Some life updates:
I have a toothache which is affecting the entire left side of my face. My eye, cheekbone, ear, and throat hurt. (Actually - now that I type this, I’m thinking it may be a earache, and maybe my tooth is a symptom, and not the problem itself. Regardless, it’s painful and I’m feeling blah.)
My work laptop is sticky - and no amount of scrubbing has made it...

After a few people I know mentioned they were looking to enter this race (I’m looking at you, Nat!) - I’m seriously considering it. Well, at least I was until I read the “How Hard is this Race” section of the website:
Not nearly as hard as trying to resurrect Pee Wee Herman’s career, getting a prostate exam by a former NFL defensive lineman, hosting the MTV Video awards...

Ten Random Things on a Thursday:
When reading a magazine, I’ll always flip to the last page first. (Even when I have time to read the whole magazine.)
Even though I’m nearly 30, I still make an “L” with my hand when I need to discern my left from right. It’s embarrassing, I know.
In a related note, I’m pretty bad at remembering which way to turn the faucet to...

True Confession Tuesday:
I obsessively check the progress of online orders - to see when they ship, will arrive, etc. Not because I’m eager to receive them, but because I need to devise a plan to sneak them in the house before my husband finds out that I bought (most likely unnecessary) stuff.

Ten Reasons Today Has Been Awesome:
I made it to work in record time, which felt even better, given yesterday’s mess.
I left work after lunch to do store visits. Driving around NJ (and not being in the office) on a Friday afternoon? Yes, please!
My work trip took me near a lululemon, where I bought a pair of shorts I’ve been lusting over (and they were on sale!), and a neon yellow...

Anonymous asked: Hi, TB! I thought of you this weekend - Lulu hosted a free yoga class ON Wrigley Field. You would have loved it. Also, my half is in less than a month and I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU DO THIS. Loving it, but damn, this is hard. Basically, you're kind of a big deal. I hope your calf is healing up well. & I haven't forgotten about you! I will try my best to send something your way in the...
