Happy Sunday friends!
I didnāt really get a chance to spend more than 5 minutes at the computer this weekend, so no fancy intros for todayās post. Itās my last day at Blend so Iāll be savouring those last moments before shedding some tears and flying back home. Hope you guys are having an awesome day, and make sure to check out these great links!

Lindsey (cottercrunch) always has the best posts!!
Iām digging the 10 lame fitness rules. So very true. I also loved Lindsayās post on being an adrenaline junkie. So very on point. It took me a long time to learn how to balance my type A nature with a more balanced side and to be able to relax guilt free, but man itās worth it every time.
Missing you already!
Canāt wait to hear all about Blend!
Yesterday: Went to Pittsburgh Arts Fest with my dad, had Mexican dinner with my dad, long run (blah, boring)
Today: Went hiking with Angela and Erin, went to Whole Foods, watching Orange is the New Black
Iām excited to hear about blend! Lots of pictures please!
On the topic of those lame fitness rules, I keep hearing about this new 5:2 diet. You eat whatever you want 5 days a week and the other 2 days you eat just 500 calories. I wish I was making this up

Awesome list of links Amanda:) THANK YOU FOR INCLUDING ME!!!:) Hope youāre enjoying blend and have a great week!
Blend sounds like so much fun. I would love to go one of these years and meet everyone Iāve worked with/made friends with!
It took me a few years to work up the nerve to go, but it really is amazing to be able to meet people in person!
Donāt shed those tears! Remember itās never goodbye but just see you later. Just start counting down until HLS already. (:
Blends sounds like a great retreat! Taking a break and just getting to know one another! What a great idea! Thanks for hosting and enjoy your break!
As always, love your links! The 10 Forgotten Truths was my favorite this week. Yesterday I went to the Farmerās Market with my mom, took a nap, and showed some out-of-town friends around Dallas! Today I am going to go for a run, see a client, and watch the NBA Finals!
Yesterday: made a spreadsheet for $60, tanned, and made the best brownie fudgey UGH delicious cookies ever.
Today: tanning, reflecting, relaxing.
I hope you had a GREAT time at Blend! Safe travels home so you can make those sweet tater fries
