“On the Run” Vlog

I was bored on my run today, so instead of regular blogging, I made a video blog!  :0)

:0)

Have a fabulous day!

Edited to add: K made a good point in a comment and I want to thank her for bringing up this point! Laying out in the sun for prolonged periods of time is NOT a good thing, especially not in large volumes. In fact, being out in the sun at all without skin protectant is very dangerous! 

I don’t lay out for a long time – I’m mostly just trying to “fix” the tan lines that my running shorts have caused.  I also wear skin protectant – it doesn’t have a high SPF, but I’m definitely not out long enough to burn. 

Thanks for bringing this point up, K. As an Oncology Nurse, who works with skin cancers 70% of the day, I wouldn’t want people to think I was encouraging bad sun/skin habits!  I’m also definitely not justifying my actions – however, I like to think that I am only out in the sun long enough to “Make Vitamin D”! :0) 

What time is it? Summertime!!

First off, if you are reading this, you should know that I am a HUGE reminisce-r (if that's even a word...I think I just invented a new word!).  If you've been following me for a while, you've also seen me say that I feel as if I'm a 16 year old trapped inside of a 20 something year old body (almost 30! Yikes!). 

Growing up, I was a huge NSYNC fan...ah yes, I rocked it out with NSYNC!

The Disney Channel hosted an NSYNC concert probably back in 1998 or 1999 that I recorded on VHS (gasp...yes VHS). I watched that concert over and over and over and over and over again - at least once a day every day during that summer!

Now that I'm "older", it hasn't gotten much better.  (Ok, well I don't have life-size posters of teen heartthrobs on the walls of my bedroom anymore, so maybe it has gotten a little better!) :0)

Since NSYNC has faded out, my more-adult loves have moved towards High School Musical, Camp Rock, Demi Lovato, and the Jonas Brothers.  Yes, I like the Jonas Brothers. (Very mature, right?)

So here's where the reminiscing part comes into play.....

Last summer, for my TWENTY-EIGHTH birthday (I hate to admit that!), my best friend and my sister in law traveled with me to The Woodlands, Texas to spend the weekend Jonas style!!!  If you were following my blog last summer, you probably remember me talking about our crazy adventures! :0)

I miss last summer so much, you have no clue. 

A few highlights:

-I teach a group of high school girls at my church - so last summer, we had a Camp Rock 2 viewing party at my house!  It was a BLAST!  The week before Camp Rock 2 premiered on Disney Channel, the cast also taped a segment on Good Morning America (it was a part of GMA's summer concert series).  Watching their portion on GMA made me even more excited to see them, in concert!

-I broke my foot playing softball and had to wear a stupid hard boot on my foot for 6 weeks.  (ok so maybe that wasn't a good memory!)

My New Best Friend

-I visited North Carolina for a week with my mom (she was there on business). I enjoyed a week of sight-seeing, relaxation, and rest!

Last Day in North Carolina!

-To end the summer, we spent a weekend in The Woodlands. Our day started off with a Road Dogs game where we got to see the Jonas Brothers up close and life-size playing a softball game against the Marquees Jet Flyers.  No joke, this was probably the best part of the weekend! I took a few good pictures, too!  Even though we were sun burned (no sunscreen-I'm a bad oncology nurse!) and were incredibly hot, we still had a blast!

-To top it all off, we ended our evening with the Camp Rock 2/Demi Lovato/Jonas Brothers concert!  What an experience!  A ton of screaming girls, everyone singing the words to the songs....it was awesome!  I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Of all the summers I can remember, the summer of 2010 is definitely in the top 10!!

Now that we are in the summer of 2011, I can't wait to see what it has in store!! :0)
