Hey there, Friends...
I am happy to report that I lasted 20 minutes on the elliptical today! Now, I'm not gonna lie.....I figured out how to go slooooower so that I didn't DIE right there on the machine and that is largely why I was able to last so long. When I first started out, I was going so fast that I wasn't sure which was going to fall off first, my calves or my thighs! SO, I dialed down the turbo speed I was pumping out and decided to maybe work on staying on longer before I focus on staying on longer AND going at a break-neck speed at the same time. We'll see how it goes. The main thing is I got my heart rate up and I sweated!! Both, very good things. :)
All right, so I promise not to do this to you every day, but you're never gonna believe what the Verse of the Day is over at biblegateway.com today.....
Isaiah 40:31
"but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."
I'm starting to think God might be trying to tell me something..... *wink*
In other news, I got to go have lunch today with Lori Craig and I am so glad! I met Lori at CHA Summer last year and we've since discovered that she lives less than 2 hours away from me! So I was so touched when she asked me to go to lunch with her today.....such a dear, she is. We went to Oklahoma Joe's BBQ (remember - that's where we took our Aussie friends), had a yummy lunch and a great chat. Thanks again, Lori.....we'll have to do it again! Can't wait to see you at CHA next month!
So anywho, let's talk about cards, shall we?! I got to play along with Kristina Werner's color challenge tonight and I'm glad I did. I just looooove those adorable shoes, don't you??
It's a super simple card (cause the mojo just isn't flowing so much tonight) but I like how it turned out. I had a scrap of really rust card stock laying around, already cut out in half of the top note die shape so I used that, added some stitching, ribbon, buttons and used my apron lace punch again. Easy peasy! The sentiment is from the new Vintage Picnic Sentiments set.
Back tomorrow, Peeps.....sleep tight!
