My 28th birthday is in 15 days, which gives me the perfect excuse to put together a small list of things I’m lusting after! A giant box arrived at our house yesterday, which Justin has made very clear I am not allowed to open. I’d pee my pants if it contained either of the following :)

 

 

Silhouette Cameo Electronic Cutting Tool - I want this so bad. I can’t even explain it.

iMac - I could do so many things with one of these :)

 Since those are pretty unrealistic, though, I’d also be pretty excited about this:

Harry Potter: The Complete 8-Film Collection – I have copies of most of the movies, but I want the full set!

 If you could receive anything for your birthday, what would it be?

There was so much awesome on the Internet this week!

Ez was inspired by Jess and created a movement, which I also joined in on!

My IRL friend Tracy hit a huge milestone on her weightloss journey, and I’m so proud of her!

Michelle posted a recipe for Strawberry Short(cup)Cakes that I’m dying to try!

Jennie made a list of things she’ll never be! I think I’ll create my own next week.

Kira guest-posted for Isa about finding your blogging voice. I’m still working on that myself, and found it very interesting!

Kira also wrote some good ideas for getting over blogger’s block!

Amy wrote an awesome post on how to support a friend who’s losing weight!

Any fun plans for the weekend? I’ll be putting together wedding invites (yes, I’m about a month behind on this) and spending time with my mom for Mother’s Day!

13.1 Miles – Runners of Steel

May 8, 2012

Scratch another one off the life list, we did it! Justin and I ran and finished the Pittsburgh Half-Marathon! (This is why Jut’s family calls me a ”smidget”) In the days leading up to the race, I started to get really nervous and anxty about it. I even got teary-eyed in the parking garage before the race, because I’m [...]

How I lowered my cholesterol, the hard way

May 7, 2012

Some of you may know the background on this, but many of you don’t, so I’m going to start at the beginning. In November 2007, I went to the dentist, and the hygenist asked me if I had diabetes, or if I had ever been tested for it. Um what? No? Why would a dentist [...]

Cook’s Forest

May 1, 2012

The weekend before last, we went on a little camping trip with Justin’s siblings and families. We headed up to Cook’s Forest from Friday to Sunday, and had such a good time away! I will preface this with the fact that I grew up camping every single weekend. With my parents, you slept on the [...]
