Five on Friday

Happy Friday! Today's five will be short and sweet.

1. I am obsessed with the Rad Thai salad at Sweetgreen. I tried it yesterday and I already know I will be back for another one or two next week. It includes arugula, mesclun, basil, cabbage, carrots, cucumber, spicy sunflower seeds, shrimp, and a spicy cashew dressing. So yummy!

2. This month's Birchbox was a good one! It included a blending sponge with soap for cleaning it. I haven't tried it yet but I am planing to test it out this weekend. While I admit that some boxes aren't that great, for $10 a month it is definitely worth it when you get a really good one.

3. Two weekends ago I ran a 5K (the same one I ran on my birthday last year). All of my gym sessions this year have really paid off because I finished the race 2 minutes faster than last year and set a new personal record. I have never been the fastest runner but it has been really rewarding to see my hard work pay off.

4. Tomorrow my in-laws are coming down from Ohio. The main purpose of their visit is to take Calvin back with them since they will be watching him while P and I are in Europe. They are planning to return him at Thanksgiving. I am so bummed that I will not get to see my little buddy for 6 weeks. That is the longest I have gone without him and it makes me sad. I already warned P that I will most likely shed a few tears on Sunday.

5. That being said....we leave for Europe in 2 weeks! (I'm sure you are sick of the countdown by now). I have a big deliverable due at work two days before we go which is going to consume most of my time between now and then but by the 24th I will be ready to go!


Have a great weekend!!
