Bright and early

I woke up at 6 this morning to throw on some walking garments and shoes and be sitting at the porch when Jerry were given domestic from paintings at 6:30. I desired to get a 3-mile run in earlier than it got too hot nowadays. i like the 3-mile runs, because they appear so quick and that they move by rapid. I clearly introduced my ipod with me nowadays, which I generally don't do. I got to the factor where listening to song or speak radio was greater demanding while running than something, so I commenced going with out; and that i got used to it.

a whole lot of humans question me about walking with an ipod, due to the fact you will be aware that i am no longer wearing one in any of my race images. I realize it's very not unusual to pay attention to them at some stage in a race, but I honestly find it a little impolite. There are heaps of spectators cheering at the runners, and i simply feel like it might be insulting to have earphones in even as they're cheering for me. additionally, i really like to listen to the sound of ft hitting the floor, and respiration, and i've overheard some severely funny and/or ridiculous conversations while jogging races. however that said, I do not decide the humans that DO use earphones.

After my run, I had to take the kids to their dentist appointment. I swear, the universe changed into making it very difficult for me to get there on time! about 2 mins when we left, I found out I forgot my coffee sitting on the desk at domestic--so of direction I had to show around to get it ;)  Then we were given stopped through a teach just earlier than we were given on the expressway. We were cruising for approximately five miles whilst all traffic came to a complete forestall. exquisite. We crawled alongside for approximately 20 mins, and on the the front, i was looking ahead to a huge 10-automobile pile-up because they reduced anyone to driving at the shoulder--all three lanes have been closed! when I got to the front, that is what I noticed:

nothing! without a doubt not anything except for a van and a few cones, blocking off the complete e-manner! while we got to the exit we wished, it turned into closed for construction (of direction) so we needed to take a detour. And sooner or later, we were stopped by using another train. A forty five minute drive ended up taking an hour and 10 minutes or so.

After the appointment, we needed to power proper via Sam's membership, so clearly I had to forestall in there! My children had been dying for lunch, so I let them get pizza. and i drooled watched them devour it with out getting something myself   Is it terrible to present your children slushees just minutes after getting their enamel cleaned?

i purchased some of the same old crap: Fiber One bars, cheese, batteries, chocolate chips, nuts. I decided to check out the rate of coffee there, because I observed that the fee of espresso has long gone manner up over the last couple of months. I advised my husband the day gone by that i used to be going to quit consuming espresso, because it expenses extra than my rattling wine does. So i used to be sorting out the coffee, after which it became like the heavens opened up and shined a brilliant light down while trumpets sounded... on THIS(!!!!), my friends:

MACKINAC FUCKING ISLAND FUDGE flavored coffee!! If there's critically ONE motive that God selected to have me be born and raised in Michigan, it become because of this on my own: Michigan (mainly Mackinac Island) is known for his or her fudge! a person at Paramount espresso is absolutely amazing, for my part, because i used to be completely sold when I noticed that. thankfully, it worked out to approximately $7/pound, which is ready $5 less expensive than what my "everyday" logo has become. So Eli nearly were given a concussion when I threw that bag in the cart and headed for checkout.

i used to be already jittery from my espresso that morning, so I failed to try it but. i'm able to give the decision day after today on the way it tastes. speakme of the following day, it's my Wednesday Weigh-In. and that i have to warn you, it is no longer going to be quite. probably horrifying, definitely. I suppose I ate my weight in ice cream this week. If these days was the day of reckoning, i might virtually be going to weight-reduction plan hell. however I promise next week may be exquisite!

Oh, and my internet has been going wacky the past few days. every now and then it works, from time to time it does not. The cable man got here today, and stated he wishes to send a person else the next day. So if you don't pay attention from me for some time, it truly is why.

Do you drink flavored coffee? What's your favorite? And how do you drink it? i like my espresso with 1 Tbsp. of coconut milk creamer (or 1/2 Tbsp. of half & half), and without sugar or sweetener. i'm absolutely great having it black, too.
