i'd rather be making cookie dough // a random post.

i've had a stick of butter out on my counter acclimating to room temp since sunday while i have an internal battle over whether or not i should make a batch of cookies.  actually let's be honest, it's really not the cookies i'm after but the dough.  cookie dough is my kryptonite.  along with ice cream & brownies & buttery bread & well, about a million other things (don't even get me started on all things peanut butter).  so instead of whipping up cookies, i decided to play with photos & write this blog post.  but what i'm thinking will happen is i will write this blog post & then make the dough.  let's face it, it's inevitable.

the last few days have been good to us.  sunny & spring-like, full of lots of good food & family time.  i ran seven miles on sunday & ate my weight in ice cream... it all evens out.  when the days start getting longer & the sun starts shining a little brighter, it always hits me how much i've missed this.  it's amazing what a little sunshine does for the soul.  this is definitely one of my top four favorite times of year (rivaling fall & summer & the holidays).  i've been getting the boys outside a whole lot more lately & it's been taking slightly fewer layers to do so.  wellll, enough about the weather.

i think i need to take more selfies.  does anyone say that?  i've been shooting a whole lotta pictures of the boys & things i like & what-ever-else-have-you but i haven't been getting in front of the camera much myself.  i used to be waaaay better at getting pictures of me with the boys when i just used my iphone all the time.  a selfie is a lot harder to grab with a dslr!  maybe tomorrow is the day i get out a tripod & a remote & make this happen.  we'll see.

and that's that.  that batch of dough isn't gonna make itself so i better wrap this little diddy up if i wanna get to bed at a reasonable hour.

ps: one of these days i might blog about goals i have for myself... goals with this half marathon, clean eating & getting more sleep to name just a few.  actually, i think a post about my training is up next because i'm suddenly feeling a big wave of motivation towards this race due to a few really good runs recently, whereas before i was totally dreading each run.  i have such a love/hate relationship with running, it's so weird!  sometimes i just want to give it up but we've lasted this long together so i keep on heading out that door each day.  then when it's over i feel amazing & unbeatable & can't wait to do it again.  until the next day when i hate it again & don't wanna go.  am i the only one?

anywho, those cookies.  er, i mean that dough.  peace out!
