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?

Things I Did & Didn't Do This Weekend

DIDN'T...set an alarm either day.

 

DID...sleep in past nine both Saturday and Sunday.  It had been weeks since I'd done that.  Between getting up with the kids at my sister's the week before and then coming back and working Sunday through Friday this week, I was literally counting down the hours on Friday to when I could get in my bed and sleep with no agenda or wake-up call the next morning.  Heaven!

 

DIDN'T...drink any alcohol this weekend.  Or go 'out' for that matter.  I haven't been feeling 'drinky' lately.  Rolling with it.

 

DID... a lot of thinking about this book that I just finished reading last week:

 

 

DIDN'T...clean or vacuum my apartment.  This prob should have been a DID but Oh well.

 

DID...stop by a new-to-me vegan café - Sprout - for a green smoothie and it was yummy. 

 

DIDN'T...work out Saturday.

 

DID...run Friday and Sunday.

 

DIDN'T...get out my Fall clothes yet or switch around my closet. Still wearing flip flops and t-shirts over here.  This is going to need to happen soon.

 

DID...finally watch The Secret Life of Walter Mitty and loved it.  The scenery was amazing.  I now want to go to Iceland.  Plus, I always enjoy the sweet vulnerability, humor and giant ears of Mr. Stiller.

 

DIDN'T...enjoy the colder weather yesterday.  Not one bit.  I have 0 use for cold weather.  I'm in Fall denial.  **See state of my closet above.

 

DID...get a random text from someone who saw me on a Veep rerun this weekend!  Remember that time I was an extra on the show last year?!

 

 

DIDN'T...get my hair cut.  I was hoping to make an appointment to do this since it's been over two years since my last one but it didn't happen.

 

DID...however receive compliments on said hair from 3 separate random strangers while I was out and about this weekend so I guess that means it can't be THAT bad?!

 

DIDN'T...eat enough vegetables.  I am craving a giant salad and have no spinach or greens in my house.

 

DID...get a wax.  TMI?!!  Oh well.  I like a good bikini wax.  And now you know.  You're welcome.

 

DIDN'T...plan out the rest of my life, but

 

DID...update my resume!  It's been a year since I've taken that thing to task and though it was annoying, it's done.  Oh how I love reducing my life's work to one sheet of paper. 

 

 

 

So tell me, what DID or DIDN'T you do this weekend?!
