Three Things Thursday

1. What are you plans for Independence Day? I'm headed downtown to watch the fireworks at Pinstripes. They're hosting a shindig that I scored a pair of tickets to. I'm looking forward to treats and beverages while watching the show over Navy Pier. Do you think they'd mind if I brought my own s'mores ingredients? I mean, that firepit is just begging for it.

2. I had the chance to watch a few friends compete in the Bigfoot Triathlon last weekend, and it really just made me itchy to get out there. I didn't sign up myself because I'm already concerned my race schedule is super full, but watching my friends tackle the distance and succeed made me want to be out there, too. So of course, I've spent all week watching triathlon videos and getting super excited to train this weekend. With the long weekend ahead, I'll be spending a day in Madison swimming in Lake Monona and biking the Ironman Wisconsin course. Basically, trying to recapture the glory I experienced last fall. It's #Ironbitch time.

But I wanna be doing that, too .... 

3. Napoleon's been making new friends. Specifically, Alissa's baby Lydia. He tried to cuddle with her, tried to get into her car seat with her and followed her out the door. I think they're in love.
