I have treated myself to several HOT runs lately. The trail is beautiful right now because we have gotten quite a bit of rain this summer. It was even nice enough to take the pup to the trail on the 4th of July for a quick 2 mile run/walk.
I've also been treating myself to lots of patio time. From relaxing on the glider with wine and music and puppy snuggles to sitting on the patio drinking with friends from the 4th.
I also treated myself to a new book on my Kindle. I read Gone Girl and thought it was pretty good, so I decided to give Sharp Objects a try. It is by the same author-Gillian Flynn. It is a dark and twisty story, but so far I really like it. I'll do a full recap when I finish the book.
We went to Home Depot on the 4th of July and they gave out free hotdogs...well, kind of free...I can never go there, Target, or World Market without spending at least $100. lol. I treated myself to some new tree clippers, weed killer, a rake, a 100 ft extension cord and a hanging basket for my plant that I got from a housewarming gift. The plant looks really good hanging on the porch. I'm not known for being good with flowers, so I hope to keep it alive!
How did you treat yourself this week?
If you liked Gone Girl and Sharp Objects, you should read Dark Places - super dark but good read!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the suggestion! I'll add it to my reading list.
DeleteI agree with Katie - after reading Gone Girl, I went on to read all of Gillian Flynn's books and found I enjoyed all of them!
ReplyDeleteOh I kill all plants and flowers! lol I've had a lot of hot runs too...I decided that it will make the October marathon feel great after training in this heat. :) My HUS treated me all weekend with going out to eat, ice cream, ice cream CAKE, some workout clothes, flowers, and PIZZA! :) I miss reading, but I just never find the time...and now that I'm studying for the personal trainer test, I REALLY shouldn't be reading anything BUT that book! haha
ReplyDeleteIt was your birthday...you deserve all the treats!!
DeleteStudying really cuts into reading time, but will all be worth it when you pass that test! :)
I've heard so many good things about Sharp Objects! I read Gone Girl and I loved it (in a stay-up-all-night-creeped-out kind of way). I can't wait to hear your review!
