Monday Check In

Obsessing over: Navy eyeliner. My new green H&M flats. The OPI spark de triumph nail polish my Tumblr Buddy sent me—seriously, I’m addicted to it. My workout schedule for this week; the 14k is Saturday and I feel extra fluffy. I should work in at least one 6+ miler before Saturday.

Working on: Eating less, more often. I’m hoping that will aid in my “stop out-eating your husband at dinner” goal.

Thinking about:  The book I’m currently reading, “the perfect fit,” it’s sorta Bridget Jones meets Jemima J. I’m halfway through and not really impressed. I’d really like to go home and spend my afternoon reading on the couch with the Brun. We were busy with shopping and friends and workouts and such this weekend, I didn’t get to log any couch time. I didn’t even finish all the laundry. Oh, and I missed Downton Abbey last night because we watched the silly Super Bowl and I forgot to DVR it and I’m bummed.

Anticipating: Girlfriend getaway! I can not wait to get on that plane next Friday. I’ve already decided on a wardrobe color scheme and prepacked my bags. I spent some time at the mall hunting for a cheap-ish dress, but had no luck. I did snag some awesome jewelry though, which will be put to use with one of the dresses I currently own.

Listening to: Silence in the workplace. It is a ghost town here.

Drinking: Nothing, currently. I will soon fix this with tea
