1. I have been eating peanut butter like it’s my job lately. I guess that pregnancy aversion is out the window… I’m blaming it on the fact that the baby needs lots of healthy fats and protein. 
2. I slept 10 glorious hours on Tuesday night. It was one of the best nights of sleep I’ve gotten in awhile. No weird dreams. No insomnia. No waking up starving. Amazing.
3. I don’t think my calves have ever been so sore after Saturday morning’s (short) run. The combo of hills and running outside will do that I guess. Needless to say, I was screaming at the foam roller earlier this week.
4. The weather has been in the low 70’s and sunny this week… Umm, can you say perfect?!
5. Getting your sweat on and cleaning your whole house does wonders for blowing off some steam. It also makes you super productive. I guess there’s some positive in getting super de duper frustrated? 
6. My photos have truly been craptastic lately thanks to the decreasing amount of sunlight. I need some tips you pro photographers.
7. I’ve really been enjoying my new workout plan so far! I can’t wait to tell ya’ll more about it at the end of this week! I’ve never felt more out of shape in my life, but that’s a whole other story.
8. I need a new show to watch either online or on Netflix… Any suggestions?
9. That’s all I have today. See ya later alligator!

Do you ever play with the ISO settings on your camera?
Message me later
I am clueless when it comes to that stuff! I could definitely use your tips!
It got cold this week, we are in the minuses (Celsius) this morning!
I used to run.
I joked the other day that I need a punching bag
I love Vampire Diaries which starts next week, but also awesome is New Girl and Two Broke Girls.
Oh wow, that is way cold!!
Dexter!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s been nasty, muggy and hot here.. bleh.. I am ready for low 70s again!
I’ve heard lots of good things about Dexter! Is that one online or on Netflix? I haven’t seen it!
Game of Thrones or Parenthood! totally opposite but they are both so awesome!
I’m enjoying the 70s in Pittsburgh, too – I think it’s supposed to get chilly this weekend, though!
Um can I steal your weather on Sunday for the marathon?!?!
I’ll try to send it your way!
The weather has been rainy and gross here in MA!
I have been overdosing on PB too!
When I’m upset I just try to breathe and think about things that make me happy
Army Wives!
The weather has been gorgeous here too!
definitely Netflix Pretty Little Liars if you aren’t already following that show! Also, gossip girl is a classic or modern family is hilarious!
I’ve considered Pretty Little Liars! I’ll just have to go for it!
Pretty Little Liars is great and if you like that you’ll love Revenge on ABC. The first episode of season 2 was last Sunday. Season 1 should be on Netflix
The weather by me has been decent, but definitely not as gorgeous as the stuff you’re experiencing! Although Miami is great for warm sunshine, the warmth is NOT so great when you start wishing for cooler fall breezes!
That’s exactly how Phoenix is so I know what you mean!
Cleaning the entire house is so therapeutic for me too, great way to blow off steam. Bonus that you have a nice clean house when you’re done! Not sure what you’re in the mood for show-wise on Netflix, but if you want something quick, light, and funny I’d watch Coupling. It’s like the British version of Friends, really funny.
Oh I love Friends so I’ll have to check that one out! Thank you!
I don’t know of The Good Wife is on Netflix but it is one of my favorite shows!!
The weather is getting better here! It is still pretty warm most days(low 90′s, high 80′s) but we are in for a cool down this week. I think it is actually going to be a high of 59 this weekend. I am a little bit excited about it!!
My son has been eating pb on a spoon like crazy over here too! Haha!
I really like the show “New Girl” and I have to catch up on season one of it!
Happy Thursday!
Your son knows what’s up!
Cleaning is one of my favorite (random) ways to blow off steam! Love it. Whenever I’m upset or frustrated, I clean. There’s just something so satisfying about having a clean place when other areas of my life are causing me stress.
Yes, very true!
Netflix-Once Upon a Time!! I just started & am obsessed! I loooovvveee it. It’s SUPER good, girl.
Lovin’ the good sleeps too
Wahoo!
And yes, cleaning is a GREAT way to blow steam. Let me know if you wann chat & blow more steam?! I ‘m a good listener (most of the time….sometimes I wanna join in blowing off steam….whole other story. HAH)
Haha it’s nice to vent together sometimes.
Looking forward to chatting lots next weekend!
current shows: Big Bang Theory, How I Met You Mother, Dexter. I highly recommend all of them!
The weather has been warm here too lol I feel it’s messing with my allergies haha
So jealous of your weather! It was actually below freezing when I woke up this morning, and it doesn’t look like it’s going to get much better throughout the day. Brr. Makes me want to stay in and watch TV all day. Oh! And have you watched Dexter? That’s one of my favorite shows that I’m currently catching up on
It know it’s a few years old but I just finally watched Veronica Mars (it was only of for 3 seasons) and really enjoyed it.
Pretty Little Liars
Private Practice
Grey’s Anatomy
Make it or Break it
Those are some of my Netflix faves!
Awkard on MTV is actually pretty funny.
The weather has still been a bit too hot here this week, but we’re suppose to get a cold front tomorrow and I’m so excited! I haven’t gotten to watch it yet, but I keep hearing great things about Downton Abbey.
I do too! I started the first episode and am still trying to decide if I like it or not. I suppose I should give it a few more episodes to decide for sure though!
Glad you got a good sleep and some of your frustrations out! Hope those frustrations stop soon, too
I have a camera flash trick I use in the fall/winter if you want to hear about it!
Is it your paper/envelope trick? I tried that last year and for whatever reason it didn’t work for me.
I’m guessing I did it wrong?
I’m so glad you’re enjoying your new workout program!
Ha ha. I have no photography tips I don’t even know how to work my iphone camera properly;)
I agree with Annette above. Once Upon A Time is SO good!
Yeah the sunlight is your best tool as a photographer. I was going to do some recipe creation this morning but realized it was way too dreary to photograph. You can adjust your ISO and aperture to get a decent shot, but natural sunlight is the way to go.
Downton Abbey!
And I second Parenthood–love that show!
I’ve just bought daylight lamps for the Winter! It’s about 8 degrees on average here in Ireland already. Feels even colder! What’s your fav peanut butter out of interest?
Oh my goodness, SO COLD! My favorite PB? Hmm my favorite everyday peanut butter is Adam’s All Natural, but I do also love PB & Co. White Chocolate Wonderful and Dark Chocolate Dreams on special occasions!
I had a whopping 9 hour sleep last night! You beat me! Feels so good, though
Cleaning the house is one of the best things to do when you are angry/mad. Especially if something really needs scrubbing! Jealous of your just about perfect weather, although I am loving this fall weather. Show on Netflix – The Killing or Hell on Wheels. (Hell on Wheels is a show I would not have picked but my husband made me watch it with him and I love it!)
We need some of that weather here! The high is 57 here on Sunday!
Sorry you were frustrated, but cleaning is a great way to channel that energy!! Wanna come over here next??
Haha I wish I could! Mostly just to see you though!
Ahhh, I really need a foam roller…and some burning calves haha. Thank goodness PB was never an aversion for me – and do joke that if my baby’s allergic to pb that I’ll send it to its bubble whenever I want to eat it haha.
My standard shows: how I met your mother, Hawaii Five-0, Grey’s and Modern Family. I think I need a new one too!!
I find music helps me blow off steam – especially if I get the music matching my mood…it helps!
The weather has actually been unseasonably warm/muggy in PA the last few days! But the high on Sunday is only in the upper-50s, so looks like we’re in for a change!
The weather has been super nice here!! In fact, last night at our running training practice, half of us girls were in sports bras because we were so hot! (However, we were running 5 x 1km repeats, so the tough workout probably had more than a little to do with it too. haha)
We left for practice just after 6:20 and by the time we were done our 2 mile warm-up, it was completely dark and the streetlights were on!! I can’t believe how quickly the sun is down and how late its coming up! The longer days are definitely what I miss most about summer.
Ps. Super happy you’re back on PB — I think my life would be incomplete without it.
I dislike the shorter days too! And yes, I am thrilled I’m back on my peanut butter kick too.
I’m such a loser and recently became obsessed with Murder She Wrote. It’s succh a good show!
Watch game of thrones it is a really good! But a bit gory at times :S
xo Emilie @ Hungry Delights
Revenge!! It’s SO. GOOD. The second season just began last Sunday. I wonder if the first is out on DVD? It’s so addicting!
My boyfriend and I watch netflix every night and have gone through so many series already! Recently we had no Idea what to watch and found the show “Life”! It is SO good, I totally recommend it. It is about a Man who set up for a murder, went to jail for 12 years for the crime he didn’t committ and then was exonerated. He was a cop and once he is let out of prison, he becomes a cop/detective again. Every episode is about a different murder he and his partner solve, but also continues to tell his story. If you like crime/action/funny shows, this one is great!
That does sound good! I’ll have to check it out! Thanks!
How I Met Your Mother is a favorite of my husband’s and mine. We like The Big Bang Theory too. I don’t have Netflix, though, so I don’t know what they offer!
Parenthood! You will love it.
I need a new show to watch too… so after I post here I am going to go through the comments and see if people have suggested anything! Yesss for serious amounts of PB back in your life, keep on going with that amazing substance that now makes regular appearances in my life!
Nothing wrong w/ eating some pb.. everyone needs those extra fast
