Here I am!
Hello my friends!
I’m writing to tell those of you who haven’t guessed (or haven’t heard already) about the good news I teased about last week… but also to talk about how AWESOME my spring break has been!
Saturday: Daron and I went with my mom and John to see the Phantom of the Opera! Phantom is one of those classic musicals that you (or at least I) never turn down the chance to see. I guess I’ve probably seen it 5 times live.
Sunday was JUST laying around… which is always appreciated. 
Monday: I was in TRUE kelsey form, and went a little crazy…
YEP! Most of you already know, and the rest of you guessed correctly… haha! I am so proud to say that I was cast in my local theatre company’s production of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels! I’ll be playing Christine Colgate… A character with SO much singing (!), Dancing (!), and shenanigans, its crazy! The cast of this production is a venerable talent show of local musical/theatre power houses. I am humbled to be a part of it. 
So, back to “true kelsey form”… you know, if you know me at all that I am an absolute SPAZZ about office supplies. Markers, pens, sharpies, postits, folders, tabs, binder clips, paper clips… I love them.
A girl like me, with a giant script… it doesn’t take long for me to get it bound at kinkos, and go buy fresh color coded tabs that mark each scene, and musical number… It was the highlight of my day.
On Tuesday, I lounged around, caught up on a billion blogs, and played video games. WIN.
Wednesday, I went and got a manicure and pedicure with my dear friend Erin… followed by lunch, and a trip to the mall for purse hunt, March 2010… haha.
Thursday was LUNCH with some of the cast and crew of the SHOW! It was pretty awesome to talk with them about the production, and to have my mind put to ease when I had questions about my voice and training.
Friday, Sweet Jessica and I went out to the Allen Outlet stores, to partake in the Gap Give/Get promotion! It is 30% off of EVERYTHING, including sales and clearance items at the entire family of Gap stores (including Gap Body, Banana Republic, Old Navy… and their respective outlet stores.) I spent too much money, but it was very fun, and I got a lot of stuff I can wear this spring and summer.
Saturday, the randomass Texas weather went from 75 degrees yesterday to 35 degrees today, and so I’m staying bundled up and toasty with my hubby…
I bought New Moon earlier, so I may torture him into watching it with me later, who knows.
Tomorrow, Sunday is our FIRST rehearsal/meeting/read-through of the show, and I am positively buzzing with excitement. I’m ready to meet everyone officially, though they all already feel like close friends, and I’m ready to get started.
1 Month to Spain CHALLENGE!
I wanted to quickly add that my google readers did miss out on the pictures posted at the end of my Bloomin’ 4 Mile race report, so if you wanna see them all, you’ll need to actually come to the site.
So, I have 1 month until I take my amazing summer trip. This trip is going to be about 1/8 amazing work for my professional career, 1/8 harry potter fan girl ness, 1/4 trip to paris, and 1/2 immersion into Spanish culture and joy at seeing my lola.
I’ve decided that since the first part of the trip will be in Alicante, on the mediterranean coast, and I’ll have to wear a swimsuit, I’ll go a bit extra with my training for the next month.
I hereby PLEDGE to continue running 3 days per week, and to also do 5 days per week of the 30 day shred video. I can split them up however I want, and all of that, but I WILL do it. This is a good accountability test! I need you guys to help keep me on track!
The count down has finally begun! I’m sooooooooooooooo excited I can hardly stand it!
Spain, here we come!
Spring Break: Day 1
Hey gang!
I had a pretty lazy day, all things considered… but it was NICE!
I started out my morning with some granola from MixMyGranola.com, and I have to say… It is pretty awesome!
When I got it the other day, I first noticed the awesome packaging!
Tinni liked the outer packaging much better…
I named my mix “Super Yum Yum Fun Mix” (Daron’s was “Nommy Nom Nom Mix”, hehe).
If you’ve not heard about it, it is a site, where you essentially create your own granola, just the way you like it! My granola contains:
I have to admit, while I LOVE ginger, it was a really bad move in this granola mix. I will be eating this in yogurt, and occasionally with milk, and the ginger was just too intense. It clouded all of the other flavors. 
But all in all, a very good bowl.
Since hubs works from home on Mondays and Fridays, we were able to hang out today… which I think I probably enjoyed more than he did.
I lounged about, pretty much until tonight, when I whipped out Jillian’s new DVD, No More Trouble Zones, and I have to say, it was TOUGH! I got through most of it, but not like the models all the time… I sweat like a BEAST!
In other AMAZING news, we’re already at 64.5 miles for Monika!!! I’m just hoping that people continue to send their information and miles in, so that we keep it up, and smash our goal to bits!
Feel free to leave your Miles here for today… I’ll get ‘em.
Miles for Monika:Official Kick-Off!
Hey guys!
I’ve had a great response to “Miles for Monika” and I really hope we can BLOW our goal miles out of the water! It is going to require help from all of you, though… it really will.
Here is a rundown of the details for you, if you missed it the first time.
- Any miles that you run/walk/jog/hike (miles earned on your own two feet) count.
- Feel free to use even miles, or to the nearest tenth. (ex: 2.3 miles)
- Miles must be clocked between Monday, March 16th (12:00 am) – Sunday, March 29th (11:59 pm)
- You can report miles daily, weekly, or at the end of the whole fortnight.
There are 3 ways you can report your miles:
- Either leave your miles in a comment on this blog (this post, or subsequent posts later in the week… it doesn’t matter)
- Email me your miles: kelsey@kelseytoney.com
- For my nesties, you can post your miles on the daily c25k/running check in post (If you don’t know what this is… use one of the other two methods)
In semi-related news, I’ve got a clean bill of health from the doctor, which means that I’m starting my 16-week 10k training plan tomorrow! I’ll be posting a summary of my weekly plan/workout journal, so you can follow my progress.
Plus! It’s spring break!!
Bloggers- Please help me out, by reposting the information about Monika’s Miles… I don’t have the reach that some of you other big timers do, so your reposting/linking could make a big difference.
I’ll be holding my breath for your miles to start pouring in tomorrow!!
You can check our progress on the Miles for Monika widget on my sidebar—-> Let’s do this!
Thanks! good night!
Edited to Add:
Here is a button that you can use to post a tiny version of the MFM banner seen above. Just copy and paste it, then remove the 2 Asterisks (one before the “a href” and one before the “img”) and it will link directly to my blog post about the event!

It will look like this:
Zzzzzzzzzzzz…
A game… Holiday Play By Play.
I’m going to attempt to recap my holidays in short sentences spanning about 2-8 hours each! Enjoy!!
_______________________________________
We left wednesday afternoon, and roadtripped to Arkansas to see Daron’s fam. (6 hour car ride. Boo.)
On the way we stopped at McDonald’s to get a bite right before they closed…
I sat directly behind Santa and Mrs. Claus… (seriously, I was all nervous and giddy, it was them)
Then, we got to Fayetteville and slept.
Christmas morning, we made cranberry muffins (pretty good) and went to his sister’s for christmas celebration.
Unwrapping commenced/we ate/we laid on the couch/we ate/we talked/we watched a movie.
Friday, we made cherry cordial cookies.
Saturday we left for Mt. Pleasant, where my dad lives- in East Texas. (5 hour drive…meh)
Late afternoon, we arrived.
Merriment, sandwiches, pass the ace, loud little brother, cookie sheets, driving home(2 hour drive, yay).
Got home last night, loved on the cats (who may eventually forgive us) and slept like bricks.
