Why I'm Loving Monday

Why I'm Loving Monday

I'm loving it because... After putting a lot of thought into it, and spending hours this weekend brainstorming, I decided on a theme for my classroom this next year - camping!  I've been scouring the Internet for some ideas and have seen some adorable pictures.  I'm especially excited about finding a little tent and some sleeping bags to put in my reading corner.  How cozy does that sound?!?

I'm loving it because... we cleaned the house today.  Not that I really love cleaning, but I love having a clean house!  Did you know that using newspaper to clean windows/mirrors keeps them streak-free?  Jon taught me that!

I'm loving it because... I signed up for my second 5K!  I am so excited.  I think I may have an addiction because I'm already looking at upcoming races.  Too bad they aren't free!  I just had so much fun.  My goal was to beat my time from the Watermelon 5K, but last week Jon and I started strength training.  We found that our times on our 3 mile runs since then have slowed somewhat, so after some research Jon found that starting a strength training routine can slow you down.  It has.  So, we'll see how it goes.  My hope right now is that I'm at least no slower than I was at the Watermelon 5K.

What are you loving today?

Why I'm Loving Monday

I'm not a huge fan of Mondays.  I have to set my alarm again, I have to pack a lunch again, I have to go to work again... and so on.  I often wish we could skip Monday and go straight to Tuesday.  But, we can't, so instead I thought I would think about the good that each Monday brings.

Why I'm Loving Monday

I'm loving it because... I ate a mini-cucumber for the first time, and it was delicious.  I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since then.  Better than their larger counterpart, ya'll!  I can't wait to throw one in my lunchbox tomorrow.

I'm loving it because... I got to spend a few hours lying at the pool with Jon.  Even though I sweated my body weight in liquid out there, the sun relaxes me.  

I'm loving it because... Jon showed me how to watch a movie on my iPad while running on the treadmill today.  Three miles fly by when you can mindlessly watch stupid movies!

I'm loving it because... I shaved my legs without cutting myself for the first time in a month.  Let me back up... I have been using Venus razors for as long as I can remember.  I didn't know it at the time, but they are apparently amazing because I never cut myself and I apparently don't know how to shave.  Last month I was in need of some new razors, and, trying to save a little money, I bought some Bics.  I must have been spoiled, tearing those razors along my legs and never getting cut, because every time I shave now I cut my legs at least three times.  Even when I'm being careful.  Especially on my knees, right below my knees, and my ankles.  Want to see the scars?

I'm loving it because... We had tacos for dinner.  I love tacos!

I hope you were able to find some bright spots in your Monday!
