Friday Bits

-- I've been so good about my workouts this week! Sunday, 4.2 run. Monday, yoga. Tuesday, 4.7 mile run. Wednesday, weights on lunch and yoga after work. Thursday, 4.0 walk/run (not feeling it, still got out there). Ideally today I'm going to get in and do weights on lunch again, and then take the evening off from working out and do yoga Saturday morning. According to my stat counter, I've burned 4000 calories in the last 7 days working out. You'd think I'd have lost more than 2.2 lbs in the last two weeks, right? Oh well, inches. Inches.

-- The lady that runs the boot camp that I go to sometimes with Hubby's cousin contacted me on facebook, because my neighbor applied for a personal trainer position she had open. He didn't know I knew her, and I think she only found out that I knew him because she checked him out on FB and found I was a mutual friend. It was awkward, because I don't know anything about him professionally. He's very fit though, and nice. So that would be good for him.

-- My jewelry from SJL Original is due on Saturday. Color me excited, like daffodil excited! :) I was super pumped when I checked my paypal account and realized I had a balance ... it's like finding $20 in your virtual coat pocket! Or $9.47, at least.

-- We need to bite the bullet and get Spencer a new bed. I can't remember if I've recently talked about needing a new bed for him, so if so I apologize in advance. Anywho, he's still in a toddler bed, and he technically fits in it but he's a very restless sleeper so he wakes himself up hitting the wall and things like that. We eventually wanted to get the boys bunk beds, but I don't want to get a single bed now and then have to get bunks in a year when Henry outgrows his crib. So I think Saturday we will be checking out the local Rooms to Go outlet, Big Lots, and ultimately Ikea to get a bed set and be done with it. Now I just have to convince Spencer that he'll like it.

-- *this* is the funny thing you were looking for in this post. So I was looking on Etsy to see if there was anything to get for Hubby for Father's day, because I'm at a total loss for things to get him. There is a personalized suggestion section which pulls his interests from FB to search for good gifts. Hubby's interests as listed by FB are "Fallout", "Dexter" and "Fringe". The first is a video game, the other two television shows. Well, it was fairly accurate for Fallout and Dexter, but it matched "Fringe" with a flapper dress, two necklaces and a very large white leather purse.

That was some kind of awesome. No? Had to be there? Sorry.

-- I'm doing terribly on my reading this month. I've been trying to read The Passage by Justin Cronin, and I recognize that it's a well-written book, but I just long to be absorbed and I can't get into it. A friend who is in book club with me said that she likes it, but it reminds her a lot of Stephen King. I can see that - I'm not much of a fan of his books either although I like the subjects. I don't know what it is, just not a fan (except On Writing. That was good stuff).

-- Please let today go by quickly. Work has been trying this week. I need another one of my mini vacations.
