Monday, Monday, Monday.
1. I was watching the football game last night (GO GIANTS!) and realized I could NOT be a football player because I wouldn’t want to be on a field in the dead of winter. Obviously that’s the only thing stopping me from a career in the NFL, and not the fact that I have only a fuzzy idea of the rules of the game.
2. “Wine takes us from the world, and coffee restores us to it again. In between, we eat.” Um, yes.
From The Table Comes First by Adam Gopnik, which I’m currently reading. Don’t worry, I’ll be posting a review soon!
3. I was supposed to go to my first, intro CrossFit class on Saturday. I’ve been interested in giving it a shot basically since my boyfriend first called me announcing he’d puked in the bushes after a 12 minute workout a couple of years ago.
That probably says something weird about me.
4. You know what happened instead Saturday?
First snowfall of 2012 here in D.C. And I was cold…. and didn’t want to trek to the other side of town to the CrossFit gym where the class was… Soooooooo… yeah. Instead I went running and drank red wine.
Maybe I’ll make it in spring?
5. Today = one week closer to my trip down to Florida! Not that I’m counting, or anything. 
6. I’ve decided that I am not a winter person. I mean, snow is beautiful, but this gloomy, sun-less weather is really bumming me out. 
How expensive is a sun lamp? Or my own personal sun?
7. I bought this pretty bowl from Anthropologie the weekend Alexa was visiting to hold the pieces of jewelry that I wear daily but take off to workout, like my watch and bracelet.

8. My special Sunday morning breakfast yesterday.
Three scrambled eggs and diner-style sauteed breakfast (sweet) potatoes. It literally held me over for a good four hours.
9. Although I have literally zero idea what I’m doing, I’ve been lifting more weights at the gym. 
This means I stare at what the other women standing around the free weights are doing, and – if they look less deer in headlights than myself – I try to copy their moves.
So far I think it’s been effective.

Time to get to work!
What are you Monday things? How was your weekend??
hahah this was great. You gotta give crossfit a try! I’m actually heading to a new crossfit today now that I’m back at school and I’m a little nervous to be the ‘new girl’ again.
Love the wine and coffee quote, I’m thinking I need that as either a tattoo or hanging in my kitchen somewhere
And gorgeous bowl, isn’t anthro dangerous?! love everything in there.
I know, can you believe I missed out again?! Let me know how it goes for you today though! And yes – i could live there in Anthro… if Whole Foods and Antrho ever combine, I’m in BIG trouble. Happy Monday!
Love the quote… “Wine takes us from the world, and coffee restores us to it again. In between, we eat.” TOTALLY! Anthro always has adorable home goods- so thankful to have a family connection [or else I'd be really breaking the bank]!
P.S. I was supposed to go to my first BodyPump class this weekend and like you, that didn’t happen… Winter weather woes
I just got a sunlamp and it’s rocking my world. Worth every penny on a dreary January day.
Molly: Oh my gosh, did you really?! Where’d you find one? Thanks for reading.
