Highlights of my weekend

One of my new co-workers came into my office the other day, from one of the other branches and she commented on this one painting I had hung in my office that I did in 2011. Back in December she ended up asking me if it was for sale as it would look good in her little baby girls bedroom. I didn’t want to sell it then — but after a bit of thought, a few days ago I e-mailed her asking if she was still interested in purchasing it and I sold it to her! What do you think? I haven’t painted since I did this last one in 2011. I miss it, I need to start up again.

The Guy got a new pair of Mizuno Wave Prophecy 3’s. The three’s are a new launch for 2014 and he’s super excited to use them. He doesn’t have a gym membership and he sure doesn’t want to take them out in this blizzard we’ve got going on all week, so hopefully he can test run them soon. mizunos

Over the weekend I went to visit my Mom’s Aunt in Guelph. This is a picture of a picture that we took at her daughter’s house in November. There she is featured in all her glory, online! shirley scott nancy

My CrossFit Journal (Year 2 Week 41)

I have nothing planned in my head as to what I’m going to blog about this week. I think it’s because I’m way too excited to head home to Newfoundland for Christmas. I’m going a few days earlier than I would normally so that’s VERY exciting. Especially since I’ll be there for my littlest nephews birthday.

Speaking of not having anything lined up, would anyone like to do guest blog posts on my blog during the holidays? All you’ve gotta do is email me with a blog post by Thursday night.

This weekend we ran around and did some errands, in the snow storm. Glad I wasn’t driving — a few points during our drive we fish tailed while making turns. That freaks me the eff out, and that’s when I used to go in ditches when I first got my license. One day I’ll tell you how many times that was. Today is not that day.

I’ve been listening to ChymFM radio station at work, in the car and at home on the internet radio player … because they play Christmas music 24/7!!!!!!!!!!!! Have a listen. They play a lot of the classics.

Alright, time to talk about my workouts last week. Only went twice. Better than not going at all I suppose. Let’s make it Christmasy looking. That’d be fun…

But just to have this post a little visually more interesting. Here’s what I wore on one of the days to to the CrossFit wod. Winter attire at its best (and a photo of me at work).crossfit workout gear

My CrossFit Journal (Year 2 Week 40)

Has it really been months since I did a CrossFit workout recap? Huge fails.

I usually post this kind of stuff on Monday but I wanted other things to go up before this (boring to you) post. I had an idea. Recap all my workouts once a month into one post? Does that sound like a better plan than posting it weekly? I want my blog to be enjoyable for you guys to read, too. Let me know, will ya?

I am almost at the 3 year mark of joining CrossFit. I’ve had a few bumps in the road where I attend 3 or 4 times in a month and then get all hardcore (I’m actually mediocre for those people who always do Rx’ed WODs), but I keep at it because I freaking love it.
