Half Marathon

I did very little training for the Cleveland half marathon. Decided 4 weeks before that I was going to do it. It was hot and tough, but fun. It was not my first half, but my most enjoyable (and by far my slowest!)  So I feel good to check something else off my list for the year.

Spring Play List

What I'm listening to:
1. Time Spent in Los Angeles by Dawes
2. Happy Pills by Norah Jones
3. Simple Song by The Shins
4. Calling Me Names by Good Old War
5. Shadow Days by John Mayer
6. Share the Moon by Indigo Girls
7. Down in the Valley by Head and the Heart
8. Waking up Sideways by Kassidy
9. Hold On by Alabama Shakes
10. Ho Hey by The Lumineers
11. Little Talks by Of Monsters and Men
12. Looking for a Sign by Beck (which if you know me should surprise you...because I have always disliked Beck...but this song is really good.)

The Spring list is pretty chill. I've been listening to them for awhile. Summer is right around the corner. I will need some new music!

Painted Room

We finally got some of the artwork up in the front room. The room color is Sherwin Williams Cooled Blue (I think??) and the rest of the walls are a light gray (dark gray on the bottom of dining room). Don't mind the birthday decorations for my little man. I do love a good accent wall. It is a tad much for some, but it really flows in my house. Hopefully I will get more photos of my house up soon.
