The Little Things

Happy May!! As I mentioned last week, I had OPI’s Live.Love.Carnaval gel polish put on, so that’s the color of the week again for me! This polish has lasted SO well, and I just love the color

Live.Love.Carnaval OPI

So pretty, right? It especially went well with my blue and white striped dress I wore to work this week.

Here are a few random facts from my week:

1. This past weekend I didn’t open a computer from the time I left work on Friday until late Saturday night (like 11:30). I only opened my computer to watch an episode of “repeat after me”… and then didn’t open it until noon on Sunday. I did get online a few times on my phone, but I enjoyed a relatively screen free weekend, which I loved. I still haven’t completely adjusted to my previous way of interacting with screens since I’ve been back from Mexico.

2. My half marathon is tomorrow, and I’m feeling very much not ready. The timeline of my trip to Mexico came really at the worst point in training. We’ll see!

3. If your local grocery store has a “world foods” sort of aisle like mine does, go check and see if they have apple soda (mine carries a brand called “sidral”). I drank it daily in Mexico (I drink pop rarely here), and was SO excited to find it in my grocery store. I bought a few for special occasions!

4. I’m reading “All The Light We Cannot See” right now, which I was really looking forward to since I’ve had it on my requests list from the library since the beginning of January. I thought I would absolutely love it, but I’m feeling a little torn about it right now… We’ll see if that changes once I get into it a bit further…

5. When trailers for scary movies come on TV, I either mute and look away or I change the channel. I just can’t…

Now it’s your turn to share! Tell me one random fact from your week? Do you have a food from traveling that you’ve found somewhere at home or that you love to recreate?

    Wishing you lots of luck at your half marathon tomorrow! Sometimes we run our best when we least expect it and don’t have any expectations. Just go out and have fun!

    I cannot do scary movies either. They give me nightmares.
