Time is Not on My Side

I have been busy! And not blogging as much as I would like. I have been working a lot and having a little fun.  Here is a quick update.

My 30 in 30: Whoa! Two and half months in and I have made a small dent in my long term goals, but not as much in the tangible. 

Food: I have done a pretty good job at sticking to purchasing only foods with less than five ingredients. I did find a new vegan protein powder I like that is made from less than five. So that was a success. However, I bough flour tortillas. I have no idea why. I haven't purchased flour tortillas in like three years. I guess a moment of weakness.

Exercise: Let's just say eek! I'm running a 5K tomorrow. TOMORROW. And I have not even thought about training. Well, no, that is a lie. I thought about it, but then decided to sleep instead. As for yoga and barre: double eek. 

Others, I am still not washing my hair often (I should really write a post to explain that), avoiding shredded cheese, using lots of sunscreen and actively looking for a dresser. So I'm working on it.

Like I said, I work. A ton. I am teaching two classes which makes my life consist of grading and prepping. But I have had a few moments of fun, so here is a bit of the fun that I have been up to since my last update.

 

I went back home for the annual Chilhowee Fair. It was a fun filled weekend hanging with my niece & nephew and a bunch of old friends.

 

 

You know those Buzzfeed articles, '19 Signs You Grew Up in {Insert City}?' Well, I think if there was one on Chilhowee the first line would be: 

'You get a bit of a rush when you hear, 'Step back and toss your egg.'

 

'And get mad when the announcer does not say those exact words.' 

I got sick one weekend. After about 60 hours of being cooped up in my house, I decided I needed to paint my door. I'm not sure if I love the color. It's okay from the inside view, but it looks uninviting from the street (not that I want to invite strangers into my home). Sorry for the bad pics.

 

 

I went back to STL for Alissa's 30th Birthday Surprise Celebration. We had a super fun weekend and saw Chicago: The Musical at the Fox. And guess who was in it? Paige Davis from Trading Spaces. Remember that show? She was Roxie Hart and was in-cred-i-ble. I could hardly believe it. Also - Peterman from Seinfield was Billy Flynn, which was also cool. But I really was stoked on my favorite TLC host.

 

I went home another weekend for a wedding. 

 

Although I have been driving a ton on the weekends, which I hate, I haven't been quite as annoyed because I get to hear Mitch Holthus announcing the Chiefs' games on my drives back to Springfield. And. We. Are. Winning. I can not tell you how many times I have jumped on my couch this season, and we are only four games in.
