Happy Friday!!!
How was your week?
I am very excited that Christmas is just around to corner because I get to vacation in fabulous Florida. This also means Iām celebrating Christmas with my fam this weekend and I was frantically trying to get everything ready this week.
Well, round 1 of my Christmas cards were vetoed for some reason after I ordered them and everything?! 
No big, just hanging out with Meb, with Deena Kastor in the background.
So I went to get attempt #2 yesterday and I didnāt realize until I was almost home that they gave me the wrong cards! #Fail
Fun fact: If you go to Costco twice in one day you deserve a one dollar churro.
Speaking of treatsā¦ I have been a french fry fiend this week. First Red Robin and then last night:
I paired it with a light eggs and broccoli for dinner because itās all about saving room for fries balance.
Friday Favorites:
1. Lace accents. I bought this comfy sweatshirt with lace the other day and love it.
2. Santa Clause needs nipple chafing relief too.
3. Timed space heaters. I always worry about forgetting to turn it off or having it on when Iām asleep, but itās been cold. I love that my heater only turns on when itās a set temperature.
Itās the little things people.
4. I finished Orange is the New Black last night. I want to talk about it with someone!
Question: Whatās your favorite thing this week?
I love that you use a space heater and live in California! haha! That made me laugh out loud. Literally. š
I watched Orange on Netflix. It was awesome. Can’t wait for the new season.
I love Orange is the New Black, I can’t wait for the new season to come out. My favorite thing this week was the weather, it was awesome!
My favorite thing this week is the run my dog and I went on today. It was muddy and icy but it was a lot of fun and good to get outside after being inside at work all week.
My favorite thing this week is the smoothie I just made with chocolate recovery powder and kale…among other things. It was AMAZEBALLS.
I love the Meb, Monica, and Deena card! I might be biased because I saw Meb that weekend, too and I am still recovering! My favorite thing this week is right now because I am enjoying the most peaceful and relaxing Saturday morning ever!
Have you seen the holiday sweater thermal shirt from InkandBurn? It would be a favorite thing if there were a crazy 60% off sale!
Adore the sweater – so cute!
I had to add the “milkshakes bring all the boys to the yard” song to my running playlist! Love OITNB!
My favorite thing this week is that I got to run outside today! It felt amazing to get my miles in and not be on the treadmill! The 19-degrees felt awesome as well. Oh and I’m officially on Christmas Break for the next two weeks! Yeah!
For the first time ever, I baked homemade bread. It was a game changer. The most delicious bread ever and so so easy to make.
Everyone keeps talking about that show, I may have to just start watching it.
I’m definitely interested to see where they go next season with Orange is the New Black. Shit went DOWN in that last episode!
Seriously! And not cool Mr. Healey – I thought he was one of the good guys…
Love that top!!!
That heater sounds awesome! I have nightmares of waking up and the house is burnt down! This week I had a pretty solid week of workouts so I would say that is my favorite thing this week!
Favorite thing: B-day party at a trampoline gym. So fun.
Trying to figure out if I am giving out neighbor treats. Already decided no Christmas cards. Trying to simplify because this month has been crazy busy.
Fun! I bought a groupon for a trampoline place and never used it. Boo.
Cute sweat shirt. You can sport it with tights or jeans.
My favorite thing is also my NOT so favorite thingā¦.Christmas cookies/treats/and fun drinks!! I cannot just have one ~ so I have had about a zillion and my thighs need Body Glide to rid them of the chaffing!!
Let’s talk about Orange is the new Black! I’ve been finished and would love to discuss it with someone!
Love the little lace accents!! How cute!
My daughter is coming home TOMORROW! And she is bring Mike’s Pastry! I have not seen her since NYC.
I WILL TALK ABOUT ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK WITH YOU!! None of my friends watch it and I have been dying to talk about that last episode for like, two months.
Uh, I would be pretty upset if someone posted my family’s Christmas card on their personal website/blog. Probably a good idea to take that down seeing as how those are strangers and that is definitely not your picture.
Just updated that – thanks for pointing it out, I’d never intend to offend people.
Wait, you just posted someone else’s Christmas card on the internet without their permission?
Yeah, that was probably not cool of me so I just updated it to blur it out. I appreciate you pointing out the mistake in a nice way.
I’ve loved spending time with my mom and the baby she nannies this week. So fun to be with her and sweet to see the two of them together!
LOVE OITNB — how nuts is next season going to be? That final scene was nuts…c’mon Piper, get it together.
Favouite thing this week, my chocolate, caramel, oreo milkshake I downed after my run yesterday!!
My husband started orange is the new black without me! Which sucks because I’ve heard how good it is. Guess I’ll have to catch up to him when he’s out of town.
I think you totally should have sent out those other peoples cards. Have a great trip and Merry Christmas!!!
My favorite thing this week was extra snuggles with my baby boy the other morning when he decided to get up at 4:30. It was early but it was extra sweet just “us” time.
My favorite thing is having friends visit this weekend! We moved away almost 2 months ago so it will be our first time seeing them in TOO LONG. so excited!
I need to get on Orange is the New Black train, now that I finished Breaking Bad that is next on my list. This week I am loving going to the geothermal pools here in Iceland in the evening, so beautiful with the snow and steam all around you.
My new Columbia Sportswear black and gray half zip long sleeve top that I got for a bargain at the outlets. Its so comfy.
They just opened a Red Robin in my mall! Unlimited fries baby! So stoked =)
Orange is the New Black is so good! I enjoyed this list:

OITNB is the most incredible show! I got to see the real Piper speak at a Women’s Prison Association event, even saw most of the cast! Definitely check out the book-she’s an incredible woman. SO pumped for next season!!
omg I was obsessed with Orange is the New Black I think I watched the entire season in a few days. I cant wait for season 2!
I love that top w/ the lace!!
My fav this week is absolutely Christmas cookies. For sure — I’m just hoping I eventually get sick of them.
Have you watched OITNB on Netflix, yet? I read the book before I watched the series. It starts back up again in January. So excited!!!!!
Haha I would be so mad if they gave me the wrong pics. Coso is crazy enough to have to go twice! Lol
Anything peppermint has been my fav this week! (bodywash, roomspray, handcream, hot chocolate…)
My favorite thing has yet to come! We leave tomorrow to go visit family and I couldn’t be more excited!!
Isn’t OITNB awesome!???! I mean is she dead? What happens to Piper? Why do I have to wait until Summer to have some closure? Why Netflix? Why?
Merry Christmas. š
