The Cat's Meow

by admin on June 30, 2009

I think the funk has passed  :)   Or maybe it’s just because the workday is over? Either way, I’m feeling much better now. I don’t know why I have those days/times, but I hate just feeling blah for no real reason, you know?

Nick and I had a run planned after work today so I brought a tried and true snack

yog

1 plain oikos + the last of my TJs fruit and nut medley cereal. I am officially out of everything I bought from Trader Joe’s at Christmas! It’s definitely time for another trip and a huge cooler to bring it all back.

I got to break out my next coffeehouse book while I was waiting for Nick to pick me up! I’m already hooked into this one.

I’m glad I remembered to start this one because I got the next one from my sister for my birthday – I need to not read these too fast, though, because then I’ll just have to buy the next 2 that I still don’t have…

I was not in the mood to go running, at all. Like, not one bit. But the weather was absolutely gorgeous today and I knew that I would feel better after I went. And I did! Strange how that works, huh? :)

We ran about 2.5 miles, a little shorter than our normal route which was fine with me. My legs were pretty tight and Nick was sore from his bike ride yesterday, so we just did one loop around the park instead of the normal two. It was seriously the perfect weather today – blue skies, a few clouds, around 80, and a slightly cool breeze. I wish every day was like today. This weather is making me want fall because fall = college football! I’ve been looking at ESPN every day for the past week, seeing what’s going on in the conference and other teams….I can’t wait.

You probably know this already, but we eat a lot of leftovers. Some of my favorite nights to have them are nights that we run after work. By the time we get home, change, go running, get back, and take showers, I really do not want to cook a dinner. It’s nice to have something waiting for us in the fridge and tonight was no different.

We heated up the leftover pork, roasted veggies, and barley from last night, and I think the veggies were even better tonight! All the flavors soaked in and they were awesome and so colorful.

Eating this dinner was easy.

Blogging like this is not so easy.

She likes her lap time in the evenings, what can I say?

Do you have a pet? Do they run your life/household/everything?  :)

Our only pet right now is Roxy and she is definitely the Queen of the house. She thinks she owns us, not the other way around….but we let her think it! It’s totally worth it when she’s being sweet and cuddling. And how can you not love 13 lbs of fur?

Un-Satisfaction

June 30, 2009
sqtom

Do you ever have those days that are just blah? I think I’m having one. My oatmeal was awesome, my work day has been pretty busy, but I just feel nothing. Like nothing matters either way. Just “eh”. Maybe because I ate lunch and am not really satisfied? I packed an awesome lunch of sliced [...]

Isn’t it crazy how one week can be so different from the next? Last week, I was getting up early to do yoga and this week….I do not want to get out of bed at all!    I guess I’m resting back up after our fun weekend, but I have been lovin’ that snooze button [...]

I am happy to be sitting down! Today has been a doozy. Work was super busy this afternoon, just as I expected. I had a bunch of last minute things to get ready, copied, stapled, etc, that need to be mailed out tomorrow, so most of my afternoon was spent finishing those up and getting [...]

Ah…crazy Mondays! They’re already my busiest day at work in any given week, but 2 of my 3 supervisors are out this week so I’m doing some other tasks that aren’t normally mine. It’s just been nutso today so far. My oatmeal held me over beautifully, and 2 cups of coffee helped keep my eyes [...]

Monday Madness

Well, we mad it home safely.  Nick and his mom finished working on the spray skirt around 4:30 yesterday, so we packed up the truck and got on the road. We got home a little before 8 last night, unpacked the truck, and I headed to the grocery store to get the rest of the [...]

Slow to Post

Time just gets away from me when I’m not at home! This weekend has been a lot of fun so far, and I’m sad that it’s coming to an end. First, dinner last night: Nick’s dad cooked some pork ribs + beef, so I had a little bit of each. Plus 1/4 of a huge [...]

Workin' Hard for the Clothing

I don’t think I’ve shopped this much since the day after Thanksgiving!    We had so much fun today. First we hit up the Amish market – I got a bunch of stuff – some I needed, some I didn’t, but that doesn’t really matter, right? oat groats!  (heather, I know you’ll be proud – [...]

Finally Organized

June 26, 2009
purseorg

So, if you read my 26 things the other day, you know that I use big purses, all the time. I like to have lots of room for whatever I need to throw in there during the day. I don’t like having to cram my hand into tiny purses or take everything out just to [...]
