House hunting

Well, for the past 2 weeks I've been searching for my own place. Now you might think I'm getting all fancy on you by this statement, but really I'm looking for nicest, terrible apartment I can afford. So far things are not looking good. If the rent is decent, by the time you add in the deposits and fees, it's an outrageous up front cost. Many places want me to give them $300 pet deposit and a $150 pet fee... uhg.. I did recently find a room someone was renting. They were looking for a 22-34 year old female in a clothes optional living environment. I felt this would not be an appropriate place to raise Gus.. that and the fact I like to keep clothes on this bod.

So for now I continue on, continually amazed at the weirdo's you can find on craigslist and hoping to find a good deal in a decent location where clothing is not optional. Maybe I have high standards and expect too much..

Here is a random picture I thought I'd share that makes me laugh...

 This is Gus "hiding" from me.. I guess he's not quite as small as he thinks he is..or as small as he was suppose to be. oh well

 

In other news, I am back to training. I am excited for the near future. We've been working on a revolutionary concept.... please brace yourself for this folks... actually using my legs to throw the ball!!! Wowzers I know... yea something that most really successful people do. It's time I get in on that train and throw reallly far! I'm also happy with where my strength numbers are right now and it is exciting to me as to where I can get them over the fall.

I hope everyone is having a good summer!

You wants em, I've gots em.. T-SHIRTS!!

Well, I had my friend, Billy, make me some shirts for Nationals. My goal was to get some printed and throw them in the crowd in Des Moines. Track and field fans rarely, if ever, get rewarded for being there and encouraging all the athletes so I wanted to change this. Plus, I thought it would be a great opportunity to introduce myself and invite people to join me on the road to 2012! It was so awesome to have people cheer and shouting for me to throw them a shirt of ME! I had some other people interested in the shirts so I thought I'd post pictures. They are $10. If you would like one, just email me here

Front of shirt.. and yes that is ME on the front!!

Disclaimer: I already have plans in the works for a more deluxe and visually appealing t shirt specifically geared for 2012.. but on second thought how much visually appealing does it get than my silhouette on the front of a shirt?!?!? I'm not sure when they will be available, if you simple can not wait or want both shirts, please contact me and I will get you properly fitted for your very own Abby Ruston apparel!
