3.5 Things Thursday
This lovely little series is brought to you by my fellow Redhead Runner, Morgan!
One
I DID IT! I biked to work today. I conquered going down the big hill. It was scary and exhilarating and now I’m sweaty at work but I did it. Yahoo!
Two
I’ve been having a little (OK, a lot) of trouble with blog motivation lately. Don’t know why. That’s why you’re getting all these random posts late in the day because when I sit down to write a post the night before, I can’t come up with anything. Maybe I’ll become one of those spur-of-the-moment type bloggers who just posts at random times of the day. Hmmm.
Three
Eric is working night shift out at camp, where he has no cell service most of the time, meaning that as of right now I haven’t talked to him for 14.5 hours and have no idea when I’ll get to talk to him. This makes me sad.
Three.Five
It’s Eric’s niece’ 2nd birthday today! I can still remember when she was born and don’t know where the last two years have gone. His sister (Hi Cheryl!) is due with her 2nd baby any day now. SO EXCITED!
Happy Birthday Lena! XO
Happy Thursday! What are your 3.5 Things Thursday today?
Lena is adorable! Love that pic of you holding her. Is there anything more calming than holding a sleeping baby?
My 3.5 things:
1. It is so g.d. hot in my non-a/c’d condo. I have a wall unit but it just does not do the trick.
2. Could God have maybe created an 8th day and could it fall b/w Sat and Sun? I need more weekend and less week. My condo is a disaster. There are stacks of unopened mail. Piles of laundry that I am putting off doing in the hopes that my condo will miraculously cool down as I can’t imagine using the dryer in my heatbox of a condo…
3. I am exhausted this morning and my legs are tired. Why did I try to keep up with those sub-8 to 8:30 milers last night? Stupid mistake. Lesson learned – next time, I will see how fast they plan on running!
3.5. I miss coffee so much. I tried to drink a latte this am since I was dragging. back decision. Acid Reflux + caffeine really doesn’t mix. I thought I could outsmart my stomach. Fail. Lesson learned. ix-nay on the offee-cay.
Oh my goodness! How adorable is your niece!? I want to hug her and kiss those cheeks.
Three things:
1. I’m thankful for friends who are good at finance.
2. I have some IRL friends who read my blog now and it’s kind of scary. They all seem to be supportive (never comment) but I feel like I have to watch what I say.
3. I want to be on a beach right now.
3.5. I’d also like it to be 5pm. And blogging mojo? I’ve lost mine, too. It’s okay =)
One: I would like the sun to come back. It was out at 7 this morning – where did it go?
Two: I have been watched the Slice channel way too much lately. I have fears of outlaw in-laws and bridezillas!
Three: I made myself a pot of coffee yesterday and completely forgot to pour myself a cup. What a waste!
Three.Five: I haven’t been to the gym in a month and I feel horrible. I’m actually thinking about switching gyms, so we’ll see how that goes!
Cute post idea! I agree on the blog motivation…this week has been really busy during the nights, so I feel like the last thing I want to do is sit down and think of something to write.
1. The sun is finally shinning here today! The sky just dumped on us last night, but it’s totally blue and no clouds today. I’m getting sick of this rain!
2. We are having our first party at our house tonight…excited but nervous. I’m a perfectionist and hope nothing goes wrong!
3. I can’t wait for the holiday next week…crappy that it’s on a Thursday and I have to work again on Friday, but I’ll take a day off to get wedding stuff done!
3.5 Your niece is adorable!
Have a great day Amber!
1. I just gave big tours to 4 other community organizations this morning, which I was totally scared of but did it anyway, and now I’m riding the high!
2. YOU HAVE A BOOSTER JUICE. And now I want one!!
3. I’m nervous for the England game on Sunday. Bring it on, Germany.
3.5 Almost lunch time
Congrats on conquering the hill!!
I think everyone goes through a blogger slump/mental block every once in a while. You’ll get back into the groove, don’t worry!
Hahaha, I AM one of those spur of the moment bloggers. The only thing consistent is I TRY to post daily. (lately, notsomuch)
Hope you get your blog mojo back… Blog reading is not the same without you!
Yay! Congrats for a successful ride!
My 3.5 things…
1. I’m excited to see the sun so I wore a dress today. I love wearing dresses.
2. I love that I’m feeling strong for my marathon training. AND yesterday, I spent some time looking at various marathon plans and really want to find one or mesh one together that works best for me and my body, yet still pushes me to get my best time.
3. Manfriend’s birthday is on MONDAY! I have a gift, but I don’t think he’ll be uber excited about it since it’s not bike related. But I do love celebrating for other people…making dinner, buying him special things, etc even though he’s not really that excited about it. HA!
3.5 Yay for almost being FRI! I really am excited for my 75 mi bike ride, even if my bum is going to hurt a bit.
I was in a blogging slump for a while, but my mojo is slowly starting to come back. Sometimes, you just have to take a step back, even if it means a lot less posts.
My 3 things:
1. My will power failed me, and I ate a cupcake today. Oh, well! It was delicious.
2. My thighs are in excruciating pain from doing No More Trouble Zones on Tuesday. Right now, I hate Jillian Michaels.
3. My mom and I managed to make one of our meals last 3 nights. This is cheap living at it’s finest. (And luckily, we enjoyed the meal so much we didn’t mind eating it 3 nights in a row!)
3.5 Aren’t little nieces and nephews the best?! My nephew will be 2 in September and ugh, ADORE HIM! (But also jealous you get to do it a second time around. I’m still waiting for them to have Baby #2!)
AWESOME accomplishment on the bike! Next time, you need to attach a camera to your helmet, so we can take the ride with you! =)
1. I love heavy wind and rain storms … when I’m not caught outside.
2. I need a beach vacation like a pregnant lady needs to gain weight … only 5 more weeks to go.
3. I ordered a little something pretty for myself the other day … I can’t wait for it to arrive!
3.5 This weekend, I plan to watch lots of World Cup soccer, sew pretty things and read …yay!
Sometimes I have severe no-blog motivation… just randomly post! Sometimes those are better than well-thought-out posts anyway!
My 3.5 things…
1. I’m super stoked I got a new job … a post coming about that soon
2. I’m super nervous about turning in my two weeks at my current job. Even though it is for a better opportunity I still feel as though I’m letting someone down.
3. I ran last night for the first time in over three/four weeks and it felt GREAT…. def. what I needed to get back motivated for my olympic distance tri in October.
3.5…. is how many miles I will run on Sunday! (hopefully)
haha yeah I havent had good motivation for my blog posts lately either. Im glad im not alone though
Sporadic posts are always entertaining, don’t hold back
nice job on the bike-to-work! Was it worth the sweaty morning?
Oh man, Lena is CUTE!
My 3.5 things…
1. I’m BACK!
2. I found out today that B.B. King is coming to my little city in November and I am stoked.
3. I quit smoking.
3.5 I started running again. All I can say is…3 months of being nothing but bad can really do a number on the ol’ endurance!
my blog is lacking lately too! here’s to up & coming posts next week! *cheers!*
You rock! I am so glad that bike ride went well this morning!! Its summer, your blogging mojo is allowed to take a hiatus. I fully support the random posts at varying times of the day. It keeps people guessing and sometimes its good to shake up your routine. =)
That little girl is adorable!!
1) Today was the last day of school for kids – hello summer holidays!
2) I love being a teacher
3) A bunch of people are coming over to my house for the year end party in about an hour.
3.5) It better not storm again!
Oh my gosh! She’s SO cute! I can’t handle how fast kids grow up, or that I’m an adult who says things like that lol
My 3.5 Things:
1. I’ve honestly never been so sick as I was last night after my tattoo. SO LAME.
2. I was planning on going rock climbing this morning, because I thought my mobility would be okay, and I was wrong lol
3. I’m probably going to watch Millionaire Matchmaker all day instead
3. 5. It’s the first “trashy’ or “girly” TV show that I’ve pretty much ever watched and I’m really kind of proud of myself about it lol
Yay for biking to work! Boo for not being able to talk to Eric! And my cousin’s daughter’s name is Lena as well – so pretty!
