Let's Breath Easy!!

Since it is now weekend time I feel like I can finally breath easy! Maybe being away from each other for a few days will help with the Mono we have going around.

This weekend is going to be very relaxed. I don't have much planned so I will hopefully get a jump start of some homework and projects that I have for school this week. It is also suppose to be finally cooling off, well a little. This weekend we will no longer be in the 90s!! Which means that I can start running outside.

And now for a Funny Friday!


Don't you feel safe with these guys fighting for you?! I know I do!

Germs, Germs, and more Germs!!!

There are officially 16 people in my office these days (yes we have cut down A LOT) and two are out sick . . . with mono!! My work bestie just went home not feeling well and 2 more are at the doctor getting tested right now! How awesome is that?!

When I first started working here about two years ago everyone was sick and just kept passing it around. I did not meet all my co-workers until about 2 months into the job. So we take every precaution necessary these days. After we found out we completely sanitized EVERYTHING! I do not want to get sick plus honestly I just don't have time to be sick!

So I will not be allowing anyone to get to close or touch anything on my desk for about the next 2 months or until I know that it has cleared from the office!!

Is there anything else I can do to prevent catching it?!?

Happy Friday Eve!!

Wednesday Smorgasbord

When it is mid week you tend to lose your mind and it becomes difficult to form complete thoughts. So I have decided to to a little list of all the things I am excited about or looking forward to!

In no particular order:

1. Baby Time! Bunny's sweet little niece will be here in two weeks as well as our office baby, Jason. He will be arriving in about four weeks!
   
   
   
2. I found my Women's Running Magazine that I love but can never find a store that carries it!
   
   
   
3. I looked at my syllabus and there are only two weeks left of school before midterms! So I am almost halfway through the semester!
4. My first race of this racing season is October 9th! Only two weeks to go!
5. I don't have time to read but I have already added two new books to the list for when this semester is over !
   
   
   

Happy mid-week! We are almost there!!

Hello Fall!!!

Today is the first offical day of Fall!! Oh I could not be more excited!!

Here in Memphis it is of course still a high of 93 degrees so we are not quite ready to pull out the jackets and gloves but the fashion is one of the things I am looking forward to the most! I am loving the trend of the over the knee boots. There's a fine line between street syle and streetwalker, and this look definitely straddles the two. I have googled how to wear this look tastefully and I got some good pointers for any of ya'll that also want to try this look.

1. Don't get the ones that are half way up your thigh! Just slightly over the knee is perfect.
2. If you are modest wear them over skinny jeans.
3. Want to wear a skirt or dress? Choose one that is 1-3 inches above the knee. It shows just enough skin without looking like Juila Roberts in Pretty Woman.
4. Don't wear tight skirts or dresses.
5. Try leggings or tights under the boots with a long shirt.

Here is the look when it hit the runway:

Miss Kim Kardashian sporting the style:

So what do you think is this look a hit or miss? If ya'll say hit then I might have to go and buy some this weekend!

Are We There Yet?

Is it Friday??

I think Thursdays are the hardest days of the week. You are already tired and ready for a break but its not Friday so you know you still have another day to go. And today I am super tired!!

The middle of the week is really busy for me. Tuesday I have class and I have to leave work early so I don't take a lunch break. Then I go to class and come home and workout so that I am prepared for the half coming up. Wednesdays I do have a lunch break so at least I can have an hour off. After work I leave straight from there and go to dinner at church then Bible study and then choir which doesn't end until 8:30. When I get home I still have to run and do homework! Thursday is pretty much the same as Tuesday.

So . . . all that to say that I needed my fun Friday a little early! And I thought that some of you might need it too! So here is my early Funny Friday to wake me up a little and get me through the day!



I am sure this guy is happy that its fall and no longer flip flop season!! haha!!

Grad School Woes

I am loving school!!! I honestly think I would love to be a professional student. However, I am finding a few things about school that I am not sure I'm crazy about.

1. Grad students are annoying.

Heres a tip if you are that person in class who is asking questions because you think that makes you look smarter to the professor or the rest of the class . . . you're wrong. We just think it makes you look like you are not paying attention since the professor has gone over it already. And if you just like hearing yourself talk . . . news flash your the only one and p.s. you are dragging out class, so thanks!

2. I feel like I don't have time to run.

*I love this magazine*

I am training for the half in December for St. Jude. With class two nights a week and then church on Wednesdays and homework I feel like I'm having a hard time fitting in a run! But I do love to plan so I am sure I will figure it out.

3. No One Tree Hill

My class on Tuesday nights makes it impossible to watch the new season of One Tree Hill. I love this show and I have been waiting so long for it to return and now I can't even watch it. So to solve this problem I think I will be watching the show from Tuesday night on my lunch breaks on Wednesdays! haha!

All in all though I have a pretty easy semester, at least easier than it could have been. And I am loving it! I am so excited to continue and graduate!!

Top 2 Tuesday . . . Accomplishments

Top 2 things you want to accomplish before the end of the year

1. Run my second Half Marathon

I have registered for the St. Jude Half again this year and will be running it on December 4!! Last year my goal was to just finish and run the whole time. So the goal this year is to shave off some time. My time last year was about 2 hours and 30 mins. so this year I am going for 2 hours and 1o mins. I don't want to kill myself so I think that is a reasonable goal!

2. Be well on my way to graduating with my Masters

I have gone back to school for anyone who doesn't know. After this semester I would like to have a plan. (I love to plan things out!). I would like to know when I will graduate and have a plan of action for the classes I need to take each semester!

What do you plan to accomplish before the year is over? If you want to play along hop over to Taylor's blog.

Happy Tuesday!!
