Um, wait. No… I really don’t. (Unless it’s on the dance floor. 
) But that’s what I’m doing my friends…
In between packing race bags, packing for ‘outta town, and packing up to-go orders at the restaurant, I’m packing up my life in many little boxes and getting ready to move. If you are fortunate enough to not have been through this process, well, I just hope you like your house. Stay there, and don’t ever leave.
OK… maybe a little dramatic. Despite the chaos that comes with moving, I am pretty dang excited. While I’ll still be in a shared housing situation, it is with only one other lady, and there is so much more space! And a back yard. And a garage. And composting. And best of all… a PORCH!
Not my house.. but one of my favorite in Minneapolis!
One of the things I’ve always looked forward to the most about “growing up” and having my own place one day is decorating. That being said, I was super pumped when CSN Stores contacted me again to review one of their products! They seriously have something of everything – from sweet lights to cookware, and furniture to exercise equipment. You guys might remember.. I reviewed a blender they sent me when my MB bit the bullet, and it’s still running strong!
As a kid… if you came home and found me watching TV, it’d either be House Hunters, or Trauma – Life in the ER. (Tellingly, this was a pretty accurate prediction of my future career choices… medicine -> architecture -> medicine.) Despite my move back to the health-oriented fields, I still have that Martha Stewart gene running strong. That being said, it took me FOREVER and a half to chose something from CSN to review. Finally though I settled on two items that will be awesome in my new house! Look for a review soon to come!
So, apologies in advance if the next real post from me is not for about a week. I have something scheduled to go up tomorrow about cross training and injury prevention, and I have a READER question to answer with some pretty awesome input from around the blog/tri/running world!
In the mean time, I’m taking a cue from my buddy J.B. and heading out on a CAMPING TRIP with my hombre. I haven’t been camping since the Boundary Waters trips I took as a kid with the fam, so I’m really excited about this! Just a short trip though, and then back to the grind. Hope you all have a lovely weekend!

A PORCH! My parents have the greatest porch. When I visit, my mom and I drink coffee on the porch swing every morning. It’s PERFECT. Enjoy! Moving can be stressful, but sometimes transitions are fun!

Aiee! Good luck with the move. I HATE moving – so stressful! – but if you’re thrilled about your new sitch, it makes it worth it. Where are you going camping? Don’t get eaten by a moose. Or a mosquito.
