Facebook Scores Me Ski Attire

/

Facebook hooked a girl up. I put out a post that I was going on a ski-trip and had nothing to wear. Perhaps, maybe, someone could loan me some ski clothes?

I have clothes offers coming out of the woodwork. I don't know what Blair is going to do - ski in thermal underwear for all I know - but girlfriend here is going to be stylin'. I've got 2 ski jackets (one dressy, one casual), 4 pairs of ski pants (for cold and warm weather), one bib overall thing for REALLY cold weather, base layers, neck warmer and gloves. 

I'm never buying clothes again. Formal dinner? I'm putting a post on FB for evening wear. Beach trip? Who has a beach umbrella I can borrow? 

I feel I should offer something in return but all I really have to offer are way too many running clothes and two full length formal gowns from a cruise we took years ago. Oh--and I think I may still have the hoop skirt I wore under my wedding dress because you just know those things are going to come back in style again someday. 

Got a Gone With The Wind party to attend? Facebook me. I'm your girl. 

Cheers,

Dena

Beauty In A Bag or, "I Don't Come Cheap"

The "stuff" separated by category - bathing, hair, make-up, etc. $650. That's approximately how much it costs me to greet the day if you add up each and every one of the products I use. From Aveda shampoo to Bare Minerals make-up, my Chi hair dryer to my BaByBliss Pro Titanium flat iron, q-tips to toothpaste and shower gel to hand lotion... Add it all up it and it totals just about $650.00. 

Want to know how I know this?

Virginia Beach 1/2 Marathon - Confidence Builder

/

The men of the VA Beach 1/2 MarathonThis weekend Blair and I and three other fun-loving runner couples packed up the Garmins and running shoes and ventured to VA Beach for the VA Beach Rock 'n' Roll 1/2 Marathon. 

In a word, FUN. Flat, fast course, great crowd support, and at the end of the race they handed out towels dipped in ice-water and rocket pops. Plus, I got to run the race with friends. Does it get any better?

Actually, yes, it does.
