March Loving/Not Loving

March 13, 2014

Loving that the sun’s rays are feeling stronger and spring is right around the corner.
Not loving that the wind chill this morning was 2 degrees.

Loving that I actually found a new bathing suit that hasn’t been deemed ‘frumpy’ by the peanut gallery (Caveman and kids).
Not loving that the other suit I dragged home looks so hideous on I think I am scarred for life….er for half a day maybe. I’ll never look at mint green macrame the same way again. **This is not the suit I bought. Just couldn’t resist.

Loving that I’ve totally got a jump on Easter this year and have already stashed away some basket goodies.
Not loving that in the process of stashing, I found a vintage trinket from a bygone era that I’d obviously forgotten. I think Thing 1 was about 5 when she was into all things Cars…think she’d still like it 7 years later? Yeah probably not.

Loving that I had a multi-year ‘wellness streak’ going with not so much as a single cold.
Not loving that it all ground to a sniffling halt this week when I came down with, you guessed it, a cold.
Super not loving that all I’ve been able to muster so far during what was supposed to be my hardest training week before the taper was yoga, walking and more yoga. I may not hit my half marathon A goal but I’ll be flexible out there as I walk those hills.

What are you loving? Not so much? What’s your favorite Easter/springtime treat?

    Glad I’m not the only one who stashes stuff and loses it.

    Loving my two days off.
    Not loving that I have to make them up in June.

    Ugh, I once found a Christmas present for an ex boyfriend that I’d bought for him before he was an ex…that stinks!

    Estamos simpaticos! This is my first cold of the winter. It isn’t horrible but I’m not loving feeling about 80% of normal. I did get those treadmill intervals done. Thanks for the push!

    I was thinking, “Rock on with the macrame!” Ha! Those suits always seem like they should look good but never do. Holy baby bulge/extra skin emphasizer!

    I need to start stashing stuff for Easter. I got a few things for Christmas when it was all on clearance. Funny enough, I’ll probably be buying something similar to that car. Mightning McQueen! as we say at home.

    It was 60 degrees Sunday and today it’s like 15. No wonder I’m sick.

    loving that it light out when I leave work.
    not loving the snow we got.

    It must have been a bit of a blast from the past to find that toy. Doing something like that always takes me back and makes me quite nostalgic. And then I remember how much hard work it was when the kids were young and that wave of nostalgia passes.

    Love finding those toys & treats hidden so well that they show up years later ๐Ÿ™‚ I was loving the brief flirtation with 50+ degree weather and so not loving the return of snow and arctic temps!

    I love Reese’s Eggs and am both happy/mad I gave up PB for Lent.

    I was going to be all kinds of excited if that was the suit you bought!!
    I’m not loving that you have a cold and that it is keeping you from training!
    I’m loving that next week is spring break – not loving that Jordan is gone right now (I love it for him but not for me!).

    I’m loving that it’s Friday afternoon and I’ve already cleaned the house so I don’t have to do it this weekend.

    I’m not loving that I can’t sleep very well at night now that I’m enormous and so congested i can’t breath at night.

    Ahh! You’ve brought back so many Easter memories! I used to love getting my Easter basket!

    my mom finds things for us years later, too! ๐Ÿ™‚ my fav Easter treat: mini eggs. ADDICTED. I usually make myself sick on Easter with them…refusing to do that this year!

    ha … totally get that! The worst one for me was when we ordered Bakugan things a few years ago when they were hot, then it got delayed so I went elsewhere, but when the other stuff arrived it was too late to cancel. We figured ‘oh well’ and kept it for his birthday … but he was totally DONE with Bakugan by then!

    Mike I think we still have Bakugan figures floating around here somewhere. Need another toy purge…

marciashealthyslice I'm a working mom who, as part of a mid-life challenge, decided to run a marathon for kicks. I didn't plan on it becoming a hobby, but it did. I qualified for Boston at my second marathon and finished the 6 World Marathon Majors in London in 2019. Set no small goals. You never know what you're capable of until you try!
