Things that make me happy

  • With the cold temps I broke out some hot cocoa this afternoon for the Keurig. Mighty tasty. Yum.
  • It’s Friday!! (nuff said!)
  • I finally got paid from editing those videos last month (it took nearly a month, and I got $1250.00. Momma made BANK, baby! I’m using some for Christmas and saving $400 to make up for the additional expense when rent goes up in January when the roomie moves out. Fiscal responsibility FTW!
  • I’ve had 2 weeks off from the PT job–its been nice to have a break. But starting Saturday I work 5 days there in the next 7. Money, come to momma!
  • I’m in a ridiculously good mood. I don’t know why. I’m not going to fight it, just embrace it. My co-worker said that must mean I have a new guy in my life. LOL, NOPE! I’m done tying my happiness to a relationship or another person. My happiness comes from me.
  • I got my package for the Virtual Christmas Story 5k run. I plan on doing that on my treadmill tomorrow since its going to be 15 degrees.
  • I need to finish Christmas shopping-in particular for my Tumblr Secret Santa (and start it for everyone else. Whoops!)

Have a wonderful weekend friends!  

3 for Friday!

Various issues have me up about 5 pounds…but those should go away soon. In the meantime I’m feeling gross. You know when you’re just uncomfortable in your own skin? That’s the feeling I’m having. Please go away soon. K. Thanks.

I finally get 2 days off in a row, but I’m spending tomorrow at Corky…so there goes that! Oh well. It’s fun and money!

Happy Friday friends!

Friday shenanigans at the Ocho. This is Lola. She’s a humane society rescue dog my coworker Gina rescued. I adore her.

My station is very dog friendly. People can bring pups in if they need to take them to the vet, or just for a visit. Not for an entire day though. But it’s nice when they visit. In fact, the humane society comes on every Wednesday and brings a cat and a dog that needs a forever home. We love them!

My coworker snapped this shot and I just love it! Happy Friday friends!

Good things on a Friday

  • First of all, it’s Friday!! Despite the fact that I have to work all day at the station tomorrow (we have the UCLA-Nebraska game, so I have a pre and post game show to run!) Its awesome that’s it’s finally Friday.
  • The weather is AWESOME. 70’s, low humidity, perfect almost-fall day. Yes please!
  • I had a great run this morning. (Always puts me in a good mood!)
  • 3 different people at 3 different times told me how good and fresh I smell. I’ve been told this before. I’m not sure what they are smelling…my hairspray, just my natural scent or the lotion I put on today (sweet cinnamon pumpkin!) but I love the compliments! 🙂 Made me feel good.
  • I curled my hair today. Always makes this girl feel pretty.image
  • It’s Husker Friday and payday (at both jobs!!)
  • And then there were these comments:

“Everybody’s workin’ for the weekend”

True story. I’m ridiculously excited about this weekend!

  • I’m off from both jobs! I need a break!
  • I’m going to Omaha to spend the weekend with my bff Candace. (and her hubby too)
  • We’re getting Thai food tonight (Pad Thai FTW!) shopping and just having some wonderful girl time today and Saturday. I need it.
  • She and her husband own a coffee shop so I will get a special non-coffee beverage. Love life.
  • Sunday I have tentative plans to eat Mexican food and ride bikes (not in that order!) with my friend Keith. It’s a frate! (friend-date!)
  • I plan on a run sometime Sunday. If it happens, good, if not. That’s okay too. Life happens sometimes.

Happy Friend friends!

Friday night

I ended up having pizza at this fantastic place called Yia’s-Yia’s…my friend and I went and had a great night. Then I grabbed some froyo on my way home. Now I’m chilling outside with a book and the great weather.

That is what I call winning at Friday night!

It’s Friday!!!

The weather is not cooperating with my running plans. The last 2 mornings I have tried to run outside, only to open the door to torrential downpours. Seriously. We are making up for a 2 inch rain deficit today. It thunder-stormed like crazy last night. Normally, I’m all for a good storm. There is just something so cozy about about a good late spring thunderstorm.

However, now that I have discovered my love of running outside, this sucks. I made it on the treadmill yesterday morning for a 5k before work! (New PR on my time!) And then due to the loud cacophony from the thunderstorm, I couldn’t sleep. It was also super warm in my house, and when I am warm, I cannot sleep! So when I didn’t run this morning. I plan to run at least 3 miles tomorrow, and another 5-6 on Sunday. I haven’t done a run longer than 3 miles since my half-marathon on May 1st. And I have a 5k coming up June 11th and a 10k on June 19th, so I suppose I should get my butt in gear.

I’m going to see the newest “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie tonight! Love me some Johnny Depp! I also plan on consuming some Junior Mints! Mmmm. Delicious!

Happy Friday, enjoy the day!
