Weekly Recap

 Sweet 16.  KU is still in the running, so we will be watching tonight as they take on North Carolina.  

We've been trying to get caught up on our shows also.  

Mad Men starts tonight, and sadly, we still need to finish this last season.

We did watch New Girl last night, and it was SO funny.  I love Zoey Deschanel.  It's definitely one of my favorite shows on TV this season. 

 My Real Simple from last month.  Not sure how it took me so long to pick it up, but it might have something to do with the books I have been reading.  This last month was centered on taking time out of your day for yourself.  To really relax, even if that huge to-do list is not done.  I am the first to admit that I am horrible at doing nothing.  Even when we are watching shows or trying to relax, I'm usually multitasking with a book or my computer.  It's so easy to push any scheduled 'me' time away, when life is busy.  What was life like with out all the distractions and noise?  It's almost impossible to imagine.  Finding this time is something I need to work on. 

 This weather!  Yesterday was spent outside with friends at their pool, soaking in the warmth of the sun.  One thing I know is that I love the sun.  I imagine that if I lived in a place where it was more cloudy than sunny that I would be a lot less happy.  I can't get enough of that vitamin D.

 I am wishing I could see two movies - Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and The Hunger Games asap.  Both of which are now out, but I still haven't seen them.  I am waiting a little bit, as to not fight the opening weekend crowds, to see the Hunger Games, and the other movie is on D's Netflix list, but has a long wait time.  It just can't get here soon enough.  Both are amazing book series.  Empowering women roles overcoming so many things.  After finishing both series, it makes me want to learn and master a self defense skill.  My friend and I were thinking about taking archery lessons.  Who doesn't want to be badass with a bow and arrow? 

To get back into a running/workout routine.  The pool time definitely reminded me that I'd like to tone some areas and get back into shape.  I am still running every one in a while, but I need to kick it up a notch.  I know what I need to tone (hips, thighs, butt) and just really need to stop making excuses... they are never good enough.  Looks like I'll be taking an afternoon run soon.
