Best: I had an awesome workout yesterday. I finished W2D3 of C25k. It was a great run! Then I did some weightlifting with my husband. It was great! It was such an awesome day at the gym! I'm super sore today, but I still feel great.
Worst: We went to buy my husband's textbooks for this semester. We rented all of the books that we could. It was still over $600. Barf. Then we went to the farmer's market. We arrived a little later than usual and they were sold out of almost everything we needed. Boo.
Best: I'm having a best moment right now. Sitting on the porch watching the finches finish off the sunflowers. PIP of my view, but the klassy old motor really makes the shot lol
Worst; the tall guy who decided he was special and didn't have to go to the designated standing area/dance floor during the show Friday night. I'm old. I bought seated tickets on the riser so as to not deal with that.
Best: Spent part of yesterday with my mom and was able to get a few things checked off my to-do list.
Worst: I have an awful cold and can't really take much for it due to some medication I'm on. Also, I ran into Costco for a couple things and they didn't have any turkey bacon! I have been eating turkey bacon lately and am not excited to have to find it somewhere else.
Best: Took C to his first baseball game last night, it was the local minor league team. We stayed until the bottom of the third when it started POURING, but it was a nice warm summer rain. We got soaked, it was fun,
Worst: Found $325ish in fraudulent charges on my debit card. My bank is refunding me the money, but they had to cancel my card. This is the second time this has happened in the last year. At least I found it though.

Best--so much of this weekend was awesome. Yoga, my run yesterday, the dresses I dropped off to happy brides, damn near everything.
Worst--since my initial post and this, I got into a fight with dh. I HATE it when he asks me a question where, no matter what I say, I'm backed into corner.

Highs: the whole thing! I went on a girl's weekend to Blue Ridge, GA with four friends. The cabin was great, the town was adorable, and all the food was really good. We went white water rafting, shopping, out to a nice dinner, got in the hot tub, made smores, and went apple picking. Oh and everywhere we went, people were exceptionally nice. It was so great!
Low: I had take a 20 minute work call. No big deal given everything else above.
Best: Will be the small Phoenix get together later today at one of my favorite restaurants.
Worst: I decided to paint our little 1/2 bathroom today. So much cutting in, my body hurts and I am covered in paint. I felt bad asking DH to help because it was my stupid idea but luckily he is finishing the last bit of it.
best: hung out w/ brocom friday night; lots of patio coffee breaks; solo bike rides; shopping
worst: so much crap to get done. I move in 8 days and need to finish packing, sell the car, forward our address, try to sell my wedding crap and the furniture we aren't bringing, and say goodbye to everyone. I work M-F this week, too.

Best: H was able in town after 2 weeks of one of us being gone and it was our 5 year anniversary. It was beautiful and we made it to the beach both days.
Low: I was supposed to run a 20 miler this morning but it was already hot and sticky at 6 am. I made it 15 before throwing in the towel.
Best (or at least most memorable): finding a black bear on my mountain bike ride
Worst: getting caught in a hailstorm later that same ride, and finally reaching the car wet and cold to find it hail damaged. I hope the bear had a safe spot to shelter.
Low: Got a call from my boss that her boss is assigning me to lead a project that I think I will be terrible at. It's an honor, but I just don't think it's a good fit. But my only option is to make it work (Well, I could leave. But I don't want to.) and hope it doesn't involve as much time and travel as I think it will.

Low: spend Sat afternoon with H at MILs house helping her move things, with furniture, etc. she verges on hoarder and it made me feel sick to be there.
High: went to Seahawks preseason opener and spent today kayaking with my 7 yr old nephew. It's cool to see him dig it so young!
Best: went camping in one of our favorite campgrounds.
Worst: Absolutely fell in love with a camper. It would be a ridiculous purchase since we don't own a house or even a car that could tow it, but.... OH MY GOD I WANT IT.
Best: it was my birthday weekend, DH planned a short scavenger hunt which lead me to an awesome dinner with friends on Saturday. Yesterday I spent with my parents - and my mom made my favorite foods and send me home with 1/3 of the German chocolate cake.
Worst: started PT for tendonitis in my shoulder on Friday and it hurt all day yesterday.
Best: exploring our new town and all the great playgrounds and fun things to do. So many great places for the kids and our house is starting to feel more like a home as we emerge from boxes.
Worst: my cat keeps peeing in an area of the breakfast/ kitchen area. It is super annoying and gross. We've temporarily moved one litter pan there but no way am I keeping it there long term it is just the worst most public area for a cat potty. We have to get her to stop.

If you scrunch up aluminum foil and put it on the ground there, your cat will stop walking there. She may well find another spot to potty, but at least it won't be there.

RockNVoll, I think the weather will be fine by the time you get here. This was an especially hot weekend. Supposed to be back to the "normal" later this week. Have fun in So Cal!
Best: I rode my bike downtown on Saturday to meet a friend, we ended up hanging out and having drinks and a little food for most of the day. It was nice to be out of the house doing something, but also not doing anything strenuous and without a schedule.
Worst: It was really hot and when I rode my bike downtown I had an episode of something like heat exhaustion - couldn't catch my breath, felt sick to my stomach, pouring sweat, etc. It was rather embarrassing when I met up with my friend and could barely speak for the first 5 minutes. Thankfully I recovered and was fine the rest of the day, including the bike ride home, but WTF?
