The Life and Times of Lindsey Claire =)

And now, a very brief life update before I change and go to Fleet Feet. =)

This weekend, I went to Chet Lee's client appreciation event at Le Jardin, a local restaurant with a good atmosphere, good food, and a great mission!

While there, I got to know Scott, a retired pastor who recently moved here from Houston.  He was really genuine and kind and easy to talk to, which I was thankful for since Chettles was busy mingling with all the others who came by. lol

A quick selfie to prove I was there. lol

Last night, Sarah and Steve had me over for dinner - she made cheesy chicken enchilada soup, which was tasty and reminiscent of Applewoods' cheese soup!  ...It made me happy to see this on her door (the wreath Rach made me a couple years back).  I'm just using chalkboards now since my wreaths kept getting birds' nests in them!

Sarah and I both bought the same chalkboard, and she asked me to write on hers right as I was about to leave.  She only had a white marker, but it was still fun to decorate it!  All my creative energy has gone into writing lately, but I do like projects like this too. =)

She gave me a "ZipFizz" to try before my run today, and it was pretty good, especially for being the "pink grapefruit" flavor (she assured me she hates grapefruits but likes that, so I felt better about trying it)! =)

This = Monday night's run.  No hills, but it was super cold outside, and my water bottle was leaking and sloshing water all over my sleeve. lol

Other than that, our trial this week went away - huzzah!!  So I've been busy writing the first draft of my book, which has been cathartic and fun and good for me.  I'm feeling excited about the whole process of writing + editing + proofing + finally seeing it in print, whether or not it ever has many readers.  It will be a memoir with pieces of my life story and the lessons God has taught me thus far, (getting permission from anyone I name directly).  I have outlined 48 essay chapters... 17 down, 31 to go!!  I'm currently leaning toward The Faithfulness of God for the title, since I'm seeing it as a recurring theme in my writing, which makes me really happy.  Having the first draft completed by December is my goal, but that may be overly ambitious.  We shall see! =)
