WILW

Wow... 

It's been forever since I've posted. 

I finally have a minute or two to relax, so I figured a post was necessary!

What I'm loving this Wednesday..... 

I'm loving that Thanksgiving is ONE week away!

I'm loving (and VERY thankful) that I have a garage and I don't have to scrape windows on these frosty mornings!

I'm loving a new drink at Starbucks -- Skinny Caramel Macchiato. Seriously, I've had it 3 times in the past week.  AND enjoying this drink in a lovely red cup. 

I'm loving the cooler weather.. Dare I say that? Yikes, with my luck the weather will turn ridiculously cold. 

Finally, I'm loving the new Studio Shape workout posted on mybarre3! Love these workouts when I need to get a quick workout in and don't have time to head to Pure Barre or BarreAmped. 

I'm also loving that I am finally running again. And I say that loosely. Meaning, I ran once last week. But it was a great run! Must start training for a half-marathon next year. If I don't make myself train for a future run, i'll never get out there and run! Eeek...

What are you loving on this lovely Wednesday? 

Davis for the Block

I saw this picture on twitter today, and I thought it was too funny not to re-post!

The caption with the photo was: "Who needs a weatherman when you have Anthony Davis?!"

Love it. At least this can bring out some humor with these crazy storms we are about to have!

My school was dismissed at noon today. And we didn't find out we were dismissing early until 11:15am. So we had 45 minutes to get in contact with parents and get the kids home safely. It. Was. CRAZY!!!!

I hope all of you in Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio and Indiana stay safe tonight! 

I will be stalking Chris Bailey on twitter and on his blog so I know what's coming!

Snowed In

Lexington has been getting hit with snow storms every single week! First, we had snow days in December before winter break, which was crazy enough. Then snow that ALMOST canceled my trip to Charleston. Then more snow in January.... Which has resulted in 10 snow days for my school so far. I have to admit, I LOVE waking up to the text at 5:30 am saying school has been canceled and I can go back to sleep. BUT I get sooo bored during the day. There's only so much you can do at home before you just have to leave and get out of the house. And the problem is, we will have multiple snow days at a time, it's never just ONE snow day.

One day I babysit for this little cutie and his brother and sister :)

We played lots of games, including the new xbox 360 Kinect. LOVE! Need this game asap 

And then we had another snow day.... So I did loads and loads of laundry.

And cleaned...

And spent the morning watching my favorite morning show...

And even hit the gym TWICE IN A ROW before noon. That's an accomplishment in itself!

And then decided it was time to get out of the house. I went to Target and let me just say how much I LOVE the new Super Save section in the back.

So many great deals! Found lots of workout clothes for less than $10!!

And then it was off to dinner at my favorite restaurant which my boyfriend, Ben and I frequent at least 3x a month!

LEX 18 is saying there's another storm heading for the bluegrass this week... I'm wondering how many days we will go to school this week. MAYBE we will make it all 5!!!

Have a good week!!

Sad UK Sports Weekend

This Saturday was a jammed packed schedule for the Big Blue Nation. Unfortunately it wasn't the outcome we were hoping for from either sport.... 

Saturday afternoon the UK football team traveled down to Birmingham, Alabama for the BBVA Compass bowl game.

I considered going down to this game because I've always wanted to go to Alabama, but it would have been too hard to travel Friday after my first week of teaching. And the boyfriend had to travel to Canada for business on Sunday. So that was a no-go on the bowl game trip. Sad :(

I'm thankful that we didn't end up going to the game after the final outcome. We did not play well, and I hate admitting it, but I think we needed Mr. Mike Hartline on the field for one last game. Hopefully Joker had a good 1st year learning experience, and UK football will be even better next fall!!

After the football loss, we changed the channel to watch the basketball game against Georgia. The first half wasn't bad and I thought we would be able to pull out a win. But once again, no such luck. Josh Harrellson, "Jorts," is still my favorite bball player this year, ha! (I think it's mostly bc of his ridiculous nickname!)

It was not a good weekend for UK sports fans!! Oh well, moving on to the big game this week, the National Championship! Of course, I will be cheering for the SEC team!

WAR EAGLE!

Tomorrow night, my friend is having some people over to watch the game. Hate that it's a late game, BUT we have a snow storm coming tomorrow, so I'm thinking (and hoping) we will have a snow day on Tuesday!! For now, I will be following KY Weather Center  and my favorite, Bill Meck at LEX 18 hourly to track the upcoming storm! 

Hope everyone as a good workweek!!
