Pinterest

It seems like everyone and their mother is on Pinterest now. If you haven't joined head over their now and sign up, go on DO IT!

I have to say I'm pinhard. I rarely pin new things on Pinterest, because they are so many things just waiting to be re-pinned from the site. Also, for some reason, I've had trouble adding the Pin button to my mac and iPAD. Any other Mac users out there that have figured this out?

The purpose of this post was to inform all my faithful readers of something I recently pinned. I'm a "collector" of race memorabila. I run races for the t-shirts and medals, yes I'm that girl. I have saved all my t-shirts, bib numbers and medals from the races I've participated in. Ok, in all honesty there may be a handful of 5K bibs that have been tossed along the way. Anyway I came across this article yestarday on ideas on what to do with your old race stuff. If you're interested in the suggestions they had read the article here.

I'd thought of some tips before, but the one I was intrigued by the most was turning your bib numbers into coasters. I found someone's Etsy site who will turn those old bibs into coasters and thought to myself, now I think I could do that. I also think it would be cool to turn them into trivets or re-purpose serving trays with them. I know it may seem tacky, but for someone who is as sentimental as I am, this is the perfect solution to declutter some of my stuff.

Eventully when we move and decorate for Christmas again, I plan on turning my medals into Christmas tree ornaments.

What do you do with your race memorabila?

Missouri Basketball

I'll admit, during college I went to may 10 basketball games in my 4 and 1/2 years at Mizzou. This year it seems that I can't get enough of my Tigers. I've watched most games from our computer, since we don't have cable, and even though the quality sucks I've been happy to catch the games. I'm totally biased of course but I've been really impressed with our team this year. I attribute alot of our play making ability to "Flip" Pressey who has a ridculous sense of being able to see the floor and make incredible passes.

David and I are taking a spring break trip next month and someone suggested that we follow our team through the tournament. I wasn't sure how far we'd get, but now I thinking that it could have been a lot of fun. Especially if they end up playing in STL.
