What I'm looking forward to

I'm a girl who likes a little variety in my life, so I suppose it's a good thing that I live where I do because the weather provides plenty of that. Last Tuesday it was negative 15 degrees, Friday it snowed 3 inches, and today we reached a record high 63 degrees. Thankfully it was gloomy and rainy, because if it had been sunny I would really be itching for spring right about now, but I did take advantage of the warm weather to wear my favorite maxi skirt and indulge in an iced latte, my summer time go-to drink.

Luckily the rest of my winter looks like it should move pretty quickly, as I get ready for an already jam-packed spring. Right now I'm really looking forward to our last minute vacation to Nashville this weekend. I wanted to squeeze in a trip, and this weekend looks to be amazing. We have tickets to see Carrie Underwood at the Grand Ol Opry and I cannot wait to spend the whole weekend in the gorgeous new boots that I got for Christmas!

On the bright side...

It has been ridiculously cold here this week, but I have managed to find the silver lining. I can honestly say that I have been more motivated to work out than ever, simply because a good work out raises my body temperature enough that I am no longer shivering. Pair that with the cute exercise clothes that I bought last weekend and I just may keep off the extra pounds from all of that cookie dough!

Sunshine!

It's sunny today and my mood is currently matching the weather! Granted I've only been up for about an hour and a half, so it's pretty easy to be in a good mood, especially since I had time to go to Starbucks this morning.

I'm celebrating today, celebrating the fact that its sunny and that it's Thursday, which brings us that much closer to Friday!

Too hot!

When I go camping I don't typically spend too much time inside of our camper, I can be an outdoor kinda girl sometimes! This weekend has been a bit of an exception - you see, it's 100 degrees (not an exaggeration!) and sitting outside in that is not an option!

This morning we chilled in the pond for almost 2 hours, and now it's time to soak up some AC, and do exactly what I had hoped to have time for this weekend - relax with a book!

Call me a wimp

Go ahead, I'm not denying that I am a wuss, but Zumba class in an un-air conditioned building when it is 102 degrees outside is not something that I'm up for. I chickened out. Looks like I'll be hitting the elliptical later - in the air conditioned comfort of my home. For now I am chilling (literally) on the couch and trying to keep dehydration at bay.

The silver lining to the insane heat, my husband met me at the ice cream store for lunch today. Gotta love spontaneous dates!

Optimism

Isn't it crazy what a difference a day makes? Yesterday was terrible, luckily I was able to attend a very inspiring Premier training last might, where I was entirely inspired by a group of very determined, successful women. Wow, this morning I woke up in a great mood, despite the disgusting weather I feel awesome.

I will say that it is 7:15 and my day had barely started but we'll see how it goes!

The sun is shining

Thank goodness for the gorgeous weather, because it just may be the only thing good about today. Now don't get me wrong, I love my job, but sometimes we all just have a day, the kind where you think it couldn't possibly get any worse, and then it does. This is definitely one of those days.

I'm looking forward to this afternoon only because it means the day will eventually be over. Honestly, in comparison to some of my other bad days in recent memory, this is not the worst, but it always seems like the worst when you're right in the middle of it.

I've got about 10 more minutes of my lunch break and I plan on fully enjoying the silence and sunshine!
