HEY OMG GUESS WHAT?????

Running Shoes Are A Girl’s Best Friend, by Margreet Dietz

I was interviewed for this book a year or so back, and spoke of both running for me in general and also in terms of dealing with and recovering from the bad fractures that prevented me running.

Wellllll it’s now available for download. Whoooo!

ETA: OMFGOAOMOSFMGOSDFGMSDFGKSJHZZZZZZZZZ I'M A WHOLE FRICKING CHAPTER, CHAPTER 20, ALL ABOUT MEEEEEEE!!!!!! I've been immortalised, LOL! Hahhahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!

^ wowwww Franks that is huge news. I can not see the chapter?
Hooollaaaa!! Well done girl that is excellent! Have you read it? Does it mention your fabulous legs?

FrankieP · Nov 7th, 2009, 04:34 PM

It's an ebook, costs $10 to buy so you can't read it beforehand. I had to answer a billion questions and she hasn't really 'written' the book but just pretty much put everything I wrote in there, hahahah! It's all just as I wrote it, with maybe a quick summary before each paragraph which I guess is more or less what the question was for that part, what I'm talking about. Maybe I just wrote too much. I haven't read the rest of the book to see what others' chapters were like.

Hi all!
Sorry I haven't been around much... been busy running errands and things before i leave tomorrow morning.. 2.40am to be exact.. grrr!
Went to the Indo Consulate on Friday and was amused to see all these ppl congregated outside the Hyatt to catch a glimpse of Britney.. lol

My bday celebrations have started! Had a fantastic dinner with some friends last night! Since I won't be here for my actual birthday on Tuesday, I was suprised with another gift from the BF this morning! A nice breakfast in bed and this little thing sitting on the tray....

FrankieP · Nov 7th, 2009, 11:23 PM

Happy birthday for Tuesday, Lisa!!!! I love your.. err.. safety pin? Hehe... is it a pendant? It's neat!

FrankieP · Nov 7th, 2009, 11:38 PM

Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G IF ED VRII Lens 3.5-5.6 G YYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Come to Mama, baybeeeeee!!!!!!! Got the oh-kay from Big Dan to get this in lieu of my selling the other two lenses and a bunch of other stuff to pay back the house money. Now I can take it to NZ. SOOOOOOO HAPPYYYYYYYYYY have wanted this lens for donkey's donks!!!!!!! The guy's giving me a free UV filter too because he felt sorry for my being poor... I asked for a discount but it's already $500 below retail so didn't expect a yes. But - WHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Now.. who wants to buy mah bagsies? Lol!

i_wona · Nov 7th, 2009, 11:49 PM

Franks - great stuff!

Lisa, that is too cute! Keyring? I love the finish on it and it's so chic and simple - my kinda thing if you decide you don't want it

Hope you have a grrreat time and happy birfday for Tuesday.

LOL @ catching a glimpse of Britney - after I watched Rove last week I did think about flying down to Melbourne to see if I could spend the night with the scruffy-delicious John Mayer. OMG he is my absolute number 1 all-time celebrity hot date. Coco, stop your laughing.

FrankieP · Nov 8th, 2009, 12:09 AM

Mayer? Ich! Dude. *shakes head sadly*

lisalovesshoes · Nov 8th, 2009, 03:34 AM

Hehe Franks.. when i first saw it, it reminded me of those big nappy safety pins! But yes wona.. it's a key ring!!
Thanks for the bday wishes too!

Frankie that's some serious camera gear you got there!
