I'm not lazy, I'm a convenience enthusiast

So, I enjoyed my last Friday off, I decided to take THIS Friday off too! Whoo hoo for PTO and a very flexible boss!

Our Thursday morning run was rained out. Rained out, stormed out, lighteninged out. So, we rescheduled for Friday morning, which was just perfect because I didn't have to be at work! So I enjoyed all 6 miles, gabbing with Michelle and surveying the storm damage around town. I remembered my handy dandy frozen wash rag (yay!) and took my time stretching and getting cleaned up. Ran a few errands, one of which included a trip to Charming Charlie's. Everyone has been just raving about Charlie's, and I looove cheap accessories! The store is merchandised very well, everything organized by color. So, you need a pink purse? Head the pink section; you can get earrings to match! I didn't get anything, because I didn't really need anything, but I enjoyed looking around. I'll def be back when I DO have an accessory need!

I also made a trip out the Childress Fabrics. Okay, for a girl who loves fabric, this is like, Fabric Heaven. They have it all! I'm looking to have our sofa and a chair recovered. Picking out just one from all that amazingness is so hard! But I found a few I love...def need to get a scanner so I can scan in my fabric choices. Maybe y'all can help me make up my silly mind! I also swagged some super sweet light blue linen. I've been looking for the perfect blue throw pillows for our bedroom. Guess I need to get to sewing! Photos to come once I actually get around to it!

Finally, our niece, Hannah, attended drama camp this past week. Friday night was the culmination, a play about pirates. She was one of the leads, Shorty Small. Fitting name indeed, as she is quite tiny! Isn't she adorable? She performed her role perfectly - and with a Scottish accent to boot! I just want to eat her up! (she's the itty bitty blonde one!)

My training scheduled called to walk 4 miles this morning and I did just that. Saw 2 babies, 2 cats, 3 dogs, 3 different men out smoking on their porches and lots of ladies walking! Managed to make it to Lowe's to rent a carpet sample board. I've hated our carpet since we moved in six years ago. BUT it was brand new, so I couldn't see paying to replace it. It's not bad, it just has the specs in it. Probably so that it won't show stains. BUT I always think there are stains! And now, it is really very gross. It was cheap carpet to begin with and it hasn't held up well. (thankfully!) Picking a carpet is like picking a couch fabric! Who knew there were so many beiges?!?! Trying to decide between the 3 in the lower right corner.

Now, Hubs and I are holed up inside as it's in the mid 90's today. I watched a show on TLC last night about hoarders. I'm tempted to go clean out our closets. We are by now means hoarders, I save very little, but you just can't be too careful. Ha! I don't want to end up having to shovel one of my rooms cleaned!

Y'all keep cool and enjoy the rest of you weekend. I'm keeping hydrated for my 11 miler tomorrow. It's only supposed to get down to 80 tonight so we're guaranteed for a warm run in the morning!
