"As A Blonde" - Selena Gomez
Yesterday.
was. quite. a. day.
what mostly got me through it [besides my rockin' family] was knowing I would get to meet Jess at4:00, 4:15, 4:33.
I swear I'm not usually late.
Jess . . . .
yes. . . . .
she is even [somehow] awesome-R in person. Peanut agreed too.
SO happy Peanut made it . . . . for a whole bunch of reasons. . . . witty humor, candor, stories and of course . . . .
to
take
the
photos.
I swear her tongue could be a stunt double for KISS.
Why is my thumb up? Just a whole lotta love and a little less [rockin'] brain cells?!
So. yes. yes. yes. the FroYo rocked.
But. Jess. She. freaking. rocks.
Happy Friday!

"Help!" - The Beattles
I won't even beg for your donations in this post, promise.
[but you know you can always hit that "d o n a t e" button at any freaking time.]
After weeks of attempting to get a treadmill company on board for this run, I am facing HUGE disappointment. My NordicTrack people stopped communicating and other manufacturers and gyms seem to have all kinds of hoops to jump through. (Remember, I run on a treadmill---don’t jump too great).
A
n
y
w
a
y,
does anyone know of a willing manufacturer, gym or corporation that might want to have their mill on TV, advertised, adored and praised on my 24-hour run?
Anyone want to send emails to companies [cough* NTrack* cough] on my behalf?
I do have some backup mills, but for an endurance run like this I.Want.NEED. Great.Treadmills.
I will need two, because I have people paying to run with me [suckas ;) ]for short, varying lengths of time.
Your help would be greatly appreciated!
