That Curl can RUN!

Soooo many pictures!!!!!!  I did make it to the gym this morning, thank you very much. I worked up a sweat like nobody's business. Really. Nobody wanted any part of that business, it was gross. We are in week 4 of the 12 week program. It's not going the way it was intended, as we both slacked last week due to school work (her) and vacation (moi). Regardless, we aren't giving up. She has gained 2 lbs since school started and I'm just not at the fitness level I'd like to be. We will keep going, and I'll keep you posted on our progress. Today: 7 mins, 2 rounds each. Repeat. 10 burpees 20 jump lunges 24 step up w/ knee up 15 sumo squats 100 reps jump rope 24 walking lunges 30 reverse lunge w/knee up 15 jump squats We finished almost 2 rounds of each, only being a bit short on the 4th exercise of the second round. Dead. D.E.D Dead. Yay fitness. I'm eating free Oreo's that I discovered in the lunch room right now... _______________________...

Oh blog friends, how are you?? I'm a little more tan, a little more tired, and a little more tense. Back to reality, but back to the good part of reality. I went to Florida last week, in case you didn't know. I stayed with my sister, nephew, and niece. I ran some, I slept some, I swam some, and I ate some. I'll share all the deets with you tomorrow, ugh, I just used 'deets', I hate that. I have some pictures to share also. For today lets just take a moment of silence for our loss of freedom because we had to come back to work...... Ok! The 2 best, best, best parts of the whole trip were seeing Prell in Florida, and the dude came home. Getting away from it all is much better when some of it is still around. I had a fantastic time with my 'home' gal on vacation, and a fantastic time coming home to see my fave. Thanks for checking back today. I hope you weren't too disappointed that I wasn't around a lot last week. Even part-time bloggers ...

I died last night. For about 2 hours I was super dead with my major headache induced nap. Eyemask, curtains drawn, snuggly blankie. Mmmm. I missed dinner...you know it's a bad night if I miss dinner. I did get a sweet awakening, and thank the Lord, my prayers were answered, my headache was gone. ________________________________________________________________________  Kicking back I didn't run, obvs, because of my weakened condition. Oh, stop, you didn't run either. We did go for a walk, and that probably did more good for me than a lonely, angry, painful run could ever do. There is something about the still of the evening, taking a stroll, and having a nice chat that can make your entire day turn on it's head. Yesterday was Monday, in every way. I needed a break. Thanks for the mini-vacation. Monday Morning Monday afternoon Monday evening As you can see, my Monday started and ended about the same. The pile...

Happy ThoseWhitePantsICallKhaki Thursday! I'm working from my second office today, so they don't know that my pants are the same pants I wear EVERY Thursday. Shhh, don't tell anyone. It's still raining, our spillway is about to spill over, and the sky is grey. I doubt I'll get to the lake this weekend. Alligators, snakes, and closed roads are killing the summer vibe. It's opening weekend of lake season and we're all super bummed. Trust me, 8 weeks from now we'll be in a drought. Stupid weather. _________________________________________________________________________ Sharing is Caring Did you know that the believers in Acts sold their belongings and shared the money with each other as needed? They used everything they had to make sure everyone was equal and taken care of. No hunger, no lack. Our world seems to be geared toward obtaining and maintaining, rather than sharing. We teach our children to share at a young age, but somew...

Tuesday has arrived. It's cloudy, it's humid and it's payday. I am not as excited about that as everyone else. Why? You know why, because I'm the payroll lady! I do get lots of compliments on this day, I get the good parking spot, and someone usually offers to get me lunch. It's not 100% bad, but ooooh, talk about things that put me out on that ledge . Enough about that, I've been busy over the last week. You look like you're ready to read, so here we go! __________________________________________________________________________ Totes ma Zotes I sweat. A lot. My sweat is not made of lavender oil and unicorn glitter, like I wish. It's gross. It stains things. Barf. I know you probably think I'm super perfect because I sound so amazing in my blog. My life is so awesome that you should have plastic surgery to look like me, and you spend countless hours journaling about how you want to be me when you grow up.  Accounting is your life goal, tur...

Guten Tag! I just sneezed all over my desk. Ugh. It's wet and gross outside. I'm allergic to something today. I had to go to the office early. My hair is weird. My hands are sticky. What else can I whine about? I wore yellow today with my 'khaki' pants. Finally broke that navy streak. ____________________________________________________________________ Your heart on your sleeve vs. a chip on your shoulder I'm a touchy-feely kinda gal. I get my feelings hurt easily, I get angry at the stupidest things, I can hold a grudge like it's my job. When I get offended or upset I get a twist in the pit of my stomach that seems to grip my throat, and I usually end up in tears. Not usually in front of you, but it happens. I take things personally, and I fear that people dislike me way more than I should. My emotions drive my mood, and sometimes it can be crushing.  I've put a lot of energy into changing this over the last year and a half. I want to offer ...

It's sun-day on a Monday! There is a big bright thing outside. We aren't sure what to make of it, but it sure is pretty. It has rained here since last Monday or Tuesday(maybe?). Every day brought thunderstorm warnings, tornado watches, tornado warnings, and a constant flash flood warning. We are so water-logged. Roads are washed out, rivers are out of their banks, and tomato plants are hanging on for dear life. Let's catch up on my weekend ok? Here we go! __________________________________________________________________________  Where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain We had a rockin' weather weekend. This was our view from the fire station near my house. The rotation was about 6 miles west of us (looking straight at it). There wasn't a confirmed touch down, but there was a lot of roof damage, and downed trees. These pictures are courtesy of local storm chasers. This tornado and supercell were products of the storm that tracked from Sherm...
