What an awesome day!

I am sitting here with coconut oil slathered in my hair, patiently waiting for the next half hour to pass, hoping I will emerge with beautiful, revitalized hair.  I hate to say it, but I'm already second-guessing the idea of growing out my hair.  I found this cure on Pinterest, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.  Of course, I had to buy the two gallon jugs of it I found on sale at Amazon, so if this doesn't work, I'll be searching out some new uses for coconut oil.

This has been such a pleasant and productive Saturday!  I started out with my boys' soccer game this morning at 8:30 (and yes, Facebook friends, I know I was complaining about it then, but it was a gorgeous day and we didn't lose!!!).  Then I went shopping at the mall and found some really cute new clothes and these awesome blinged out jeans...they fit great, but I'm not sure how the bling will go over when I actually wear them! 

I lunched at Panera and got some grading done, then hit Starbucks on the way home for my favorite Green Tea Lemonade.  The sun was shining and a beautiful breeze beckoned me outside for a run, so I put on some Linkin Park and hit the road--for 4.2 miles!  That's the most I've ever run alone, so I'm feeling good!  The great thing about running is that when I'm done, I have no interest in putting junk food into my body because it would negate the calories I just burned.  So I'm sitting here, enjoying some ice cold water, waiting for my hair to finish cooking, and I came up with a few more goals.

#23 log my food and exercise on My Fitness Pal - I got the app last year, and it really helped me hold myself accountable for what I ate and did throughout the week.  When the evil temptation of a donut threatens to crash my healthy eating, a visual reminder of how bad they are keeps me on my path.  That certainly does not mean I will deprive myself on Friday Jean & Donut Day at school, though! 

#24 attempt some of the sewing projects I pinned on Pinterest - I bought a sewing machine at a garage sale this summer to make these wonderful crafts and gifts...and haven't touched it since.  I used to sew in 4-H; it's like riding a bicycle, right?

#25 be more punctual with my plays on Words with Friends - In my determination to find the best word, I know that I hold up the game and annoy my friends. 

Well, my half hour is up.  Hopefully when I see you all next, my hair will have a healthy glow!
