Just some randomness

1. For 3.75 years I have been praying my gym peep would return to the gym and rejoin me.  Up until her abandonment, I considered myself a social workout kinda gal...but now that I have been faithful all these months without her, I wonder if I have morphed into a gym-lover.  Interesting.

At any rate - she's baaaaack which means we're baaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!!!!!! 

The beauty of working out with her is that she never asks, "Do you want to do weights?"  Probably because she knows deep down I do NOT want to lift weights. She never asks.  When we finish cardio, she starts walking toward the weights.  She ropes me in with her witty banter and pretty soon - OH MY GOODNESS, I AM DOING WEIGHT MACHINES!!!!!!!!!

They hurt this week as it's our first week back and I have gone these last 3.75 years with hit-or-miss (mostly MISS) weights.  Not even gonna lie.

2. Have I mentioned how much I am loving Pastor John's reset messages?  The lovingly sharing the Gospel with clarity and compassion.  The praise music selected has been incredible.  The words tuning my heart with His heart.

3. I am enjoying not binge-reading this week.  I finished Rachel Hauck's book and needed to return it to the bibliotecca.  I also deposited two other library books.  One was totally disappointing and the other was not working for me right now.  Both are safely stored on my cyber "to read" bookshelf.  Maybe some day I will return to them...but today is NOT that day.

4. This weekend is the last weekend in August.  It is so weird that summer is over.  Almost over.

To celebrate the ending of summ-ah, Rhonda and I are going to Friday night binge-thrift.  This is where we caffeinate ourselves  (HALF-CAF CAUSE FULL CAFF AFTER 4 IN THE P M IS JUST NOT PRETTY.  OH, IT IS HILARIOUS FOR US & OTHER THRIFTERS BUT EVENTUALLY ONE OF US GETS STUCK IN A DRESS OR PAIR OF PANTS AND IT JUST GOES DOWNHILL FROM THERE...so no full caffeine) and then we hit at a minimum 2 Goodwills.

We are thinking the Randall area. 
A. There are coffee establishments.

B.  There are 3 nice Goodwills.  Read:  very trendy Chicago suburbs = LOTS OF ANNE TAYLOR LOFT AT THE GOODWILL!!!! :)

C.  We haven't been there in almost 4 years which is just sad.  A whole span between two summer Olympics.

D.  They have Trader Joe's.  And Trader Joe's has yummy gluten-free gingersnappy cookies that I am missing.

I am sorry that I haven't blogged in a while.  Been living life and enjoying summery days.

Happy almost the weekend, blog-stalkers!!!
