run now, pizza later

1. um can we talk about how its the middle of december and basically beach weather?  SO BIZARRE.  tell me what you're doing.  i went on a “long run” yesterday and frankie and i walked around central park and it was glorious. 
2. i have been trying to maximize my christmas activities though.  i went to the union square holiday market with Britt on tuesday and it was SO CUTE.  i couldn't handle it. adorrrrable.
3. i'm signing up for another race.  this one's a 5 miler in january in central park.  but at this rate i'm wondering if it'll be running in snow or blistering heat.  i just can't tell anymore.  the goal for this race is to make it the full five miles without stopping, so i'm starting the training now.
4. i'm back on my la croix binge.  i have to say the coconut one is totally my fave.  
5. did you check out my foodie holiday gift guide?  I have at least one more guide coming your way.  who do you have to buy for? who do you need ideas for?  tell me! tell me! (but in case you know anyone who loves the ocean as much as i do – i love this buzzfeed one.)
6. in january i'm committing to making all our dinners/lunches throughout the week.  i'm toying with the idea of starting another whole30, but idk.  we'll see.  but regardless, these crockpot dump meals seem like they'd be super helpful.  
7. TV.  oh geeze.  | Scream Queens | i didn't see that coming.  i thought hester was involved.  but i also was really convinced chanel #5 was involved too.  gah!  they got me.  they definitely got me.  and i'm sort of happy that happened to pete.  yup.  | minority report | this is a new one for us. i really like it so far though!  i'm into the concept – which frankie thinks is weird because its normally more his thing.  we haven't watched last weeks quanitco yet, but we're doing that tonight and then tomorrow we'll watch the winter finale! so exciting!
8. i LOVE these cooking new years resolutions. i just love them.
9. i also love these.  

It seems like EVERYONE does these… amirite?

so… I decided to jump on the bandwagon.  if you read along and have friends who are comfortable in the kitchen these are my must-have and totally-crushing-on (and secretly hope I receive for Christmas too!) gift guides for the inner foodie.  i hope it helps in your search for the perfect gift!

1. um. lifetime movie network is CONSTANTLY playing christmas rom coms and i'm in heaven.  i was sort of mad because the netflix array is pretty subpar this year I feel.  My tree's been up since the night before thanksgiving.  SO WONDERFUL.  also, my mistletoe candle has been burning for the past two days and it makes me SO HAPPY.
2. truth: i just asked frankie if he'd kill me if i wanted to just stay in this whole night and watch these christmas movies…. he didn't EXACTLY say no.  
3. we ran another 10K yesterday!  i came in 7 seconds faster than my last time. soooOOOoo exciting.  side note: the last two races we've gone to have had the BEST bagels at the end.  so good.
4. i LOVE hearing from you guys when you make my recipes.  a friend of mine from college texted me this week to tell me she and her boyfriend LOVE my buffalo bacon burgers.  i don't blame them ;)
5. i love this.  and its a nice guide to have around christmas dinner time!
6. can i tell you how excited i am to see sisters with Amy & Tina?  it looks HILARIOUS and it has morgan from the Mindy Project!  such a good cast.
7. TV.  sooo i think we're caught up on everything.  |quantico | STILL LOVING IT. i didn't expect alex to go that route.  i hate liam (but i'm glad he's finally on the right side).  i love ryan.  | scandal | actually, now that i'm thinking about it we might not have seen this week's episode.  I'M SO GLAD THOUGH THAT THE OLITZ REIGN IS OVER…. for now until they irritate me again and bring them back together.  also i really want liv and mellie to be friends.  REALLY BADLY.
8. i'm desperate for an ugly christmas sweater… i really am.  i don't know why.  
9. stop it.  this is great.
