1. They came to "survey" our stuff this week. You know, so the MOVERS can come PACK UP all of our belongings NEXT WEEK. I'm having trouble containing myself at this point.
2. I seriously underestimated how difficult it would be to wrap up my business at school, pack up our entire life, take care of to-do's, and workout everyday. Oh, and blog. But I'll take crazy over bored any day. I think. Ask me again next week.
3. Workouts were something I'm trying to prioritize more than normal simply because I'm thinking I might go through withdrawals when I have to leave my gym in 2 weeks.
Saturday- 90 minute Pilates class
Monday- Body Blast
Tuesday- Pilates, some intense snow-shoveling, and I put my body onto the treadmill for a few miles
Thursday- An interval run and Abs/Assets class
Saturday-If we're not too busy, I'll try to get to the gym for abs and the elliptical...or maybe the dreadmill again. Same on Sunday.
When I am stressed out, I eat sugar and I exercise. It's the only way I can funnel the frustrated anxiousness.
4. I got some steals at Target the other day. This sweater was $8. (I knew they'd go down in price, Katie!) Also, I got 2 dresses, including a Prabal Gurung one for $12, which was just right price to make it fall into my cart.

5. And, if you were on the Twitter the other day, I apologize. I probably kept spamming you with my stupid retweets about the stupid, dumb, no-good Alaska Club.
Essentially, Scott joined The Alaska Club (a network of over-priced gyms across this fair state) back in November. There's one near our house and, while he has free gym access on base, the base is 40 minutes away. This way, he could come home, eat dinner, go work out, not feel stressed, etc. (He tried my gym but they're more class-driven and didn't have the kind of weight-room set-up he wanted.)
Anyway, he signed up for the month-to-month plan so he could cancel when we moved. We wouldn't be here long enough to sign up for a year. He took his orders in, when he got them, last week. They told him they needed a 60 day notice to cancel a membership. He'd be charged for 60 days. May and June. That's $180 for months we won't be in Alaska. A lesson from Horrible Business 101, right? Yeah.
After complaining and sending the paperwork via email to some manager, they told him they'd *generously* just charge him for an extra 30 days. They're worthless.
If you're bored at work or at home on this Friday, send them a comment card on my behalf. They'd like that, I'm sure. I mean, who doesn't accept military orders? My school district didn't even ask for proof when I backed out of my contractual position. Who does The Alaska Club think they are???
Anyway, happy weekend! I think it's supposed to be above freezing here for the first time in a week. Hallelujah.
Sharing at High 5 for Friday
