all I want to do....

It is snowing outside here in Salt Lake.  And it makes me think about shopping.  Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I have not shopped in awhile.  All I want to do is shop!  And I promise you, as soon as I have a job again - one of these coats will be in  my closet.

I have been thinking about this one for months!  Plus, I need a new leather coat.

This color looks really awesome on me.  And I like the buttons.

Which one should I get?

Zion's in the fall.

While in southern Utah for my half marathon, we didn't pass up a chance to go to Zion National Park.  Check out the fall colors against the red rock....so beautiful!

the results.....

Well.  I did it.  I completed my first half marathon.  AND.  I did it within my time goal.  Under 2 hours.  My official time: 1:56:26.7

Before the start.

About mile 10....still going strong!

Would you believe I can't wait until the next one?!?

I am running my FIRST half marathon this weekend.  Saturday to be exact...and....I am excited!  Can you believe that?

During my unemployment this year I have constantly been trying to come up with different ways to make money.  I recently came across this company on facebook and thought they have a pretty clever idea for creating exceptional interior design within the current economic situation. 

Check out the idea behind the pictures here.

Not to mention, they have a pretty nice portfolio.....here's a sneak peak:

here is an inspirational quote of the day for you to ponder, because i need it today....

'We are what we repeatedly do.  Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit.'
