We’ve got a lovely little Saturday on our hands here in CT.
Wait. Lovely, Saturday.. and SNOW do not go together. As a teacher, I whole-heartingly support snow storms… as long as they occur during the week. I have absolutely NO problem sleeping in an extra 90 minutes when we have delay. I also have NO problem sleeping as late as my little heart desires and then lounging around in my PJs all day when we have a snow day.
But snow on Saturdays does absolutely nothing for me. I have things to do on Saturday… and I am not a huge fan of traveling in the snow unless absolutely necessary. Road conditions aren’t too great right now.. so it looks like Justin, Colby, and I are going to be hanging out at the condo for a majority of the day.
If the snow keeps up well in to the afternoon as predicted, I will probably do the 1,000 rep workout in the extra bedroom while Justin plays in Colby. With no equipment needed, it is totally something I can accomplish at home!
Or maybe I will break out my new TRX system and play with it! 
A couple of weeks ago… I should off my mad braiding skills. Some of you requested a video.. so I tried my best to shoot a decent one.
After many attempts, this is the best one that I got. Apologies in advance for my head being cut off in some of them. Even more apologies for the random nasty sniffle in the middle. It’s cold season, ya’ll!!
I am sure that was the most useless video you’ve ever watched. I apologize for wasting 6:33 of your time. (Or probably less then that because you likely didn’t watch the whole thing.. but I am still sorry).

Love the braid! I have to wear my really long hair up every day for work so I’ve spent plenty of time trying out braids and such – this being one of them. I’ve found that my hair always goes up better then its wet – all the fly-aways get tucked in!
No snow here…at least not down in Denver. The mountains are finally getting powder but it looks to be a great day for my impromptu race in Denver – 40 and sunny!

I have tried to do it with wet hair but my hair tangles SO easily that it ends up looking pretty crappy…I try to brush it after every move…but it is time consuming and you can still see tangles and knots. I wish it worked better because like you said it would surely hold down all those fly always!

Yeah…that makes sense. My hair has always been really good with tangles. I can easily shower, finger comb and go if I’m okay with a few waves once its dried.
Either way, its a cute braid and after reading this I totally rocked it for my race today!

I wish my attempts came out even like 10% as good as that! haha I might just have to admit I’m not destined to do the braid thing. I can do it on other people’s heads just not my own so if I ever do have a daughter at least she won’t be traumatized by a lack of braids in her life.

I don’t even know if I could do it on someone else’s head. I’ve never tried! Hoping I can and hoping that if I have a girl inr the future she has hair that braids better than mine!!!
Nope, no snow here
It’s currently 70. Ridiculous. After the half I’m running tomorrow we are actually going to the beach..in january! Florida FTW!
I can’t braid to save my life. Well, I can do a normal braid, but any kind of french braid isn’t happening! My hair is pretty choppy from being thinned out – there are a bazillion layers so a braid really isn’t my best look.
I’m currently sitting on my couch with my laptop & chris’ laptop looking at our wedding pictures/engagement video & all sorts of other random pictures we’ve accumulated over the last 7yrs. Our anniv is 2/7, and I’m going to make him a little photobook of our fishing pictures.

Aww I love the photo book idea! I bet it will be awesome!!!
Totally jealous of the Florida weather you are having…although I’d probably hate teaching in Florida knowing there would never be a chance for a day off in the winter!!!
Did I miss somewhere that you have a half tomorrow?! You are crazy with all these races!!! I am kind of getting the racing bug back though…but likely won’t be running anything until spring and nothing Moore than a 10k.. Running outdoors in frigid temps just doesn’t tickle my fancy!!!
Good luck tomorrow!
I love the video! I’m going to give this a try. I have recently switched to washing my hair every other day. (I had been washing it daily, but my stylist told me that’s a no-no.) The braid + pony would be a great way to wear my hair on the unwashed days!*

Currently getting pounded by snow here on the CT shoreline. I was pretty bummed this morning too. As a fellow teacher, I agree that snow during the week is ok, but it really puts a cramp in my Saturday plans! I was actually in Cheshire last night for a coaching class and was supposed to drive back this morning, but there was no way that was happening. Hoping I can convince the husband to take a hike with our pup!
Snow here too and ice! It took Mike forever to get the car scraped off, the worst when there is ice underneath the snow!
Love the side braid, Im not sure I could pull it off, I am not good at braiding : p
Happy Saturday! <3
