1. We got the (town)house! Sent in all the paperwork today. We will have about 10 days overlap of the two leases so we can get in the house and clean, paint, plan, which I am very happy about. Although we are not buying, I really want this place to feel like a 'home' and am planning on investing time and money to make it feel that way. I feel as though I've been living a transient lifestyle for the past few years, between a last minute, rash decision to move apartments in NYC and then my move to DC, and I'm excited to put down some roots.
2. Related, I am on LOCKDOWN for the next month. Between work travel, moving, and wedding season, after March 18th things are going to be GO GO GO for 8 weeks (including 4 travel days of 24+ hours in a 4 week period...ouch). I am taking the next four weeks to really focus on ME. Getting my workouts in and gunning for a PR if it's in the cards for the National Half, keeping up with deadlines at work, getting enough rest, eating healthy and preparing for the craziness.We will get the keys to the new house while I am in Cape Town, so I am hoping to have packed up and organized before I go so we can jump right into moving when I get home. Jet Lag + moving = Pretty sure I am just going to hire movers to do it all to ensure my relationship survives.
3. Amy's Soups are a lunch go-to of mine. I broke out of the box and tried a new flavor yesterday: Chunky Tomato Bisque. Oh hellll no. So freaking bad. Fire Roasted Southwestern Vegetable is where it's AT.
