Last week's "Headliners"

I'm going to be honest and say I wasn't exactly a "ball of fire" last week. I've hit the point of just being beyond ready for Ryan to come home. We are halfway through this 4 week period of not seeing each other. Although throughout all this 18 months of training, we've gone much longer than 4 weeks without seeing each other - this time around it's harder. I've hit the crabby point.

I feel bad, as many of the people I saw this week probably thought I was a bore to be around - as I just don't have much to say about anything.

So as I'm preparing to start my work week, on this terribly windy Monday morning - I am going in with a new and positive attitude!

So here's the headliners for last week:
  • I think I am finally about "wrapped up" on my Spring cleaning. My "to do list" was rather overwhelming. There is nothing more therapeutic to me that throwing sh%t away!
  • I biked almost 100 miles this week! Every ride was either with the sunrise or sunset - which is so rewarding. Really starting to feel comfortable and "one with the bike".
  • My Saturday morning trail run was a major highlight of my week. The 1st 2 miles was straight up a mountain. It was a horrific challenge, but the view from the top made it all worth it. (Oh, and I also fell 3 times...)
  • I had a happy hour date with a girlfriend Friday night, which turned into 4 hours of us just catching up on life. It was relaxing and exactly what I needed.
  • Last night I went over to my in-laws' for dinner. My step-mother-in-law treated me to a bikram yoga class, which was really great. It was really nice to have dinner with family. Perfect end to a blah week.
What were your weeks headliners? I apologize for my negative attitude. I'm happy to greet a new week!

I am glad your time apart is coming to an end but I get home it's almost harder now that it's almost over because even a couple more weeks is too long to to without seeing your husband. I have gotten the same way with my Charlotte more. People are like 'oh that went fast' or make comments about how I made it to my year mark and that is a big accomplishment but I want to be HHHOOOOMMMEEE!

Last week was a complete blur for me. I am so tired today but am trying to push through. I think the exhaustion could be solved by getting some good news so pray that is the case this week!!

I can understand why you feel "down in the dumps" and I am so glad that it will soon be over! It sounds like you had some fun in spite of everything! We are super excited to see you this weekend and wish we could stay longer, but you will be excited to get ready for Ryan's return and that is good!

What is your color?

Green My favorite color ever! I have to control myself to not purchase too many green things. If I had no control, my house would be green. My kitchen would be lime-themed. With greenery everywhere. My bathrooms would be green. My bedroom would be green. You would all feel nauseated-green after entering my home. (So I don't have a green-themed home) Many things I love are green, such as: Spinach (I eat it a minimum twice a day usually) My weding color was green. (clover green) Limes (I have at least one time a day) Grass. I love the feel of grass, especially since I see it so rarely in AZ (except in my neighborhood that has amazing landscapers with grass-galore) Palm trees. Any tree. Christmas trees. I love Christmas Green Beer. I think the green beer on St. Patty's Day tastes better. My favorite color of eyes. When I was in 9th grade, I so badly wanted to get green contacts. But they made me keep my brown eyes. Diet Mountain Dew (my guilty pleasure) Granny Smith...

A weekend of the great outdoors

As I am preparing for my return to the real world tomorrow, I feel a strong sense of dread. As I won't have a weekend or free week for a long while! Instead of focusing on that.......I'm sharing a few snapshots from our awesome weekend! This weekend we were in Big Lake, AZ -- which is about 20 miles from the New Mexico border (just 5 1/2 hours from our house). (last weekend we were in Parker Canyon...which I will blog about another day) We camped from Friday-Monday, which was the perfect length of time. The temperatures were a great escape from hot Tucson. In fact...it was VERY cold at night. It was in the low 30's at night, 60's during the day. The trout fishing was incredible. Here's a few snapshots: Home Sweet Home for the weekend! Look at the giant tree I cut down!!! Wow!! (Okay, this was posed...) But...Ryan did teach me how to use a wood-saw! There were tons of dead/fallen trees lying around. So we cut all our firewood for the weekend! I felt very ...

One Confused Lady

Yesterday morning was packed with a session of cross training.....rushed home to shower and get professional-looking....headed across town for an interview.....kicked butt at my interview...."bopped" over to our house to see the progress of the build......headed to the "design center" to sign more paperwork.... (Side note: I cannot get over just how much paperwork is involved in building a house. Holy Hannah. And we haven't even closed !!! Iy-yi-yi....Those lovely people in history who got law-suit-happy.....God bless 'em.) Yesterday was a good day! So here's a little humor for your Thursday. A little thought. A little depth.....( A little cynical rant ) Afterwards, I decided to head to one of my favorite places to peruse.... Target. But my experience at Target was far from fun, relaxing, or pleasant. Just confusing. Loud. Crazy. Despite many screaming children-temper tantrums.... Which is common and un-escapable. Although screaming chi...
