My Obsessions…who me??
I’ve enjoyed reading these this week and decided to join in the fun!
Bonnie over at Living a Wonderful Life has created this fun way to share all of the things we obsess over. I’m going to share a few of mine.
How can I start this obsession post and not address what my family calls my stalker-like obsession of the most fabulous singer, Josh Groban.
Yes, that’s me on my birthday with him backstage. I taught his bodyguard’s kids.
I’m really not a stalker.
I swear.
(I have to put that in writing so that during the next tour I might get a chance to go backstage again.)
Other obsessions include the following:
My Tassimo. No, not a Keurig. I wish it were a Keurig sometimes, because you can find K-cups E.V.E.R.Y.W.H.E.R.E. Not the T-cups. Those are rare. But, I like what the Tassimo has to offer:
Cappuccinos and Lattes.
MMMMmmmm
Love my Google Reader. I love reading all of the blogs that I stalk. OK, I guess I’ll admit that I stalk these.
This is my newest obsession. My Roo Cup from Kangaroo Express (the closest gas station to me). I fill it with another obsession:
Gosh, it looks like I’m always jacked up on caffeine.
Not all the time.
‘Cause sometimes, I opt for:
As you can see, I’m totally not thinking school.
Today was officially my first day of summer vay-cay!
Woot Woot!
I spent an hour this morning working on what I hope will become my newest obsession:
Have you heard of this? I downloaded this app to help me along the way:
It’s an app to help you build stamina to be able to run a 5K.
Basically, you start with a walk-jog-walk-jog workout until you get to a point where you can run the entire distance.
My teacher buddies and I will be registering for a 5K in October (a few weeks before my 40th birthday…gasp!)
Great motivation, right?
So, what are your obsessions? Link up with Bonnie if you haven’t already!
I am SOOOOOO jealous of you….I couldn't even read the rest of your obsessions! YOU have been in the presence of Josh….In my classroom, I refer to him as my “future husband” One of my students finally told me I should just move to New York, so I start working on getting rid of the word future:-)LaurieChickadee Jubilee
Oh and now I can go back and read the rest of this post:-)
Wow…I admire you for the 5k! I have been thinking more and more about starting to run again (I used to be in the Army and ran every day), I will have to check out this app! Oh and I loooove Josh Groban too – I have quite a few of his songs on my youtube playlists :)Jennifer @ Herding Kats In Kindergarten
Oh my goodness! We must join a caffeine dependant group! LOL! I'm right there with ya sista on the coffee (my sweet hubs got me a mini Keurig for my classroom….joy!!!)…I was a Coke Zero junkie but have tried to stop drinking soda all together.I am so excited for you to do the couch to 5k…I started a “life change” in March (my 40 something birthday)…first I started with what I ate….then started walking….then started walking a few blocks and then running…I lost 18 pounds and people at school were asking what I was doing and 2 even asked if I was doing the couch to 5k. Now I have lost 25 (since last weigh in) and am running 2 miles of my 2.63 (ocd much Tara?) walk:)))) It feels so good! I would like to lose another 25 and then I'll be a happy camper. I love how much better I feel each day:) Good for you!! Good luck with it:)I am so bummed you can't come to the blogger meet up:,( but I totally understand:)4th Grade Frolics
I think it's awesome that you are doing a 5k. I usually join up with the Girls on the Run program at our school and run a 5k with them every year. Yay for summer vacation!! Enjoy every minute of it!LisaLearning Is Something to Treasure
Couch25k will rock your world! I started it back in January-I was able to run a 5k after 7 weeks of the 9 week training program! I have since run in about 5-7 5k races (who's counting?) and have lost 35 pounds! I am 41 and feel better than I have in a looooong time!! 🙂 You can do it, and your life will be changed! :)Shannonhttp://www.irunreadteach.wordpress.com
Hmmm…training for a 5k, huh? Maybe that should be my summer goal… I just have to make myself stick with it!LauraWill Grade For Coffee
Way to go, Tara! I'm going to refer to this comment often to keep me motivated!
I'm married, or we'd have to fight for him 🙂
I have the C25K app, too! LOVE it!! It must be working because the other day I was on the treadmill, just for 20 mins, and I was able to jog for 10 mins. straight without getting pooped out! (it sounds ridiculous, but for me, that's pretty good!) I'm NOT a runner, but with that app, I'm getting better. Best of luck on your 5K in Oct!
I am starting with power walking and going to work up to jogging. I tried to jog and then my knee didn't like it. So I am trying to strengthen my knees first, but so far I am really enjoying getting outside with the puppy. I look forward to running in the near future.April @ The Idea Backpack
I too have a Tassimo!! I love it, especially the mochas. I just wish the t-cups were available more. I just got mine at Christmas. I have had the mochas on backorder for 3 months. (boo) I do love it when I can drink it though. I am your newest follower.AprilWolfelicious
Thanks so much for linking up! Your summertime beverage looks delish! I have (for some reason) JUST discovered Google Reader! I have heard of C25K…awesome! Good for you! BonnieLiving A Wonderful Life
