How I did it
It made me
feel festive 
How I did it: I bought a kit at Costco & just followed the directions. They were very straightforward. It came out pretty sloppy though, it's impossible to use the bag they give you for decorating, but it was fun nonetheless! Read how I did it…
It made me
Nostalgic
How I did it: I carved a pumpkin last weekend but I carved too much out of the bottom & it rotted through! I ended up carving the same thing for my replacement pumpkin - Jack the Skeleton! I don't give myself many opportunities to be creative, so it was fun to craft something with my hands again. I plan on roasting the pumpkin seeds tonight. =) Read how I did it…
It made me
AWESOME
How I did it: Inspired by Barney Stinson from How I Met Your Mother (See Season 1 Episode 11). Mine's not "All Rise" & it's a little lengthy, but it works for me. Lo Fidelity All Stars - Battleflag The Chemical Brotherrs - Galvanize Rob Zombie - Dragula Electric Light Orchestra - Fire On High Kevin Rudolf f. Lil Wayne - Let It Rock Survivor - Eye Of The Tiger Dropkick Murphys - I'm Shipping Up To Boston Apollo Four Forty - Stop The Rock … Read how I did it…

I’m really close, but since I started running again in April I’ve made a lot of progress. I’ve lost over five pounds since then, and that’s with slacking off again at the end of June. Soon!
I went down last Thursday & stayed with a friend for a week. It was nice to see the city from a local’s point of view & enjoy Mardi Gras in a more residential, less chaotic area. I even got a celebratory birthday King Cake as well – score! Definitely recommend going if you can, the parades & floats & the city unity is fantastic! Everyone was really friendly and giving – if you can get down there, do it!
