YAY for the weekend!

Other than the mounds and mounds of snow we have sitting outside - it's a really gorgeous day. The sun is shinning - and the temperatures are not in the negatives - so I WILL TAKE IT! This type of weather makes me want to be productive - well, this weather and usually a cup of coffee. However, I encountered a sad realization this morning when I rolled out of bed and walked into the kitchen to see I was out of coffee :( Wha wha whaaaa - I have dark chocolate covered espresso beans - that I am sure would have woke me up - but I just decided to go back to sleep for another hour or three :) It was bliss! I probably wouldn't have needed to go back to bed this morning - but it really wasn't a good idea to wash down a bottle of wine with Whiskey - especially when I didn't have anything other than water & Mio to mix the Whiskey with - ehhh...

I feel like being crafty - I should be productive, but I can usually shut those thoughts up pretty quickly. I am almost done with the top of my Americana Quilt :) Whoop Whop! I will be finishing that today (I can post pictures later) for it being my first time using a sewing machine - I am rather proud of myself! I am also pretty excited to go to JoAnn Fabrics and pick out the boarder for the quilt - you might think it's lame - but I'm really excited about it!

I also feel like painting and really wish the weather was nice enough to sit outside and paint... then again I really wish I could paint! My "painting" is more crafty:

I do have stuff that isn't quotes - however this is just one wall

 

I want to be able to paint like Bob Ross!



I used to love watching him paint his "Happy Trees" when I was a kid!

 

OH and I also decided today that I am going to do the training for a Half Marathon. The Tough Mudder is in September and I am most nervous about being able to run the whole thing! (I am nervous about the obstacles - but more about the running) I was looking up different "training" schedules online today. I went for a 14 week Beginner schedule - that started with "Run 4 miles: Easy (so you are not sore tomorrow)" At that point in time I started looking up training schedules for a 10K...

 

I am not THAT out of shape - I can usually run a couple miles at a slower pace and be OK but I am not at the point where 4 miles is easy!!

 

So I guess If I am going to be productive I gotta stop laying around doing nothing - and actually go get my errands done so I can get my craft on later tonight!!
