~ I can’t seem to get organized and get blog posts up lately.  Not sure why that is…  I need to sit down and make myself draft them.

~ Related: I’m still kind of in a reading rut.  I have three books on the go right now, which is unusual for me, and for the past few weeks I’ve had a hard time really getting into anything.  I did start Joanna Trollope’s modern retelling of Sense and Sensibility (for The Austen Project) yesterday and I’m really enjoying it, so here’s hoping that’s the end of my rut.

~ Peanut and I just got back from a four day trip to visit my parents.  It was nice to get some different scenery and Peanut had fun playing with Nana and making some new little friends, but we really missed Daddy.

~ I’m getting SO excited about Thanksgiving – especially about running the Turkey Trot with my sisters-in-law.  My goal is to beat my time from the last time I did this race (2010) and I think I might be able to do it!  I’ve been running four days a week and I feel like I’ve gotten faster in just a few weeks.  We’ll see on race day, though.

~ Today is the last day of my second Whole30.  Sis-in-law Emma and I did the program “together” via text messages, emails and Instagram.  It went well and I feel awesome (just like the last time I did a Whole30), but I’m ready to be done.  I want to have a slice or two of pizza, and I want to be able to grocery shop without obsessing over microscopic amounts of additives.  But I’ve been thinking about what tomorrow will look like and I think I’m going to try to stick to Paleo about 80% of the time, because it seems to be a good eating style for me.  I just want the freedom to have a treat now and then, and to buy turkey jerky without scouring every label.

Happy weekend, friends!
