Workout… meh.

Blog… meh.

Weed my flower beds… meh.

Fold laundry… meh.

Do basically anything productive… meh.

I’m in a rut. Now I won’t make TOO many excuses but I also won’t say I’ve been doing absolutely nothing either. I’ve been working really hard (like at the job I get paid to do). I’ve been putting in as much as I can into being a mom to a kiddo who has gone through a LOT of changes the past few months and also suffering from the never ending ear infection. And it seems by the time Mike and I settle on the couch at the end of the day we’re both cuddled up with our laptops and watching some Always Sunny.

So the sweating, blogging, and other stuff is falling by the wayside. I don’t mind letting that stuff slip for a while but I’m starting to feel antsy. Time to figure out the balance again.

But to brighten up the meh post here are some fun things lately.

Friday I saw Magic Mike with the ladies… lots of laughs and heeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyys.

I’ve been instagram modeling many morning outfits. Sorry if you follow me on the IG and you are annoyed by them. It’s cool if you are. I’m probably annoyed by something you do too. Let’s call it even.

Only a few weeks until VEGAS! Oh, I haven’t mentioned that in great detail yet? Don’t worry, I’m sure I will over the next few weeks!

Oh, and has everyone watched the preview for the new season of Dexter and The Walking Dead? Get. Jacked.

So I finally got my hair done last week… my fabulous stylist Lindsay over at Don Frank Salon had a cancellation and I swooped right in there and got the slot. As usual, I love her work!

I also recently purchased a curling wand at Target. I need some practice. I love curling my hair with my flat iron but I wanted to try something new. My first round turned out rather terrifying with the wand.

In super exciting news, I have a niece! My first niece! Evelyn Grace finally decided to join us last week and we are so thrilled she is here! Miles was very excited about her and liked to pet her nicely like he does with our dogs. It was super adorable.

I recently won free eyelash extensions from Chef’s Widow‘s blog courtesy of Christine from Skin Deep. I’m SUPER excited and have an appointment scheduled for later this month before my Vegas trip. I am always disappointed in my lashes and will go to great expense to try the latest and greatest mascara at Sephora so I’m so excited for this beauty treatment!

It’s a short work week! Sort of. I’m off Wednesday like most peeps and then took an extra day off on Friday to head home to the rolling hills of Central Ohio to visit my BFF from high school and her new baby girl.

Our plans for the 4th are pretty low key. Probably grilling out and a bonfire and a day of swimming on boating. Basically, perfection.

What’s your biggest beauty treatment splurge? Plans for the 4th?

Tomorrow’s my Friday! On real Friday I’m off to Utah!

Unfortunately the windy weather proved to be a bit too much for me on Saturday morning. Heather and I decided to cancel our group gathering and do our own thing. I hit treadmill to Run for Sherry.

I wanted to do a long run but still recovering from my cold I just decided to get in a few miles and not to push it. 3.7 miles later my head felt like exploding. Despite that it was a good soulful run. I thought hard about Sherry, her family, what sort of life she left behind. As a mom it makes my heart ache to think of children to lose their mom in such a way. It saddens me for a husband to lose his partner and best friend. I tried to reflect on the positive too, thinking that Sherry probably added a lot of good to this world and I can hope to do the same.

Just a quick reminder to my local NE Ohioans who like to run or walk – don’t forget we’re meeting at the Rocky River Metroparks at 8:45 a.m. tomorrow at the location starred below.

No matter how fast or slow, how short or far let’s all get together and honor Sherry!

Afterwards some of us are going to Einstein’s bagels for carbs and caffeine, I hope you can join us!
