Hello there! And happy Monday!
I’m feelin’ particularly good today being as how it was a restful weekend and there are no pressing deadlines in my near future.
Stress can often be healthy. But no stress is way more fun.
And you know what else is super fun?
Freakin’ dinosaurs.
Part of my weekend was spent at the Field Museum. Staring at skeletons of cool things and checking out an exhibit called “Extreme! Mammals”.
Sue the dino is still my favorite. Followed closely by the man-eating Tsavo lions.
Because I love big animals. Like lions and tigers and bears.
Or cheetahs.
The pants I wore literally all day yesterday. Totally extreme.
Don’t be jealous of my super awesome new pj pants. You can’t say I’m not sexy.
And I’m still not of a maturity level past the age of 12.
This is not a surprise to anyone. Obviously.
Lucky me, people tend to put up with it.
Anyway… after a restful weekend (with the exception of those 8 miles I ran on Saturday), all I have left between me and the ZOOMA half marathon is a work week. A work week of keeping things in check and under control.
Or at least pretending to. I’m a girl without a deadline. Which is like a 12-year-old without a curfew.
Watch out.
I’m so extreme.

That race will be here before you know it. Good thing you have cheetah pants. I bet they’ll make you faster.
Those pants are AWESOME!!! I’m glad you had a relaxing weekend! I did the same with the guys after my run. It was so nice to catch on rest. Unfortunately, today started with only 4 hours of sleep. A foreshadowing of the week to come…I need a nap!
I’ve been meaning to visit the Field Museum for the past year. I think what stops me everytime is the fact that I’d have to go on a weekend, when I assume it will be swamped. Was that your experience? It doesn’t look that crowded!
It wasn’t so bad! I think I expected worse… but it seems that maybe the summer weekends are the crazy ones. The exhibit was a little packed, but nothing overwhelming…

The Field Museum is one of my favorite stops in Chicago. I love those pants, and I regularly wear pj pants all day long on weekends. Which means, yes, that I don’t leave my house, but let’s ignore that for now.
I LOVE your PJs! What does that say about me?! Glad you had a relaxing weekend – those are the best!
Deadline free really is the best feeling. Enjoy it!
I love those pants. I’d wear them all day too, and I can’t promise I wouldn’t wear them out in public. That’s probably why I’m still single.
Did you actually purchase those pants in the gift shop? You are my hero. I love the Field- I need to figure out when those free days are this year!
haha, seeing dinosaurs and museums like that makes me think of Ross from Friends, haha. And I love stuff like that too! And the PJ pants. perfect.
I hope you bring those sexy PJ’s to the Zooma party house. I have a thing for dinos.
I’ve had my fair share of museums lately…dinosaurs and all. I’m not the biggest fan – I have to admit – but my child doesn’t really care about my opinion. Unfortunately.
Love those pants!
Glad stress is MIA for ya this week, Amy
And I love me some PJ pants – so no making fun here!
Haha! A woman without a deadline…love it. I’m in the same boat right now…no (near) deadlines and I feel so freeee! Love the PJs, sometimes we all need to embrace our inner child.
