Five on Friday

O N E

This weather is ah-maz-ing!!! Love it! Not only is it 50 (feels like 70 after this hideous winter) but it is Friday and today was quite the day so this weekend is much needed!!  I loved driving home, sun shining, windows down (at least until I started going faster than 40), coat on the seat next to me, with my music blasting (not really blasting because I have old lady ears but pretty loud).  I had all my windows open in my classroom.  The air smells fresh and clean.  I love it!

Hit and Run 5K! I literally just signed up for my second 5k.  Last year we did  the Warrior Dash, this year, Hit and Run! It is pretty much WipeOut in 5k form! Can't wait! Both my brothers, my brother's gf, my dad, and Sean will be doing it with me.  It will be a blast! I guess that means I need to get back to the gym!

Speaking of the gym, I want to work out.  I truly do.  I want to be healthy and in shape but I also REALLY want to come home from work and sit on my butt.  Laziness at it's finest... I know the best thing for me is to get my lazy butt off the couch and into the gym but jeesh is it hard to get motivation sometimes.  What do you do to motivate yourself to put down ice cream and get into the gym?

I am a Carmex fanatic.  I always have 1 with me and leave a few spares around for when(yes, when because it is inevitable) I misplace one.  I tried using the tube kind but I am not a fan!!  I need to get to the store (Target was out of the stick...) so for now I am use Burt's Bees.  It's nice, it's minty, and it gets the job done better then regular chapstick but it is still not Carmex.

Budget.  Sean and I have been living on a budget for a few months now (I voiced my opinion on this a few weeks ago). It is working great and we are saving money but we have been trying to figure out how to incorporate some spending money within the budget.  We both have things we WANT but don't NEED and are not really sure how that fits within the budget.  If you have a budget, where do you include money for some fun spending??

Five on Friday!

This is my first Five on Friday! It is a link up created by the bloggers listed above! Any blogger can join. Basically, I blog about 5 random thoughts every Friday, shouldn't be too hard...

I really love my job.  I just ended the work week and it seemed to really drag on but at the end of the day I love my job.  It can be crazy sometimes (and I am NOT a morning person so I hate waking up early...) but it truly makes me so happy.  For example, one of my students came to school with a new hat her mom had knit for her.  I raved about it (it was REALLY cute) and two days later she brings me my very own! She made sure to tell me she told her mom to make it my favorite color purple! The hat is CUTE and I cannot wait to wear it.  I smile every time I think about my sweet students.

I hate our budget.  Kind of.  I love it because I feel like we are making an effort to save and better our future.  It is also so nice to know what money is coming out of our account and not see it slowly slip away because of mindless purchases (ahem, Target/Kohls shopping sprees....). That being said, I hate it.  My Kohl's card and red card are itching to be used on senseless items like another new sweater, socks (my guilty pleasure, no boring white for me!), and some of the amazingly cute home decor from Target.  I would love to log into Amazon and spend the $60.00 to preorder season 6 of True Blood because we are almost done with season 5 and how am I supposed to wait?  Our budget is good for us and it makes sense but sometimes.. I just want it gone!

Is it time for my nephew to be here yet? I cannot wait until July!  Yes JULY- no sooner please (sorry Court!)  June is very busy and I will be out of the country/state for almost the whole month!  My camera is itching to retry some newborn photos and my arms are aching to hold a newborn infant! I cannot wait to meet my nephew and see what he is going to look like and who he is going to become!

I guess it is time to go back to the gym.  I am not in shape at all.  My muscles just are not there.. literally.. I truly don't think they exist.  I want to try my hand at running again.  I started the "Couch to 5k" program a while ago and was doing pretty well but fell away from it.  I would love to run (actually RUN) a 5k in the fall. I also want to just feel healthy and good about myself.  It is time to get back on track!

I love March.  March is just fun! March makes me happy.  Sean and I are both majorly Irish ( St. pattys Day anyone?!?).  We had our first date on St. Patrick's day in 2006.  We began dating on March 24, 2006 (almost 8 years ago!) and got married on March 22nd of last year.  March just reminds me of my amazing husband and how far we have come! I just really like March.  I also can't wait to order the top tier of our wedding cake for our anniversary! No frozen stuff for us! We get the real deal! =)

That's it for this Friday!  See you guys soon! =)
