Midweek Confessions

+ I woke up this morning with a sore throat. Not that there is ever a good time to get sick but this week is really not a good time.

+ You can tell that the time change is quickly approaching. The daylight hours are definitely becoming shorter. Because it is so dark in the mornings, we have all been sleeping in till 7:30 which makes the morning a little too rushed.

+ I am SO glad to put September behind us! It was a rough month for the Harrigan's. One of the cars was in the shop the majority of the month footing a $1600 repair bill. Between the added cost and being a one car couple, it was a stressful month. On top of that we had a bunch of other unexpected expenses including broken phones, weed wackers and a hefty school bill. Hello, October you are a welcome sight :)

+ While I have still been running, I am becoming increasingly aware of how quickly December is approaching. I am not feeling so prepared for the Color Run.

+ I have been OBSESSED with Iced Cinnamon Coffee from Dunkin. Like hitting up the drive-thru everyday obsessed. Sadly, I am also realizing how quickly this adds up and need to calm it down.

+ We had friend's over on Sunday and they brought their 5 month old doxie pup. This is the result of their play date:


+ Speaking of Lily, the food and tummy issues continue. I am feeling very frustrated with the whole situation. The vet has found nothing wrong with her yet she has unexplained stomach issues and is super picky. We have eliminated duck from her food, tried a medication, switched to a simple diet with limited ingredients...nothing works! Today, I made another trip to my favorite store, Dog Lovers, and the employees were super helpful and understanding. I am keeping her on her regular food she loves and adding a pro biotic...fingers crossed that this is a solution!
+ This morning, it was pouring right around the time I needed to leave for work.  I didn't pull the car into the garage last night for some reason. I run a group at 9:00 am and knowing that I had a room full of people waiting on me, my sweet husband ran out in the rain and pulled my car into the garage so I wouldn't show up drenched. Little things like this make me remember how blessed I am.

October Instagram Challenge

Tim and I both got new phones. The new iPhone 5 to be exact. I previously had the 3GS so for me this was a HUGE upgrade. I am constantly amazed by the clarity of the pictures compared to my old phone. Enter my current obsession with Instagram.

A couple of friends posted the October photo a day challenge and I am going to give it a go. Here are the specifics:
