The weekend of eating

This past weekend my mom and little sister came to visit. It was the first time my sister Abby had visited us in Chicago so naturally we had to make it as fun as possible. Unfortunately she is also 16 so we were limited on the “fun” places to go (aka karaoke bars).

So what did we do? We ate. A LOT. And of course because I am a bad blogger I have very little pictures of our delicious food, but believe me it was wonderful.

The best part about all the eating we did is that I now have food to last me until I go home for Thanksgiving- no grocery shopping this week!

I have a full day of work today- Wed then I am off to spend the night with my boyfriends family, wake up and do a Turkey Trot Thursday morning and then go to my families Thanksgiving then home for the weekend. I am so excited for all of this so I really hope the next three work days fly by.

So Happy Turkey Week to all of you! How are you getting through this short work week?

- With coffee, lots of free time and extra workouts for me  

Busy Bee

Now that September is in full swing that only means one thing for my working self: I am BUSY!

Whenever I get really busy at work I feel way more run down and therefore do not want to workout. This has happened the past two Mondays. Usually I get my butt in gear after that and workout on Tuesday so maybe Monday is just becoming a new rest day?

Otherwise then being busy and tired, I came home last night to a crazyyy puppy. Charlie is 12 weeks now and is totally testing his dominance. Lots of puppy barking, biting and leash biting going on. Any advice on this? I need a good way to correct him because as of now he thinks all my corrections are attempts at playing- not good.

The highlight of last night was “face-timing” my family and our neighbors. My neighbors have 4 of the cutest little girls in the world and their mom is about to have another baby.

My little neighbors~

Fun fact: Every Monday night my dad has the girls over for MilkShake Monday. I am jealous every single time that I don’t get to have milkshakes too!

Time for Tuesday- we get to go to the vet today for Charlie’s third set of shots. Maybe she can tell me what to do about his crazy new energy :/

Charlie eating my scarf-nothing is safe from these teeth!

 

If you are a puppy owner how do you deal with all the different stages?

Anyone else obsessed with their cute little neighbor kids?
