Bad Excuses

I take full ownership to the fact that I can be pretty lazy at times, but here's some other, more interesting reasons.

Before I started the new job here in the big D, I really had it made. I had all the time in the world to work out, clean house, do laundry, run wedding errands, keep this silly thing up to date...all sorts of things that I don't feel like doing after putting in 8 hours and the big city commute. Obviously paychecks take priority over free time but I definitely miss it being so easy to knock out my to-do list, not to mention being with my puppies all day. 

Luckily the recent time change brought longer daylight in the evenings so there's plenty of time to make it home and go for a run before making dinner. Plus eating so soon after working out usually makes me want to eat healthier, so we've had lots of spinach & chicken salads lately with my favorite ginger dressing that I FINALLY found! 

One of these days I'm hoping I figure out the way to shorten the turn around time on my to-do list even though I no longer have all day, but I can't promise that that will happen before my current favorite TV shows go on a little break. I'm a bit of a #copshowjunkie and there are just too many fantastic choices these days. Law & Order: SVU is a long time obsession of mine and I can't get enough of it - even though this season has been a little sad with a few veterans leaving:( But Chicago Fire & Chicago PD are newer favorites for Tyler & I, and the fact that they crossover to each other's show almost every week makes it all that much better. Just a couple of weeks ago even L&O:SVU joined in on that crossover by flying out to Chicago for a joint investigation. Rizzoli & Isles and NCIS have yet to make BFFs with the others, but a girl can hope!
