Giveaway Winners & Pay It Forward

Today's Workout:  25 minutes weights, 20 min elliptical, 5 treadmill miles, 40 minutes.
***

 Winner #1 of the Good2Go bars is Courtney from Nerd on The Run.

Winner #2 is Ann from Twelve in Twelve

Congratulations ladies!!  e-mail me at rachelle.wardle@imail and I will get Casey your address to send you a sample of the bars.  Thank you to everyone who entered.

Whoa I was working on a post and my power went out and I lost everything.  Anyway you all are pretty lucky because I swear the marathon on Sunday burned the small remainder of braincells I had left. 

Marathon + no sleep + fueling my body solely on diet coke and protein bars = Rachelle's little brain disappearing.

In the last 24 hours I have:

Popped my hood instead of the gas tank in an attempt to fill my car with gas.

Parked at my parents neighbors house thinking it was theirs and called my Dad frustrated because the darn garage code he gave me was not working!  You should have seen the neighbors staring at me.

Forgot my facebook password completely and had to set up a new one.

Parked my car under my neighbors parking stall instead of my own. (I've lived in the same place for 3.5 years.)

And forgot 3/4 of the things on my list at the grocery store.  I did somehow come home with popcorn and more diet coke though so all is well in the world. :)

I am totally on a role.  You should probably rub me to keep the streak going.   This girl needs to recharge the little noggin so instead of reading more of this post I bring you Pay It Forward from one year ago today.  I challenge you to read this post and think about ways that you can pay it forward this Christmas season.  Each and every one of us will hit a point in our life when we need help.  If you are able to help others this holiday season please pay it forward.

Ever had a day like mine today?

  6. Days like that seem like the story of my life. Like getting up on a Saturday morning, getting ready to go to school then realizing we don't have school on Saturdays. ughhhh.

  7. Day? More like life. It helps when you can laugh at yourself- which essentially means I'm laughing all. the. time. These were awesome!

    I was spendy for the little boy I got off the angel tree. I'm excited for him. angel trees make me cry every year.

  8. Girl you need to screw your head on straight! You made me laugh so hard. I can't imagine what your parent's neighbors thought of you trying to break in.

    I locked myself and a friend out of the parking garage at one of my company's buildings a few weeks ago. We had to walk all the way to my other building to grab a key. I felt horrible!

  9. I always have forgetful days. I have been a stay at home mom for 12 years, sometimes the brain gets a little mushy. BTW you and I have the same name! Did everyone call you Rachel growing up too? New Follower:)

  12. your writing is so beautiful, and i thank you for always keeping me humble...i need to keep those pay it forward words in my head the next time i am blowing a gasket sitting in traffic...at least I have a car, and I can afford to fill the tank when it runs out from sitting in traffic.

    Thanks Rach - and get some sleep :)

  16. I hate days like that! I guess they are inevitable this time of year, and from time to time.

    On your note of Pay It Forward.. I have been thinking about this a lot lately because SUAR did a post on this. Since I just had $1700 in dental bills I haven't really had a lot of extra to throw around for charity. After reading it I got creative and found a few ways to donate my time to other people. Today I had a haircut come in who left me a $50 tip. $50 on a mens haircut! He just said "I take care of people who take care of me." It warmed my heart so much!!
