In the Meantime

by Lauren on January 16, 2010

Happy Saturday to everyone! I wanted to thank everyone for their kind words and all the great advice and support. It really means a lot to me. I hope you are all having a great weekend. I am getting through and learning how to walk on crutches.

It’s a lot harder than I thought! I woke up with terrible bruises under my arms and on my hands. Not fun! But I’m learning different tricks to making it easier-like using a backpack! At least the booty keeps my foot warm.

And there is this cool little ball you can pump air into to make it tighter. That is pretty neat.

In the meantime I will post something a bit fun. I received the Beautiful Blogger Award a few weeks ago from Vee over at Vee Chats and have been so consumed with my ankle that I completely forgot to post about it. Thanks Vee for the Award. I guess I’m supposed to post 7 things you would not normally know about me, and then send the award over to 7 other Beautiful Bloggers. So here goes nothing….

1. My 2 favorite TV series of all time are FRIENDS, and SEX AND THE CITY.
2. I drove a GOOD HUMOR ice cream truck in Ocean City, MD for a summer.
3. My favorite color for about 24 years was pink, but I have recently moved on.
4. I was in the sorority Phi Mu in college (Elon University).
5. I like going out every once in a while, but I really love a cozy night in with a good movie and take out. What can I say-I’m a homebody.
6. My favorite movies are Dirty Dancing, Love Actually, and Julie and Julia.
7. I’m an extremely organized person and like things to be neat and clean. I’m a little OCD about this, but it’s just my personality.

So there it is-7 more things (after learning about these 7 things) that you didn’t know about me. I hope you enjoyed.

I wanted to pass this award on to everyone because I think you are all beautiful, but I kept it to just 7. These 7 girls inspire me in so many ways, and I love reading their blogs everyday. They encourage me to be the healthiest and happiest person I can be.

Thank you for all the great reading material!

On another note-I would like to thank everyone especially my boyfriend and family for supporting me through everything I am going through. The boyfriend surprised me with these yesterday!


Aren’t they pretty? I think so. I plan to re-do my marathon training schedule into a upper body training schedule tonight and to get started on a new workout plan ASAP. I hope you all have lovely weekends!
