High Five for Friday

high five for friday

Happy Valentine’s Day, loves! Here’s what had/has me cheering for this week!

1. Tonight we’re celebrating big – and avoiding crowds – with our normal Friday night schedule: pizza and a movie at home! We’ll plan on going out for dinner tomorrow night.  No matter what we do, I’m just happy we get to be together instead of apart like last year {insert collective audience “awwwwww” here}.

2. While we were hit with an ice storm, many people in our surrounding cities have downed trees as well as messed up power lines. With conditions like they were, G had a few days off of work so I was grateful to have him at home and not out on the roads. We were blessed to make it through the storm without any damage and to have power the whole time!

3. While we’ve been cooped up in our house, the Olympics {and Netflix} has given us something to watch.  Go USA!

4. If Valentine’s this weekend wasn’t enough, it’s G’s Birthday Eve weekend too! More about that on Monday – his actual birthday!

5. And to continue the celebration theme, two of my close friends will find out if they are having boys or girls this weekend! It’s so fun to share in this time with them!

Hope you have a happy weekend!

why you shouldn’t run in snow

Yesterday I was supposed to do week six, day 2 of my couch to 5k training, but with sleet coming down from the sky, I decided to stay in.

Today its beginning to melt but since I have zero experience of running in snow/ice, I’m going to hold off one more day and hope I’ll be able to do it tomorrow and finish day 3 on Saturday {the program has you run three times a week}.

In the meantime, I saw this video last night and it gave me a good laugh.  It reminded me that we all have accidents and never be TOO confident, especially if there are cameras around. Thankfully, if I do fall tomorrow it won’t be captured on the news.

Well at least I hope it won’t 🙂

ice, ice day-day

Shout out to Vanilla Ice for the help with my post title!

Today we have an ice day!

For those of you not in Georgia, its like a snow day, minus the snow. Just sleet that makes the roads extra icy and power a little iffy.

We haven’t lost power {thankfully!} so for us it’s just been a relaxing and watching Netflix in bed…
