Incomplete Weekend To Do List

My weekend to do list of 5 million things did not have many scratch throughs.  Although, I did get more accomplished than last weekend aka the weekend of "yes". 

Friday night I picked up an extra shift at work, then went home and crashed.

Saturday morning my bestie and I met at the park for a really hot, quick 2 mile run.  Then, I hit up the 9:30 CrossFit class which was a skill day.  We worked on a lot of core movements (arch rocks, hollow rocks, tucks) and ring stuff (inverted hangs, false grip, and holds).  After all that, we did 100 wall squats and 200 double unders for form, not time.  My calves are so sore from those double unders!

While at CrossFit, my mom had left me a message saying she was at Dillards and they had an extra 30% off all the sale stuff.  I was a sweaty mess, but cannot miss a deal, so my stinky butt went to Dillards.  I bought a couple of dresses and a few shirts.  (I have to take one of the dresses back.  I was so stinky and sweaty that I refused to try it on in the store.  When I put it on at home, it was hideous!)

Eventually, after a trip to Sam's and scarfing down a huge salad, I took a much needed shower. Another trip to the grocery store later, I made guacamole deviled eggs and watermelon margaritas to bring to a barbeque.  The margaritas were a little bit too strong this time around and we didn't even finish one of the 3 pitchers I brought. Needless to say, we ended up at a bar and the night got a little crazy.

Sunday was the usual: lunch at mom and dad's.  The evening was spent doing laundry, poisoning the weeds in my flower beds, cooking for the week (2 new recipes to come!), and watching Contraband.  Oh how I love Mark Walberg.  He is my ultimate celebrity crush!

Things still on my to-do list: clean my bathroom, create a recipage for this blog, return books to the library and get new ones (I'm now overdue 2 days!), make popsicles, replace the flowers in the pots on my front porch.

But this week's schedule is not nearly as crazy as last week, so maybe I'll find the time to get these things done.  Also, since Wednesday is a work holiday, I'm considering using vacation days Thursday and Friday to make for an extra long holiday weekend.

Workout plan for the week:
Monday- 3 mile run   slept through my opportunity :(
Tuesday- 5:30 AM CrossFit
Wednesday- 4 miler on the 4th! 
Thursday- SeeFit: Road2theCure mini competition at CrossFit
Friday- 5:30 PM CrossFit (and maybe stand up paddle boarding if I take off work?!)
Saturday- 3 mile run + CrossFit or 5 mile run
Sunday- 3 mile run


Who is your ultimate celebrity crush?  Did you do anything fun and crazy this weekend?

What I ___________ Wednesdays, Vol. 13

With all the chaos of Thanksgiving, I didn't make a What I blank Wednesday series post last week.  But it's back with volume 13....

What I Have On My To Do List Wednesday

1. Finalize my playlist for Saturday's half marathon. I'm about 45 minutes short.  Song suggestions would be greatly appreciated.



To all you full marathoners out there running Saturday!





2. Finalize my "outfit" for Saturday's half marathon, and make sure all pieces are clean.  It looks like it will be warmer than I hoped.:(  I'm thinking capris and short sleeves or even a tank.

3. Finalize travel plans for Saturday's half marathon.  I have gone back and forth between driving in Friday night or early Saturday morning.  As of now, we are going Friday night.  Being the detail oriented person that I am, I need to plan what time we are leaving Friday, if I will pick up my race packet Friday night or Saturday morning, what time I will wake up Saturday, what I will eat for breakfast, what time I will head to the race, etc.

4. Bake cookies for my handyman.  And hopefully, not eat most of the dough.  I'm way late on payment.  Hopefully, he won't send me to the cookie creditors.  (<---I'm so cheesy, but I couldn't help it!)



...in my own mind.

5. Bake cookies and scrounge up a white elephant gift for a Christmas party Saturday night.  This Christmas party is epic.  I look forward to it every year!  It's always themed and this year Santa is too tired for Christmas and taking the night off...aka a pajama party!  (Perfect theme for a girl running a half marathon that morning.) :)  Also, there is always a signature drink to match the theme.  Santa is having a night cap in the form of hot toddies...aka my favorite!  To top things off, my bestie is driving in from Houston to be my date.  I haven't seen him in months and cannot wait to hang out.

6. Finish decorating for Christmas.  I need to buy fabric to make a tree skirt and tablecloth, collect magnolia leaves to make my wreath, and find greenery to finish my tablescape and shelves.

7. Buy/craft Christmas presents. I love to wrap gifts.  This year, I even considered starting a gift wrapping business because I love it so much.  Having beautifully wrapped gifts under the tree just adds so much spirit to the house.  But I have zero.  I haven't purchased the first Christmas gift.  Oy vey!  Most of my gifts will be crafted, and the supplies are sitting in my sewing room.  I just need to get busy! 





8. Squeeze in a 4 mile run today, and a 2 mile run tomorrow.  My very last runs before the half marathon.  Yikes!

9.  Cook.  I finally finished off the last of the Thanksgiving turkey in my salad last night.  Now I have to actually spend time preparing a meal.  Boo. :(
