Hello Philly!

August 3, 2011 | Uncategorized

 

Hi there! I am currently in Philadelphia! Which is weird, because I will be BACK here in two short weeks for the Healthy Living Summit! Unfortunately, this time it’s just a layover (for three hours, ug) and I am catching another flight to Providence this afternoon.

But let’s back up. Yesterday was quite the stressful day. I had 4 huge vials of blood taken from my body yesterday morning for some tests, and then I had to go to Chili’s for our Team in Training Fundraiser. I was there till 1:30, then I went home and started to pack and get ready to go out of town. I WANTED to run but there was literally no time. I met Bobby back up at Chili’s at 5 and we stayed till 7:15.

Then I drove to my parents house outside of NOLA for the night, and was greeted with  a beautiful sunset.

and my dad brought me to the airport this morning. WHEW! One flight later and here I am waiting in Philly. Eating a pretzel. With cheese sauce. Don’t judge.

Hi Philly people!

I am so excited about being in Providence. It’s going to be so busy but so much fun. I am curious to see how I do running a half marathon on no training and on expo legs! If you are going to race please stop by the running skirts booth! heck even if you aren’t racing, the expo is open to the public! I promise to take pictures of everything so I can share with you! The lobby of the hotel is supposed to have free WiFi so hopefully I will be able to get a post up in the morning. Have a great day everyone!

**GO NOW AND ENTER MY RAFFLE! You know you want to win a running skirt or compression socks or other cool goodies for only FIVE DOLLARS for an entry! Not to mention it’s for an amazing cause! Check out my Team in Training Raffle!

QOTD: Would you rather be a cat or a dog? why?

    Good luck coming up to Providence! I live in Massachusetts and we are having some gorgeous weather today! I would rather be a cat because they can do whatever they want, they get to sit and people watch out the window, they can sleep whenever they want and they don’t have to go out in the snow to “do their business” because they have their own litter box! They just like to sit and be good friends! That’s what my cats like to do anyway!

A peek behind the scenes of what a school morning A peek behind the scenes of what a school morning looks like around here. (Spoiler alert, it’s not as glamorous as some people think!)

Just a mom trying to get her kid out the door followed by procrastinating about work. Then I end up working late into the night instead. 😵‍💫🫣

🚨 If you would like a 🔗 to the lights in my laundry room just comment with the word LINK and I will DM it to you!

Some days I feel strong. Other days, I feel like I Some days I feel strong. Other days, I feel like I’m sprinting to catch up with a finish line that keeps moving.

Turning 40 has me reflecting a lot — where I thought I’d be, where I actually am, and what “success” really means. Who is in charge of making those rules anyway? 👀

I don’t have it all figured out. But I’m learning that I’m not behind. I’m exactly where I’m meant to be.
And if you’re struggling with this too… you’re not alone. 💛

Recently, I had the opportunity to enjoy EPCOT’s Recently, I had the opportunity to enjoy EPCOT’s new adults only bar, Geo-82. ✨ 

It’s beautiful, sophisticated, and very nostalgic. The attention to detail is astounding! 

You can even purchase a fireworks package and sip and dine while watching the show with the music piped in and lights dimmed.

My fave? The brown butter old fashioned, complete with spaceship earth stamped ice cube. 🧊 🥃 

Reservations can be made 60 days in advance on the Walt Disney World app, and walk-ins are not accepted at this time. 

I will admit it’s pricey, so something I would save for a special occasion! Very cool experience though and would 10/10 go again!

This kid is truly the best and is so deserving. (She did laundry, dishes and cleaned the bathroom today without even being asked!) 

Her birthday is towards the end of September and we will be sailing ON her actual birthday! How fun is that?  We had never sailed on the Wish so this truly is a dream come true. 🥹

Have you sailed on the Wish? Any tips?
