Do A Double Take

By Courtney 53 Comments

Good morning, friends! I’m coming to you all this morning from my cozy little corner in Starbucks.

IMG_3517

My schedule at the gym has changed up a bit (no more late Tuesdays!) and I have some time to kill this morning before my next scheduled appointment, so I figured I’d just set up shop here instead of driving all the way back home.

I planned ahead on this one, so last night I packed up my old laptop (which is running slower than molasses, btw) and put together a batch of overnight oats in a jar to bring with me…you know, because I love eating peanut butter out of a jar in public and making people do a double take.

IMG_3514

It was the same batch as usual, along with a grande 1 pump vanilla blonde roast coffee.

IMG_3516

So I don’t know what is in the air today, but my allergies are having a flippin’ field day. Anyone else having as much fun with theirs as I am? My nose has had the non-stop tickle for the past hour and I’ve got a nice little headache placed right above the ‘ol eyeballs. Ughh. I think I’m just in a funk this morning.

I’ve been dealing with some stuff lately (hey, aren’t we all?) and some days I feel like it takes its toll on me more than others. So far, today is one of those days.

BUT, the more you dwell on something the worse it becomes, right? So here’s to working on turning this day around! I do have plans for a hair cut (and maybe color) with mom later today, so that’s exciting. Oh yeah…then there’s that tiny little fact that I’m going to be on TV tomorrow morning. I suppose that’s pretty exciting too…

Actually, way more like nerve-racking.

    Hope your day gets better, Courtney!! You reminded me that I didn't have coffee this morning. I changed up my routine since I am on summer break..but it just totally didn't make the schedule this AM. I am sure I will feel it later. Looks like I'll be making a stop at Dunkin!

    Allergies can definitely be tough to deal with. I never had to worry about them before, until I got a job a couple years ago working outside. Now because I'm breathing in all the pollen and stuff I definitely get allergies. Hope you're feeling better soon!

    I don't know what it is, but my allergies have been insane off and on for the past week or so. I'm guessing it's from it being super dry here in Denver right now + the fires up north...who knows. Anyway, you'll do great on tv tomorrow! The imagining people in underwear thing doesn't work for me since it makes me smirk, but maybe it'll work for you :P

I'm down in FL right now so my allergies aren't that bad, but just a few days ago when I was home in OH, they were flaring up like crazy! Ugh, so annoying haha. Hope you have a lovely day pretty girl! Can't wait to see how you get your hair done :)

    I love the humor of overnight oats in a jar. I was once late for class in the morning so I took my breakfast with me and the professor stopped the lecture to ask me if I was eating peanut butter during class. Too funny :] You are gonna rock that TV performance!

    I totally get the "funky" days; I've had more than my fair share lately. They're definitely downers and not welcome. I always like to remind myself when I'm just having one of those days that tomorrow is a brand new day and therefore I'll be able to start anew. Here's to hoping your day turns around!

    Hi Courtney! If your allergies really bother you, there's an herbal supplement you can take called Perimine. My brother gets really bad seasonal allergies but it works very well for him!

    i absolutely love your attitude Courtney! it's great that you can take a crummy day and be determined to turn it around instead of allow it to become crummier! i've been working on having such a mindset because, really, everything whether it be bad or good, will pass. nothing is really FOREVER, ya know? and, just like you said yourself, the more you dwell on something the more its intensity will increase! anyways, that's enough of my lil pep talk, haha. i hope you feel better girl and that's so exciting that you're going to be on TV! :)
