- 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.
Tell me something random!
Ever run in Hokas?! Would you?
What's the last piece of great mail you received?
People are LOVING the Hoka Cliftons of late. So many people are in them! I hope that they work for you!
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, don't read the book. Don't do that to yourself. There is a great deal of inhumanity in the world, and yet life goes on. Control what you can control, but take care of your body too!
Let's hope so! They are prob the most bizarre shoes I've ever worn! Full report to come.
DeleteOh this eating meat thing weighs heavily on my mind all the time. It's just really upsetting to me :(
Wooooo so glad we got to catch up for awhile! Don't worry, pretty soon we'll be twins with our moon shoes. It will be really cute, don't worry.
ReplyDeleteHahaha, I guess if we wear them together people will be less likely to stare?! Or perhaps even more likely????
DeleteA friend who shared my Brooks Ghost love recently switched to the Hokas and LOVES them! He highly recommended I give them a try. They'll be my next purchase for sure. I've got the VIP membership through roadrunnersports.com with the wear-em-and-love-em guarantee, so I've really got nothing to lose by trying them!
ReplyDeleteOh that's encouraging to hear! I can't wait to take them out on the road. I'll do a full report when I get a few runs on them.
DeleteCan you believe this weather? GORGEOUS!
ReplyDeleteSomething random: I am having leftover gouda mac and cheese for lunch. It is not healthy, but it is DIVINE. :-) And I made it!
We got another little heat wave the past 2 days! I really hope winter never ever comes.
DeleteOh I wish I could cook things like that. It's something I need to work on...but never do :)
YOU DO NOT want a BOOTY LIKE A CADILLAC! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO you do not!
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAH Well, what in the world IS it?!?! Please tell me!!!!!!!!
DeleteI LOVE Taylor Swift...and I love her song Shake it Off!!! And don't feel bad...my car doesn't have an adapter for my phone either. :-( I have several friends who just bought Hokas and love them! I hope you do too!
ReplyDeleteYay for Taylor fans! She's the best.
DeleteI am super excited to try my Hokas! I can't wait to see how they compare to 'normal' shoes!
"booty like a Cadillac"?? omg you had me laughing lol! I honestly wonder what is that as well.
