Feeling... frustrated. One and half miles into my run this morning, my knee flared up and I had to stop. I took last week off, but this is now the 3rd out of my last 4 runs that have ended with knee pain.

Reading... Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel. It's my book club's pick for this month. I was so hooked within the first 15 pages but then I kind of fell off a little bit. It's at times intriguing and other times confusing. This is one where I have no idea how it's going to end, so I'll keep reading.


Watching... "Downton Abbey." I had fallen behind a few episodes and I caught up over the weekend...only to miss the most recent episode due to the Oscars. Let me tell you...we had been considering getting rid of cable, but moving to our new place, getting cable wasn't an option (our basement apartment isn't wired for it) and I don't like it. I haven't watched any of my favorite shows all season. I didn't watch TV around the clock, but I miss not having cable. I think I'm the only person to have ever said that.

Thinking about... our first anniversary trip. We've had a destination in mind since even before our honeymoon, but lately I've talked to some people who have said they didn't love it. Some research is definitely in order.

Working on... touching my toes. After only three classes back in a studio, I can already touch them in seated! I'm excited for what incorporating more yoga is going to do for me!
This was in June of 2013...right in the middle of my 30 Day Yoga Challenge...
which only lasted 19 days because my knee gave out the week this picture was taken.
Needing... to just be able to run. It's been 2 1/2 years since I first injured myself and I just want to be back to myself again. 

Loving... my new yoga studio. My friend Abby and I went there last night and ended up staying after class for 45 minutes talking to the owner, one of the instructors and another student. The studio opened up last week and I adore it. It's such a gorgeous, friendly, welcoming space. It's my new happy place.

Excited about... a possible trip to Ikea this weekend...if it doesn't snow again!

Feeling...under the weather. I'm not sure if I'm just tired or getting sick. I wouldn't be surprised by either. Running in the cold this weekend was probably not my smartest idea.

Reading... I'm about 10 pages from finishing The King's Curse. Next up, I'll be reading Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel, which is our next book club pick.


Listening to... Pitbull. Not normally my choice for a morning song, but "Feel this Moment" came on my Pandora this morning and that song brings back so many memories of dancing on our wedding night, so Pitbull it is. 

Watching... "The White Queen" on Amazon Prime. It was a BBC/Starz miniseries based on the book series I'm reading. It only recently became available on Prime and I've suckered The Pilot into watching it with me. 

Thinking about... Lent. Yesterday was Ash Wednesday and I went to a new church. It was a great service and I spent a lot of time last night thinking about the readings and reflecting and writing about them. 

Working on... a new evening/morning routine. I already feel more productive. Last night, I did all of my dishes and this morning, I put them all away! There's obviously more to the routine than just dishes, but drinking a cup of warm lemon water while putting away dishes was a nice start to the morning, rather than just jumping into getting ready!

Needing... to get back to yoga. It's only been about 10 days since my last time on the mat, but I don't want to go much longer than that.

Loving... my new blog design. Do you? I started working on it a few months ago and never got around to finishing it. I'm hoping to add a few more elements by the end of the month. Let me know what you think! I'd love your feedback!

Excited about... that the snow turned this week into a 3 day week and for an Oscars party on Sunday!

Feeling... Productive. I'm having a good week.

Reading... The King's Curse. I'm debating whether I should reread Philippa Gregory's series on The Tudors after this. I read them in high school and kind of want to read them again. I'm half way through this one and what I can't seem to understand is why everyone sympathizes with Ann Boleyn...


Listening to... I've put Invisibilia on hold while I'm reading my latest book, but I definitely plan on picking it up and catching up on it.

Watching... I haven't turned my TV on in about a week...so nothing.

Thinking about... our apartment. It's starting to look awesome...at least, the living room and kitchen are. The bedroom needs help. That might be this weekend's project. I'm thinking shelves...new bedding and some pictures on the wall.

Working on... our apartment, my blog, sorting through our wedding photos...lots of stuff.

Loving... this picture that Abby took of The Pilot and I with Peyton after he got home from a week away. I plan on blowing it up and framing it because it's perfect.


Needing... new running shoes. Mine are starting to wear pretty thin and the only other pair I have bother my knee. I'm starting to think about investing in a pair of Hokas...as ridiculously sized as they are, I've heard a lot of people say that they can eliminate knee pain. Anyone have any luck with them?


Excited about... my birthday weekend and the massage I booked for myself on Monday afternoon! Oh hey 3 day weekend!
