The Definition of a 'Chris Look'

I tease my husband A LOT  every now and then about different stuff (age, 'Chris looks', silliness - he loves it, I know he does). One of our favorites, which has also been adopted by his sister, is the 'Chris look'.

Many times my husband will be looking for stuff and will state that he's searched everywhere and just can't find _____.
My response is usually "Did you do a Chris look?"
Chris "No, I really checked everywhere and I can't find it."
Me "Do you want me to try to look for it?" (giving him another opportunity to find said item)
Chris "Yeah, go for it. I looked everywhere. I have no idea where it is. "
 10 seconds to a minute later

Me "Found it"
Chris "Where?!? I swear I looked everywhere!"
Me "Oh, just found it _____" (shaking head and pointing to a non-hidden or unusual place to find the item)
Both of us "Oh CT, what are we gonna do with you" (shaking our heads and chuckling)

Case in point. I was sitting down to have my lunch a few minutes ago and get a phone call from Chris. He wants to know where our address book is so he can give his dad a friend of ours' address (side bar - they delivered a healthy baby boy (Jack James) early this morning. We could not be more happy for them! Truly a blessing!). Our address book is typically stored in the 2nd drawer of the desk in our kitchen. We don't use it a ton, except to send out Christmas cards - otherwise it doesn't really move. He is aware of this spot.

Chris "I looked all over the place, do you know where it is?"
Me "Well, did you check the desk drawer? That's where it usually is."
Chris "Yeah, I looked there and I didn't see it." (checking desk drawer as he's saying this)
   a few seconds pass
Chris "Oh, I guess I didn't pull the drawer out far enough..."
   pause
Chris "Thanks hun!"
Me "No problem, love you!" (secretly plotting my next blog post)

Happy Thursday! We leave for Florida in less than 2 days, can't wait!!

Confessions of a Workin' (out) Girl

I've been inspired by Kelly to document my workouts. And since I am actually working out right now, I figured why not blog about it and hold myself accountable. The hubs and I started a little competition "goal plan" to get us inspired to work out. My goal is to run/workout equivalent to 25 miles/week and his is 20/week. This was started mid December and is scheduled, for sure, until we leave for Florida in 3 weeks. 


So, here's what I got up to this past week:


Sunday, January 8 - 1st spin class ever - about died, but felt amazing!
Monday,  January 9 - Step Plus Abs class and Zumba class
Tuesday, January 10 - 2nd spin class - not as difficult as the first but was happy to be there at 5:45 on a work day
Wednesday, January 11 - 1st Aqua Fit class - was more of a workout than I was expecting!
Thursday, January 12 - no workout, date night with the hubs
Friday, January 13 - ran 4 miles on the treadmill, 1 mile on the StairMaster and a light ab workout
Saturday, January 14 - Spin class was full so I walked 1.25 on the 'mill before kickbox cardio class followed by Zumba
Sunday, January 15 - ran 5 miles straight on the 'mill (time 52:30 - for me to see improvement, not to brag cuz that's not too fast) 


I'm definitely seeing improvements! I really enjoy going to the classes, I wish they offered more at different times. 


Today I went with Chris to Golf Galaxy to use up some gift cards he got while playing in a tournament last Tuesday (yep, outdoor tournament in MN on January 10 - crazy). I scored the best deal on a golf shirt for when I golf in Florida in a few weeks. It was originally priced for $60 and with the crazy clearance and one of his $10 gift cards, it was mine for just over $16. I was sooo excited! 


I hope you had a great weekend! Check back tomorrow for "Makeover Monday"
