Hello and happy spring Friday!

The weather is finally warming up here in Indianapolis, and I am hoping it is here to stay.  It was so warm this week, that I was able to complete my 9 mile long run in shorts and a lightweight long sleeve!

This weekend I will be heading up to Fort Wayne to spend some time at home with my mom just because.  I leave right after work today and I can’t wait!

Mom and I…

Now for a little Five Things Friday action.  Thanks for hosting this roundup, Clare!! I love being a part of it each week 🙂

Five Things I Ate:

• Papaya.  It was so juicy and good!

• Endurance crackers and avocado tuna salad.

• My typical breakfast:  frittata (this week I used collard greens instead of spinach or kale…so good!), sweet potato with cinnamon, fruit.

• Butternut squash soup.  So comforting.

• A dinner salad topped with salmon made by Brian!! As much as I love cooking it was really great to have someone cook for me for a change 🙂

Five Workouts:

• Bodypump
• CXWORX
• Running
• Yoga
• Planning on going to Bodycombat with mom tomorrow 🙂

Five Things Making Me Happy

• Going to the Colts Cheerleader Final Audition Showcase last night!  Brian and I went to support one of my co-workers/friends.  I think this is her third year with the team, and she made it again!  She did absolutely amazing last night and I am so happy I was able to go.

• April Fool’s Day.  I played this little prank on Brian….

It was SO FUNNY! He didn’t end up even turning the TV on until the day AFTER April Fool’s Day.  Then, he picked me up from work and told me there was “something wrong with the TV.”  I couldn’t contain my laughter, and he instantly knew I had done something to trick him.  When we got home, I removed the tape and the remote still wouldn’t work!! We then spent about an hour trying to reprogram our remote control.  I still think it was an AWESOME prank 🙂

• This video of “Good Looking Parents Singing Frozen.”

My mom sent me the video saying this is what she thinks Brian and I are like on a road trip…and she is SO right, only we are actually singing 🙂  What can I say?  We both LOVE our music!

• Midweek lunch date at Patachou with friends 🙂
• Getting to hang out with Mom this weekend.  I can’t wait!
