Here’s a great little site for all you athletes out there. Banana Blossom Press has designed a new line of greeting cards for anyone who loves/hates exercise, for the people in your running group, for your spouse who runs and you don’t, for your child who had a great year in their cross country team at school, for your friend who is training for a triathlon and for your mother who is going to walk a half-marathon after seeing you run a marathon.
Although, I really feel like we should talk about some shameful running first. Or lack of running. I haven’t run in about ten days, and my next run will be this Sunday when I run the White Rock Half Marathon with IHateToast. Instead of going for a sub 2 hour half, we’ve decided to dress up as ballerinas and dance our way to the finish as we eat guacamole and do shots of tequila. We may not finish fast, but it will make for some awesome pictures. I hope after the race I’ll be inspired to start training again. Sinus infection + holiday stress + PMS has had me a little down. I’m on the upside I think. I hope.
Now, about that return of shameful commerce . . . here we go – check out the masthead design for Watching the View.
I can’t believe it’s been so long since I’ve done any Shameful Commerce. It’s not because we haven’t been busy, more like a lazy Runner Susan.
To kick start the return of Shameful Commerce and to show our appreciation to you lovely Internet People during the holidays, the Masthead Factory is offering $15.00 off ALL mastheads. Even the custom designed ones. THE BEST DEAL IN TOWN.
Makes a great gift! Just look through our catalog, pick the masthead you want, and add it to your cart with the coupon code holiday. Fill out your title, tagline, and dimensions (if you want specifics) and we’ll finish the masthead and email it to you.
Can you feel the love Internet People?
It’s a tie between Tukisha with Personal Improvement Machine Platform or PIMP for short. I love her examples – I have to go do my pimp. My pimp wore me out.
And I really like Real Diva’s Sunshine and her alternate title The Bionic Stationary Cankle Corrector.
So I think I’ll compromise and go with Sunshine PIMP.
Tukisha, friend, if you still have a blog and need a masthead let me know. Real Diva let’s get you a masthead started, send me an email and let me know what you are looking for! Thank you for naming my treadmill.
January 2007
I began video blogging while failing at the infamous master cleanse.
I bought my favoritest t-shirt and talked a lot about my boobs.
I declare my war on organization, which is the only one of my resolutions that stuck throughout the year. I might try the video blogging again in 2008, it was fun while it lasted
February 2007
Michael and I began what will forever be known as “The Knollie Witch Project” and the most beautiful girl in the world got braces.
March 2007
My mother gave me some old photos, and Retro posting began. I also drove all the way to Indiana to run a 5-mile St. Patrick’s Day race with Sister Runner Amy – only to find out they had no green beer.
April 2007
I discover that if you wear too much eye shadow, you’ll gain weight.
May 2007
I entered my name in the NY Marathon lottery. I never win lotteries.
My precious little girl turned ten.
I run the Indianapolis Mini Marathon completely untrained, while in the meantime, Mother Nature builds Donkey a pool in my backyard.
June 2007
I get another year closer to 40. My lottery was chosen for the NY marathon.
July 2007
It’s too hot to handle and a nice RBF meetup.
August 2007
We move into the Knollie Witch Project and I go into withdraw because I spend 15 days without internet. My baby starts 5th grade.
September 2007
Septemberathon takes place in an effort to make up not training for 3 weeks while we move. It was hot, hot, hot. I also ran the Tour de Fleurs 20k and organized my new bedroom closet.
October 2007
I buy my most favoritest pair of boots ever in the history of boots. I love them so much I want to sleep in them.
I love my husband and Kenza is darn scary.
November 2007
The guest bedroom closet becomes my running closet.
I run my fifth marathon in five hours.
I cut off the hair I had been growing out for 2 years.
December 2007
Sister Runner Amy and I run our first half marathon together. My only 5k of the year was run this month and I decide to become Strong Like Helm.
It’s shocking, but Kenza can’t stay a baby forever and I realize puberty is around the corner.
And I finish out the year with an apple and by organizing my pantry, which, actually, is more exciting than it sounds.
Are you looking for the perfect gift for that perfect someone? Give them some good masthead. The Masthead Factory is now offering 1/2 off all pre-made mastheads! Enter the code holiday at checkout.
