Jen blogged for me in Kansas :)!

Hey this is Jen! I’m blogging for Suzy. Why you ask? Well, one word… slacker! Yes, that’s right, Suzy is being a slacker and doesn’t want to blog for herself. Because I’ve been with her all week and she’s paid for all my meals, she’s making me blog for her…her exact words were, “If you won’t blog for me, you won’t eat.” We’ve been having a great week here in Kansas, chatting it up with lots of folks, experiencing the local specialties (i.e. peanut butter rice crispy treats from the university dining center are the best!). I’ve discovered that Suzy is strange, but in a good way. I haven’t ever spent this much time with her all at once and it’s been quite educational. Here are the top five things I’ve learned about Suzy this week (drum roll please):

- She hates PT cruisers (We had this flashy, super-hero blue PT cruiser for our rental all week; yeah, we were cool.)
- She makes inappropriate hand gestures without realizing it; except for that day she flipped off some old lady who accidentally cut her off, I think she knew what she was doing then.
- She believes wearing her hair pulled back in a ponytail is the most appropriate, professional hairstyle while recruiting. I think on the next trip she should sport the Mohawk she’s talking about getting this summer. Email Suzy with your vote for your favorite Mohawk hair color.
- Her favorite rap star is Flavor-Flave (spelling?). There was actually this reality dating show where Mr. Flave was attempting to find the love of his life and Suzy was sad she wasn’t on the show. (No worries, Matt, she added she only felt that way before she started dating you—you’re way fly for a white guy).
- She is a cookie snob. But Suzy needs some accountability. Every time you see her, ask her if she’s made any no-bake cookies. While in Kansas, she has made a vow before God and bakers, to make no-bakes…okay, no vows were made but she did spend a lot of time talking about how much she wanted to make those cookies.

All right, Suzy, has more quirks; I just wanted to highlight a few. It’s been fun and I’m glad I got to spend this week with her. Feel free to add your own favorite Suzy quirks. She would love that.

Note from Suzy: Thanks jen for blogging for me. :) Jen is one funny gal and it's been fun to hang this week with her in Manhattan, KS. I'm glad she blogged for me, although I wouldn't believe everything she has to say about me. :) But I appreciated the laughs.... Thanks Jen!

freedom to just work out...

yes, Freedom. Until this weekend, I didn't realize how freeing it is to NOT be training for a marathon. That sounds awful i know, but it's true. It was a beautiful weekend in Denver, and I had a long good workout at Ballys. But if I was training for a marathon, even with the great workout, I would be feeling extremely guilty for not running outside for a long distance. Because let's face it... you can only run on a treadmill for around 4 miles max. I can't even do that though because I get so bored. So, I just wanted to share that although I enjoy running and I hope to do another marathon... it's nice to just go workout indoors and not feel so bad.

And with working out, I just got a membership to Ballys. I have been flirting with the idea for months and I love their fitness classes and gym. So, I signed a dumb 3 year contract, which I still can't believe I did. BUT, to make it better, I paid for it all upfront so i wouldn't be financing it throughout the 3 years and paying double. Because, That, my friend, is even dumber than signing the 3 year contract!!!

So I died my hair again 2 days ago. I did it out of a cheap $5 hair color box. You can do that when you are going darker, but nit when you are going lighter or highlighting. I have had too many bad experiences. But, I am glad it's finally brown and not orange/red weird color.

This is actually a picture of me right now at work! :) Have a great Friday! Yea for Fridays....
