Music:
7 Years by Cedar Avenue - This is actually a local band! This song was featured on the Cities 97 Sampler, which is a local acoustic album that is put out each year. I love this song so much, I bought the album (which is great).
Without You by Keith Urban - I am not usually a huge country fan, but I really like Keith Urban - especially his ballads.
Books:
Slow reading month... Studying for the CFA and the Series 7 has consumed my life so I have a hard time finding time to read for pleasure! I'll make up for it this summer when I am done with these dang exams!
The Invisible Bridge by Julie Orringer - I really, really liked this book. It's definitely one of the better books that I've read in the last 6 months. It tells the story of 3 Jewish brothers living in Paris, Budapest, and Italy during WWII. It's a harrowing story and some parts are very difficult to read, but I really enjoyed it. Plus, part of the book is set in Paris. :)
You Don't Love This Man by Dan DeWeese - You can read my review here.
Miles:
Last month when I did this, I set a goal of 50 miles for March. I ended up running 60! Woo hoo - 20% more than planned! My mileage goals for the next couple of months are going to be modest because with the CFA exam, I just don't have as much time to spend running. I want to keep running 3-4 days/week, but most of those runs will be short 3-4 milers so my mileage will remain pretty low until this test is behind me.
Looks:
Hmmm.... I really did not have a social life this month, so I don't have any fabulous outfits to share with you... But I did get this fun new top at Ann Taylor Loft a couple of weekends ago!
I am always on the look out for cute tops! I really like that one!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the mileage this past month! That is great!
I love Keith Urban - and that top! Unfortunately ruffles look ridiculous on me.
ReplyDeleteHaha. Wow, those guys from Cedar Ave are high school friends of mine! Small world. I love that top too btw!
ReplyDeleteLove the white top!
ReplyDeleteThat is a really cute top!! And, congrats on getting in more miles than planned - that's an accomplishment!
ReplyDeleteOmg I love that top! The ruffles make it so much more than just another white blouse!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the mileage in March - we were around the same mileage. I was looking back over my mileage in 2010 and I still can't believe the over 100 mile months we put in. 60ish miles seemed like A LOT to me in March!
I like that top. I'm always scared to try on stuff like that because I think my boobs are too big/my body is too wide to pull it off.
ReplyDeleteOoohh, I like that band! I also love the shirt, I need to go to Ann Taylor Loft more often.
ReplyDeleteAnn Taylor has such cute clothes! I really need to start shopping at stores like that, instead of Old Navy. ;)
ReplyDelete60 miles?! Geeeez. That just sounds crazy to me!! Great job!
Really cute top, Lisa!! I love it :) Keith Urban sings some good tunes! And I love the new band you introduced me to :)
ReplyDeleteSorry about the tough race this weekend (I'm behind...traveling!) but you really have a lot on your plate right now! Things will settle down soon and you'll be back to enjoying your races! That top is quite cute.
ReplyDeleteVery cute top!! We don't have that store in my city.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Ann Taylor LOFT, but it is my wallet's enemy. I seriously cannot go in that store without drooling on something and buying it. LOVE.
ReplyDeleteI love that top!
ReplyDeleteAs for the running, you are doing so well. I am happy if I even run at all. I would be ecstatic with 60 miles!
