What a weekend. It was cold (we saw snow flurries on Saturday!) and semi eventful. Why? Well, Saturday our oven broke. In the middle of cooking dinner (baking pizza dough) for B’s family. So that changed up some of our Sunday plans. But I’m getting ahead of myself. Here’s a little look at the past few days:
Thursday morning, I got in a semi-short run (3.11 miles) outdoors. It was chillier than it has been but it wasn’t too cold for me to get outside. B and I both had to be at work early, so I knew I only had 30 minutes or so to get in a workout after feeding LM.
Thursday night, B and I went out on a date night! We saw A Star is Born and then had dinner. Dinner didn’t start until 10 p.m., so needless to say, Friday I was tired! But look at this beer – it came with a toasted marshmallow!
Friday night was not as I intended. We ended up having to take LM into the dr because of a bad cough that was giving her a hard time breathing. She’s okay, but it’s so hard seeing babies sick – she hasn’t been herself and clearly is hurting 😦
Saturday was when the said oven incident occurred. BC was playing Clemson, so B invited his brother (who went to BC also) and the rest of his siblings and a few friends over to watch the game. We had planned on cooking pizza for everyone when the oven door just fell off. And when B tried to put it back together, we discovered that pieces had disintegrated!
We decided to order in instead, and still got to watch the game. FW hung out with his cousins and stayed up until half time.
The game didn’t quite end as I would’ve liked but it is always fun hosting people in our house. Our apartment was always too small to have to many people over.
Sunday, after the oven incident and some other things that were happening, I just had to get in a run. I knew it would make me feel at least a littke better. So while B and FW were at Home Depot, LM went down for a nap and I got in few easy treadmill miles.
Then, when FW was napping later I couldn’t help myself and got in a few more miles. I mean, look at the weather – it was so nice out! And running really does keep me sane.
We also were able to get on a little walk. It was chilly, but felt good to get out as a family. And it meant we had a relatively active weekend!
After that, it was time for dinner with B’s family. We celebrated B’s dad’s birthday and FW got to hang out with his cousins again.
3 runs, 1 walk and a broken oven … that about sums up the past few days!
Questions for you:
- Has a major appliance you use broken down? What did you do?
- What temps make you decide to run inside?
- Have you seen A Star Is Born? What did you think?
My oven didn’t break, but I had a Pyrex dish to shatter inside one (with all of the other dishes inside heating up too) on Christmas Day. We picked glass from the top all the food before serving LOL. On that same day, we had a small microwave fire and a toilet to overflow. You just gotta love holidays! Your trees are so lovely! I wouldn’t be able to pass up that run either. Thanks for linking!
Running is always the answer, isn’t it? We’ve had to replace just about all our kitchen appliances except for the oven. I know it’s coming! Hope everyone and everything is feeling better soon!
Our fridge broke down once but thankfully not when we were hosting anything! At least you guys got to order in and still continue with your plans. Love that you managed a date night too, those are few and far between for us these days!
