Where is the long weekend going? It’s FLYING by way too fast! So much to accomplish this weekend, so little time left…
We did get this done yesterday:
And the outside lights are done too, along with the wreath and lighted door swag. Wahooo for the 68 degree weather in which to hang outdoor decorations – Mother Nature if you could do that again on January 2 I’d be ever so grateful!
We attempted to hit up Kohl’s at about 11:00 AM thinking some of the crowds would be gone (ha!! not so much!) Getting in and around was the easy part. But once we saw the LINES for the checkout … LITERALLY WRAPPED AROUND the inside of the store … I told MSP there was no amount of money we could save that would make it worth standing in THAT line for the next hour or more. Someone else can get 50% off the $10 Barbie, thank you very much.
Apparently I am more motivated by FREE TIME than I am by MONEY! 
In which case, let’s go waste some at Starbucks:
I was craving some green other than money so post-workout I had a big green smoothie:
And for dinner a big green salad:
Salad ‘fixins’ included spinach, dulse, yellow corn, nutritional yeast, one cooked egg, tomato, chia seeds, a drizzle of Annie’s Goddess dressing, and half an avocado.
I also attempted taking Rascal out with me for a run but (much like the Kohl’s visit) I turned around shortly into it because he was all over the place and messing with my running mojo! He got a short 1.5 miles – then I went back out to finish an additional 2.5 miles ALONE (and in a nice, neat straight line). Riley was NONE too happy to be left home – but knowing her, she’ll cause us to end up at the emergency vet and that would put a serious dent into my already limited xmas shopping budget. Her exercise will have to be limited to chasing her ball around the back yard until she can find a way to pay for her own healthcare! 
Have a SUPER Saturday! I’m considering another Kohl’s attempt… if I don’t put up a new blog post for the next 3 days you’ll know I’m stuck in the neverending checkout line!
