Life Happenings…

When I was very little, maybe 5, I was barefoot and stepped on a small nail or something that went through my foot and I’ve never been the same! You will never catch me barefoot.

Good luck with the plants! My daughter wanted a rose bush so we bought a knockout one and put it in a pot on our patio. I kept finding the root ball exposed a bit and told my 5yo to leave the plant alone so it would stay healthy. Then one day I looked out our bathroom window, which faces the patio, in time to see our lab knocking dirt out. A day later he just pulled the whole thing out and left it on the patio ha! I’m not meant to have plants I guess.

I am a huge fan of Ultraboosts for a lot of things but running isn’t one of them. I think they lack the support I want (which is why I love Hokas) but Ultraboosts are awesome for workouts, walking, and running around town.

I had the exact same experience with my Ultraboosts (even while walking in them). Thankfully, I received them as part of a giveaway, so I didn’t spend the money to purchase them, but it’s disappointing – I had such high hopes!

I’ve always loved Michael J Fox, so I need to watch that documentary.
Bummer about your shoes! It is strange that they put a hard plastic thing right at the top. I have returned a few pairs of running shoes over the years for various reasons. If my feet aren’t happy in them, then they go back.
Speed days used to always be on Wednesdays. But now that I am at the gym on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I like to do speed then. I find specific workouts are more fun on the treadmill with the Peloton app.
We aren’t Sam’s club members, so I wonder if Costco has pizza dough you can buy? I’ll have to ask.
Have a great Wednesday Janae

Hi Janae! I planted some grapes and various berries years ago and now they have taken over the garden despite how much I cut them back every year. I found out later blackberries are invasive species here so I guess that’s why I can keep them alive despite my best efforts.
Sorry about the shoes that’s a bummer!
Have a good recovery month!

I can only keep plants alive with a LOT of help from my mom and dad (both grew up on a farm). I know the basics, but somehow lack the ability to put it all together! 2 yrs ago I planted a full garden, and it ALL died except a few beet plants. My dad took the time to help me rip it all out & replant it, and the second time around went much better. I didn’t even try last year, but am trying again this year. GOOD LUCK to both of us on this growing plants thing! If even just half of my garden grows, I will be happy! My kids came along to the garden center too, and we ended up with a few extra items as well – hey, if they SAY they’ll eat the veggie seeds they found, we’ll try it. :)
I am barefoot as much as possible all summer long EXCEPT for running. I do like the minimalist shoes, but my idea of minimalist is more like Saucony Kinvaras – nothing too crazy. I am impressed by anyone who can do more than that!
That pretzel picture is making me want one – YUM!

Oh my stars, are we both developing our Green Thumbs at the same time?! I am NOTORIOUS for allowing plants to kick the bucket. Like, I’ve killed cacti — I’m less nourishing than the desert. BuuuuuuuUUUUUT, I’ve recently decided to turn my back porch into a whole new space (it’s like decorating a new room in your home!). It’s awesome, and I love it, and it’s a whole new space I look forward to chilling in at my home. I even got Windy (my floofs) an outdoor bed so she can hang out with me.
