It's the weekend and it's been a while since I've done some free writing for the blog, so I decided that today I'll be linking up with my girl Jaime of Love, Jaime.
So - here goes:
2:40pm
We just ate leftover Papa John's for lunch.
The child has been on the computer pretty much all day.
Yesterday we did a 5K and after that we were both exhausted. That gave me the right to order Papa John's for dinner AND for us to have the leftovers today. Possibly tomorrow, too.
But I did put a crockpot filled with veggies and veggie broth up at around noon in an attempt to make some sort of vegetable soup. We'll see how that turns out.
I added beans, as I have this dream of making a veggie kale soup - only I have no kale in the house right now and no way to get some. So I may toss in some spinach towards the end of cooking. Because I'm all about the greens ... bout the greens ... *you see where that's headed, right?
2:42pm
My dog is whining. Just one of them. He cries a lot these days. She does, too, but not as much as he does. He's getting older. It's breaking my heart - mostly because I know that the day will come eventually and I don't know how we'll be able to handle it. And I hate the thought of losing our baby. It's been hard enough to lose our feline fun-babies over the years. And this? This is unthinkable.
Even when I yell at him.
Which I'm doing more of lately, in that I have to raise my voice, because I think he's losing his hearing a bit. Which is not fun. Poor guy.
Pause.
And I just had to tell my kid not to drink all of the "chocolate soda" we brought home from the 5K. See, it was a chocolate run, which was great and fun and we got Ghiardelli chocolates to bring home. And this stupid soda that tastes like Yoo Hoo - seriously - tastes like canned chocolate milk that isn't milk. You know the taste, right? Yoo Hoo brings me back ----- WAYYYY BACK.
2:45pm
This should be my five minute mark. I should be done.
I'm almost done. I'm giving myself an extra minute because of the pause.
Or something.
I think I really just didn't have that much to say today - so this five minutes was perfection when it came to getting my butt in gear and my fingers typing.
I'm trying to do 3-4 posts/weekly to maintain motivation. I have a book review going live on Monday and I'm reading a LOT and my new Recipe Round-Up series has been kind of fun, too.
So, there you have it. That's that. That's all the news that I'm fit to write.
And on that note, at 2:46pm, my old man doggie is whining and crying again.
See?
I toldja.
My mom's dog is getting older. I remember the last couple of months with her other dog, Oliver. It was heartbreaking. These fur babies have a way of wiggling their way into our hearts and it's so hard to see them in any sort of discomfort.
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll blog about this Chocolate 5k. We had a Hot Chocolate 10k a few weeks ago that I did NOT do. I ran it a couple of times over the years and I just couldn't find it in me to do it this year.
They never sent us home with chocolate, though. Only a cup of hot chocolate. #lame
Yeah, I can not post that much a week but so glad you are going for it! And can't wait to see what you have coming up! Always fun!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sad I missed that Chocolate Run but I had another commitment on Saturday. Of course, I guess it's good I don't have all those chocolate goodies in my house now!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, I know you talked about a lot of things, but... YOU RAN A 5K??? I am in awe. That's kind of awesome. Mind you, I have no desire of doing it because I despise running, but it's still an awesome accomplishment! Way to go, girl. WOW. Just awesome.
ReplyDeletecongrats on the 5K! and mmmmm Papa Johns!!!
ReplyDeleteA chocolate run? Oh my, that sounds like so much fun. I may have to drive down and join you for that next year. I like leftover pizza better than fresh pizza, so I totally get that. I'm not reading nearly enough. You're inspiring though, so thank you. Hope you're having a good week!
