Thursday Thoughts v.19


It's Thursday, friends! I have no idea how quickly it has become Thursday, but I'm not complaining since I get to fly home tomorrow night! You know the deal: write down a few things you're thinking today and then link up so that others can read what's on your mind! Right click and save the photo above, or use your own!

[one]
I ate something last night that didn't agree with me, and I was up all night with stomach pain. From now on, I'm never eating food again. (Okay, that was dramatic, but you get the gist!)

[two]
Apparently Washington (State) right now has an outbreak of whooping cough ("The Great Whooping Cough Outbreak of 2012") and my mom keeps harassing me and my brother to get a Tdap booster shot. It's kind of cute, really, because I keep getting text messages or picture tweets like this:


[three]
Y'all remember sweet little Lucy Goosey (usually called Princess Pants but Trent told me that was an unacceptable name for a dog)? She's getting so big! I insist you stop growing now.


[four]
If you missed it in the intro, I get to fly to Washington to visit my fam for two weeks tomorrow! Not that I'm super excited or anything, but considering I only get to fly home twice a year, this is my favorite time ever. Let's just hope I don't get whooping cough without the booster... ;)

[five]
My dissertation prospectus document was reviewed by my professor and his comments were minimal (which never happens). I get to start some pilot data later this month and hopefully will be ABD (all but dissertation) this summer. Go team go!

[six]
My mom, dad, brother, and I (with our three favorite cheerleaders Sandra, Kayden, and Ava) are running/walking the Color Run 5K in Seattle (along with ShaunaAmanda/her fam, and a ton of other people). I'm totally psyched, which is weird because it's just another run. Still, awesome experience as a family for the win!

Happy Thursday friends! What are you thinking today? Got any fun plans for the weekend? Link up and tell us!

Shauna said...

You're doing the Color Run on this Sunday??? I can't wait!!!!!

Omg that puppy is so freaking cute!

Abbey S said...

I'm so jealous! We wanted to do the color run, but since I'm in a wedding the weekend before, I was scared to commit to the timing! But it looks sooo fun. Also, yay family! I hope you have the best visit. :)

Katie said...

So happy you're going to your family! And I want to see lots and lots of Color Run photos. Lots.

Elisabeth said...

Holly said...

So jealous you're doing the Color Run! Ours sold out like immediately in both locations I could have done it in. Maybe next year :)

Have fun in WA!

Amber in June said...

I'm hoping we can meet up before and/or after The Color Run for group shots. :)

Amber in June said...

Oh, and I totally know what you mean about eating things that disagree with your stomach. Being lactose intolerant sucks, and when I accidentally eat something with dairy in it my digestive system lets me know. Feel better!

You're baby is so cute! They do grow up sooo fast..take tons of pictures. I don't feel I took as many of my little hercules when he was small. :)

The Management said...

That message from your mom is the greatest!

I only fly home twice a year too so I feel your excitement! Hope you have a blast!

Meredith said...

I think you have every right to be excited--the Color Run is NOT just another run from what I've heard!! Sounds like an awesome fun day!

Safe travels!

exlibrisheather said...

Oh my goodness my mother does the same thing to me too! Usually though it's just about the weather. Also, congrats on finishing the prospectus. That's so exciting!

Jaz said...

That's pretty cool that y'all are all doing a 5k together. But whooping cough? What is this? 1820?

Molly @ Blonde Out Loud said...

Have a glorious time back home!!!

Lauren said...

Going home is the best... and I love puppies - I wish they never grew up. I was just thinking about puppies today too!

The Color run looks soooo fun! I wanted to do it this year, but figured I better wait until the next go around. Maybe it will happen in OKC one day, until then I'm going to plan to do it in Dallas - or maybe back home in DC, or somewhere else fun.

Rachel said...

I felt the same way about the week going so fast! Have a great time at home. The color run sounds amazing!

Alexis @ Christian WifeStyle said...

That's awesome that you are doing the color run!

Not so cool that Washington is having an outbreak, but your mom's text was pretty cute! Love concerned mothers. :)

Lin said...

Haha, I love how dramatic you are about 'never eating again'...I'm totally the same way. That is of course until I no longer feel pain & I'm scarfing down all the crap I swore off of.

Your mom is so darn cute! But seriously, take care of yourself because I've heard it's absolutely awful to come down with that cough.

Yay for visiting family soon! So excited for you.
