I just got word from the CFP board that they mailed out the results on Friday, priority mail. So they could be here as early as today.

Please ask me questions to distract me (and NOTHING CFP related, pllllleeease!). I'm really, really nervous waiting for the news.

Probably something ridiculously comforting and fattening.

I'll pick dinner:

homemade mac 'n cheese from this Italian restaurant here
mediterranean gnocchi from another Italian restaurant
Prime rib from another restaurant in my hometown

dessert would probably be something chocolate like Godiva Belgium dark chocolate ice cream with flourless chocolate tort

Tell me about your favorite pet of all time.

Also, tell me a cute story about P.

On a scale of 1-10, how much do you like me?

How do you take your coffee?

Feel free to also discuss the non-benefits of marriage, if you'd like.

Did you end up getting a 6-pack before your vacation? How did you do it?

What's your leg workout?
What songs are on your playlist?
Do you have any tattoos?
Which of your family members should I hook up with (first?)?
Do the cows shriek when they're branded?
What's a good fall bag? (i.e. shop for me, I wear a lot of neutrals and earth tones and gold jewelry)

Going for a run, checking back in a bit!

Well I'm trying to vary my leg workout because I think it's important to change it up.

Sometimes I do a 10 minute yoga app on my phone. It's yoga for butt and thighs and it's amazing.

If I'm at the gym I might do something like this Carrie Underwood Leg workout:

Workout Structure: These lower body exercises are in groups of two; do 15 repetitions of each exercise. Do each group 2-3 times through before moving onto the next group. Prevent injury by warming up before doing any kind of strength training; 10-15 minutes of cardio should do.

High Knees
Sumo Squat

Reverse Lunge with Rear Leg Raises
Mountain Climbers

Pilates Side Plank with Leg Raises
Clock Lunges

Squat Jacks
Ice Skaters

Agility Dots
Pilates Leg Pulls, Facing Down

Songs on my playlist: lots of country, Jason Aldean, or Kenny Chesney. Anything that reminds me of summer: Drunk on You; High on Summertime, and Angel Eyes by Love and Theft because one of my guy friends says it reminds him of me

No tattoos

Which family member should you hook up with: Uncle Ad, but you should marry Cousin B

The calves do NOT like it when they're branded. They bawl (like make a baaaaing noise)

A good fall bag, if money is no object how about this Coach:

My favorite pet has probably been our old basset hound, Cedric. He was our first pet and even though he had a horrible basset stench to him, he was so sweet and loveable. He was actually really fast for how short his legs were even though he looked like a castastrophe when he was running.

Cute P story: the other morning I told him I was going to miss him that day and he said why "I said, well you're my MAN!" And he said "I'm going to miss you too because you're my GIRL!"

On a scale of 1-10 I like you probably about 22. You are one of my favs, for sure.

I take my coffee with 1/2 cup coffee, 1/2 cup 1% milk and Splenda. I'm a wuss and can't take strong coffee.

Non-benefits of marriage-I won't go there

Negative

I do a lot of ab exercises though so I have to be content with knowing that I have nice abs, but may never get a six pack. I do planks, side planks, crunches with a weighted medicine ball, pilates for abs, and lots of bicycle crunches (like 200 sometimes).

Aww! I love basset hounds. He sounds adorable!

(p.s. you're one of my faves, too!)

I love reading about the Pioneer Woman's two basset hounds. My mom got P her kids book about Charlie, it's pretty funny! We had Cedric and then after we had to put him down my mom got Bueford, another basset. He's cool too but definitely more selfish than Cedric. And he really prefers my mom to anyone else in the whole world.

Quick 2 miles and I'm back!

Have you tried the hip drop planks? Those are amazing for my obliques!

Thanks for the leg tips. I already do a lot of those but the clock lunges sound good.

Ooh love that bag but probably out of my price range

Are hip drop planks where you drop your hip to the ground on each side, alternating? I think I've tried those, they ARE really good!

Sorry! I didn't see this one!!!

Well depending on how much money you want to spend, I think that a great pair of dark denim boot cut jeans would really be worth it.

I also LOVE my flat boots that I got for fall. They're lucky brand and can go with black or brown. They were originally $200 and I got them for $100. I wear them with skinny jeans or leggings and I'm contemplating wearing them with shorts and leggings although idk if I can pull it off.

Another great staple is a nice dress that you feel great in and can pair with different things. I got an adorable dress for $45 at Nordstrom Rack and I've already worn it a dozen times probably. It's royal blue and you can pair it with wedges or heels, and do a belt or no belt, and then jazz it up with gold jewelry to make it pop.

Kind of like this, only in royal blue.


I also adore the shirts like this:

They're a great fall transition piece.
