Because a 21 mile bike ride on a Tuesday night would just be silly, right??😜

The bf and I went for a nice long ride last night. I was starving by the time we got done! This month we’ve already done nearly 60 miles on the bikes, and many more in our kayaks. We bought those last month and love them!! I’m still running, AND I’ve joined a gym that’s 1 minute from my house. So that’s pretty convenient. Running is happening…just not as much. And I’m OK with that. Running isn’t the only form of Cardio to be done. I know this now.

Have a great day, cats!

An update of sorts

Things have been quiet here in Melissa-land. That’s fairly unintentional. This past week was crazy, and marked my second year in a row of getting sick in the days leading up to Christmas. Hey body. We really need to work on that whole timing thing.
-I caught a stomach bug that left me nauseated for 3 days straight, including Christmas. That’s almost worse than actually throwing up. *Almost.* I’m finally back to normal.

-I found out Monday that my car CAN be repaired, and the check came today! Thank goodness for small favors! That’s a load off my mind. Nevermind that his insurance company called and they will not pay for anything as they have determined they aren’t liable as he had “established the lane” and I backed into it. I have full coverage. I should be ok, right?

-I’m off this next week. My wisdom teeth are coming out on Friday when my dental insurance resets for 2015. I’m kinda scared as one is impacted.

-oh! A little thing called Hanson’s Half Marathon training begins on Thursday! I’m scared. Brooke assures me I’ll be fine. I trust her. That means it’s only 18 weeks until May! And summer. And warm weather.

-I had a great Christmas. I feel spoiled. I love my family and friends. However, now My two least favorite holidays are coming: New year’s eve and Valentine’s day. When you’re single, both create horrifically unrealistic expectations in your head. I’ve had some epic new year’s…making out with a hot guy that I just met in a bar for hours..(No shame. I’ll own it) to spending several of them at Husker football bowl games, to chill ones with my two besties, to a fun night out with my best guy friend. But I just don’t enjoy the crazy feeling of HAVING to have an epic night, or trying to find a new year’s kiss. It’s stressful.

-it’s late. My huskers lost their bowl game by a field goal against USC. So I’m going to hit the hay and try to recapture last night’s dream that involved me making out with Chris Pine. (Sigh. He’s so dreamy!)

Happy weekend friends!
