Color Me Rad

Why hello there.
It is I, Kyra, writer of this blog.

I don't know what's gotten in to me.
I just said "F you" to social media for the past couple of days.
And not because I was pissed off at anything someone posted.
Although some people do annoy the shit out of me with their postings. #facebookhater
I just didn't feel like checking in...on blogs, on emails, on FB...even on IG!! (Gasp!! Say it ain't so!!)

So I didn't.

I would like to say thanks to all of you that commented on my post from last Tuesday in regards to my thoughts and feelings on the Boston Marathon. While my thoughts were a mess and my emotions all over, I enjoyed reading your sweet, understanding and like-minded comments. 

So, today, I'm posting.
Tomorrow, no guarantees!
:)

On Saturday, Royce and I did the Color Me Rad 5k.
2 of my gal pals joined us and we had a blast!


Who doesn't love a good B&A?!?!

I pushed Royce in his stroller and threw a sheet over him when we went through the color spots..
But the color throwers were very respectful and didn't go all out on the lady with a baby.
We both rocked our homemade #BostonStrong shirts!
 
Next time, I think I'd like us both to be a little more colorful!!


We walked the entire thing. And just laughed and talked!
Bam!! Look at that time!
It was Royce's first ever 5k so at least somebody PR'd!

And that's all for today, folks!
Short and sweet just like me!

Running is a Luxury


I am still in a state of shock from yesterday's news coming out of Boston.
I can't tear myself away from the TV.
I have been bawling my eyes out and gasping for breath between sobs.
My tears are filled with deep sadness and pure raw anger.

At one point my son thought it was hysterical that mommy was sobbing.
I thanked God for him being so innocent.
Of not being at an age to understand that the world we live in is cruel.
But he'll learn that all too soon!

As I watched the footage over and over again I kept looking at that finish line.
I kept watching those runners that were almost to that finish line.
Those runners that were about to accomplish something many others don't, won't, or can't even attempt in their lifetime.
Those runners that had that joy and pride and sense of accomplishment that they should have felt after crossing that finish line ripped away from them in an instant.
And instead was replaced by fear, sadness and anger.

It took me back to training for my half.
With every long run that came every week I felt sheer pride in another mile...another accomplishment.
I couldn't wait for race day to get here.
I was so emotional that week leading up to it.
Just thinking about the finish.
How proud I would feel after I had completed it.

And knowing that these great emotions weren't the case for those runners is what really got to me.
Knowing all the hard work and effort and time they put into training for this huge event.
To be taken away in an instant by some sick and selfish individual(s).
I was devastated for them and outraged at the same time.

And then I kept thinking about the spectators.
Of course, everything is so up in the air since it just happened.
And I'm not here to shout a bunch of hearsay I heard on the news, but one report mentioned that none of those 150 injured and 3 dead were runners.
Whether that is 100% accurate or not, truth be told that a vast majority of the victims were spectators.
People there watching and waiting for their loved ones, friends, and complete strangers to cross that monumental finish line.
People that were there to encourage and support and cheer on these runners.

If I could or would have a chance to be a spectator at the Boston Marathon, you better believe I would be there at the finish line watching those champions cross.
I was in Hawaii one year while the Ironman Triatholon was taking place.
I was a volunteer and got to stand as "security" right at the finish line when the first athletes were coming through.
It was one of the neatest experiences of my life that I will never forget.
I was filled with such encouragement and awe of those athletes.

I can guarantee that those spectators yesterday felt the same excitement, encouragement and awe as each runner neared and crossed that finish line.

And in an instant, all that was gone.
This experience for runners and spectators alike was to be one of great happiness and success.
And all that is lost.

As a runner, I am devastated.
I know as a people, as a nation, we are all devastated.
But this one really hits my heart.
In knowing all the emotions that go into this kind of event.
...both as a runner and a spectator.


  
Many running groups have asked that we all stand in support of this and wear a race shirt today.
I've got mine on from my race this past Saturday.
Wear one of yours with pride today.
And every day.

At my race on Saturday, I saw a couple spectators in wheelchairs watching along the course.
My heart ached as I ran past them.
As I ran past them with my 2 working legs.
My thought right then and there was "Running is a Luxury".

As I walked back along the race course on Saturday, I saw quite a few seeing impaired people with walking sticks walking in the race.
I cheered super loud to let them know I was in awe of them.
Running is a Luxury.

Yes, Running is a great form of exercise.
Running is a way for me to clear my head.
Running gives me a sense of accomplishment.
Running is what I love.
But not everyone can or has the capability to run.

It is with that knowledge that I am truly grateful for my running ability.
With that knowledge that I will continue to run...but for those that can't.
And with that knowledge, never forgetting that Running is a Luxury.

Sometimes all I know to do is Run.
Sometimes all I know to do is Pray.
Run and Pray, my friends. Run and Pray.

Wasn't it just last Monday?!?!

Why, hello there, smack-dab middle of April!
Where the eff did you come from?!?

Another weekend has come and gone.
And this one was a delightful one!

Friday afternoon, I traveled an hour and a half north with my sweet little family to Richmond, VA.
We met up with my mom who traveled 3 plus hours down to meet us in Richmond to watch me in the race/spend the weekend with us!
We checked into our hotel and off to the expo to pick up my bib and race swag.
This place was a cluster F from the driving/parking to the facility itself.
It was hot as balls in the building which makes for a cranky as shit pleasant husband!

I wanted to peruse every possible vendor but there were so many people and it was hot.
Not to mention our ever-moving 18 month old who wanted nothing to do with being in his stroller.
And did I mention my husband was cranky?

I was on a mission for some Bondi Bands so I knew that was a definite stop.
I found the table no problem.
Perhaps the mountains of bands on a table made it stand out.
But that also made it hard to find the ones I was looking for!
I'm super indecisive so I know I was at the table for awhile.
Which made my husband all the more merry!
But I finally managed to pick these 3:


We finally got out of there and had a nice carbolicious meal at Panera Bread.
Back at the hotel, it was time to unwind.
And spend an hour plus getting Royce to sleep.
Then another 2 hours for me to fall asleep.
Only to be woken up an hour later by my sweet little baby.
I may have slept from 2am-6am.
MAY HAVE.
(Not to mention my poor mom that paid for our hotel room got kicked out of the bed to the hotel floor by her sweet little grandson who just wasn't happy until he was in the bed with his mommy)

Our alarm went off bright and early.
I was tired.
But I was more excited for the race so that exhaustion would just have to take a back seat.

We got breakfast and walked the 2 miles from our hotel to the starting line.
(Nice little warm up!)
There were thousands of people there.
(32,000 runners to be exact...ish)
Music pumping.
I was getting excited!
I said goodbye to my mom, husband and baby and went to get into my corral.
(Wave M for Move the eff over, I'm coming through!)

As each wave set off, we got closer to the starting line.
The music. The vibes. The energy. was intoxicating!
I was surrounded by people, not knowing a sole and dancing my ass off.
I was amped!!

Finally it was my turn to go.
And "go", I did!
Miles 1-3 went by super fast and felt a breeze!
My legs felt so good.
I hit the half way mark and knew a text would be sent to my husband letting him know where I was in the race. #awesomeracefeature

There were so many spectators just a-yellin' those encouragements!
It felt so good.
I may or may not have seen people on the side handing out free RVA (Richmond, VA) stickers and cut across specifically to get one.
#iheartfreeshit

I may or may not have stayed on the outside to high five all those cute little kiddos anxiously holding their hands out! 
I was enjoying this race so much!

Miles 4 -6 were kind of tough.
My pace slowed a tad and my legs were starting to get heavy.
But the adrenaline from so many people and wanting that PR kept me going!
Strong to the end!

When I stopped my Map My Run app I saw this:
I was stoked that it was not only under my PR hopes of 55 minutes, but it was under 54 minutes!

Well, apparently I should have paid less attention to stopping this at exactly 6.2 miles
(cos 6.2 per my app was actually at the 6 mile marker on the race course)
And paid more attention to upping my speed just a tad more at those last 2 tenths of a mile cos this was my official race time:

55:03!!


4 stupid seconds over my goal!

Now, let me get this straight.
That is a great time!!
I'm 100% proud of that time.
Under an hour, eff to the yeah!!

But, I'm a numbers person.
To an OCD-ish tendency... 
(Anyone remember where I said I had to stop my app at exactly 6.2 even though I hadn't actually finished the course that I was currently in the middle of running?!?! Point proven.)

While proud of knowing I did great, I was bummed that I don't have a completely accurate account of how I'm actually doing.
My phone app uses GPS to asses the mileage.
It's not going to be 100% accurate.
But I want to know exactly how I'm doing.
I want to know what I'm capable of doing in an actual race...
...what times I'm capable of beating in an actual race. 

I over analyze to a fault.
I need to know what to expect going into any situation. 
I have control issues.
But that's another post for another day. 
#bloggingischeaptherapy

Anyway....
After we hung around the post race festival for a little bit, we headed back along the race course for the 2-mile trek to our hotel. 
This was a total highlight of this event for me, because I got to cheer on the runners/walkers still doing the race.
I loved shouting out mad encouragement to them!
...letting them know "You're doing great!"
"Keep going!"
"You can do this!"
"Looking good!"
 
The appreciation in their smiles back were like a runner's high for me.
I felt some of them looked at me after hearing my encouragement and seeing my bib number, thought "Hey, she did it. She finished. I can too.
It was either that or "Stupid bitch. I hate you for already being done."
Either way, GO GET 'EM, TIGERS was what I was thinking!

But the real award goes to this guy right here!

 "I need more cowbell!"

He was such a trooper my mom and husband said.
Didn't give them too much hell having limited space to run all around.
He's my biggest fan and my biggest encourager!
(With a close second being my husband and mom! THANK YOU for being there to support me!)

 Helping mama refuel post race!

And next week, he'll by my race buddy (along with some kick ass friends) in the Color Me Rad 5k this coming Saturday!  
And don't worry...
This race is for pure fun!
We'll probably walk the whole thing.
So no "woe is me and my time" post next Monday!  

Now y'all get out there on this Monday and...
GO GET 'EM, TIGERS!

Lazy Weekend and a Liebster

Well well Monday, we meet again!

I thought I'd share with y'all just a few of the happenings going on 'round these parts...


I have my 10k this coming Saturday and I've been throwing out that I want a PR!
I'm shooting for under 55 minutes.
This past Saturday, I went out and did this
Boom!!
Come on race day!!


That's basically the only time I left my house this weekend.
On the real!
We played outside a good bit. (Can I get an A-freaking-men for warmer weather!!)
The "finger paint" is completely edible! Just vanilla pudding and food coloring.

But yeah, we went nowhere and I was A-ok with that!


Oooh, I also purchased my Operation Red Bikini bathing suit.

button
Well, hopefully...
If you remember, I already struck out once with a possible ORB option.
So, let's try lucky number 2?!?

It's from Victoria's Secret.
I had a "Secret Reward" card from them that ended up being worth $50.
(Holla for a Dollar!! I only ever get the $10 ones from them so this one was a treat!!)
It's got a sweet lace-like detail to it.
And I'm obsessed with lace at the moment!
The color is called "Aqua Glass/Tangerine" which translates to Mint/Coral in my book.
And I'm obsessed with those colors at the moment!
And, I feel the lace-up detail in the back is kind of sexy so this makes it mama's sexified one piece!
Oh, and I'm obsessed with lacing up my running shoes at the moment!
So, this suit was practically made for me.
Although, it said it wouldn't ship until June 18th.
So, I guess it was made for everyone else as well...
Here's hoping it comes in sooner and that it looks fabulous!!


The gorgeous and sweet Meredith over at My Own Little World nominated me for a Liebster! 
For the longest time Meredith looked so familiar to me...
Then it hit me who she looked like....
Brad Goreski from "It's a Brad Brad World" assistant, Lindsay
Both are totes adorable!! 
Anyway...here are my answers to Meredith's questions!

1. Where were you born and raised? Chambersburg, PA. I was dying to leave when I was 22 and now I'm dying to move back!! It's a great little town and I didn't realize or appreciate that when I was younger!!
 
2. Any siblings? Birth order? 2!! An older sister, Shannon (<-- check out her blog!!) and a younger brother, Kellen. (Can I get a "heeeeeey" from all my middle child peeps. Wassup?!?) They're seriously 2 of my best friends!! We are super close and I love it! 

 
3. Do you drink alcohol? What kind do you prefer? I do. But it's usually few and far between these days. And that is primarily due to the calories! Oh, and cos I'm old as Eff and throw up every.single.time. I'm typically a beer whore girl, with an occasional wine for when I'm feeling classy! But, for when I'm feeling sassy, I've been known to order a Gin and Tonic or Malibu and Cranberry! (that's a total sissy drink, but totally tasty!)
 

4. What is your religion? Christian
 
5. Do you have any pets? Nope! Husband doesn't want any and I can't deal when they die. I do really really want a chocolate lab some time in my life. I'd much rather rescue one that's older rather than start off with a puppy.

 
6. Are you an earlybird or night owl? Earlybird with coffee!!


7. What is your favorite item of clothing? Probably my American Eagle jeans. I don't remember the last time I bought a pair from there cos they have seriously lasted me years and years and years! Yes, even through all the years of up and down with my weight. I've got pairs from there from a size 6 - 12. I just love the way they fit me!


8. Do you have a celebrity "free pass?" LUKE BRYAN!!! ...in case you missed this post!


9. What is your occupation? Medical Billing - exciting, no?!? But I actually am really happy with my current occupation situation! I only go into the office 2 days a week and work from home the rest. Love being with my baby so much!!

 
10. Where is your favorite vacation spot? Hmmm, probably Nags Head, North Carolina! It's a lovely beach area that never gets overcrowded and there's no commercialized boardwalk. It's all beach houses and hotels but there's plenty to do all along the main strip of road that goes along the beach. I've been to many spots/areas in Nags Head and I've loved every single area!
 

11. What is your original hair color? What you see is what you get!! I don't dye my hair. I know I won't take the time nor have the money to keep up with it like it should be! But I always covet a dark caramel chocolate color for fall time! and I'm really intrigued by ombre hair...

Ex(po)cited!!!!

Hey y'all hey!
It's Fridayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

I should be working, but I'm too busy checking out the vendors that will be at the Expo for my 10k next Saturday!!

All the races I've done up to this point have been on a smaller scale.
I am BEYOND excited that this race has an Expo!!
I may or may not spend my entire (next) Friday afternoon there.

Check out the full list of vendors like you care here and scroll down!
And allow me to just highlight on a few I'm SOOOO incredibly excited about!

Bondi Bands
Oh Em Geeeeeee!!!
I just recently started seeing these bands and upon first observation I didn't get their point.
Common sense much, Kyra?!?!
But now that it's getting warmer (Thank you, Sweet Jesus!) my sweat be drippin in my eyes and that shiz BURNS!! (<-- Sounds like the start of a good rap song, no?!?)
Now, my current #firstworldproblems for Miss Indecisive herself is picking one out!
At $8.00 a pop, I'll definitely be getting at least 2.
But I can't decide which I love most.
Here are a few hundred of my top picks!
 This one is probably a definite!!

Then I can't decide from these 8!
 I love saying "suck it up" and I love cupcakes.
A tiara?!?! Seriously, that's priceless!
The last 2 I just really really dig!
 "13.1 only half crazy"...perfection!
The Union Jack flag....my grandparents are British, so I'm a sucker for a union jack.
I think the last 2 are cute...they're not front runners.

Tell me your fave(s), loves!!
I need help/support/guidance in making decisions!
(my husband LOVES this about me!!)


Brooks
My plan here is to schmooze with the reps and pray, plead, beg throw out that I have a blog and have been known to sing Brooks' praise!!
Please, Mr. Representative, send me anything, I'll love it, review it, and sell the shit out of it!!


And here are a few vendors I don't know much about but want to check out to get a better idea!
Hippie Runner (they have forehead headbands too, and cheaper than Bondi Bands...$7 a pop...but less of a selection)
ifitness Inc.
Martin's (a local grocery store in Richmond, VA...hello?!? I'll take coupons!)
OrthoVirginia (let's talk injury, folks!)
Richmond Flying Squirrels (cheap ticket hookup, perhaps for the local very minor league baseball team??)
Richmond Road Runner's Club (sure I'd love to be in the know of all Richmond races!)
Spinal Correction (what can you do for my hips?!?)
Subway (um, duh?!?!?!?)
The Luekemia & Lymphoma Society (my little cousin is a Leukemia SURVIVOR and I want to hear what these people are about!!)
Yurbuds Sport Earphones



Also, I can't forget all my favorite fine females that are doing the GO! Half Marathon in STL.
To say there are a few of us that are TOTES jealous that we can't be there is the understatment of the year!
If you don't, follow them on Instagram to wish them extra EXTRA love and luck this Sunday!!
Holly (@hollystanfield)
Mel (@missmel_joy)
Kim (@kbgilmore3)
Laura (@walkinginmemphishighheels)
Marcia (@yeartwentynine)
Meredith (@mereyrae)
Lora (@mrsloyoung)
Courtney (@courtnorm)
I hope I didn't miss anyone!!
Have a blast, y'all I really really REALLY wish I could be there to run it too!

Have a Fantastic Friday, y'all!!

[It's about time for] An Easter Recap

Yes, I know I'm a little late to the Easter recapping party.
But I wanted to have my baby boy's 2nd Easter documented somewhere, so "better late than never"!
(man, I hate cliche sayings!!)


The 2013 Easter Hoilday started off with a trip to see the Easter Bunny himself on Thursday (March 28) night.
When we first got there there was no line whatsoever (Hallelujer!!!)
Royce ran over to the bunny and waved to him, showed him his ball and even touched his furry paw
I was amazed by how seamless this was going.
Until I placed Royce on Mr. Bunny's lap.
He immediately started reaching out for me and eventually went to crying.
But we managed to get a semi-decent one out of it!
Good thing Royce had his "a ball" there to comfort him!
If you follow me on Instagram (@kbeavtann) you saw my post about Royce's 'security blanket' being "a ball"
You'll see exactly what I mean about this in the rest of the pics too!

Friday night, we dyed Easter eggs.
We always dyed eggs for Easter when I was growing up.
It's one of my favorite memories/tradition.
Even to this very day, if we're at my mom's for Easter, we dye eggs.
And that's not because myself and my siblings all have kids of our own now.
Seriously, if none of us had kids, we would still dye Easter eggs with our mom!
Anyway, Royce wasn't super impressed which explains why we only dyed 8 eggs!
He'll get there!

Saturday we went to an Easter egg hunt that my mother-in-law does for her church.
It was a gorgeous day.
We were actually there from 3 in the afternoon to about 9 at night.
They did an egg hunt for the younger kids at 3, then we had hot dogs and what not for dinner and when it got dark, the bigger kids did a glow-in-the-dark Easter egg hunt!
Royce could care less about the eggs.
He had "a ball" in each hand so ain't nobody got time fo picking up Easter eggs!
At the Easter egg hunt on Saturday (#chicksdigme) on the left and in his Easter Sunday best on the right!


Sunday, we woke up and opened Royce's Easter basket at our house.
He got lots of candy, a book with different farm animals that have the animal "fur" to feel (he LOVES those books!), Mickey Mouse swim trunks and a Mickey Mouse tool box set.

We then went across the street to my in-laws for breakfast and to get Royce's Easter swag from them.
My SIL got me these 2 workout shirts. (Easter Bunny loves getting Kyra some workout/running swag!)
LOVE THEM!!!!!


I call what I wore to breakfast at the in-laws "Easter Comfy Chic".
But I decided it best to change to "Easter Pretty Chic" for church!

And just one last montage of other fun little Easter goodness...
I made that bunny bag moments before Royce's Easter egg hunt on Saturday.
While Royce was napping, I was catching up on reading my sister's crafty blog and came across this how-to post and constructed that cute little bag!

My in-laws bought some baby chicks!
When Royce looks in the box he starts barking at them....every animal is a dog to him!

And Royce got an Easter Bunny Mickey Mouse from his Aunt Rebecca.
I think I'm more excited about it than Royce is.
But tell me it's not super adorable!! (Especially when your son is addicted to Mickey Mouse Clubhouse!)

All in all, it was a beautiful holiday with my beautiful family celebrating our beautiful Risen Savior!

Weigh In Wednesday

button

Why yes, I have been gone for a hot minute.
I was too busy stuffing my face with every and any porcel of food I could find!
This picture was meant as a joke to my sister and our BFF, but it's pretty darn accurate of the past week!

But seriously.
Ever since last Sunday.
I have gone ape shit crazy with food.
Not caring one little bit.
And this coming right off my Advocare cleanse!
WOMP WOmp womp...

From 152 post-Advocare results to 156 last Weigh-In Wednesday.
To even getting up to 159 when I weighed myself Monday morning.

On the up side, I've still been running, so that's been the only good thing I had going for me.
Could have something to do with all the new running swag I got...more on that in a second!

Come Sunday (Easter) night, I felt like absolute death.
I had a migraine from hell and seriously threw up from my stomach hurting so bad.
After a week worth of terrible, horrible, no good VERY BAD eating, my body was pissed at me!
I knew I had to snap the eff out of it.

Monday morning came and so did that 159 on the scale.
I ate super clean and even got in 3 miles worth of speed training in the gorgeous 70 degree weather we had!
I am back on track and was pleased to see 154 on the scale this morning!

Could it be lower had I not binged like a biotch?
Sure.
But we all get off track once in awhile.
We all lose control.
We're not perfect.
The important thing is that we get back on track.
That we take the bull by the horns and say "Ahh nah, hell nah food! You ain't got shit on me!"
(Or something sentimental like that!)

So ladies...."I'm back in the game!!"
(10 Things I Hate About You...anyone?!?)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now, on to the sweet running gear!!!
I told y'all on Thursday that we were taking a little family trip an hour and a half south of us to hit up a Fleet Feet store.
Mama had put some miles on her previous Brooks running shoes and it was time for some new ones!
I highly recommend Fleet Feet running stores.
They're all around so check their website (link above) to find one near you.
The employees knew their stuff and were so freaking nice!
And I LOVE the sign they had in their store.
I assume it's their "mission statement" and it's perfection!

Anyway, the Easter bunny dropped some money and this is what I came out with!
#runnerswag
Of course the main reason I went was to get new running shoes.
Jeff, the sweet Fleet Feet employee that helped us (my husband got fitted too!) measured my feet, watched me walk, and looked at the tread on my current running shoes and told me what I needed as far as support and what not.
He brought me out a couple different pairs to try on and after all was said and done....
...I'm still a Brooks girl!
These are the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 13's (price: $110)
And I must say...since running with these puppies (started out in them last Friday) I have not had my hip/knee running issues that I was dealing with post-half mary!
Sure, I've been stretching the heck out of my hips and I know that's helping, but I cannot stress the importance of getting fitted for a pair of running shoes.
Shell out the money because it is completely and totally and utterly worth it in my honest opinion.
Come on, Brooks give me a job...I will sell the shit out of your shoes!!
Disclaimer: I adore Brooks. But not everyone feels the same way. Getting fitted for the running shoe that best fits you, your gait, your preference, your performance...is THE MOST IMPORTANT THING!
I digress.
...stepping off my soap box... 
 
I had been considering a foam roller and was prepared to ask a Fleet Feet employee, but the second I mentioned to Jeff that I was having some hip/knee issues, he said, "Oh, that's your IT band. You need a foam roller."
SOLD!!
Just a simple piece of lightweight, thick foam that you roll over to work out muscles.
They also gave me a little pamphlet with different "moves" for working different areas.
LOVE it!


I had also been curious about gels.
I love my Jelly Belly Sport Beans but I know a lot of people that use the gels so I wanted to give them a try just to see if there were any advantages over the sport beans.
My biggest drawback was that I didn't know if I could handle the texture of the gel.
Review: I can't!
I tried the "Espresso Love" GU gel on Saturday's run.
The taste was not bad at all, but I cannot get past the texture...BLECH!!! 
Totally not for me!


I've also heard Skinny Runner talk about Nuun.
A tablet you put in your drink to give you all the electrolytes but not all the sugar!
Skinny Runnner claims the Watermelon as her favorite, but after looking at all the flavors, I really wanted to try the Strawberry Lemonade.
It's not terrible.
I tried it out on my 6 miler last Saturday...
The taste is very distant.
Not overpowering, which is a good thing for it's purpose.
But I wanted that Strawberry Lemonade flavor and it was definitely lacking.
Like I said though, it's not the worst thing ever and it serves an important purpose, so I will continue to use it!
I now want to try the Watermelon cos a subtle watermelon flavor sounds delicious!


And just because if we spent so much, we got money off, I picked out this mesh, lace-detail Brooks running shirt that I plan to wear to my 10k in 10 days!! (The Easter bunny loves a deal!!)

Ok, I've "talked" enough.
Time for me to get on with my day!!
Hope you all have a fabulous day!!
