A Week of Firsts

Man, am I glad it’s Thursday night. I’m so looking forward to the weekend – it means I get to see my favorite boy soon! It’s getting harder and harder every day for me now. Not that I’m not enjoying my alone time with J, I am, I mean, we even went out to dinner on a weeknight – we’re 2 wild and crazy kids, I tell ya!! But I sure miss my boy. The weekend can’t get here soon enough.

So since I had some extra time on my hands this week, it ended up being a week of firsts!

My first organized bike ride:

My first time painting stripes (and probably my last since they’re a pain!):

My first time having electrodes attached to my ankle (or any other part of my body):

J always calls me the bionic woman. Hmmmm……maybe he’s on to something?

And my first time contacting a company about a giveaway:

I never thought I would actually contact anyone about providing a product to review or give away. But I really wanted to play up the silly mistake I made with tweeting I am a Marathong Maniac, and promote a product I truly believe in at the same time. Win win!

But I’m sure all you guys want to know is who won the awesome prize pack:

Amanda (who is one of my fellow Fitfluential ambassadors)!!

Congrats! Email me your address and I’ll get these awesome chaffing prevention products out to you asap. :)

Have a great weekend everyone! Do you have anything exciting (or not exciting) planned? J and I are doing our second organized ride on Saturday morning, I have a shopping date with my BFF Saturday afternoon, and I get to pick up C on Sunday!!!!!! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

    You and Kimi are some stripe-painting fools! Looks great! I love to paint, but I’m pretty sure stripes would stress me out like whoa!

    Fab week my friend! The stripes are rockin’. I hope you and Jay have fun tomorrow morning, I’ll be thinking of you… and don’t crash like I did!

    Have a great weekend, especially with C! My weekend plans include concert going (Toby Keith), running (Shot in the Dark), and of course EATING (Taste of Tremont)!

    Great stripes!

    Weekend includes: celebrating a good friend’s birthday tonight, Veggie U’s event tomorrow, and Taste of Tremont on Sunday. A pretty good one, if I do say so myself!

    Great blog. It’s always fun to try some new things to spruce up life!

    I had the electrodes thing done on my arm and hand a few years ago. It was weird and I was not a fan at all. I have friends in from out of town that I get to see tonight so we are heading to presque isle, their choice not mine since I don’t gamble. Saturday is the shot in the dark race and probably drinking afterwards and then Sunday I am hoping ot kayaking, watch soccer, possibly hit up taste of tremont and hopefully see harry potter. I am tired thinking about this weekend now.
