Life Recap

I don’t know where the days, weeks, or months are going. I meant to do Friday letters yesterday but Friday escaped me. As did the rest of the week. And to be honest, I am being so lazy – it is 6 pm and I am laying in bed watching TV in my PJs. Happy Saturday!

I don’t really feel like elaborating on my life so I am going to do a quick recap in bullet form

-I do not know where the year is going. It is almost September.
-September = FOOTBALL and Kyle and I cannot wait. Kyle has already asked for spinach dip for the game this weekend.
-Kyle and I went to my company’s company picnic today. It was hot, but it was good to see everyone outside of work.
-Kyle dragged me to see The Dark Knight last weekend, the things I do for love.
-Tomorrow he is dragging me to the outlets up in Dawsonville. Of course. I have to drive. Again. The things I do for love.
-BUT.... I am dragging Kyle to spin class tomorrow! The things HE does for love!
-I have house fever. I have probably “favorited” 3 pages worth of houses on Coldwell Banker’s site and we still have like 3 months before we can actually start looking. And of course it is like the end of the world when one of MY houses gets marked as “sale pending”.
-All we know is that we do not want to be “house poor” and we don’t want to do the whole “grow into your mortgage”. Our real estate agent will probably hate me.
-World. I got it. Evidently there are only 52 weeks in a year, so my goal of reading 100 books in a year is a little lofty and unattainable. I am going to have to rework that goal. Especially since I will have to accomplish it next year.
-Gross Alert: I have a boil on my face. It is so gross and I have been stalking home remedies and trying basically everything I read and it is slowly going away.
-Kyle has signed up for like 99 Fantasy Football leagues and his 1st draft is tomorrow. I have officially lost my husband until the football season is over.

I really think that is about it. We have not been doing too much with our lives. We are both REALLY excited about Football Season and just hanging out.  I am counting down the days till I head to the beach. But until then, it is just one day after another. :)

 

 

three things thursday.

Oh goodness my life is a crazy amazing beautiful wonderful ride that I love and am enjoying.  I feel like this year I have accomplished ZERO when it comes to my running goals and aspirations, but I am a whole new and different person than I was this time last year and I have my friends and family and Kyle and coworkers to thank. 

1. Not running related: but I am SO SO SO SO SO excited for football season!! =)  But kinda running related: Football Season = Fall and Fall = amazing running weather so now when I want to run I won't be able to wimp out and say "but it is too hot....." And fall also = lots of fun local Atlanta races. 

2.  I am running a 10k this upcoming Monday -- Big Peach Sizzler.   It is my 3rd year running it and it is by far one of my favorite races here in Atlanta.  Truthfully, I love all things Big Peach. There is a small chance I may die.  I have not run 6.2 miles in I do not know how long.  But I think I am not going to run it for a PR but just to finish it and see how I am doing.  After all, I need to assess my fitness since I have a freaking half marathon coming up in October and November.  Are there any other Atlanta kids running this race?

3.  We had a foster dog that was amazing and brought so much joy to my life and to Kyle's.  She 100% interupted out lives for 2 weeks and our working out schedule and then she got adopted to an amazing farm in South Carolina and I cried and I cried and as I got myself together and was heading to Stone Mountain to run my phone rang and it was the dog rescue letting me know that "Kennesaw was not going to work out, she has a "cat aggression" so someone needed to go get her".  ....So we have this dog again.  And we are bound and determined to not let her mess up our working out groove since we decided it is for the best and we are just going to keep her.  SO, we're not the proud owners of two fabulous dogs! =D
