So What Wednesdays...

This week I'm saying 
"So What if..."

So What Wednesday



  • I get annoyed every month my Cuptakes app doesn't update on the first of the month
  • I get even more annoyed when there aren't a ton of quality background to choose from for the month, and then I typically text Shannon and we discuss that they are all crappy this month
  • its almost time for me to like basketball.  March Madness is quickly approaching and I can't wait.
  • I have tried to run the past few weeks and both of my legs feel like they are 20986 lbs a piece, so I have been doing the elliptical machine instead.  I think I might need to start back with a c25k program if I ever want to start running again.
  • I am slowly but surely wanting to finish my latest book, however I hate having to look for a good book afterward.  I'm just now finishing Emily Giffin's "Where We Belong" - does anyone have a good recommendation for my next read? 
  • I wish GroopDealz didn't save my credit card information.  It makes it WAY too easy to just click.. buy now.. and now you have 213 new necklaces, bracelets, and maxi skirts.


Head on over to Shannon's blog to see what others are saying "So What to" this week.
What are you saying it to? Anything similar to me?

So What Wednesdays...

As I'm getting back into the routine of blogging
I also wanted to participate in one of my favorite link ups
with one of my favorite people {who just happens to be a blogger too}

So let's get down to the purpose of this post
What am I saying
So what to this week

So What Wednesday

So what if....

... I tried Greek yogurt for the first time.  I HATED it.  I think it tastes like chalk, it is thick, and has an awkward consistency.  I know its healthy, and I know its trendy, I just don't like it.

... All that I have wanted to wear as of lately is leggings, even to work.  Do you ever have those days/weeks/months, that you just think the world might be a little easier if you could just get away with a pair of comfy pants

...I don't quite understand Vine.  Sure everyone is doing it, but I'm not so sure I'm going to jump on the bandwagon.
...I couldn't find a kettle ball at the gym.  So I improvised with a medicine ball and a 10lb plate.  Not the safest thing this klutz could have done, but I did it.  And of course, as soon as I finished my 300 rep work out, I saw the kettle bells in a separate room.
... This past weekend in Holiday Valley, we left our condo. boarded/skied down to the base of the mountain to the bar...didn't like that bar.. went to the bar next door, had 2 drinks and then went home... when we had drinks at our place.  But hey.. we are always up for an adventure.
... It takes me an ENTIRE week to get through my Monday night shows.  Why do they ALL have to be on the same night? {Bachelor, Biggest Loser, Teen Mom2, Catfish, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and Vanderpump Rules}
... I have absolutely NO interest in college basketball until March.  Up until then, its just squeaky shoes on gym floors.

So what are you saying
"So what to?"

Head on over to Shannon's blog and let us all know!

Until next time, Happy Wednesday friends!

All things LOVED in March

1. THE Ohio State Basketball Team
I absolutely LOVE March madness, I love filling out my bracket, rooting for the team that I chose in each game, and watching some amazing upsets [hello Moorehead state! i'm still impressed!] However, this year its more than just filling out a bracket and cheering on who I have going to the final dance.. its cheering for my beloved Buckeyes! and i have to admit - its been a fun season watching them! They just look like they are having fun [well let's be honest, they are having fun! they are #1 in the country!] and just to prove that they are just in it for a good time.. if you haven't seen the guys singing Miley Cyrus's Party in the USA - its totally worth watching!


2. Nude Shoes

I picked these lovelies up at Marshall's a few weeks ago. I wear them with just about everything! I love them, and they can go with brown or black!

3. Nature's Finest Jam

My mom brought this on vacation with the family last month, and I had to go out and get my own.. its just so fresh and delish!

4. Morning Star Spicy Black Bean Burger

I always tell people that I could be a vegetarian if it wasn't for bacon, and I could be a vegan if it wasn't for bacon [obvi], cheese, [and sometimes sour cream]. However, you will never hear me claim to be either - unless i claim it with my disclosures. We have been on a black bean burger kick lately - and speaking of kick - these have a little of one too! they are delish - we grill them up for dinner and even J likes them!

5. LuluLemon

Remember this post? Well I think I may have found a place to solve the world's problems... err well at least some of my own personal problem!!! [can i get a hallelujah?!]

I have been told by a few marathon runners that LuluLemon is the end all be all place for workout apparel. Well while out shopping the other day J and I decided to stop in and see what all the hype is about! HOLY customer service! I loved it, they were totally willing to work with me to find a sports bra that fit! [please cue the hallelujah chorus again] and all of their merchandise has kind of witty names to it - kind of like OPI nailpolish!

I hope you have had a wonderful March!

Doesn't it seem as if it has just flown by?!!?

Happy St Patty's Day!

Today is the day that everyone claims to be Irish!

HAPPY ST PATTY'S DAY!

[even if you claim it 1 day a year or 365 days a year like me;)]

its amazing how my planning for this wonderful holiday has changed over the last few years [i sure do miss college on days like today! right - Aly?] it used to be waking up at 6am and looking all cute in our green outfits that we would plan out for a full month and now its just another day in the office waiting to get out and put green die into a nice frosty cold one at the end of the day!

I will say that this year doesn't look much different than last year

same shirt, same hair style
[I call this hair style, "oh sht, i woke up late and need to get into work quickly"]
[perhaps next year I need to find a new green shirt, i might need to retire this one - 3 years running may be pushing it a bit!]

Tonight we have plans of working out, cooking dinner and going out with a few people to enjoy a green beer or two while we watch the beginnings of March Madness

J and I have a little friendly competition between our brackets, the loser has to take the winner out to dinner.. and no J, Chipotle doesn't count as a nice dinner!

So who are you rooting for this year! I have OSU and Kansas in the big dance [really i just want to talk smack with Kelly during the game - ha! i love friendly competitions!], with OSU winning of course... LETS GO BUCKEYES!

So to wrap up all of these ramblings...

I hope you have a WONDERFUL and SAFE
st. patrick's day
and good luck with your brackets for March Madness!
