Perfectly timed people

Happy Friday!  Can you believe it's November?

Oh, time, you are so funny.  (I know I've said that before.  And I will probably say it many more times.)  I've been thinking about time a lot lately.

So, how was your week?

I was swamped this week, both professionally and personally, probably more swamped professionally though.  Crazy, crazy week.

I took several yoga classes this week and needed every single one.  (I literally took 5 classes since Sunday.)  Each one brought a different goal or perspective and I needed all of it!  Today for some reason, I was completely tuned in and it was awesome!  I wish my body could be that tuned in all the time, but it can't & that's all part of yoga.  Go with the flow.  (Get it... the flow.  You know how in yoga instructors often say, "alright, let's flow" when we're doing vinyasas?)

Friday morning I took some time to write out my to do list and knew I needed a coffee date with myself in the afternoon in order to stay on track.  I packed up my work computer and treated myself to Intelligentsia.  The cashier had the exact vibe I needed at that moment and totally calmed me down.  Thank you, sir, who's sister is Lisa.

Other highlights:
-One of my lady friends got engaged on Sunday!  Yay!  So excited!
-I'm officially friends with my neighbor and his dog, Toby, who I've been saying hello to since I moved in.  He's an elderly man, who I randomly see out walking his dog.  This week as I walked towards them, Toby started running towards me and my friend said, "Look it's your friend."  He's the perfect little dog and I love my little conversations with that man.
-I had a random conversation with a lady this week who said, "You must be one of those people who people feel they can confess everything to because I just can't stop right now."  That was nice, but I can't say I've ever noticed before.
-The best word I can think of to describe dating is uncertain.  Amiright?
-As I trudged through the rain walking home from yoga Thursday evening I saw the adorable trick-or-treaters.  In the rain.  Seriously adorable.  My favorite group was the 2 dads with their 2 sons.  All dressed up.  (No, they're costumes were not matching.  I do not quite understand the current trend to have everyone in the same theme.)

This week I feel like I kept running into people who I needed to see exactly at that moment (besides the red sox fan I was with when the Cardinals lost...minus her).  I think this happens all the time, but it takes extra thought to recognize it and be thankful for it.  Sometimes people are in your life when you need them.

This weekend:
-I'm excited to reconnect with my friend who I haven't seen in a couple weeks tonight.  I know that's not all that long, but for me and her it is.
-Saturday my friend is running her first 5K ever, in memory of her mom and I'm super excited to be in her cheering squad!  I'm making a sign.

What are you up to this weekend?
Hope you have a great one!

Fall Fun!

We could not have asked for better fall weather this weekend.  70 degrees.  Sunny.  We just wanted to be outside the entire time.   We went for runs and decided we needed to spend even more time appreciating the fall foliage, which apparently will peak in two weeks.  So two more weeks to enjoy!  We checked out a new to us restaurant.   Then we took a trip to Grant's Farm, which neither one of us had been to since we were kids.  And neither one of us remembered.  Capping off another day spent outside. Monday I hopped on my bike to get to work and my body felt tired from the fun of the weekend.  I looked out my window at my desk and saw so many beautiful leaves, I took a photo on the walk back to where I park my bike. P.S. Yes, I got a new job!  Hooray!  A more detailed update is coming.

26 miles in 26 days

So the title isn`t exactly correct, but I ran a marathon yesterday and it was Melissa & my`s one month being here. But Caro helped me come up with the title and I thought it was catchy. So marathon #2 and a completely different experience than the one I ran last year in Chicago. Lisa Rottler Chamberlin is the name I ran the race with...I tried to sign up as Lisa Rottler, but it forced me to enter mom`s maiden name or i couldn`t continue with registration. the first difference I experienced this marathon in a very different way. In Chicago I was competitive I would say. It was on my mind since February of last year when I signed up. I was didigent about training and very serious about it. This year I signed up like 3 weeks ago and it was very last minute. Although, I ran like I was training for the marathon this summer in Chicago-that was 2 months ago. Last year the weekend of the marathon I rested. This year Friday night I went to my first quinceanera and got home at 4 a...

Lake Recap

Yep, it's recap time from the week my family and I spent at the Lake . My parents rented a house and a boat for our family for the week.  We were around mile 24 for those of you who've been there before. Dad, Mom, Jeff, Greta & Charlie all slept in the guest house so that meant... Karen & I had the whole main house to ourselves.  ;)  (If only we didn't disagree on the temperature so much. I like it warmer than her).   That might be a bit of an exaggeration.  We had the whole place to ourselves, unless someone wanted food, hang out in the living room, do laundry, etc. We pretty much relaxed the whole time we were there.   We were out on the boat at least once a day. Karen & I are ready for a day on the boat! We got in some tubing and skiing.  (No pictures exist of tubing, but it happened.  My scabs from the cloth burn just came off at the end of last week.  And just ask Karen.  She was sore.  We all were.) ...
