Thursday Thoughts
Hey everyone!!! It’s THURSDAY! Which means that it is almost FRIDAY!!!! Yayyyy!!! Haha honestly I felt like today was Thursday all day. That’s what you get for starting your job on a 4 day week… Ahhhhh. Don’t get me wrong, I’m loving my internship. It’s just that I finish lunch around 12, and have 5 hours left with nothing to break it up. I’m really hoping I get asked along to a meeting or two today or tomorrow. It would be so nice to get away from my desk just for a bit!
Well, another Thursday means another round of Thursday Thoughts! Per usual they are all over the place! Some from my brain and some from this weekend’s limited pinterest browsing.
- How cool is this key!? If I actually had the ambition to do this, I would so cover my keys in glitter! Anyone want to do it for me?
2. I’m pretty sure the lawyer I share my office with must think I’m crazy. I drink insane amounts of water and am constantly leaving to fill up my water bottle or use the restroom. If I time it to do all that in one trip, rather than going at different times, I feel like I’ve succeeded at something…
3. I signed up for the Chicago Rock N Roll Half Marathon!!!! They had a $20 special yesterday for National Running Day so I decided to go for it! I wanted to do a half sometime in July/August anyway for my training, and I’m excited to be doing a Rock N Roll Race after hearing so much about them! Who’s doing it with me!??
4. Another DIY project! I love sampling different kinds of cheese (thanks to my mother’s upbringing, I spent more time in Better Cheddar than I’d care to share) and this would be a great way to remember which is which!
5. Tomorrow is a VERY SPECIAL birthday. Can anyone guess whose it is?
6. Yesterday I went on a 4 mile run before work and for part of it I wound through the zoo. The polar bear was out PLAYING. Yes, PLAYING. It was probably one of the coolest things I’ve seen. Here’s a video of a just a snippet. He was so ridiculously cool. And cute.
7. I really want to run a race in Alaska now! I spend way too much time looking at that map… Actually, I already have the goal of going to all 50 states (I’ve been to 30!), maybe I should do a race in all 50 states!
8. This is something I’m really working on! I see other women and think, if I were just that thin, or just that good of a runner, or just that smart or successful, then I would be so happy! But those things don’t make you happy, YOU decide to be happy.
Are you a fan of sampling cheeses?
Do you find yourself putting others on a pedestal and comparing yourself?
Tomorrow is my birthday too!!! Yay for June 8th!!
Happy almost birthday!
You too! I’ll give you a happy birthday shout out on my blog tomorrow 🙂
It’s not my birthday!!!!
That key is so cute! Love it!
And I looove cheese!
Haha who doesn’t?!
over the years, I have learnt I am happiest when I don’t compare myself to others 🙂 it takes A LOT of practice, but I’ve been quite successful 🙂
I love that DIY project! LOVE!
Is it YOUR birthday?? 😉 I’m a June baby too!
Nope, not my birthday!
Love that key! And I totally compare myself to others. It’s something that I definitely need to work on! YAY for birthdays 😀
I wish I had a craft store near by, then I might actually do that to my key!
I love cheese! Probably too much, it’s my biggest food weakness 🙂 Happy early birthday!
It’s not my birthday!!!
30 states?? Wowza! I’ll have 6 of the 50 states down by the end of this year….long way to go! Which has been your favorite so far?
That’s a really hard one… Probably FL? But I loved SC too! And CO! Ahhh too hard.
i used to compare myself to other women a LOT! i still catch myself doing it from time to time, but i’ve gotten better at it in the past year or so. i love that quote! and is tomorrow YOUR birthday?!?!?
Nope! My birthday is in October! Haha look at my Facebook!
Love that glitter key!! I so want to try it 🙂
I’m guessing tomorrow is either your birthday or (and this was my first though) Molly’s birthday!
That would be so cool to do a race in Alaska! I’ve been twice and it’s one of my favorite places. I can’t wait to go back!
Ahhhhh I’m so jealous that you’ve been to Alaska!
A compare way too often and it is certainly not happy. Love cheese and I love that idea. I also saw painting pots that chalkboard paint and then you can label what the plants or seeds are.
Ooo I like the pot idea!
I saw that key on pinterest and I’m totally going to try to do it for my new house key!
I hope it turns out well!
Love trying out new cheeses. And I can’t believe you get to run through a zoo-Chicago is pretty cool 🙂
There are several entrances and the zoo is free! I love it!
ahh love the polar bear! so cute!
I know, how cool is he?!
I really love that chalkboard cheese tray idea!! That would make a great gift too 🙂
Ooo yes! My mother would love that!
Anything is better with glitter- that key is awesome! How does the glitter stay on though?
I don’t remember, you can find it on my pinterest page if clicking on the photo doesn’t work
I’ll be running the Chicago Rock n’ Roll half! It will actually be my first! 🙂
Yay!!!! How exciting!!
I think so many of us can relate to number eight, you have a great approach to it. Nice job!
Thank you, Alex!!
First of all, yay for the RnR half!!!! In running it too and am so pumped. I hear great things about it and Im sure it will live up to all the hype!
Second, I’m the exact same way at work. No joke, I go to the bathroom at least 6 times during the work day. And I bring my water bottle each time.
oh yay!!! We’ll both be rocking it!
I LOVE the quote. Ever since I was a little girl my father told me to pretend I was a race horse with blinders on. Don’t worry about the “competition,” with others around you. Have your goal, look straight ahead, and go for them. 🙂
Your dad is a smart man!
I just have a goal to run in all 50 states, doesn’t have to be a race. It’s cheaper that way 🙂
Also, I LOVE the polar bear at the LP zoo. Love him! I could sit and watch him all day. Thanks for taking and sharing the video.
Oooo that’s a good idea! haha MUCH cheaper!
I’m so sad that I can’t do the Chicago Rock and Roll Half. It is on my bucket list but I am in class that day. Total Bummer. Enjoy the racing season!
awww sad! There’s always next year, or another Rock N Roll!
