Hey there! I hope you're all having a good week! You know the drill, time for this week's Thursday Thoughts! 1. Yesterday morning I headed out of my apartment for the half mile walk to my gym wearing shorts and a sweatshirt, thinking it would be the same temp as the past couple mornings. No, no. Lesson learned: check weather before leaving.
2. My parents are coming to visit this weekend! I'm not sure why but they decided they wanted to come visit Chicago (and my brother and I ) sometime this fall so they're headed up on Friday! We'll just pretend it's all about my birthday next week. 3. On Tuesday I decided to make this meatball recipe that I found on Pinterest. Didn't go so well
4. Apparently I'm the traveling queen right now. Perfect thing to do when you have so much money Not. Good thing I'm going places where I can stay with people! Along with my half marathon in Phoenix this January, I'm headed to Denver in mid-November to visit a friend (I had a travel voucher that was going to expire right after; HAD to use it!), I'm going to Kansas City for Thanksgiving, and then I'm going to SOUTH CAROLINA in March for a relay with
Lindsay and
Taylor! Yes, it will take a chunk out of my savings, but I felt like this was a once in a lifetime opportunity to not only do one of these awesome relay races, but to do one in a state I know well AND get to see some friends while I'm there! Win, win. 5. My dear goldfish, Neville, turned 3 years old this past August! Oh did I mention my blog turned 2? Yea, totally missed that one Anyway, for 3 years Neville had the same plastic rocks at the bottom of his bowl. They were old and gross. As a belated birthday present, I got him some shiny new rocks!
Yes. That was exciting enough to add to my Thursday Thoughts post 6. Any other Divergent fans out there? I am SO excited that the
third book in the trilogy came out this week! I'm trying to be good, however, and finish the book I'm currently reading before I start
7. Oh my goodness, has anyone tried the
So Delicious Coconut Milk Pumpkin Spice? This stuff is soooooooooooo good. I could just drink the whole thing plain.
8. I hope you all have a great weekend! I'm hoping for a good one: parents in town, book club, and just got a text from another friend saying she'll be here for a conference! Haha everything seems to come at once, right?
What's your favorite holiday beverage? Do you live near your parents? Do you have a pet?
