Lots of baking, NUUN ambassador

c Happy first day of winter!!!!

And for my fellow runners

I miss the snow from Pennsylvania, it makes Christmas more fun, just my opinion.  It would be perfect if it snowed from December 21-December 26. That would be just perfect.

Baking was in full swing until the heating element melted, so bummed I was so close to being done, now I have to wait to tomorrow afternoon.  Mind you I have to mail these to family. So far I have made:

  Chocolate chip normal/chocolate white chocolate chips

  Mexican wedding cookies

  Ginger cookies aka "crack cookies"

  Almond sugar cookies

  White chocolate covered pretzel sticks

  Oreo balls

  Peanut brittle 

  Reindeer munch

I have to make vanilla crescents, Italian anise cookies, pfefferneuse and that should be enough!!!!

I was selected by NUUN to be an ambassador. Which basically means I endorse and promote their product and I get free stuff.  I was really praying for this to happen, because I drink LOTS of NUUN. 

This week has been a great week for running, I have surpassed my fifty mile a week goal, by twelve miles.  I am starting to feel confident again, I had seriously doubted if I would ever get back to where I was.  It has not been easy, lots of tears, lots of pain and a lot of kicking my own ass.

I donated so much lately and it makes me feel so good to do it.  First I donated my hair to locks of love, took two bags of puzzles and personal hygiene items to the VA hospital (mental ward)  and last stop was Goodwill with various items.  It makes my heart sparkle when I do nice things. 

Have a great first day of winter!!!!

Do you bake around the holidays? Or all the time?  I bake all the time

How to you donate items?  I do it all the time

Are you ready for Christmas?

Always up to try something new

They opened a new workout facility called Orangetheory, close to where I live.  They are offering a free visit so I am going to give it a try.  I don't really do too much strength training, I do abs and pull-ups at home.  Today is a run day.  If I complete my three hour run, I am going to treat myself to a Starbucks in the red cup.

Have you smelled this?  OMG I tried some on and had to go back to buy it x 2. I always feel like I have to have extras of everything. I feel like as soon as I find something I like, it is taken off the shelf.  Fresh brand, brown sugar scent.

HATE HATE HATE the cold. I left Pennsylvania because of the cold and now it is here, dread winter.  I would be fine if it snowed on Thanksgiving and Christmas, and then warmed up.

My new favorite show just finished season two, now I have to wait until June for season three, kinda bummed.  I don't watch a lot of tv because I am always busy.
