Last Things Thursday

It's THURSDAY. Which also means it's time for me to link up and do a LAST THINGS post! Yippee!

 

 

The Last Thing I:

Bought for someone as a gift:

Monday it was my friend/running partner's birthday. She is always doing something thoughtful for me so I decided to get her an adorable Sweaty Bands head band. Oh my gosh. Have you seen these? I WANT one so bad. I had to refrain from buying one for myself. They are so cute and hey, who doesn't want to look stylish while they are out running?

Cried About:

 

Well, there was this thing last weekend.. OH YA. I ran a marathon. I knew I was going to cry during the marathon, it was just a matter of when. I really only teared up 3 times. That's good right? First when I saw some spectators, second when I saw my uncle at mile 25 cheering me on and last when I saw my family at the Finish Line.

Made for Dinner:

Last night I made Chicken Philly Cheesesteak Sandwiches in the Crockpot. So simple. Definitely one of my hubby's favorite. I love cooking in the crockpot because I can usually just throw everything in and know that it is going to turn into something delicious.

Got Excited About:

Can I name two things?? First of all, don't judge. I know I am a 25 year old momma but yesterday I heard on the radio that Justin Bieber will be coming to Salt Lake. So it doesn't necessarily mean that I am going to get tickets and go but I might, because how fun would that be? If you think I'm crazy watch Never Say Never and then you'll like Justin Bieber just a little.

And the other thing I'm excited about?? My most favorite TV show of all time starts up again tonight. SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE. In love with this show.

Hope you are all having a fantastic Thursday!

XOXO,

Whitney

Last Things Thursday: #3

It's Thursday which means it is time for me to link up and do a

Last Things Thursday Post

So here are the last things I:

Laughed at:

Modern Family. Seriously, hilarious. Everytime I watch that show I am giggling to no end. Yesterday's episode was not a let down. Disneyland, Dilon, and Lily on a leash. All good laughs!

Made for dinner:

I made my own version of Thai Coconut Curry Chicken in the slow cooker and it was delicious. The Mr. was surprised that I made up my own recipe. I should have taken a picture and shared the recipe with you. Next time I make it I will.

Listened to:

For my birthday my sister gave me the Hunger Games soundtrack and I love it. My favorite song on there is the one by Birdie. Oh I just love her voice, it is so unique. I listen to that song over and over again.

Cried about:

So I swear ever since I was pregnant and had my baby girl I have been so much more emotional about anything. I will get teary eyed over anything. Last night I finished watching the finale of The Voice and yes, maybe cried one tear when I saw how happy Jermaine was when he won. He deserved it but I'm just not really sure why it made me cry? Is anyone else like me and more emotional now that you are a mom????

 

Got Nervous about:

 

UMMMM. So remember how I am running a marathon?? Yep, thats happening in just about 9 short days. I'm terrified to say the least. I have been training for months and I think I am physically ready but not sure if I am mentally ready. Earlier this week while I was out running I was thinking that my race was this weekend and had a slight panic attack but was relieved to remember that I had another week. It is going to be here before I know it. AHH, wish me luck.

 

 

 

Happy Friday Eve!

 

XOXO,

The Last Things Thursday: Numero Uno

Every now and then I like to link up with other blogs. Today I am joining in with The Life of the Wife and doing The Last Things Thursday. It just sounded like fun and something different. So here we go:

The Last Thing I:

Ate:
Great Value Fat Free Cottage Cheese. Yum. I know what your thinking, Great Value brand? But I am somewhat of a Cottage cheese lover and Great Value brand is the best tasting...at least in my opinion. I eat it all the time. My baby girl even loves cottage cheese, probably because I ate it all the time while I was pregnant too?!

Bought:
Last night I bought a mirror for my entryway from Target. Then my entryway will almost be complete. Can't wait for it to come!

Read:
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. It was our book club book last month and I absolutely loved it. It was refreshingly different from the last few books I have read.

Laughed at:

My Baby girl. She is quite hilarious even when she doesn't mean to be. She says and does things that I just can't help but snicker at. Earlier today she was throwing a tantrum and hit me so daddy put her in "time out" and we tried to get her to say she was sorry. She started to growl instead. I had to bite my lip from busting out in laughter.

Listened to:
Dave Barnes: God Gave Me You & Until You. I love his voice. My Brother in Law's brother sang "I Have and I Always Will" at our wedding. He's.Amazing.

Baked:

Streusel Muffins. Yum. Then I gave them all to my in-laws to eat since my hubby was out of town all week. He was a little upset when he came home and found out I gave them away and there were none left for him, oops.

Wore:
Yesterday I wore my yellow pants with a gray & white striped shirt.

Watched on TV:
Chopped All-Stars. It's on Food Network- as if it is any surprise I would be watching it! I'm a little addicted to that channel!

Got Excited about:
Last week I registered for the Nike Women's Half Marathon with my Aunt Cathy, Cousin Brooke & SIL Lindsay. It is not guaranteed entrance. They do a random draw so the last few days I have been dying to know whether or not our group was selected. Woke up this morning and checked my email @ 7am and sure enough I had email from Nike:

Dear Whitney,

Whether it’s your first or fiftieth race, there really is no other feeling quite like standing at the starting line.

We’re so glad that in 2012, you’ll be sharing that moment with us.

That’s right, you read that correctly. You’ve officially been selected to run in the 2012 Nike Women’s Marathon in San Francisco. Congratulations!

WAHOO! I cannot wait to head to San Fransisco for a girls weekend and participate in my first race outside of Utah. It was the best news to start my day off right!

Happy Thursday Everyone!

XOXO,
Whitney
