Pat's Run
This past weekend, me and some of my friends (and sisters) participated in the Pat Tillman run at ASU.
We all started in different spurts, my sister starting ahead of me. Then, guess who gets air time on Good Morning America?? MY SISTER!!!!
The one time I don't run with her (other than the Mud Run), is the time she gets on national television!! I was so bummed.
Watch her here:

Mom's Birthday on Coronado Island
Our girls trip to Cali first started with fun travel bags, made especially for us. Mine consisted of flips-flops, a tank top, nail polish, nail filer, the DVD Juno and sunglasses. All came in a darling tote inscribed ‘Once a joy always a joy’, LOL. Thanks, Mom! How thoughtful.
We got in A LOT of sun, drinks (too many), laughs, talks and shopping! Oh, and lots of yogurt land.
We also came equipped with our MSU gear to watch the game with our cousin (and MSU alum), Adam and his girl, Andrea, in San Diego. They beat UCONN but didn’t rise up in the championship on Monday night. So sad.
Happy Birthday, mom! Hope you had a fabulous weekend with us!

Newly a Vegetarian
If you haven’t read Skinny Bitch, I highly recommend you do. It changed my universe.
No longer will I eat pork or beef.
It may be a little outdated, but it reinforces that, we are what we eat. Plain and simple. And to be skinny, you first got to get healthy.
After reading, you may be motivated to give up meat, diet soda, dairy, cigarettes, sugars, and alcohol. But me, I’m taking baby steps. Thought I’d start by giving up pig and cow (they’re inhumanely murdered by the big farm factories), diet Dr. Pepper and some dairy. If anything, I’m going to pay closer attention to ingredients and eat more organically, then slowly refrain from chicken as well (they're so unsanitary).
It’s been 4 days, and I’m doing okay. It’s all mental right now. When I saw the pig slashing videos and stories (cows, too), I kept thinking about Lucy (she has a hair cut right now that makes her look like a little piggie). Went to Fresh & Easy, picked up some nuts and dried fruit, and am eating more greens, drinking more water… Taking it day by day with better food intake (and hopefully a better digestive system!)and am already feeling better about my life.
Here are some new sites I’ve been on. There’s even a FREE 30-day vegetarian starter kit (which I’ve ordered)!
www.goveg.com, www.vegcooking.com
AND, just saw that one of my favorite actresses, Cloris Leachman, posed for a PeTA ad! I also think she would be PERFECT as Stephanie Plum’s Grandma Mazur (if they ever made a movie or TV show of the books)! She's probably 82 and going strong BECAUSE she's a vegetarian!

Crazy for Coupons
Not sure why, but lately I’ve been obsessing over saving money on everything and ANYTHING. I won’t buy something I WANT unless there is some kind of sale, discount, coupon or $ off it, excluding Ross, Nordstrom Rack and Harkins. Ross and the Rack just have great prices on designer stuff, so... hard to ignore. And Harkins, well, I’m a movie freak but recently I found out that Rob gets tickets at discount through Banner so I can now add Harkins to my coupon frenzy. Wish Target had some kind of coupon/reward program.
Came across some great sites lately where I print coupons of all sorts:
www.Save.com
www.Coupons.com
www.eClip.com
www.Boodle.com
Saving $.75 here or a $1.50 there really adds up. I think right now if I can save SOMETHING on every purchase, I’ll save more in my savings account in the long run. And I love NY & CO. They send me coupons every day. And now Hautelook.com lets me know via email of sales on clothes, jewelry, watches, etc. There's also Shop It To Me, your very own online personal shopper who gives you the best deals! Right now, it’s all about sales, and I mean GOOD sales. No use buying anything if you can’t get money off it somehow or it at the cheapest price possible.
Happy shopping!

Check out Florida Commerce CU’s WeLiveFit! Challenge:
This type of marketing would be SO much fun to be a part of. It truly shows that Florida Commerce CU cares about their member’s financial health and is willing to reward them with cash for reaching their financial goals.
Visit their awesome microsite here. Their ‘webisodes’ (or Reality TV-type episodes available online) are going to be a success, I just know it. How rad would it be to be a family on this challenge?!!! PRETTY RAD if you ask me.
Brilliant, just brilliant. WAY more brilliant than Summit CU's Project Money so far…
...although, both have an idea that is bound to resonate well with their members and differentiate them from other financial institutions in their markets.
I look forward to tuning in to Florida Commerce's webisodes, even if I'm states away, LOL.
