Deer in the front yard

We finally made our way to Gainesville around 3am (FL time) this morning.  We weren’t able to leave Starkville until about 5pm, so we grabbed our Starbucks before heading out.

Woke up this morning and grabbed some BREAKFAST – it turned out perfect!  An open-faced egg & cheese sandwich.  It fueled me for our run this morning!

We had the most exciting encounter on our run this morning!

DEER!!!!!

They were standing right in the front yard of a house for sale and they didn’t run off or anything!  We saw 2 adults and kept walking then saw 3 little babies!  I couldn’t believe how calm they were and how close they were!  It was the coolest thing!

Once we passed by the first time, I wanted to get a picture with them on our way back, but they had started moving.  You can barely see them and at this point they were eyeing me down because they were back with their babies.  If you look closely between those 2 trees below, you’ll see them standing there.

I was overwhelmed with excitement.  They were so beautiful!

My dad’s been sending me the cutest pictures of cappie too, so here’s something to brighten up your hopefully amazing 4th of July!

He made himself right at home at my Nanny’s house this weekend!

  • Have you ever seen deer on a run that close to you?
  • What are you doing today for the 4th?

We’re about to go to a 4th of July party and we’ll be seeing some fireworks tonight, of course!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

Frozen Blueberries {Jackson, MS Whole Foods Sale!}

Who else is jumping up and down over a holiday weekend??!! Surely not just me!

Today when I get off at TWO, I’ll be heading straight to pick up Nick and then to Gainesville to stay with his brother & sister-in-law!  We’re going to a big fireworks show on the 4th and spending a day at Disney on Saturday!  Also…. THE FESTIVAL OF THE LION KING IS BACK!!!!!!!!  Y’all, this is my absolutely all time favorite show in the world!! It was closed when I visited in May, but it’s back and you can bet I’ll be there!  I’m lugging my huge old laptop with me so I can still blog though – seriously, that’s love!  I’m in desperate need of a new laptop that’s more travel friendly for easy blogging!

Let’s chat about yesterday though because it was a good day and deserves some attention!

I saw an announcement on our local Whole Foods Facebook Page about Blueberries on sale FOR A DOLLAR!! And to top it off, they were having blueberry pancake samples.  Needless to say, Whole Foods on my lunch break was an obvious choice.  I bought 5 cartons of blueberries – gave one to my parents, I’m taking one on our car ride this weekend, & then I froze the other 3 cartons.  I look forward to using my frozen blueberries in smoothies the next few weeks!

When I got home from work yesterday, I needed to pack, wash a few clothes, workout, eat dinner, & clean out my car.  I went ahead and got my WORKOUT in.  I did the 10 to 6 Workout again because I continue to feel like it defeats me and I’m so determined to complete the entire set of 10 to 6!

I got my area set up.  The gym was pretty dead, so I had plenty of room.  I’ve been pretty bad about bringing water to the gym, so I finally remembered that and believe me, it came in handy as I got farther into the workout!  I also brought a small notecard to write out my workout.  I’m going to start doing this because it really helped!

10-to-6-notecard

This time I made it 10 to 7.  Not because I couldn’t have finished off the 6, but my dad text me for DINNER in the middle of round 7, so I completed it and then left to go eat.  We ate at Newk’s which is my favorite place for a veggie pizza!  It completely satisfied my hunger after that sweaty workout!

I went home and cleaned out my car just before the sun set and then finished up my packing.  Now the Newt and I are waiting until it’s time for us to head out of town!  I’ve been Newt-sitting for Nick’s brother & sister-in-law since the move, so I’m sure he’ll be glad to be back home with his people!

I also brought in my bag of food so the chocolate wouldn’t melt out in my car!  Once I hit Starkville, I’m grabbing a Starbucks and then it’s open road from there!  I’ll be checking back in with y’all tomorrow though.

Here’s some extra cuteness to start your weekend off with

  • Do you freeze your own fruit for smoothies?
  • If you can’t seem to complete a particular workout, do you go back and do it over and over until you can?
  • What’s your go-to Travel Essential? – For me, it’s Starbucks!

Blanket Hoarder

Good Morning!! Who is ready for this 3 day weekend!?

Today isn’t even “hump” day because technically we’re already past our half-way point, yay!

Last night, I went back to my HIIT class and it was another great sweaty workout.  Maybe one day I’ll get over my gym shyness and snap a picture of my sweaty glory – have no fear though, I’m quite courageous in my car!  I have no doubt that this class will be a weekly staple for me now.  There is always an Ab class afterwards, so I stayed for that.

After my workout, I went home and cooked up DINNER, which felt extremely southern…. Meatless Morning Star BBQ ribs & mustard potato salad.  I’m honestly loving these BBQ ribs more than the real thing!  There is no fat pieces that you run in to and get grossed out by (no bones either!), the BBQ sauce tastes just like it should, and it shreds apart to create the right texture.

Then finished it off with a toffee crunch icecream!

I might have ended up with 2 desserts last night, but  when your mom offers you a Berry Shortcake later in the evening….. YOU DO NOT SAY NO!  Because it’s delicious, and has fruit, so it’s justified.  I made this on my blog last 4th of July!

BLANKET HOARDER

Do you have a blanket hog?  Maybe your spouse hogs the blankets at night… or you have a sister that when you sleep with her, she tosses and turns so much that she ends up with all the blankets (honestly, I’m not sure if that’s me or my sisters… I think we go back and forth!)…. well do you have a DOG who hogs the blankets?  I believe we have a hoarder in our midst.

Cappie has a pillow pad in my room where he likes to sleep.  He typically has his one blanket to ruffle up and get comfy with.  Well when I got back from Middle School Camp this past weekend, I had put 2 other blankets on my floor to wash later.  Lo and Behold…. he has moved them to his pillow pad and is hoarding them.

First, he brought one of the blankets over…

Clearly, he needed another though….

He’s such a goober!  Constantly cracking me up  with his pom personality!

This morning for BREAKFAST, I finished off my vegetarian bacon with 2 bacon biscuits!  I had a side of cranberry juice to wash it down.  It satisfied my hunger and now I’m off to work!
