Garage Sales 4.2.11

Saturday Morning Garage Sales

I didn't buy much considering it was neighborhood wide and I went from 7am till noon...

and the next is my newest project!

***(Its been sanded and painted but still needs some shabbyness)***

And I officially HATE Texas weather, still going for 4.5 miles and I only make it to 4ish.

After running my first half mile I noticed my phone app was frozen on .5 miles

 so I started it up again, back to zero and kept running!

I can't run in 85 degree weather, I get so shaky so I need to just stop trying.

Here's the run....

thanks for reading :) love ya'll!

Cinnamon Sugar Pretzels

I saw Cinnamon Sugar Pretzels today at Aldi's and they looked

delish (price $2.19) so I gave them a try!

Roll out the dough (its precut like cinnamon rolls)

Make them look like pretzels -

hint: they say to start at the top and twist but its easier to lay down the bottom

and make a twist in a "heart" shape.

(that's probably confusing, just start at the bottom!)

Dribble water so the cinnamon sugar sticks

Bake 11-14 min

Ice!

Enjoy!!

and they were SOOOO yummy!

So how did my run go today?

Didn't hit my goal of 4.5 today, but

I'll get there!

Got my costume stuff today with my friend for Warrior Dash

So will post pics after I work on costume!

SQUEAL!



garage sale 3/26/11

Saturday's (that I'm not working) means: garage sales!!

This is what I found last weekend....

Yay so excited about my new stuff :)

And how's training for Warrior Dash been going? Well I ran this

 morning (3/29/11) in the rain!! That's dedication flat out crazy! I hid my

iPhone in my hoodie pocket. And here's todays... (yeah only 1 mile but

I plan to do P90x Video to make up for it! Got to be a rounded athletic person by the dash!)

Magazine Rack

So I went on a trip to Goodwill I saw this little beauty in disguise...

Yes $3.75, I COULDN'T pass it up...

So I set up all my stuff outside, and didn't forget my Sonic drink!

(Ya know they say they have like a million different flavor combinations,

so today I tried a Strawberry Ocean Water & it wasn't too bad!

Next time I'll stick to my Vanilla Diet Dr.Pepper though)

Yes... I do sand with a gardening glove, the sandpaper gets hot on my fingers!

So here's the "after" 2 good coats of OOPS paint left over from the mirror project 

and as you can see it's pretty cute!

But of course I thought it needed a little damage shabby chic look.

With a few scrapbooks and western ducks!

And today's (Tuesday 1/22/11) run... 4.04 miles in 55 minutes and 52 seconds!

I'm training for this really cool race called Warrior Dash! Where I'm going to dress up in a Warrior outfit and run through mud, over fire, up and over hay bales, anyways its 12 crazy obstacles over 3.2 miles!

 It was 85 degrees out there today and I found a neighborhood with a killer hill, but I made it :)

*Note, I am not a runner, if I did this ANYONE can, just start small :)
