Hi! How’s it going? I started my day with the BEST running fuel = nutella. Thank you Santa!
Good run, good food, good tunes…
In other news…
This is me trying to get my life together:
I’m pretty excited about my Christmas presents! I really wanted to see that Wild movie and now I have to read the book super fast before I watch it!!
I also got my favorite perfume and I’m wearing it even though I’m just hanging around the house today. I love it.
Now I’m frantically cleaning because my dad and lil bro are coming to visit me!!
Question: Should I just hide everything in the closet or actually clean like a normal person?
Have you read this book? Seen the movie? Are you Wild?
Alison says
I LOVED Wild, and am very sad that it’s not showing near me. Boo for living in the sticks.
Erika Morris says
I just started Wild on Thursday. I’ve heard it’s good!
Sue says
Ever tried nutella with PB? They’re the best!
Gena says
I thought hiding everything in the closet IS the normal way to clean! Enjoy the book and the movie. And keep running.
Sarah says
One of my favorite books. Loved it! Can’t wait to see the movie.
Tricia @ A Couple Of Dashes says
I’ve never tried that perfume before, but I think I’m going to treat myself to a new perfume with my Christmas money.
I haven’t read “Wild” yet, but I really want to see the movie! I guess I was living under a rock, because I had no idea it was a book first! I’ll have to check it out!
Barbara Ann says
Read the book awhile back and didn’t love it. Saw the movie last week and loved it. I never think that movies are better than books so maybe I’m just in a different place in my life now so I could relate more? Don’t know…guess I have to read the book again and find out! I hope you like it.
Melissa H says
Ahhh I had this similar thought! I liked the book okay but nothing extraordinary. I think the story actually translates better on film, which is so rarely (or, until now, never) the case! Loved the movie far more!
Ashley @ Saving Money in your Twenties says
hahaha hide everything in the closet– I love that method of cleaning! 🙂
Sally @ sweat out the small stuff says
I saw the movie last week. I loved it. There were some slow points but it all really works in the end.
Losing Lindy says
I am so out of it, I have no idea what Wild is about, but now, I will need to check it out.
I got a Ninja thingy for Christmas, so I am going to hit up the store for green smoothie ingredients.
Livi @ Eat, Pray, Work It Out says
I love Wild!! Such an amazing book!
Christina says
I totally agree!! Can’t wait to see the movie!
Janelle @ Wholly Healthy says
Woah, woah, woah….is that gingerbread coffee?!
runeatrepeat says
Yep! From Trader Joes 🙂
Kristen says
loved the movie, didn’t read the book. I never read the book.
Ethan says
50:50 hide:clean. Gets the job done, still feel good about yourself, salvage sanity.
Just bought the book for an upcoming trip. Several friends have hiked the PCT. I’m looking forward to it. I’ll start it in the plane as I fly over those mountains 🙂
Linda @ TheFitty says
It’s as if pocky and nutella had a baby. :O
Ethan says
The most gorgeous and glorious baby ever!
Christine @ BookishlyB says
I read Wild and thought it was okay- she was a annoying at times and I didn’t think some of the book worked in terms of transitions, content, etc… I did appreciate the actual hiking aspect- being a fan of Yosemite it was nice to read about the trail. I went to one of her readings at the LA Public Library and wasn’t exactly impressed by her, but that’s probably just a personality preference sort of thing. I will see it once it’s out on Netflix in a year or two.
runeatrepeat says
I should always just ask you first!
Christine @ BookishlyB says
🙂
Caitlin F. says
I was so happy to read your comment Christine. I felt the same way about the book. I think that hiking the Pacific Crest Trail is amazing, but the book did not flow for me. I could not find anyone else that didn’t think it was AMAZING. Thanks for sharing ; it’s not just me.
Daisy @ Fit Wanderlust Runner says
I have guests coming over tomorrow and I am stressing out to get my house clean. Took a quick break to catch up on your blog. You only have two people coming over…I have close to 50! Wish me luck!
runeatrepeat says
Good luck!!
Becky @ Ok, so here's the plan says
Throw it in the closet, for sure. That’s usually my solution 😉
I didn’t want to read the book until I saw the movie trailer, and now I want to read the book. I feel like that’s backwards.
Bethany says
One of my favorite books.
Cheri @ Overactive Blogger says
I’m also trying to read that book before I actually see the movie!
Sagan says
Clean as much as you can until you run out of time or get tired of it, and then toss the rest of the stuff in the closet 😉
Nice running route you’ve got!
