Thursday Things 2.4.15

February 5, 2015 by Jenna

thursday things 02.05.2015

Three weeks ago I wrote about how I wanted to make this no sew braided rug. I started it and am almost done, just a few more rounds to go. I knew all those random cotton race and volunteer shirts that I stuffed away in my storage unit would come in handy one day. I still have plenty left to make many-a rug… Rugs for everyone!

Also for everyone, these links:

  • A super cute Italian soda bar.
  • Chocolate mousse everywhereeeeee: kahlua chocolate pudding with oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, paleo dark chocolate mousse, raw vegan chocolate pudding, dark chocolate mousse with berries, avocado chocolate mousse, salted caramel chocolate mousse
  • Amy Poehler and Tina Fey are the best. And so are best friends.
  • Can you pull off a red lip like this? What about this hair?
  • Lazy slice. So cool.

Also, as a proud member of the Twin Cities in Motion Marketing Committee, I want to tell you that registration for the  Twin Cities Marathon opened on Tuesday!! You should probably go sign up for it. I won’t be running the marathon this year, but I will be running the Hot Dash 10 Miler and volunteering at the Valentine’s Day 5K and the Medtronic TC 1 Mile.

Now put 18 layers on and go for a jog. Or make some chocolate mousse. Or both. Whatever path you choose, enjoy your Thursday!

      Do it! It’s really simple to make and a good winter activity to do while watching movies/listening to podcast. I’m going to bring this one to the Jabin.

My open heart surgery was 7 years ago and it’s an My open heart surgery was 7 years ago and it’s an anniversary I will never not celebrate. 

I carried a lot of trauma with me for a long time. I was nervous for every hike, every workout, religiously checking my heart rate, wondering if this would be the time my heart fails me again. Very dramatic, I know. But I kept at it, doing these things I love to do, working through the fear. Now the intrusive thoughts are few and far between. 

So here I am 7 years later, a stronger person both physically and mentally, hanging out at the top of a mountain with my babies after a nice, challenging hike.  It’s all I really want. 

I’m so grateful for this life and for the people who continue to support me ❤️
