My Top 10 Things On Friday

1.  I'm totally making this amazing Key Lime Pie recipe this weekend (hopefully tonight!)  You can find it here and I only know about it thanks to Amanda!  Key Lime is one of my favorite pies, but I haven't had it in so long. That's mostly because John worked on a project in The Keys for a year and he had his fill for a lifetime, so I get boycotted, but not tonight my friend.  We'll see if I can't change his mind!  Just look at it!

yum!

2.  I've been highlighting my hair for about the last 6+ years and I've decided to quit.  Only because I don't want to spend the money.  We'll see how long this lasts...my roots appear to have darkened over time, so I wonder what color hair I'll actually have now?

*no, I do not think brown hair is 'icky', just the color mine is looking...ha.

3.  I'm so incredibly excited it's the weekend!  Words cannot express.

That is me, on the inside right now.

4.  This week has been less than stellar on the workout front.  I've made it to the gym once.  Count it. 1.  WTF Christina?!  Part of it was exhaustion, part of it was other plans were made, part if it was I forgot my shoes...so today, I'm off to run 10 miles and with 800's mixed in as speed intervals, and maybe a little bicep work.  My goal: finish the 10 in 90:00-91:59.  Can we do it?!  Well, lets just say, if I do, there will be a picture to prove it.

5.  I bought a dress for our friend's wedding we're going to this weekend.  It is hard for me to find dresses right now, but John is a fan...

with white sling backs (if I can find them) and a white cardigan to go over it for the indoor reception.

6.  In a little over a month, I'll be trekking my way up to the mountains again.  I'm so very excited!!!  Hopefully it won't rain the whole time we're up there this time!

7.  Speaking of travelling, I have spoken with an awesome lady-friend and we're going to try to swing a trip to NYC next fall!!!

We have lots of planning to do!  Girls trip!  Woo hoo!  More on this later!

8.  Right now, I'm reading

I was sucked in almost immediately.  It is well written and even though it jumps around from person to person, it is still easy to follow the story.  I'm about 1/3 of the way through it, but I would recommend it already.  I'll follow it up by going to see the movie I'm sure.  I really like Miss Emma Stone.

9.  Only 5 more weekends until:

That's right folks, 5 short weeks until the best season of the year rolls around.  Anyone that knows me, knows I live for Florida football!!  Woohoo!  AND they got smart this year and put the first few games at night instead of in the blazing heat of noon!  Novel idea...only took 106 years to figure that out...

10.  This one is on a serious note, so feel free to skip if you're only up for peppy today.  

Will the US elected officials EVER figure out their shit?!  

This:

solves NOTHING!  How about we realize that while we do need money to run our government, we can't live outside of our means.  Let's also realize, that while we can't live outside of our means, cutting everything in one shot is not going to work.  It is going to have to be a process.  Stop being selfish.  Figure this crap out.  K thanks bye.

Happy Friday!  Have a good weekend friends!
