Baked apples and doing all the things!

I had a real life Amy Poehler moment. Someone asked me where I got my pants, and I got to say "Old Navy!". And they were all "no way!" and I was all "uh, yeah. I know!" Totally legit convo right there.


Ok, that was yesterday, and today is today. Tuesday actually. I'm here, I'm tired, I'm hungry.

Run report

Monday night: 2.5 miles 23:54. Sweaty and miserable
Tuesday morning: 2 miles 23:06. Sweaty and miserable.

I'm running regularly. Not fast, but on the reg. See, I can stick to my plan...if everyone is watching and holding me accountable. And judging. Judging helps me to do what I say I will. Keep it up!

Doing these things!


You know what? I did a lot over the weekend, but there isn't much photographic evidence of it. You know I like to keep you in the dark. Or maybe I forget to take pictures of things. Something like that.

Friday night I had a partner in the kitchen for a few hours. This makes my heart so happy. I love to cook, but I don't love to do it alone. To have the kitchen alive with laughter, and good smells...oh what a happy girl I am.

I made dinner, while he made dessert. Epic. Dessert. How many of you know that I've never been fond of cooked apples? And how many of you know about me and vanilla ice cream? Well, I had both. Twice. And then some more the next day.

I KNOW it was amazing.  I was so in love with it because he made it, so that helped; but really, it has to be amazing for me to eat baked apples AND vanilla ice cream.

Upside down apple torte made in an iron skillet. By a man. In my kitchen. On a Friday. ....what could be better than that?

Saturday we did a little work function BBQ, then walked around the Autumn Fest. After sweating for a few hours we cooled off in Old Navy, hence the amazing aforementioned plaid pants.

A solid 3 hour nap ....mmmm... and then we watched The Last Samurai.

That's how I ended up being awake until 3am. Once the movie was over and he headed out, what was I to do? Cereal, Friends, and hair braiding. Duh.

Sunday we made a quick trip to the outlet mall so I could find yet another gown. Oh yes, I found one. :) I love gowns. I'll share a photo after I wear it. My daily hair wouldn't do it justice.

I have some co-garden pics to share later this week, and hopefully more running!

What did you do all weekend?

Running again, and doing all the things.

The clouds have parted, the sun is shining, and this curly girl is alive again. A very dark winter took me away from many of the things I loved, including blogging. As I mentioned in a past post, I went through a divorce in 2014. It wasn't a terrible divorce, or a lengthy, angry divorce. It was however a lengthy separation; 2+ years. When the final court date arrived, and the papers were signed, I felt a huge weight lifted off of me. I've taken some time since then to adjust to the thought of no longer bearing the label of 'wife' or 'partner' or 'companion'. I started that adjustment when the separation started in 2012, but it became real when the divorce was filed. Once it was final, the idea fit better, like pair of running shoes after a few miles. :)  You just have to wear it a bit in order for it to become part of you. Although my identity is not defined by my relationship labels, it is something we wear, and therefore should take time to be comfor...

That lost feeling, it must be Monday.

I feel a little lost today. Do you ever wake up and just feel...lost? Did I sleep last night? Did I imagine that conversation? Was it a dream, or a memory? Am I tired or not? I woke up shaking in the night, and I don't know why. I was too out of it to even try to understand. I feel like I didn't sleep, but I'm not exhausted. I could swear I had a conversation, or rather, a conversation was had with me, but I'm not certain. I really don't like these types of days. My mind begins to dwell on things that may not have occurred, and I get all out of sorts. I need some time on my yoga mat I think. To get my brain on the right track though, I had a green monster shake and some caramel macchiato almonds. That'll do the trick! __________________________________________________________________________ I had a long/short weekend. It was a bit stressful, and a relief at the same time. It's now created new peace, and new nerves. I'll tell you all about it o...

What's the future Wednesday, just give me cherries and tell me I'm pretty, and stuffs

Deep conversations with friends about the future Why do I do this to myself? I really think God puts this stuff on my heart so often because He is trying to get my attention. Why mine? I have no idea, and sometimes, I don't want to find out. How scary (and amazing, and scary) to think that He would want MY attention for anything. Gives me the bleeps, the sweeps, and the creeps. What do I do when I'm confused after talking to God for an hour? Consult my friend that is struggling to understand His plan too! God probably loves those conversations. I really mean that. I know He loves to see us talking about pleasing Him. But....we aren't so good at it. The good news is, He already knows that. It doesn't make it ok to just put Him on the back burner when we are unsure of our next move, but it does make it ok that we are imperfect. Whew! Recently we have been discussing where and upon what we should place our life focus. We, as humans, like to make plans for our futur...
