put thee lime in the coconut

After an amazing five days in Minnesota, it is so good to be back in Iowa, albeit only for five days - then Nic and I both head up to Minnesota for ten glorious days!

It feels good to be back home though - I like my schedule and routine!

Monday mornings are my early mornings of the week as I have to make the hour trek to Burlington for some office hours. Normally I wake up super early and get out for a walk with Maia, but this morning, some guy I know locked himself in the hallway of his workplace... :-)  I headed up to try to let him out, but didn't have an extra key. I laughed and laughed, but at 5:30AM I don't think Nic thought it was that funny.

After dressing in my amazing new dress from anthropologie (who am I?!) that Maddie made me snag for a whopping $29 (!!!) I was ready to start my day. (No worries, I plan on wearing the dress again on Tuesday {ssshhhh, don't tell} and will take a quick picture.)  No fewer than 3 minutes within getting to work, I had two ladies compliment my dress - umm done and done - guess it is time to buy some more (again, who am I??).

Work absolutely flew by and we are having such glorious weather that I decided to get in a 5.5 mile run when I got home, with a pit stop at the Y.

I got home and refueled with a coconut mocktail. Coconut water is apparently great when it comes to replenishing fluids and minerals lost during exercise. My mocktail included 3/4 glass of plain coconut water (it comes in a variety of flavors), a splash of club soda and a wedge of lime. Delish!

My New Favorite Store...

...Anthropologie. Good thing the closest store is 4 hours away in Geneva, IL! AND good thing we happened to be staying in Geneva, IL on our way home from Cooperstown! That's where I snagged these adorable salt and pepper shakers. I could have brought home much much more, including an adorable dress, but $$...we just didn't seem to have enough left after a week in NY to be spending upwards of $200 on that adorable dress.
