5 Things To Like This Week

NACH-YO'S.  Mine.

1.  Barbacoas $5 Nachos.  Every Wednesday is $5 nachos at Barbacoas Burritos and Wraps in Spearfish.  I had never tried this special before, so I stopped by after the gym.  Man, I'm glad I did!  It was so good!  I got shredded chicken which was slow cooked, tender and juicy.  I skimped on the queso and cheese, but I got a good dose of heart healthy guacamole, spicy salsa and onions.  It so hit the spot!

You know you want to run with me.  Like this.

2.  The Couch to 5K Running Program.  So, as you may or may not know, I quit smoking on April 25th of this year. I also made a decision to get healthier this summer.  In doing so, I've started this rad running program called "From Couch to 5K" and it is rocking my running world.  Mind you, before I started smoking, I used to run damn near every day.  I'm not sure if I'll do a 5K, but I would like to get back in the habit of running.  It's been a long time, but I'm determined to get healthy again!

Hello Bradley.  Call me.

3.  "Silver Linings Playbook" movie.  I've posted about mental illness before on my blog and how important it is to remove the stigma associated with it.  This movie did a fantastic job of showing how, not only individuals struggle with mental illness, but how families are effected as well.  I would highly recommend this movie.  All of the actors did an outstanding job in their roles.  A very touching and sometimes even humorous account of how many people live their lives.

These look like my first phone, kids!!  Ha.  Ha.  Just kidding!
I mean, er, uh, JK!

4.  NOT having my cell phone.  I lost my cell phone last Saturday.  Yes, LAST Saturday.  11 days ago.  I've been without my cell phone for 11 days.  I honestly haven't missed it.  I let people know it was gone and how to contact me if they really needed to . . . and shazam!  No biggie.  I didn't have a smart phone, so I didn't lose a lot, just a few recent contacts.  In a way, it kinda weirds me out relying on any electronic device.  I've had tons of computers crash and I don't own a ton of tangible stuff.  I'm not afraid of loss.  I just have to roll with it.  Anyway, I'm borrowing a smart phone right now to get by, but I'm not sure I want one when my contract is over with this phone company in two months. I don't mean to seem elitist, I'm just a little cheap.  I can't see paying an extra amount of $ every month for a service I really don't need.

That's not a real frog!  Silly!

5.  Cherry Berry Frozen Yogurt.  OK.  Here is the trick about this place.  Less is more.  Seriously.  I went there this weekend with J and he got me a strawberry and cream yogurt with pomegranate boba, sour gummy worms, and 2 gummy frogs.  It was delicious!  It was also the first time J had tried boba and it was funny listening to him describe it for the first time, but he liked it!  Boba is the bomb!  They are like little juice bombs.  YUM!

Luv,
Nik
