Friday Things
1. Duke will be three months old on Monday! Can you believe it?! He’s getting much bigger; I can barely pick him up anymore. So sad! He’s got such a cute personality, and he and Einstein continue to be great playmates.
2. Tomorrow we are throwing a party here at our house to celebrate our wedding! We invited some family and friends over for a casual get-together since we got married on the beach in Florida. No, I did not bake my own wedding cake (but we are getting one!) and yes, we are having a cookie table. Photos to come!
3. I’m loving this list of wardrobe essentials by StitchFix. I might need to go shopping! What do you consider must-haves in your closet?
4. My husband saw this workout tweeted by Gary Player last week…
I’ve done it a handful of time and it’s hard. It says for beginners to do three sets, but I could only do one, and had to take a break during some of the exercises. The morning after I did this the first time I was incredibly sore. That makes me feel like I actually did something. It’s a quick workout that I’ve been doing before I hop in the shower. Anything to get moving!
5. Speaking of getting moving, we just had a new treadmill delivered this week and it’s all sorts of awesome. Do any of you use iFit? Any tips on creating workouts or finding cool ones? I’m loving it!
6. Having a puppy that’s still getting up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom every night makes me feel like this every.single.day.
7. I would love to wake up and have tomorrow be Monday. Why, you ask? Because I’m getting all new kitchen appliances! It’s like Christmas… in September! I can’t wait to show them to you once they’re all in. This has been on my to-do list since we bought the house back in May, so I am extremely giddy that the day is finally (almost) here!
8. One week from tonight… hockey is back! I can’t wait to walk into that chilly arena and hear skates cutting through ice. I’m excited to get back into my soft pretzel and diet soda routine ;-)
9. So, my husband love, love, loooooooves soggy cereal. As in, he fills his bowl with cereal, drowns it in milk, and then lets it sit on the counter for like 10 minutes until it is complete mush. He claims it’s the best thing in the world. I claim it’s awful; I love crispy, crunchy cereal. Is this a gender thing? Or just a personal preference? I’m so perplexed about this desire for mushy Raisin Bran!
10. TGIF! Here’s to lounging with best friends (poor Einstein!) :)
I definitely need to try that workout. I actually really like burpees. New kitchen appliances are like Christmas to be sure. Can’t wait to hear more about the wedding festivities!
Michelle..I wanted to leave this comment last week when I saw this pic of ” the boys” but you have to enter this pic of them in the WPHS (Western Pennsylvania Humane Society) calendar contest. It’s a great fund raiser for them.
re: treadmill. Mine has a ledge above the readouts so I prop my Kindle up and read while walking. Time just flies by.
Your puppy is soo cute, I love him! We’re thinking about getting a puppy and as much as it’s a terrifying thought, if he was as adorable as yours is then I think I could manage :)
(ans I’m totally with you on the cereal front – soggy cereal is the worst!!)
Soggy cereal = EWWWWWW. My husband isn’t bothered by it. I don’t even put milk on my cereal – I eat it plain. Even wet and crunchy is too much for me! haha And the workout you posted sounds very similar to some of the killer Crossfit WODs that we get put through. I don’t think I could tackle that first thing in the morning before coffee…
Duke and Einstein are so sweet together–really enjoy seeing the bonding photos. And I had to chuckle about the soggy vs. crunchy cereal. I have been known to pour just a couple of mouthful’s worth of cereal at a time into my bowl for the express purpose of not having the cereal get soggy. I repeat several more times until I have my full bowl’s worth. That way every bite is delightfully crunchy and not icky soggy! :-)
Love the napping quote. That photo of Einstein and Duke is just over the top cute! Love it:)
Wow, can’t believe how fast Duke has grown. I bet two doggies are better than one :)
Those pups are just too cute! Have one of my own, too! http://www.sadieraeandco.com
Your fur babies are insanely adorable! I could just hug them right through my PC! I love the exercise sheet…we’ve been doing some parts already, but the additional exercises really rounds out the routine! Good luck on the kitchen…it’s so much fun to get new things!
you should try a beachbody program called Focus T25(only 25mins a day) or Turbo Fire..these are interval training type workouts similar to the one u posted….check beachbody.com …amazing!!!!
I think it’s a guy thing..my husband loves soggy cereal too and so does my dad. I think it’s so gross!!! I hate mushy cereal. I put the least amount of milk in mine just so the crisp factor stays haha ;) I can’t wait to see your new appliances!
Love the cookie table idea! We had one at our wedding too..and a gelato bar:) Have fun! Love the doggies! And I can’t wait to see your new appliances! So exciting! xo
What a beautiful pic. How are you dealing with two doggies?
Soggy Rice Krispis for me … I know right. :/. :)
Having two dogs has been wonderful, hectic, crazy and a joy. I know, total contradictions, but that’s life right now ;-) Some days we are like, “what were we thinking?!” but others we absolutely love it. Most of the former has to do with Duke being a puppy, of course!
I share your weekly Duke and Einstein photo with both my husband and daughter and we all look forward to a new one each week. Nothing cuter than the 2 of them.
The pics of Einstein and Duke are killing me, they’re so cute! I think if I had these two guys in my life, I would want to spend all my time with them. So, so beautiful! The last pic of Duke leaning on Einstein’s head looks as if they’ve always been in each other’s lives.
I love my cereal crunchy, if I wanted it soggy, I’d have oatmeal. In my opinion, the worst cereal to get soggy is corn flakes. Ugh, I can’t stand looking at it beyond that point. It’s got a short life in that bowl of milk, a few minutes I would say.
Love your Friday posts and your updates on Einstein and Duke!
