HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY SISSY, she is the best sister a girl could ask for!
Before leaving St. George we went for salads and breadsticks for our final hurrah.
Brooke’s day was made when we stopped for some mini M&M’s for our 3.75 hour drive.
I don’t know how my mom lived without us for the past 12 days.
Came back to a yard full of snow.
Feels good to be back to my lazy/random meals at home—> turkey burger (a la Costco freezer aisle), 2 lb sweet potato and almond butter and honey on a bagel.
Spent our evening taking down Christmas and now our apartment feels naked.
I may be the only human that freezes their gummy bears but I just love them frozen, I never said I was normal.
Netflix, stop making me feel like I watch too much Friends by questioning me if I really am STILL watching…
What is your sentence for the day!?!?

Michele @ paleorunningmomma
Lots of work to do today!! Rushing around now that we’re back in the swing has proven to be challenging, but I’m keeping up and feeling good so far. We have some snow too!
Ashley @ Kickashmom
Happy birthday to your sister! I want snow here! It’s so cold but no snow!
Monica
You can have our snow. We’re stuck in the Polar Vortex. Send help!
Ashley @ Kickashmom
I’ll take it! As long as you still have electricity. I’m not much for cavemanning it!
Monica
No give-backs. You get what you get! ;)
Brynn
Netflix asks me the same thing on Gilmore Girls! Ha!
Sarah @ KS Runner
Happy birthday to your sister! Hope you have a fun day planned!
My sentence for today is: I need a nap. It was a late night last night and now I am spending the whole day at work when I just want to sleep. And its -8 outside, so I really don’t want to leave the house!
We commented that our house looked naked when we took our tree down too. Maybe it needs to stay up all year? Just decorate it for every holiday.
Jennifer
I’m heading to the gym to lift and super excited to try out my new Zoodle maker for dinner!
Hollie
Awe happy birthday to your sister! It’s always so refreshing to see how close you are with your sister and family. I’m glad you are having an enjoyable time Janae. We will have to catch up soon!
Sam @ The Running Graduate
I’ll be Netflix-ing all day, and going to sign up at the new Planet Fitness in town! It’s weird to have a rest day during school break because I don’t have much to do with that time.
Amy @ They May be Light
Happy birthday to your sister! We haven’t seen her on the blog for awhile!
It’s always bittersweet when vacation ends – it’s awesome because you’re back where you’re confortable, but at the same time you’re back to the regular.
I don’t even know if that makes sense. It’s 5 am. Now you know what my seminary students go through every morning!
Brenda @ Don't Lose the Trail
You are so lucky that Brooke is so good with flying/road trips. A lot of kids would HATE spending that much time in the car and be completely terrible.
My sentence: Today I’m going to the movies to distract myself while I wait for a call about a job!
Karien @ Running the Race
Sentence for the day: I NEED A RUN!!
Monica
Happy birthday to your sister! My sentence for the day would have to be, “I’m ready for Spring!”
Jaime
Me too! I’m over the cold, cold winter. Send some sunshine!
Heather @Shoes Run 50
Today is my birthday too! Happy birthday to your sister!
Erica { EricaDHouse.com }
Netflix keeps asking me that during my Friends binges as well. They need to quit judging me.
Heather @Fit n Cookies
With there was a snow delay today, haha. That would’ve made for an extra awesome Wednesday! Welcome home!
Liv @ Healthy Liv
First day of second semester college classes is today, eep!
Liv @ Healthy Liv
And happy birthday to your sis!
Christa @ Living Unbalanced
sentence for the day: smoothie’d & coffee’d up and ready to carpe the heck out of this diem.
Kaci @ Running the Next Step
I hate when Netflix asks me. I feel like it’s judging me and telling me I should do something with my life. Luckily I can ignore that and watch another episode lol
[email protected]
Happy Bday Sissy!!!
I get made at Netflix too….Assume i’m ALWAYS watching, Netflix, assume I’m always watching.
Shay
Seeing HR to do paperwork for my NEW JOB!!!!!!!!!
Nona @ RunningHigh
Haha, my boyfriend asked me that. He came into the living room and said “you’re STILL watching Friends!?” Um, yes.
Just finished 8 miles in 20*. I’m ready to tackle today.
Sarah
My sentence– it is SO cold and I really need caffiene.
Sally @ sweat out the small stuff
It’s only day three back at work and I am already overwhelmed!! Ahhhh calgon take me away!!!!
meredith @ The Cookie ChRUNicles
I used to love freezing candy bars and all sorts of chocolate! My dad and I called it our chocolate stash and when I lived at home, we would decide to raid the freezer together for an evening frozen snack. So fun.
[email protected]
Happy Birthday to your Sissy! Sisters are truly the best!
Sentence of the day is Happy hump day. As much as I hate the saying, I am so happy that by noon, the work week will be halfway over!!!
Rachel Runs Music City
Sentence of the day: Why am I at work when I could be running before it gets bitterly cold!?
Annie R
I LOVE Brooke’s face in that picture of you guys taking down the Christmas decorations. My feelings exactly, girl.
Also is it weird I’m jealous of your snowfall? We’ve just barely had a few dustings here in Boston and I’m ready for some real stuff. I figure if it’s going to be FREEZING it might as well be pretty!
Lisa @ Running Out Of Wine
Happy birthday to your sister! Its been tough getting back into the swing of things this week- and the weather isn’t helping! (It dropped into the teens and the snow we got yesterday has turned to ice…)
Heather @ Run Eat Play
Sentence for the day: It’s WAY too cold in Chicagoland.
Great pics! Kids seem to love those M&M tubes. My thirteen year old still loves them!
Amanda @ Slimplify Life
I freeze Starbursts and Skittles because it is heavenly goodness AND so that I don’t eat #alltheskittles and #allthestarbursts in one sitting.
Tricia @ A Couple of Dashes
I didn’t know they still sold those containers of mini M&M’s! I used to get those all the time when I was little and collect the containers for my treasures!
Natalie @ Never Serious Blog
Oh man, I LOVE mini M&Ms! I loved how you could pop open that little tube and “drink” them!
The first humpday of the New Year is feeling rough, and it’s a LOOOOONG week. But we have a super cold day in Texas which is making me feel nice and cozy inside!
Sabrina
I have a job interview today and I am hoping its the light at the end of the tunnel!
Megan @ Skinny Fitalicious
Happy birthday to your sister! Hope you have fun celebrating. Sentence for the day-> strengthen training rocks!!!
Becky @ Ok, so here's the plan
Our cable box does that too – it threatens to go into standby mode if you don’t tell it you’re still there. Judgmental technology.
I’m getting my hair cut for the first time in over a year and a half today. I just keep not getting it done! :)
Caroline @ The Little Things
I don’t like the shaming that netflix does when it asks if you really want to continue watching. HAHA. Oh well. :)
molly
We freeze our gummies! And chocolate chip morsels :)
Your random dinner looks great to me!
My sentence: knowing I have hot yoga tonight will help me get through my long day at work!
[email protected]
I feel like Netflix does it more and more the longer you watch it. Which adds to the insult :).
tess
That is HILARIOUS. I’ve never watched a Netflix marathon before but I’m a marathon watcher so I’m sure it would be shouting at me. That’s so funny. My husband and I watched 13 hours of a show just the other day and at the end of the marathon day I said, “I’m sad”
He said, “it might be for the best…”
It reminded me of Chandler and Joey and the “FREE PORN!”
I love Friends.
Randi
Sentence for the day: I am ADDICTED to Serial. You (HRG), Never Serious Blog, and Ok, Here’s the Plan got me hooked. Thanks ladies ;-)
Happy birthday to your sister!!! How is the baby? Will he be making his debut soon? Wishing your sis all the best!
Kristen
My sentence for the day? I woke up not hungry so ate a light breakfast but now I’m RAVENOUS!
Kay
Haha Netflix is so sassy. Happy birthday to your sister!
Kristen @ Glitter and Dust
Unusually warm temperatures (and by warm, I mean 55 degrees and sunny) where I live, so I will absolutely be taking advantage with a long run and time outside.
Happy Birthday to your sister!!
Sami
I own all of the seasons of Friends and watch at least an episode every day, BUT I just started watching on Netflix so I wouldn’t have to change discs as often. And.. there are moments that are cut from the episodes on Netflix – I am the weirdo that recognizes this…… Not ashamed.
Jane @ 50statecanuck
When is spring??? LOL When I left the house this morning is was -22F with the windchill…expected to get colder throughout the day! This is when I LOVE my treadmill!!!
Jaime
-22F???? Oh my! I cannot even fathom such coldness. I’m definitely ready for spring, too! Sunshine, sunshine, where are you? ;)
Jane @ 50statecanuck
Haha!! I agree…although I try not to think about that too much because really, spring won’t happen until April…maybe not even until May! LOL!
Bethany
My fiance’s mom freezes everything!!! Including gummy bears! :)
Laura
I want to go back to bed!
Emily
Frozen candy is simply the best! Frozen Junior Mints might be my favorite, though.
Kris @ Canadian Girl Runs.
I TAUGHT MY FIRST SPIN CLASS LAST NIGHT!!!
Staci @ Hoosier Running Mom
My kids are thrilled with having snow. I don’t care if it snows I just need a decent place to run instead of country roads! I love my gummy bears cold but not frozen!
Amy B
I had that exact screen this weeked. It was great to start watching from episode 1.
Linda @ TheFitty
Please don’t hate me, but ive watched so much Friends that I’m now tired of the repetitive humor–don’t get me wrong, I love friends but it’s really predictable after a while I guess that goes with all shows!
Laura @ This Runner's Recipes
Happy birthday to your sister!
My sentence for the day: Avoid leaving the house because it is below zero outside and the wind is making little tornados out of the snow.
Naturally Carly
I just don’t feel like running today. :)
Suzy
Quite often I use the *fists smash together* gesture from that Friends episode where they came up with a new middle finger gesture. If people hadn’t seen that episode, they think I’m crazy. Well, they think I’m crazy anyway.
Katie @ Peace Love & Oats
hahaha Brooke’s face in the Christmas tree photo! She doesn’t look happy that it’s going down either!
Kelsey
Busy Busy Busy – but the day might end with a new car! =)
jan
Haha Netflix does that to me too! Right now I’m watching Hart of Dixie but when I finish it I’m moving onto Friends!
Leslie @ Life Begins @ 30?
I hate when Netflix asks if you’re still watching the show. Isn’t the point of Netflix to facilitate binge watching?!?!? :)
Angela
You should try Trader Joe’s Gummy Tummies! Sooo good!
I love watching “Mindy Project” on Hulu…not sure if it’s on Netflix.
Emily
I accidentally left a bag of gummy bears in my car and it is FREEZING here….it was the best mistake I have ever made because they were delicious when I ate them again…I may never go back to normal gummy bears again :)
Fiona @ Get Fit Fiona
Brooke’s face in that Christmas tree photo is priceless. She looks disappointed that Christmas is over too.
Ashley @ A Lady Goes West
I’m watching Weeds on Netflix now. Soo good!
Daisy @ Fit Wanderlust Runner
Happy birthday to your sister! Netflix is doing the same thing to me since I have been watching Friends nonstop!
Sam @ Grapefruit & Granola
Happy birthday to your sister! Freezing gummy bears actually sounds like a genius idea.
Kimberly @ Keeping Up With Kimberly
Barely a dusting of snow here in Kentucky but we’re staying cozy with peppermint hot chocolate. I got to work from home today so I’m wearing my favorite sweat pants :)
jessica
Awe. Brooke looks sad that Christmas decorations came down. Lol.
Sentence for today : work is boringgg.
Ah not much going on.
Barbara
I love frozen bite size peppermint patties.
I also love when the Christmas decorations are put away, I love the clean feeling of “openness”. Great fresh start for the new year.
Amy @ Life to the Full
Happy birthday to your sister!
My sentence for today: Ran 4 miles this morning and now it’s time to start packing for a roadtrip tomorrow!
Rachel @ Blonde with a Chanse
I’m so thrilled that Friends is on Netflix!!
Kayse @runhappyrunhealthy
Wheres the Snow? Anchorage is having a very weird winter.
I always tell Netflix to stop judging me when it asks if I am still watching. I feel like its actually asking “have you really not found anything more productive to do with your life?”
Carson
Frozen gummies?!?!?! GENIUS!
Natalie
Sentence of the day:
I can’t wait to run again!! :)
Flower
54 degrees is heaven to wake up to in Florida! :)
Erin @ Erin's Inside Job
Visiting friends is nice, but I think Im ready to head back to Chicago!
Monika
No time for Netflix/DVR shows because SO MUCH WORKING OUT (and work). Come to me now, weekend.
Mary Jo @ Run and Smile
I love working in a school when there is a snow day and I can stay home and write my blog.
[email protected] Life Is Sparkling
There’s no such thing as too much Netflix. Never.
Ellen
Happy Birthday to your sister! One of my favorite posts of yours was when she joined you at the end of a tough race and ran the final 6??? miles with you in her jeans and flip flops. That spoke volumes about your relationship, you are blessed to have each other.
Elle @ The Clean Project
Having dinner with my best friend to celebrate her engagement!!
Ashley @ Saving Money in your Twenties
happy birthday to your sister!! It definitely took me like 5 mins to figure out what you guys were spelling in that first picture, haha!
Ashley
Friends will be my next Netflix binge! Happy Birthday to your beautiful sister!!
Kate @ The Endorphin Junkie
I watched season one of Friends in 1 1/2 days….so Netflix asked me if I was still watching multiple times….haha.
Megan D
Happy (late) bday to your sister! I hope her day was fabulous. Speaking of, your lunch looks fabulous. But anything with almond butter is. Next time put some almond butter on your sweet potato. It is good. Trust me.
My sentence for the day is (can I still leave one if it is not Wednesday anymore? Clearly I am getting caught up and leaving comments on your blog like a maniac) I have been watching Friends and I get so distracted by the clothes. All the bagginess, high waistedness (that is a word, Candice ignore me) and OVERALLS. But it is still funny. I am not sure why Netflix would ever need to ask you such a ridiculous question!?
Brooke
I finally gave sweet potatoes with BBQ sauce a try. Why didn’t I know about this combo before?! So yummy!!
Danielle
FRIENDS!!!! I have been watching way too much. I found out I am pregnant right before Christmas, and I have been so tired. Crashing on the couch and watching Friends has SAVED me!
Mary Kate
My bf loves freezing his gummies, too!
