Five on Friday

I have never been more grateful for my own car.  M's car has been in the shop for the last 4 days, so we have been carpooling.  Knowing that you are stuck at work until he's ready to go has made me truly appreciate my freedom.  We are also a few thousand dollars lighter, but I'm not going to think about that.

Have you heard of the app Heads Up?  Well if not, download it not, you also might have seen it on The Ellen Show.  It is pretty incredible.  My co-workers and I take a 15 minute break around 5 PM each day and play.

Christmas.  M and I were going to go to London for the holidays and visit his sister and brother-in-law, but after pricing it out and tracking flights for over a month we decided against it.  Damn the exchange rate.  After lots and lots of talking we decided to stay in LA.  I've made Christmas Eve dinner reservations at Mastro's, scouring Pinterest for Christmas dinner ideas and am even thinking about going to Mammoth for a few days.  It might not be what we are used to, but we will make it the perfect Christmas for us.

My half-marathon is less than a month away and I am freaking out.  What did I sign myself up for?!  I have 16 training runs left until the big day.  Honestly I can't wait to get back to my normal workout routine of Soul, Barry's and classes at work.  I miss the variety.

Big weekend plans ahead folks.  On my agenda is to clean, clean some more and organize.  I am so over the clutter in my life.  I can't wait to re-organize our apartment and purge.  These problems occur when you work for apparel companies.  Too much stuff!
