a note about the Princess Half marathon

Dear Princesses (and a few Princes!)

Thank you for your interest in running for FREEDOM!  I've been blown away, again!, by how quickly our community says "yes, God! I will do that!"

We will provide a way for you to join us for the Disney Princess Half Marathon posted on our JOY site by September 1. Natalie Grant's organization, Abolition International, is finalizing details and paperwork with Disney. We want to be able to register as a Team. Natalie and I have been planning this for the last several weeks and have been so eager to tell you!! AND, we wanted you to have plenty of time to start training! 13.1 miles is not easy to run, but if you begin your training now, you can do it! The Princess Half Marathon is Sunday, February 26, 2012 at Walt Disney World.

So, lace up! And let's run for the ones who aren't free to .... YET!

Happy "SEE YOU" Day!! (well, it was actually yesterday), but we celebrated with Josh today!) Woohoo!! This is the lamest picture EVER! but the boys loved it, so I was out-voted 3-1. Josh included. :)

OK, so I had a Lucy moment over the weekend. Surprise. Surprise. Sadly, it was because I tried to give my dentist medical advice standing in the grocery line at Publix. Only me! Go ahead and laugh. I did! for a couple of hours! But...now we all know the difference between plantar fasciitis and verruca plantaris, also known as plantar warts.

Hear the story HERE.

But here's the back story .... I have struggled with plantar warts for about a year or so. Sorry, if that's TMI. But it's true. Someone told me to take 10,000 IU's of Vitamin A every day, and it would take care of it! Well, it is TRUE!! I've been taking Vitamin A religiously since November 1st, and I now my sole of my foot is back to it's pretty ol' self!

The phones have been ringing off the hook, and my email is FULL of people asking me exactly what I took. So I decided to post a pic of the bottle. :) You can get this at any health food or drug store.

2.1.11

trying my best to do a "pic of the day".... but perhaps better described as "pic as often as I can, and trying to do better!" ha! At any rate ... I don't have a pic for today, so I decided to post one that I like from last year. So...Merry Christmas, uh, er.... I mean "Happy Groundhog Day!"
