pears

I know – not very inspirational regarding the post title.  Kinda matches my mood lately.  Definitely lacking in creativity these days.  But my pears did catch my attention today and so I snapped a few of them.  Love this particular color of green and seeing them lined up in the window seal.

I finished the last book of the Hunger Games trilogy.  As a whole, I really liked the series.  Carefully considering what I’m going to read next because my house suffered last week having my nose stuck in three books the whole time.  But I am enjoying getting myself lost in books once again.  Especially since many of my girlfriends are also reading a lot and we’re all discussing books – The Hunger Games currently.  I see a book club forming all on its own….

I also started my second week of 5K training.  Yesterday, was tough.  I haven’t slept well the last 2 nights – the kids keep wandering into our room at all hours for some reason or another.  So considering it was Monday, there was no school and I was just plain tired, I had a very hard time hopping on that treadmill.  But I did it.  And it hurt a little bit but was glad that I didn’t find an excuse not to follow through.  I also have a few people to be accountable to now that are also in training with me and that helps a ton.  Left on my own, I usually sabotage whatever goal I’ve set.

Hope all is well with you and yours.  Til tomorrow…..

    I really like these pairs – the lighting is perfect and there’s a simple elegance about them.

    Gorgeous photos! And good for you for getting on the treadmill. I think the hardest part is just getting on there in the first place.

      I think you’re definitely right about that. Gotta psych myself up to do it again today. Thanks so much, Caroline!

    I think it is great you are working through your slump, funk, whatever it may be. I like the form of the pears. The lighting is nice, too.

      Kim, thanks! I think it’s a wintertime thing mostly. I just want to stay inside in my pjs where it’s warm. So not a fan of winter.

        LOL. I just realized that I wrote “pottery” instead of “pretty.” Oh man. Perhaps I shouldn’t write comment from my phone before 7am. :P

          Pa ha ha…. I guess that’s how I read it as well because I didn’t think anything about it. Guess that’s what I get for replying to comments before a full cup of coffee. :)

    Love the perspective on these. Beautiful shots. Things tend to suffer around here when I am reading, too. Let me know what books you decide to read next!
