Missing outdoor running!

I never thought that it would be possible that I would miss running outdoors...but it turns out to be true. However there is no way I am going to run in the winter, let alone in the 40 below weather we are having today. I got my workout in today but it was rough going, I am sore from painting the last two days and I felt sluggish. I completed my 20 minute run and my 10 minutes of walking but only logged 1.8 miles today. Oh well...Wednesday will be better hopefully. In other news I have two coats of paint in my room and it is looking bright and cheery! Also my sister emailed me last night, she needs some motivation as well and we are looking at doing another race together early this summer! I hope everyone is staying warm...I just found out my kids are off school tomorrow too, so that makes a four day weekend for them. I however have to head out into the cold tomorrow and return to work.

First Star I See Tonight by Susan Elizabeth Phillips

First Star I See Tonight is a satisfying addition to the Chicago Stars series. Cooper Graham has just retired as the quarterback when he meets private investigator Piper. Their relationship starts off with a mutual dislike that quickly turns into one full of sparks. Watching Cooper and Piper navigate the waters is fascinating and entertaining. In the end Cooper lays it all on the line in order to win his biggest game ever...a happily ever after. I highly recommend both the series and the book. Thanks to Edelweiss for the Advanced Reader's Copy! Also, thanks to LibraryReads for chosing my review for their August list! Click here to see what else librarians recommend for August. Rated 5/5 on Goodreads...

Chicken Quest

I have been wanting chickens for years and years, but I am a city girl and chickens didn't seem like something I could have. But I was wrong! In November 2018 our city council passed a chicken ordinance and suddenly my chicken dreams seemed like they could come true! I spent last winter reading everything I could find about chickens and researching everything having to do having chickens in the city, and what types of coops would be best. Our local pet store orders chicks from a local hatchery, and I decided to get chicks from the May shipment. I read about each of the types of chicks in that shipment and decided to get an assortment. After confirming with the neighbors that they wouldn't object to chickens, I ordered five chicks (the maximum amount allowed by our city accordance). I decided to order two Dominiques, one Colombian Wyandotte, one Calico Princess and one Midnight Majesty Maran. Step one of the chicken quest was underway, so I started to fill out...

Favorite Author Alert - Julia Quinn

I have a handful of favorite authors, well really more like two giant handfuls. I have a lot of favorite authors! Anyhow, one of my many favorites has to include Julia Quinn. It won’t be a surprise to some of you that historical romance novels are some of my favorite. I love anything that includes a Lord or a Duke or a Countess. Julia Quinn’s novels have all of that and more. Start with the Bridgerton series, the first one is The Duke and I . Quinn’s latest novel is called Because of Miss Bridgerton . It sucked me in on the first page and didn’t let me go until I had finished it on my lunch break at work. My Review: Julia Quinn does it again. I loved her Bridgerton series and the idea that it continues on in this new series featuring the Rokesby brothers was beyond exciting to me. The two families are dear friends and everyone has always expected that Billie would marry one of the brothers, probably Andrew or Edw...
