An old door to fill in a "blank wall"

Yes I'm a little embarrassed to admit
I did get an old door out of the trash.
But it was the perfect size,  shape and color!
How often does exactly what you've been looking
for drop in your lap like that?
If you're anything like me your saying "never" .
 
So I looked around to make sure no one was looking 
and grabbed that door right up.
and when I say "grabbed" I actually mean "lugged
That thing was heavy!
And after a lot of scrubbing 
it was perfect...


Looking at this now I'm thinking the birdcage has 
got to go... but otherwise I'm loving
the shabby chic look

3 Miles is getting easier!

Yes I have officially run a 5K !
and I could still breathe when I was done
Quite the accomplishment for me.
I guess I should say I jogged a 5k...
I don't think a 10 minute mile is considered running, 
Actually I might look that up.....

It was so much easier today and it felt so good!
I took a week off last week and I'm wondering if 
the people at the gas station and the playground missed me.
Ha ha  just kidding, but seriously people are starting
to wave as I go by now.  
Maybe I need to change my route a little bit.
O and I forgot to mention...
I got an early Christmas present that I am totally loving...
new running shoes!
I am a happy girl.
