Five Friday Favorites 07/15/16

Happy Friday! How was your week? It went by super quickly for me, so I certainly can’t complain. Still, though, I’m ready for the weekend. I hope you are, too, and you have a good balance of fun and relaxation on tap! And before we get to all that fun and relaxation, let’s look back at the good stuff from the week. Sound good? Let’s do it.

My dad’s burgers

We’ve had burgers on the weekly menu for a few weeks and we finally actually got to them. (Stuff often gets put off due to laziness or other evening engagements.) I know I’ve said it before, but my dad grills what are pretty much my favorite burgers ever. I topped mine with homemade ketchup and spicy brown mustard, and that simple dinner was freaking delicious.

People who let you turn left

It rained yesterday, and you probably know that rush hour traffic in the rain is the worst. Honestly, it was barely drizzling, but people just lose their ability to drive in the rain. Anyway, I was leaving the wrong destination (I didn’t know where I was going) and heading to the right one, and needed to turn left in all this icky traffic. I was fully prepared to just turn right and turn around later, but some lovely human being let me turn left immediately. Random acts of kindness, people. They’re real and they’re so nice.

My foam roller

I have this foam roller and I love (to hate) it. Since I’m doing this whole running a race thing for real, the deal I made with myself is to be super on top of my recovery and taking care of myself. That means my foam roller and I are getting extra friendly. Because I’m not going to get hurt. Nope. Not happening.

Year of Yes

When my aunt agreed to run Disney with me (thanks, Kim!), she said that she was listening to Year of Yes and Shonda Rhimes basically told her to. I asked if she was enjoying it and she said yes and that I should listen. Yesterday, my mom downloaded it and we listened to it in one day. Shonda reads it herself, and is hilarious and honest and amazing. 

I don’t know what “yes” I need to say. But I’m definitely thinking about it. Listen to it – or read it, if that’s your thing. 🙂

All the chocolate

I went to a newly-opened Whole Foods last week to explore and find fun new things to eat. I also, honestly, was on the hunt for dark chocolate, having finished off my stash. One of my life rules is to always have chocolate on hand. And, well, I didn’t know how to decide which chocolate to buy. So I got several. In case you were wondering, they’re all great. Want extra-dark? Go for the Chocolove or Green & Black. Something a little softer? Those Theo bars are for you. The moral of the story?

If you can’t decide what chocolate to buy, you should definitely buy them all.

When you can't choose which chocolate to buy, buy them all. #bgbcommunity #fitfluential Share on X

What’s one of your life rules?
