Reading Causes Randomness

     My local library has a fabulous e-book program that allows me to borrow books on my Kindle.  This easy access is the reason I read so many books each month.  However, it also means you get the books as they become available. I spent this week speed reading through Game of Thrones book 4 & 5.  Of course they were both ready for me to borrow in the same week! Because of that, this week's post is going to be about random bits and bytes of current happenings.


  • My herb garden is doing really well. I am most excited about the cilantro.  This is my third attempt- the first batch died, the second refused to bloom and the third time is looking very promising. So I should have a salsa recipe post soon.  


  • While we are on the topic of food, I baked the best batch of these Chocolate Chip Cookies ever! They came out absolutely perfect. Mmmm... you should try the recipe. It took less than 30 minutes to make, bake and clean up (cause you know I had to get back to reading!!!)

  • I also finally ordered some new CrossFit shoes. I've had the same pair for almost 2 years, so it was time.  Since Reebok sponsors the CrossFit games, they make 3 types of shoes specific to CrossFit. I got the Nano Speed it violet and black of course! I am excited to started wearing them this week and getting them broken in for the competition I have coming up in October.

  • This week was the Yolo County Fair and my sister and I attend faithfully each year for the tacos.  Even better I got to rock my new hat, which I paid $3.77, the exact amount of cash and change I had in my wallet that that. Amazing and dorky I know.  
     It was a busy and productive week. I got through both books- whew!  The only bad news, is I did twicked my right wrist- boo!  I tried ignoring it, but that didn't make it better? So I got myself a little wrist wrap and will be very gentle with it this week at CrossFit.  Hope everyone has a fabulous week :)
