Got Chutzpah? And a Happy New Year!

Yeah...mom says I have chutzpah (courage and guts).

"Look at your mid section!" she said this morning.  After my second   

15 miler this week. Thank you Phyllis for meeting me in Wakefield to help me through a long run!

I came back to my parents house as mom and I needed to get ready to have lunch with a dear friend.  

Also, I have to show off my new Handful bra...."You're a handful alright," mom continues. Oh mum!! These bras are made in America and handled with love for "the girls".  No matter how little my "girls" are,  I'm so happy there's a company out there that thinks of us!

Got all my lipstick together; new ones and threw away some old ones. Sephora had a sale and you guys know, NO MAKE UP....JUST LIPS!!!

So here the newbies, but I must say, I'm liking the Brooks Pureconnect better. Still, I'm training in my Mizunos, because those are the ones I'll wear for the Chicago Marathon (5 WEEKS AWAY!!).

AND, was I brave gal to buy a Lululemon ruffled tushie skirt?? Yeeessssss. Doesn't look as bad as I thought, but I felt I needed to take a chance as I love yellow!

Look what Nancy found? A bit of silliness at the Newburyport 10 miler in July. The pic went to her daughter Emma, whom I am an honorary Auntie to. I'll see them at the end of the month at the ZOOMA Cape Cod Half Marathon.

Finally, it's a New Year that I celebrate with "my tribe".  Every year, I pray for forgiveness, pray for love, pray to do the right thing and make good choices, pray that GOD will put my name in the Book of Life (I think I'm pretty much scripted in it already:)...hahahaha)!

I make mistakes, do my best to fix them, bring happiness and kindness to others, be charitable, be a good daughter, friend, sister, teacher, mentor, etc.

I am enough....here's to life, love, happiness, new friends, old friends, and family and a successful school year - 2013-2014!
