Friday Fives + Happy Birthday to my Hubby

It’s Friday!! AND we have a long weekend ahead of us – woot woot!

I’m particularly excited for the weekend because school has been ca-razy this week and with no class on Monday I feel like I’ll actually get to relax a little bit the next few days and not worry about school.

I drove down to San Diego to meet up with Henri who’s here for work and the plan is to try and fit in some time together today for his birthday. Tomorrow I’m driving home to celebrate my mother-in-law’s birthday, and then Monday I’m running a Memorial Day 5K! It’s definitely going to be a full and busy weekend but it’s going to be a LOT of fun!

Five exercises I did at the gym yesterday:

5 workouts

  1. Crunches 
  2. Tricep Pull-Downs 
  3. Leg Lifts
  4. Bicep Curls
  5. Wall Sits 

Five things I ate this week:

  1. Avocado Toast w/ lemon garlic spinach and eggs over easy IMG_7752
  2. A spinach wrap with lettuce and crockpot salsa chicken – this has become my go-to bring to class dinner! 
  3. Fruit Smoothie w/ chocolate-coconut granola IMG_7657
  4. Fresh cherries from the farmer’s market – these things are soooo sweet I ate the whole bunch by myself in two days! IMG_7750
  5. Chicken curry and vegetables over brown rice while watching Parenthood – I just started watching from the beginning (I’ve never seen it) and I already love it! I’m pretty sure I tear up at least once every episode!

Five videos you HAVE to watch:

  1. Jimmy Kimmel Cries as He Says Goodbye to David Letterman
  2. Trailer for the Boston Marathon Film – This movie is going to be so amazing! 
  3. This Mom Face-Planted During Her Daughter’s Proposal And Stole The Show 
  4. The Little Prince Trailer – I LOVE “Le Petit Prince” and didn’t know they were making a movie of it until the other day. I cannot WAIT to see this!
  5. Kids try breakfasts from around the world – The best quote by far = “I don’t study geometry.”

Five reasons I’m happy/excited:

  1. Oiselle’s swimsuits are coming back in just a few short weeks! I didn’t jump on the opportunity fast enough last year but I will NOT miss our this time around! IMG_7747
  2. My next race is in just 3 DAYS!!! I’m so excited to have fun and fast run!
  3. The new Erin Condren – horizontal layout is EXACTLY what I need! I love my current planner but I have big handwriting and tend to run out of space with the vertical layout. When is it too early to start your Christmas list??IMG_7555
  4. Getting accepted to run the BAA 10K!! It’s the weekend right before my dad’s retirement party so I’ll be home. After missing out on the excitement of the Boston Marathon last month it’ll be a blast to be part of another BAA event!bAA 10 
  5. Getting to see Henri on his birthday and spend a little bit of time together! When we found out he was going to be traveling this week for work we didn’t know if I was going to get to see him on his birthday so even the little amount of time we’ll have together today is going to be extra special!

And speaking of the Henri’s birthday….
