Office Decor with a Side of Packed Lunch

Happy Tuesday! Exactly 3 blog posts in 3 days, I'm on a roll! Still figuring out how to do all the blogging from my phone but I think I've got a system. Right now I'm hanging out in my car since I don't have a lunch scheduled and decided to eat my broccoli, carrots, grapes tht I packed. I've done this a couple of times now and have to say I really enjoy having my little cooler packed with healthy treats. Since I drive all day long I am so tempted to stop at DQ for a ice cold snack when it is 108 outside.  Typically that would be a Mochalatte or some other sinful snack that is not so good for me  So, it's just me, my lunch and I'm currently listening to Smooth Operator on the radio. ( I know this song is now stuck in your head....Smmmmooooooth AAhhhhhporatorrrrr, sorry! ) What a great way to take a quick break.  Kinda.
Great news though, I decided to decorate my "office" with some great inspiration. Everytime I glance at my clock now I see my little notes, keeps me on my happy high!! This morning as I was dropping off kids, I would randomly yell out, "Quick! Tell me something you are thankful for! Ready, Set, Go!". First of all, the kids looked at me like I was nuts because I'm usually yelling for other reasons.  Then they all giggled and they all said they were thankful for me! How awesome is that! I told them they get bonus points and can have Popsicles when we get home tonight.
Third great thing....I actually wore an outfit today that matched my favorite high heels. This never happens. These are those shoes you just had to have and bought while you were on a business trip.  You had such a small piece of luggage you were willing to carry them on to the plane to get them home.  Only, you find out later that their exact shade of white is really a pearl kinda white and only goes with like one outfit. Yep, that's these shoes. They are über comfortable so, not matter what happens today, atleast my feet feel good and look good too!! Bonus!
As for the rest of the day, since I am at my farthest away location for work today, I will be rolling in a bit later than usual. Hoping to get on the bike trainer for a bit since this is a cross training day. The bike thing is another story I've gotta share.  I'm trying to incorporate my beautiful, two wheeled caddie so I can actually justify my reasons for getting it last fall. I'll let you know how that goes! ;). I would love to do a sprint tri some day. Not sure how to fit it in, but looks like fun!  Added later : I accomplished my goal of riding for 30 minutes on the trainer.  I've gotta recondition my rear for riding on the stinkin' skinny saddle!!!  After a sweaty ride with some super speed, we headed to the pool to cool off.  After putting kids to bed, I talked Mark into making me German Pancakes for a late dinner.  Love it!!!  Nice way to end the day!

Going to try out something I like from some of the other blogs I read, thank you Hungry Runner Girl for the idea.....I'm going to ask you guys questions!

Do you have a pair of shoes you just love but never have a place to wear them?

Any kind of wall art at your house or in a special place to keep you motivated?

Have you ever purchased athletic equipment, you swore you would use, only to finally use it a year later?  :)  Any cool spinning class videos that you know of?

Let me hear back from you!  Have a great night!
