A Vlog, Brief Book Talk, and Happy Hour Follow-up!

This is really just a follow-up to my last post about creating my own happy hour and sunshine experience despite the gloom here in Portland and lack of babysitters.  Now it is the next day and the computers on on but going right back off in a bit!   Plus the SUNSHINE is out and yes, wait for it.....WE HAVE BLUE SKIES!!

I thought that I'd try out a VLOG for a change. It was last night and after two glasses of wine...you can see that in my eyes.  Quick gist of it for those of you that don't want to watch four minutes of Amanda talk to you while just sitting and doing no tricks of any kind:

  1. Here's what happened and didn't happen according to my hot happy hour date plans.  
  2. Born to Run...must read!  Ann Trason is a bad ass!  Inspired by the book.  Keep reading if you can't get into it.  I was the same way.  Inspired my husband to fall in love with running.  He is now officially calling himself a "Runner".  Yes!  Perfect sport to share as a married couple.  
  3. Then just some no make-up, no hot dress, but wine-induced happy hour blah blah blahing.  Some will watch and some won't but whatever. 
  4. Announcement of our race on Monday (very end of video at 3:46 or so).  Not sure exactly why I wasn't telling everyone until now. A mixed-bag of reasons there. Probably mostly because I had to make this decision for myself and I didn't want a ton of naysayers, Opinionated Penelopes (what, who is opinionated Penelope?), and people giving me reasons they they think I might be doing it.  I had to make the best decision for ME.  And I think I did.  It is for fun.  No pressure.  And my husband will be running it with me!  Yep, and not trained specifically.  It was that dang Born To Run book.  I tell you all about it.
