Thursday Things

·I have to run after work tonight. It seems like every time that happens I’m having a stellar hair day. Seems like such a shame to ruin it!

·Because I’m ridiculous, I started giggling when I found that carrot in my lunch today. I’m 12. It’s fine.

·I got locked out of my (running) car on Wednesday. I had used my remote start to start it early, then went outside to scrape and leave for work. Apparently Ford Escapes REALLY want you to be safe, because the doors automatically lock when you do that. I had to get out to get more snow off my windshield wipers and discovered I WAS LOCKED OUT!! Good thing I have a spare house key AND my spare car key inside my house. Crisis averted!

·6 runs into my training schedule I finally had to run on the treadmill last night. The perk? I finally wore my new shoes! And the run was good. I’m getting back into better cardiovascular shape and running feels fairly effortless again.

·However, I know I need to lift weights. I’m not losing weight and I’m not going to if I don’t give up the illusion that only running will get me there. This article popped into my email this morning. Bloody Freakin’ Heck. I know what I need to do. And I just don’t want to. The struggle. http://greatist.com/move/running-mistakes-not-losing-weight?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=daily_newsletter_2016-02-02_mails_daily_new_header

·My hips and lower back hurt a lot right now. I don’t know if it’s because I’m getting back into a scheduled running program, or what. But I ache. I think I’m going to schedule a massage and see if she can work some of my kinks out.

·The emotionally unavailable Firefighter is still texting and snapchatting on the reg. The more that I don’t engage, the more he comes around. I HATE playing games, but it appears that’s what is going on. (shrugs) Whatever, dude.

·I’m going to the Ocho’s Holiday party on Sunday with my friend Keith who still works there. This is the latest they’ve ever had their holiday party—and it’s Super Bowl Sunday!

Have a great Friday Eve Cats!

GPOY.

I’m having a really good hair day, and you need to see it. Also, I like how the light hits my hair in this shot.

Busy day ahead of our annual winter board meeting in Omaha this weekend. We leave tomorrow afternoon and they’ll put us up in a hotel in Omaha (45 minutes away) for 2 nights for the meeting. Should be informative and interesting.

Happy hump day friends!

I really love my hair today. So you get TWO pictures of it! Lucky, lucky you. Pardon the scary face I’m making in the first picture. That’s just before I’m heading home from work tonight.

I got it cut and colored this weekend…the gray is gone and the dark winter hair returns. I’m in my happy hair place.

I ran to Target tonight. They had these cards. My parents have dachsies. I commend my restraint on NOT buying these!

Treadmill now as it’s freaking cold outside. Then a quiet night at home.

Have a good one friends!

My night in pictures:

I had a really good hair day. It seemed such a shame to ruin it with a run. So i snapped a picture of my perky ponytail before all was lost. I got my run in too. I Sent Becky a snapchat to prove it. Success!

Tomorrow is sweater and snack day at work. I’m getting a lot of mileage out of my ugly sweater this year! I also made peanut butter cups to take to work for my snack contribution. They’re easy, except I left them in the fridge for too long, now the chocolate is hard to cut. First world problems.

The roomie and I are chilling, watching The Polar Express, and enjoying our Christmas lights.

One of our smoke detectors is dying. Its chirps are driving me nuts! I can’t figure out which one it is! Argh!

Have a great night friends!
