My goal is (for at least this week) to go back to blogging every single day, Monday-Friday. I haven’t done this in a while, so we’ll see how it goes! I’m already cutting it close to the ‘deadline’ tonight, so I thought I’d do an old-fashioned ‘things that are on my mind’ post.
Right now I’m thinking…
// I’m watching Monday Night Football and the Bears are doing rather well (in the first half) – which of course fills me with fear because they have a way of screwing this sort of thing up.**
// Speaking of football – Ohhhhh the NFL. I’m glad that players are finally being held accountable for their actions by the league as well as law enforcement, and I hope this trickles down and college players are also held more accountable for their actions. Athletes aren’t above the law or the standards society has for all of its people – end of story.
// Once upon a time I was able to wear my clothes more than once before washing them, but this is no longer the case since everything I put on is immediately covered in baby puke.
// I’m pretty sure the doughnut I had this afternoon was both my breakfast and lunch, and this means that I probably need to ramp up my eating-nutritional game in a big way.
// I ran 1.5 miles this morning, and my lack of exercise continues to be a sore point for me. I really wish I could do more, but I’m sore and horribly out of shape and I still have incision pain. It’s really not very fun. Plus, I’m still not ‘clear’ to do ab exercises, but I will be in 2.5 more weeks.
// I upgraded to iOS 8 and so far I’ve only noticed a few changes, and none of them were that awesome. Also, I had to upgrade all of my apps to be compatible, which is never fun.
// Yesterday Tim and I went to a farmers market (in the Logan Square neighborhood) and the Taco Fest in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago. It was such a nice little family day for us! At the farmers market we bought fresh Honey Crisp apples, peaches, soup mixes, kale, tofu… and of course I had shrimp tacos at the taco fest and they were delicious. It was the perfect end-of-summer-beginning-of-fall Sunday.
// I’m very, very glad that Tim is back with us this week. There’s something oh-so comfortable about having my little family all in the same room.
// I wish all workout places (gyms, yoga studios, pilates studios, barre studios, swimming pools, etc) could be free so that I could belong to all of them and really have a great variety of workouts each week – well, once I’m back into the working out mode.
// I bought my first few bottles of essential oils last week and I’m very intimidated by them. Do any of you use them / have any advice or tips?!
// Looking at Clara’s skin makes me never want to go into the sun again. As much as I love the slightly tan look, I think pure baby skin is gorgeous.
// The Newsroom. We only have two episodes left in the second season and I don’t want it to end, especially since I know the third season is going to be the last one! UGH.
** The momentum of this game has already changed and the Bears are only leading by 4 at the beginning of the second half. SEE. I told you.
What’s on YOUR mind right now?
Cheers!
