Hi.

How was your Monday?

…….

…………….

……………………….

That bad, huh? Buck up buttercup — tomorrow is already Tuesday (ew).

Well, if you look at the bright side — you are already 20% done with the workweek! That is promising, right? Right.

I thought we should have some Monday fun tonight. Because really — who has fun on Mondays? This girl does.

I saw this great survey that Cait from Beyond Bananas did a FIVE survey the other day. I figured we should start the week off with a bang.

Last five people I talked to on the phone:

  1. my mom
  2. the Husband
  3. my mother in law
  4. the Husband
  5. my mom

Can you see a trend there?

Last Five Meals I Ate:

  1. a pumpkin protein muffin
  2. a giant salad with hummus/balsamic & gluten free bread

    September 8, 2011 008

  3. pumpkin overnight oats
  4. kabocha squash, tofu, and broccoli
  5. another giant salad with grilled vegetables

Last five places I’ve traveled:

    1. Punta Cana
    2. New York City
    3. Michigan
    4. St. Louis
    5. umm I don’t remember

Next five places I will go:

September 10, 2011 011

  1. Starbuck’s (wishful thinking)
  2. work
  3. Hobby Lobby and/or Michael’s
  4. the chiropractor
  5. home!

Last five workouts:

    1. 3.5 miles and abs (this morning)
    2. hot yoga (Saturday)
    3. 8 mile run (Friday night)
    4. 30 minutes cross training and ab work (Thursday)
    5. 3.5 mile run & ab work (Wednesday)

Five things making me happy right now:

  1. FALL!

    September 25, 2011 009 

  2. pumpkin
  3. clean houses
  4. laundry that is put away
  5. nice comfy new slippers

That wasn’t painful, was it? Now it’s your turn! Pick a top five list and go to town!

I love clean laundry that’s put away too!! I have a tendency sometimes to just wash it and let it sit in the basket, but I feel so much more accomplished once everything is clean and in it’s place. :)
