It Was A Chico's Kind Of Day And The Jalapeno Half, Part 2

I looked at a catalog for Chico's.
I realized it's okay to wear big, chunky necklaces with loud prints.

Such freedom.

new topic:
Jalapeno Half Part 2:
I ran this half marathon on June 29. (See previous blog).
It was one of the most treacherous half marathons I have ever run. Very very hot. Near the end, I felt like almost everyone was half-walking and running, including me.

Thanks for reading...


Have a great Monday,

Jalapeno Half, Part 1

I ran the jalapeno half marathon in Fort Worth, Texas.

After the race...
Some people whined on Facebook that they had to walk to their cars because the shuttle was not working.

The walk was no more than a few blocks, maybe about 7 blocks at the most.

However, I say: If you can't walk a few blocks after you've just run 13.1 miles (Half marathon distance), then what was the point of running 13.1 miles?
It is actually good for your legs, to walk after you run.

THE END.

Alice,

Today is THE END of the blogathon. Thank you.

It's Saturday

Happy Saturday.

It is Day 29 of the blogathon. It is almost over.
Let's review: this month I went to Savannah, Georgia, watched "Cheaters", read about the movie "The Bling Ring," and read Gloria's blog.
It doesn't get much more exciting.

thanks,

Wayfarers. Woo hoo

I saw an advertisement for the sunglasses called Wayfarers on tv.

I read about these in the book Less than zero, which was released in 1985.
So I thought, are they coming back in style?

It turns out they've been in style for a long time, as you can see from the Wikipedia article above.
The author of Less Than Zero is Bret Easton Ellis.

Tom Cruise wears Wayfarer sunglasses in the picture below.

Also:
I went to the library. It is not as easy to renew your library card as I thought.


Thanks.
Good thursday

Food Trucks Are Here So You Can Feast Away

There is a new food truck park opening this weekend.

At 2500 W Mockingbird, wander among the traveling culinary "micro-centers" and feast.
The fun starts on Friday at 5 pm.

I'm not really a big fan of food trucks. In fact, sometimes I think, why not just go to a restaurant?
But you can go and eat like it's your last meal.
Thanks,
The Wednesday End.

Day 26, of the Blogathon.

Read Before Creativity Is Dead

I was reading a magazine article the other day, a headline, and it reminded me of how those in the writing business, especially at newspapers and magazines, constantly have to be creative.

Of course there are many forms of creativity.

however:
It is really hard to think of new and interesting headlines, and, ways to explain things every day. I know from firsthand experience.

So to everyone who does that, or even those who write for a living, kudos!

But, I am also wondering,
Is Creativity Dead?

Thanks, for reading.
