Currently reading: Lighten Up by Peter Walsh. Haven't been in much of a reading mood. I let my Odd Thomas ebook from the library expire before I finished it and I have a Neil Gaiman book half-read.
Current music: Hair bands. I'm in a total 80's/90's throwback mood. I listened to Skid Row the entire 3 hours I was walking today. Monster Ballads all week. Firehouse. I can't help it. Guys with long hair are just hot.
Current guilty pleasure: The TV. I've watched so much TV this week it's pathetic. BUT I make myself walk in place while I watch, so I don't feel too bad about skipping workouts for it.
Current drink: Usually water, but today I'm indulging in a Diet Dr. Pepper.
Current food: Chicken salad with craisins in it. Holy moly, why didn't I try this long ago?
Current favorite TV show: I was watching Orange is the New Black all week. Finished it and I'm off TV for a while, I hope.
Current wish list: A new employee at work. Our new girl quit this week. It's been hectic...
Current needs: New shoes
It appears that I have walked the soles off my shoes. These didn't even last 6 months, which is a total bummer since they cost me $120.
Current blessing: A gorgeous cool day. It was 56 when I got to the BDB this morning to do my long distance walk. I was chilly =)
Current outfit: Black workout pants, a "Yoga Girls are Twisted" tshirt, and yellow Color Run socks
Current excitement: Eye doctor appointment on Tuesday. I have hated my glasses since the day I got them two years ago and I am ready to ditch them. I'm even thinking about going the contact route. I haven't worn contacts in close to 10 years.... they dried my eyes out so much I couldn't stand it. Surely, in 10 years' time they've improved them.
***********
Things are fine here.... just trying to keep my head on straight with the craziness at work and all that jazz. My long-distance walk was 11 miles today, so that means the half-marathon is creeping up! I only have three more super long walks before tapering for 2 weeks.
We're going camping next weekend, so if I don't find something interesting to say before then, I should have some pictures for you at least! Our 11 year anniversary is Saturday. =) And yes, to celebrate, we're renting an RV at a park and camping - with the kids. Romantic, no?

Ha, I love TV and I'm not even ashamed :P
ReplyDeleteAlso, I am SO impressed with your 11 mile walk, I could never do that! I run half marathons and half my motivation for running as fast as I can (if not more)is just to get it over! I could never commit to walking for so many hours!

I love chicken salad with craisins! We have a HUGE bag of craisins, so I've been substituting them for any kind of recipe that calls for raisins. So good!
