#TBT to summer in the late 1980s when my big brother and I spent our days in the pool at my grandparents house in Missouri. #thatwaterisnotdeep #wecouldhavebrokenaleg #summer

Britney or Xtina?

Huh. Interesting question, since I haven’t really listened to their music in years, but I guess I’ll go with Britney. She’s been a mess, but if she can survive 2007, then she can do anything!😉 thanks for the question anon!

11 Things

I was tagged by the always awesome Matt at @nobodycaresaboutyourrun to fill this bad boy out. Since my blogging has been….sporadic at best lately, I am proud of myself for actually doing this!

1. It’s 2:00 AM and we are together – where are we and what are we doing? Welp. I go to bed early so….we’re sleeping. So you better not be snoring!! 😉 All joking aside, if I’m up it’s because I’m out, so we must be out with friends.

2. I play the “give me your phone” game. Open you music app and press shuffle. What will I most likely hear? A pop song. Or since I actually just did it, you would hear “Too Close” by Next. That’s embarrassing.

3.What is the most predictable thing about you? That I will find some way to bring up running in most conversations. Or that when 9pm rolls around I will want to go to bed.

4. Beer, wine or cocktail? Wine. Moscato please.

5. When you meet someone for the first time what is one of the first things you notice about them? Their smile.

6. What is the ultimate thing on your bucket list that you want to do before you die? Hmm, this is a good one. I think it would be marry the love of my life.

7. What is the stupidest thing you’ve ever lost your cool over? I was a teenage girl. What stupid thing DIDN’T I lose my cool over? For serious though, likely a dumb argument with my mom.

8.What will you be doing ten years from now? Hopefully living a happy life with my family.

9. You are granted one conversation with one deceased person. Who would it be? My grandma on my mom’s side. She was just one of my most favorite people in the world.

10. Mountains or Beaches? Beach. Not even close. Totally agree with Matt here!

11. If you could have one guilt free treat RIGHT NOW what would it be? Jr. Mints. I love love love those things!

Consider yourself tagged if you want to do this!!

I love summer!🌞🌞😍😍

There’s something very comforting about waking up before sunrise… You can just enjoy silence before the world wakes up.

Well I’ve hit a new low…

I just made rice in the microwave at work in my blender bottle because I forgot Tupperware.

Today on snapchat.

It’s crazy freaking hot here. Feels like 112º so I wore a strapless dress to work (with a sweater over it at work!) But I took it off when we walked to lunch.

There’s a street in my neighborhood that lines their yards with American flags from Flag day until Independence Day. I love it! So patriotic! So I snapped that pic on my run this morning while wearing that ultra patriotic shirt! It was 80º at 545am so that’s fun.

I got off work early and got a slushie and came home to my parent’s house for the weekend.

Hope you have a great weekend friends!!

Sometimes the Universe just nails it

Of course not everyone understands you, Melissa.

It takes crazy to know crazy.

It takes sexy to know sexy.

And most assuredly, it takes cool to know cool.

Yeah, uh-huh, alright –

Well that’s fun. This heat isn’t going to break for the foreseeable future. I’m not going to complain because the cold and snow is so not my jam, but this is just the AIR TEMPERATURE! Add in the humidity and it feels even hotter.

I love Nebraska. I love Nebraska. I love Nebraska. I love air conditioning more though.

This.
