Ringing in 2009 - MAC Eyeshadow

New Years Eve, I went on a run with a friend and we discussed our plans for ringing in 2009. Of course, we discussed our all important outfits and makeup. We agreed that MAC has the best eye shadow. I got this great smokey palette last year and they also sold it again this year (probably because it is so awesome). Check it out... MAC 6 SMOKEY EYES

I've got good news and bad news...bad news first?

Living in Michigan, it's hard to avoid the topic of the Auto Bailout. It's unsettling to wake up to the news this morning that the senate has rejected the aid. It's even more disheartening to hear that the world markets are already plunging and incredibly frustrating to hear that AIG is giving bonuses to their executives -what?! There is no debate in Michigan - the auto bailout is needed desperately.


So, I did mention that I have good news - MSU was awarded $550M for an isotope lab. This is exciting news for the state of Michigan. Between 2009-2016, it will create thousands of construction and indirect jobs, and when it opens in 2017 - it will create 400 jobs. More so, this will really put the state of Michigan in a position for advanced research and development and hopefully scientific breakthroughs!

Hitting Stands December 23rd!

Apparently, there is new Women's Running magazine coming out - it is targeting smart, successful women who use running to balance and enrich their lives. Sounds right up my alley!

Take a Dump in Your Pants If You Need To!

To the right, I've listed a couple of the running sites that I like to check out. Elite Feet is one of my favorites. Awhile back, they featured creative signs that supporters make for participants along the course. This picture is compliments of Elite Feet... here are a few of the greatest hits!
