Hey there,
July 4th weekend was a lot of fun! I cheered on one of my really good friends as she did her first Peachtree Road Race. This is a huge (yeah 60,000 people) 6.2 mile race held every 4th of July in The A. I did this race in 2011 and it was so cool to be at the race again watching many folks doing it for the first time, but a whole lot of folks keeping a tradition. Of course, no holiday weekend is complete without good Mexican food and some spirits. I know, I know, Mexican food isn’t on my healthy eating plan, but somehow it’s becoming the norm for the weekend. I had a refreshing mojito and then posed for the camera too! And, I caught the 4th installment of Transformers. This movie did not disappoint, big – loud explosions, evil villains, great special effects, and the cars and trucks!!! I love the Transformer franchise but I’m wondering when will they have a female voiced Transformer? I’m writing somebody about this, girl power!

7 Facts about me
1. Turning 50 will be my best b-day ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2. I would buy a handbag everyday if I could. Here’s my dream bag!
3. The Walking Dead is my favorite sci-fi show and I would love a walk-on part of any kind, zombie or survivor!
4. Ok this may sound horrible and I don’t mean to offend, but ultrasound pictures are creepy. I’ll just wait and see the baby when it gets here.
5. TV Commercials/Ad critic- somebody has to pay for tv shows but some commercials are really bad. Love any Coke commercial, the AT&T kids, and Macy’s Christmas ads. I dislike all ads for Kia Motors!
6. Is there a job for a shopping travel writer? If so, sign me up, my two favorite things to do!

I’m with you on your #6. I love to shop (for now window shopping as nada budget) and travel (same situation!) I’d apply for that kind of job too!
Hello Karen,
High Five on your race! If I could combine any job with shopping, I’d be a happy camper. Have a good one!
