The Pack is SUPER BOWL BOUND!!!



I am so excited because the PACK IS GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL!!! The team is the first 6th seed in history to make it all of the way to the Super Bowl! Not to mention how big the game was because of the rivalry that exists between the Packers and the Bears. As soon as the game was over last night, my parents, sister and I ordered NFC Championship gear and other Packer apparel! I cannot wait to cheer them on in the Super Bowl!


I didn't order a jersey yet because I couldn't decide on one but I think this is the one that I want!



GO PACK GO!!!

From the couch to a 5K!

One of my goals has been to become more of a runner. I eventually want to be able to run races. I have a few friends that do and I think that it would be a blast to travel around, visiting new places, spending time with friends and running. However, I'm not a big fan of running...which is a problem. It's not that I mind running, I think its the fact that I feel like I'm going to die when I do. I used to be in pretty good shape. I played sports all throughout high school and didn't do anything active in college. Now I am not even close to being in shape AT ALL! Anyways, I need to set my goals small so my first is to run a 5L. I found this website and it contains a plan called "From the couch to a 5K" which is PERFECT for me considering I'm stuck on the couch at this point! Whenever I aim for my 5K goal I think that I can get up from the couch and run a 5K that day...which is obviously not realistic! This plan breaks it down over 9 weeks. My goal at the end of the training schedule is to run a 5K.

Sooo this got me thinking...if I'm going to start running I'm going to need cute clothes! Cute running clothes will be a motivator for me! Look at the cute stuff I found below! I will be running a 5K in no time...oorr at least looking stylish while I attempt to, right?!?!


I love peace signs!


A nice fleece for when its cold!


Comfy pants!

Now I just need to start! Week 1, here I come!

I'm a Gleek.



We have a snow day today as we have gotten more snow in the past 24 hrs than the state has seen in almost 20 years! Therefore, almost everything is closed and my work just happens to be :) I've thoroughly enjoyed this snow day! I've gotten a chance to get caught up on my TV shows before they all start up again. The fall was so busy that I didn't watch most of them when they aired. One of the shows that I missed was Glee. I adore this show. For one I love a Capella and I love all of the songs that they choose! I can't wait for the new episodes!

Go Pack Go!

Today we are cheering on the Green Bay Packers! I am an avid Packer fan after living in Wisconsin for 10 years. While we lived there my parents had season tickets so it was a way of life! I wish they wouldn't have given them up because it takes about a lifetime (maybe a little less) to get season tickets! Yes a lifetime! There are THAT many people wanting tickets! I recently put myself on the list. I'm looking forward to receiving my letter to see where I stand in line. Anyways, I love the Playoffs or when the Pack plays a team close by because I get to watch it on tv! I hope they pull out a win because if they do, they're off to Atlanta to play the Falcons which means I could go!!! Eeeek!

I have my cheese head ready to go :)I even have a cheese head crown that my mom and dad bought years ago! This is what they look like!

Thirty-One Thursday

In October I became a consultant for Thirty-One Gifts! I love cute bags, monogramming and wanted to meet new people so it sounded like the perfect opportunity! It has been great so far! If you haven't heard about the company you should definitely check it out! The spring/summer catalog is premiering Feb 1st and the patterns are ADORABLE! They make great hostess gifts, wedding party presents, presents for inlaws, baby gifts, etc! Below is a sneak peak of some of the awesome new items!



Also, this month the lunch totes (in small or large) are on special! The large one is only $10 and the small one is only $8. Monogramming is only $1.50 and normally it is $6! A bunch of girls that I work with have these and they are great for bringing your lunch to work! They are thermal lined so they keep your food hot or cold! I know that I'll be getting a few new ones because I'm trying to bring my lunch to work every day rather than eat out. If you are interested in one or seeing any of the other items, shoot me an email!

On Wisconsin...



Today I am cheering on one of my favorite teams, the Wisconsin Badgers as they play TCU in the Rose Bowl! I'm hoping for a Badger victory and by the looks of the website below, the ESPN.com store is already planning on it! They have printed Badger Championship shirts :) I clicked to get one but sadly they had taken the link down :(.
