hansen xtreme wear White On,  Sinful colors Daddy’s girl (Flowers) and Pure Ice Beware.

Let’s just hope next week is a lot less dramatic!

  14. *aims glitter cannon*

    *lights fuse*

    *runs away*

    KABOOM!!!!!

    YAYAYAYAY!!! Congrats on finishing!! It's the best feeling ever!!! Err…until you start to think about what your betas will say, that is, but that's a worry for another day! 😉

    But the air boot…I feel you, girl. They're the pits. But WAY better than a cast because at least you can (carefully) take it off to shower. And AS IF that happened after you'd finally finished your rewrites! BOO TIMES ONE KAZILLION! I hope that you were still able to celebrate! Wait. Of course you were still able to celebrate. One doesn't need to stand in order to drink champagne. 😉

    And the nails. THE NAILS. I don't even know what to say except for they're perfect and gorgeous and I can't handle it. Purple flowers with a sparkle centre? YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. The pink on your other nails is an awesome contrast. You killed this one, Joey!
