Current Thoughts

Happy happy Monday to you all!  Hope your weekends were all just peachy and splendid.  I have a lot of random thoughts bouncing around this little head of mine, so you will be getting them all right now, in no particular order.  Enjoy!

• What on God's green earth is a "booty like a Cadillac"??  Do I want one of these?  Do I have one?  I ponder this every single time this song comes on the radio, which is like 50x a day

• Taylor Swift's new album drops today and the CD player in my car has been broken for months.  OH THE HUMANITY!  How am I going to live?  TSwift is just my favorite ever, and each time she's released a new album it has played on repeat in my car for weeks.  I suppose I could download it on iTunes like the rest of the modern world but my car doesn't have an adapter so I would just have to turn the volume waaaaaaaaaay up on my iPhone while it sits in my passenger seat.  So bootleg!

• This weekend I stopped in to see Sarah at Charm City Run!  I had a gift certificate that was about to expire and baby needed a new pair of shoes.  So, I did something kinda crazy.  I ordered moon shoes (aka Hokas).  I can't wait to get them!  (However, I'm mildly worried no one will want to be seen with me/run with me in these things.)  I already run in max cushioned standard running shoes (Nike Vomeros) but these take cushioning to a whole new level.  They felt amazing and bouncy on my test run, and surprisingly were extremely light - lighter than my Nikes.  Amazing.  Once I get them and run in them more, I'll give you guys more feedback.

• I got all kinds of great things in the mail this weekend.  My mom surprised me and sent me a Graze snack box! The woman is constantly worried I'm not eating enough.  Her famous first and last words each time I see her "EAT SOMETHING!"  Is this an Italian thing or does everyone's mother do this?!  I haven't tried the snacks yet, but when I do I'll let you know what I think.  They are all GMO free, trans fat free and don't use high fructose corn syrup or artificial ingredients.  Sounds legit.

• And I received a recent Amazon order containing my very favorite protein powder in all the land as well as my current favorite vegan bars.  Just goodness to eat for weeks here.

• I just realized that October is nearly over and I haven't had a SINGLE piece of candy corn to date! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!  I have no idea how this happened.  Candy corn comes but once a year and my window of opportunity is slowly closing.  I think the problem here is that October just went WAY too fast.  This situation calls for emergency action.  What if all of the stores are already sold out?!

• Every time I go to the library, I pick up this book and then put it down because I know the nightmares it reveals, and I know once I read it I'll try to go full vegan again.  I was thiiiiiis close to checking it out at the library yesterday and once again chickened out.

• There are very few, if any, advantages to cold weather, but I was just recently reminded of one this week.  LESS FREQUENT LEG SHAVING!  Hip hip hooray

• Annnnnnnnnd, it's going to be 75 degrees in Baltimore tomorrow.  I plan to don my swimsuit for my evening run.

That's all folks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Have a great day :)


Tell me something random!

Ever run in Hokas?!  Would you?

What's the last piece of great mail you received?
