Hey there everyone! My last Thursday Thoughts before CHRISTMAS!!! This whole week has felt like a countdown to Saturday when I go home and it is just inching by! I am SO READY to go home! On that note, here is this week’s Thursday Thoughts!
1. A couple weeks ago I recorded a podcast episode with Lifestyle Accountability, it was really fun! You can listen here. Just ignore all the “um”s….
2. My apartment has been a mess this past week so on Tuesday morning I just went at it and cleaned like crazy! Feels so much better when I have all the clutter picked up and put away. Neville also appreciates that his water is clear and not green anymore…
3. My last night of Skeeball is tonight! I’m kinda sad… I really enjoyed this league but it was only 5 short weeks long. Tonight is the Championship Tournament. My team is in the “consolation bracket,” meaning we’re the bottom 4 teams… Hmm. Guess we aren’t ready to go pro?
4. This photo, via Kim, makes me really want a DSLR Camera. How great is the quality? And yes, this is from the Rudolph Ramble 8K this past weekend! Still waiting for official race photos, which will better demonstrate my pain and agony.
5. Speaking of the race, when it was over I had to walk home instead of jog because my IT band had really been hurting at the end of the race (running on snow was not the best idea). I honestly don’t think I have ever been so cold in my life. After a hot (so cold I couldn’t even tell it was hot…) shower I wrapped myself up in many layers and blankets. Check out these amazing fleece pj pants I got in the sixth grade:
6. Just in case you were curious, no, I did not win the lottery.
7. Last night Lindsay and I met up at Chriskindlmarket, a German market in downtown Chicago that’s open during December. There are tons of stands with food and some amazing figurines, ornaments and other crafts.
Lindsay bought this for her mom. I have no words.
8. I love this place.
9. Have a great day!
When was the coldest you’ve ever been?
Do you play the lottery?
How do you feel about hearing your voice recorded? (I HATE it – I couldn’t even listen to more than 2 minutes of the podcast!)
We played the lottery as a department at work. We all put in $5 and had something like 90 tickets. We won a whopping $6. Woo hop!
Or woo hoo. Stupid autocorrect.
Haha I think I like “woo hop!” You could start a new trend
This week is DEFINITELY inching by! Aside from the fact that I’ve been sick since returning from my trip late last week, I’m looking forward to end of day monday when I can close my work stuff and not feel like I HAVE to work for the next week. (I say not HAVE to because I probably will but the offices are closed). 😉
Haha, I couldn’t listen to my entire podcast either. I don’t like hearing myself!
Your apartment looks so clean! Wanna come over and clean mine??
I called my mom and told her I have an interesting, slightly phallic but tasty present for her. She was very confused.
Saturday is so close!
Ah! I can’t stand the sound of my voice either! Whenever I hear it on a recording I can’t help but think about how deep it is – it really doesn’t sound like that in my head! haha
I hate listening to my own voice too!! It makes me cringe every time 😉 It’s been so cold recently, I’m impressed that you were able to run the race and then walk home. Go you!
Linds needs to send that photo of the cookie to Cake Wrecks, stat!
I need to clean our apartment in a bad way. The end of the semester was not nice…its a crazy clutter! I’ve been relaxing all day as a way to “celebrate” but I MIGHT have to get a little productive. =)
I just finished classes for the holidays! I’m so excited! It was pretty cold here today (sleet in my face while I cycled to work did not start my day in the way I would have liked!), but it’s nothing compared to what you’re used to! Fleece PJs are the best!
yes we play the lottery from time to time 😉 waiting for the big day haha
love fleece PJs we have a few!
