It's been a little over a year in my Crossfit adventures

And my butt doesn't jiggle!

Scoff if you will but(t) this is a really big deal.

No pun intended.

I have made amazing friends and WOD buddies.

I'm amazingly disciplined.

I'm getting amazing results.

I'm doing amazing things.

Every.single.day.

Monday - Friday.

Everyone needs rest days.

Just sayin'.........

This was the last WOD of 2014 and it wasn't pretty.

I can't explain why I look like I got hit by a train and everyone else looks as fresh as a daisy.

It just ain't right.

I love tanks - especially snarky ones and this one fits the bill and it's fitting for the last WOD of 2014, because I am becoming a badass.

I'm expecting great things for 2015 - because from 2013-2014 made me a Crossfit believer. A believer that if I could do it - anyone can. And not only do it - but do it well. And not only do it well - but I keep getting better.

Just a few stats I can be a tad brag-a-docious about:

1 mile run - 12:34

5K- 36:25 

Hang Clean - 60 lb.

Back Squat - 95 lb.

Deadlift - 140 lb.

Push Press - 60 lb.

Snatch - 40 lb.

Strict Press - 45 lb.

Squat Clean - 70 lb.

Not bad for 60 years young.

And wait until February when I'm 61 years young.

You will be amazed.

Just to recap- Whatever head games you got going on saying you can't - read this post again - and know that you can. All you have to do is start.

This post is my 1,000 post & a prize!!!

1,000 posts.

Who knew I could be so windy.

I started this blog on August 22, 2007

so it took me awhile. 

In honor of my 1K posts - leave a comment and

as soon as I figure out randomly generated winner -

I shall pick one AND the lucky winner 

will get a small, lovely and sincere scrappy prize. 

So you have to return to see if you were the one

that was randomly generated :)

And thank you in advance for your continued perusual.

So this year I continued in my Ali Edwards vein of saving

my Christmas cards on a page. 

For some reason I couldn't stand these pages up

to photograph because I didn't have enough hands

 so there ya go.

And they are oddly similar to the other years I know your just curious

to relive and see because they are 2 pages

with a pocket and beautiful cards as well.

I used Kaiser Craft papers.

This is last years page and the pocket just to be

wild and crazy is on the left side.

Its a bit more collagy.

 I absolutely don't remember the papers, however

there is misting involved. oooooo

 oooooo got some graphic going on here and wow....

the pocket is back on the right side.

You can't make this stuff up people.

 Mixed it up a bit on 2010 with different shapes

and sizes. AND moved the pocket back

to the left side.

In my mind I must just automatically change them up.

Seriously.

I can't remember what I had for dinner the day before

and I'll be convinced I can remember which side 

to switch the pocket to after a year.

I know you're impressed.

Mostly in these years I used cardstock with just a bit 

of Christmas papers if I had any leftover.

Anyway I love Ali E. and her stuff and its a terrific way

to save your cards and toss the remains guilt free.

I save the letters and photo cards in the 

pocket and whack up the others and sadly those the 

signatures go so if that matters you may just want to pocket them.

If someone writes to me they're saved as well as I

usually try to put a personal note in mine as well because

sometimes that is the only contact we've had.

oooo and a challenge too - do up your own Christmas cards and start

a new scrappy tradition!
