Busy busy busy bee

All I can say is the past 2 weeks have complete & utter madness! In addition to a complete flip in my diet I also had an awesome visit from these lovely ladies:

Blogging world meet two of my best friends from high school Erin & Becky! They were so kind to spend 3 days of their spring break with me in central PA!! God Bless them. We had a blast looking at this view that is essentially the backyard of my campus:

Jealous yet? =P

Unfortunately, after they left it was back to the grid iron with me pounding out the papers.

I have become completely behind on my 5K training spring break gave me a set back and the fact that my knees & feet hurt every time I ran was not helping. Luckily I had a running floor-mate down the hall give me some pointers about not pounding pavement & actually rolling my feet on & off the ground. So tomorrow it's back to the gym!

Also tomorrow evening begins the start of my 30 hour famine! In case you need a recap HERE IT IS! World Vision is a great organization so I highly recommend sponsoring me. ;) My donation page looks a little lonely, but I am not discouraged because I've collected quite a bit of money in person. So after tomorrow at 7pm I won't be eating until 1am SUNDAY.  It's going to be interesting, I can tell you that.

That's basically my life for the past two weeks.  Now on to revising the next paper.


Do you have anything awesome going on this weekend? 

Day 2 of Pescetarianism

So, I missed the post yesterday, but yesterday was Ash Wednesday. For those of you who don't know Ash Wednesday is the being of Lent for different branches of Christianity. It's a time to spiritually prepare for Easter. Typically people choose something to abstain from between Ash Wednesday & Easter (which is 40 days, not including sundays). So this year I have chosen to abstain from all Meat from land animals. I will still eat seafood, this makes me a Pescetarian instead of a full-blown vegetarian. Today I went to the grocery store to pick up some pescetarian-friendly food. I know have plenty of seafood & lots of vegetables. It's going to be an interesting 40 days. Enjoy your Lenten decisions!!

30 Hour Famine

On March 25th I will participate in World Vision's 30 Hour Famine which helps raise money for children who go days without food. I am asking for donations to help reach my goal of $350 which will help feed & care for a child for A WHOLE YEAR. Even if you can only donate 1¢ That makes me 1¢ closer to my goal! You can visit my donation page by clicking here Thank you in advance for all of your support!!

Happy March!!

Well it has finally arrived. The month of luck, basketball, green, and Lenten Traditions. This year I will be abstaining from meat (eekk!). This will be hard for me because I L.O.V.E ribs. I will just have to learn to go without and it will make me a better stronger person because of it. =) In addition, this month will be marking half way through my 4th Semester at College! WOOT!!! Essentially, this means I'm almost half through getting my degree! Unfortunately, this also means a TON of work to do, but it also means SPRING BREAK!! WOOT! All in all it will be an exciting month, no doubt about it. =) With a new month also comes a feeling of renewal, it's almost like a mini new years. You get to start all over again. =)


HAPPY MARCH!!!
