3Gs: Good Humor, Good Times, Good Advice
Tuesday, August 17, 2010
When I say I ran all day long yesterday I mean it – literally. Ok, not actual running, although I did get three miles in, but I was on-the-go!
It started at an ice cream social sponsored by Good Humor and hosted by the fabulous Jennifer James of Mom Bloggers Club.
Jennifer and me
Don’t worry, I didn’t eat any ice cream – gasp!
But it looked absolutely delicious!
I did get to chat with some of my favorite local Atlanta bloggers and escape my usual Monday morning madness. Thanks, Good Humor!
After picking up the kids we headed to my mother’s house to celebrate my grandmother’s 87th birthday.
Isn’t she just fabulous?
G-Ma and my kids – I just LOVE her!
After dinner – yes, I skipped the cake – Husband and I had our first Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University class. Can I just say I’m so excited to make some changes? There’s so much valuable information in each session but one thing that really stood out this week was the quote, “Building wealth is a marathon, not a sprint.”
Now they’re talking my language. (Did I really just write that?) Just like running, you have to take your time and build up your stamina. Marathon running doesn’t happen over night. Neither does getting out of debt and increasing your wealth. But, you do have to start to be able to cross the finish line. Taking that first step is hard but it’s the only way to make it happen. Then you have to be patient and take things in stride.
Good advice, right? Definitely easier said than done. Here’s hoping I can sprinkle some of my marathon mojo on my checkbook, too.

It was great seeing you again at this event. That was a LOT of running girl. I haven't taken Dave's class but enjoy his books and had follow his baby steps. Rice and beans... beans and rice!
just stopping by after watching your vlog on lizziebtv. So cute. you did such a great job! & I totally know what it's like to "just get in a workout." when i was training for my marathon, i'd often run circles around my block. with 3 kids under 5 it was hard to get in my long workouts sometimes, but i realized 7 laps made a mile.... so i ran LOTS of laps!
Thanks forr this
