Weekend Check-in šŸ‘»: October 12th

Well hello my dear Blendiez! And happy birthday to Kyle B., my very first crush! We were both ten when he moved in across the street from me, I was smitten, and remained so for about eight years. He didnā€™t feel the same, but that didnā€™t diminish the fervor of my love. I still see what heā€™s up to from time to time, as I keep in touch with his mom on social media. But obviously Iā€™m over him now! šŸ˜‚ Do you remember your first crush?

Enough about Kyle and crushes! How are you crushing it with your workout? Tasha torture? Team Brian, agreeing that it ā€œsuckedā€ but feeling great? Floating in the see like Lea after walking a billion steps? Or maybe taking a much needed rest day? I am going for a long walk, then doing some total body mobility and stretching with Kayla and Erica.

Whatā€™s on the menu tonight? I am going to a soup party, and my contribution is a butternut squash curry.

Youā€™re not done with me yet! Pic: the famous staircase in the Loretto Chapel in Santa Fe. Originally it didnā€™t have a rail to it. I believe it was carved from a single piece of wood, and something about it defies the laws of physics or engineering. And thereā€™s some mystery about the man who carved it- he showed up to the chapel one day, created the staircase, and when he was done just disappeared. Youā€™ll have to Google it yourself- Iā€™ve only had half a cup of coffee and have already rambled in enough! More pics in the replies.

Have a wonderful day, and I look forward to reading you!
