Jeanne Salas came very close to having a scathing bio fabricated and posted without her approval. BUT...She stepped up to the plate, so here I present Jeanne in her own words. Ahem...Jeanne spends her 9-5 time as a Digital Doodler at SAS. And while she loves her job, she is constantly tapping into that entrepreneurial spirit of hers and trying to get paid to do crafts with kids and adults. She's can also be thought of as a part-time muse and 1/8th time executer of ideas generated from musing.

She craves chocolate and Five Guys Hamburgers when she is PMS-ing and is approachable, as long as either of those items is in hand. Jeanne's biggest challenge will be "fitting exercise into my day to day schedule." She is most looking forward to "seeing the cushions on my couch and computer chair fully filled out with no impression of my behind." She just has an old couch. The last time she was active? "My oldest child is 8, so 9 years ago. I love to walk and hike." I've seen her in some form of cardiovascular exercise since before Zac -- or at least getting punched while seemingly performing cardiovascular activities....or was that before Zac? Hmmm...We walked on Sundays for a few weeks earlier this year and left our kids to play in outdoor public areas, sometimes within the vicinity of substantial water without watching them, oh, really at all.

Jeanne is doing the tri "for my kids, so I can be active for years to come with them." Her stretch factor is a 7 since she's thought about it but hasn't actually done it. (Muse) Her choice words....OMG. She's my hero for this one as I can see each frame of the scene rolling before my eyes:

Foley: You said, "How are *you*?" I am not a "ewe," boy! A ewe is a female sheep! Is that what you think I am, boy? Where are you from... Oklahoma? Only two things come out of Oklahoma…
Foley: In every class there is a joker who thinks that he is smarter than me. In this class that happens to be you isn't mayonnaise?
Foley: Mayo I want you D.O.R.
Mayo: No sir. You can kick me out, but I ain't quitting.
Foley: Get in to your fatigues Mayo cause by the end of weekend you'll quit.

Mayo: Don't you do it! Don't! You... I got nowhere else to go! I got nowhere else to g... I got nothin' else.

Of course, I see Louis Gosset Jr. berating a young Richard Gere. I don't see Jeanne, disheveled ponytail strung in her face, standing up to Gosset, challenging the military to break her spirit. For those of you that didn't know (Elizabeth) that was from An Officer and a Gentleman. Whew! Big ol memories watching that one!

The first thing she's going to do after crossing the finish line is " Ask the paramedic if I really finished." Whomever is the first person to notice Jeanne's face is absolutely beet-red -- rest fairly assured that she's okay. It turns red when she ties her shoes. Jeanne, we may need to come up with some code word or sign if you're really in distress. And last but not least..."I moved to the triangle, from there it was just a matter of time. Brenda knows everyone." Not really. :-)
