Using the Vitamin D Card

Quick Post! 
I was just laying out in my back patio and wanted to brag announce to the blog world that we finally have sunshine and warm weather in central Ohio! Wooo!

Good thing I only read healthy living blogs and not claim to be one... because this is sure as hell is not considered healthy... at least I'm getting my vitamin D....!


Wear Sunscreen,

Yays and Nays

Hello! It's been a crazy week, but I have some downtime so the only thing I could think to do (well, after I re-watched the season finale of Vampire Diaries) was to blog... naturally, right?!


Way back in college, specifically my sophomore year, I was living with my best friend in a little tiny dorm room. I'm pretty sure we fought just enough, if not more, than we got along, but that is really besides the point of this little story... but just to clarify, and to go even further away from the point, she is still always my best friend and we are totally open with our sister-like squabbles battles...hi Jamie!!!


Anyway... back on track...


We (Jamie and I) had a dry erase board on our room, that we designated as the "YAY/NAY" board. Whenever we had things we didn't like we would write it under the NAY category and vice versa under the YAY category. So in honor of having nothing too openly blog about, I decided to do a blog version of the "YAY/NAY" board... feel free to read on and add any YAYs or NAYs you may have yourself!!


YAYS
     Coffee in the Morning...

    Mary-Kate and Ashley...

      Mary-Kate and Ashley Movies from 
      the Library - thanks rooommate!

     Peanut Butter...

     Spending time with Family... 
     (who doesn't like me doesn't like me taking pictures)

 NAYS
     Swollen Ankles...

     Paying Rent...

     Going to your Grandma's funeral...

These flowers are from the funeral, it was my mom who told me to put them in a beer bottle, no worries, I drank the beer first then filled it with water... but I still think their getting drunk and wilting.

Usually with my "no attitude" I have more Nays than Yays... but surprisingly enough, I have more Yays....so yay!!! Maybe I'm getting out of my deep, dark, the world hates me phase of my life...! ? Eh... here's hopin'!! haha


Friday go quick! pretty please?

Fun Weekend, Bad Blogger

Hello! I'm alive!!! I know you all were just on your seats, staring at your screen in extreme anticipation for my next blog post about my weekend.... and I'm sure when there was no post by Sunday night, you all were practically in tears, thinking that I did not survive my weekend at OU..... and

.......that I fell off a balcony....... or got trampled by a riot police horse...... or choked from bonging too many beers.....or died from heatstroke.... or that blood stopped flowing to my legs from squeezing into my skinny sister's shorts....or that I got struck by lightening....

but no worries! I'm alive....(although I'm still waiting for a blood clot to form in my left thunder thigh and kill me...)

Anyway, I arrived Saturday early afternoon, only to find my sister on the porch drinking a lovely Nautral Light brewskie while awaiting my arrival. Oh college, how I do miss you.... Shortly after arriving we walked up the street to Mill Fest.... which looked a lot like this 1 picture I took:

Just kidding... I took 5 more pictures... which should actually only count as 1 since it took 5 tries to get a semi-decent picture...

....which apparently wasn't enoguh....

This weekend was so much fun.... and this blog post would be 100x MORE fun had I been a bad blogger and took pictures of the police in riot gear, and the police on horses, and my amazing pita from the pita pit, and my sister's amazing midnight snack concoction of popcorn, goldfish and Cap'n Crunch peanut butter puffs, aaaand my amazing bagel Sunday morning called the "bluenanner"... (which was a blueberry bagel, honey, banana, and cinnamon), and of obviously more closeup pictures of me and my sister my sister and I... and shooter's???? Yes, this is a new one to me as well.... looks like a kids pool toy... apparently bonging beer is out of style and shooting beer is in?? beats the hell out of me....

I had so much fun.... I am so jealous that my roommate and her sister get to hang out all the time, so I'm glad I finally got a whole 24 hours with just me and the kelsonator00 (if you want to chat with her on AIM)

Did I have Fun? yes

Will I do this again? most likely

Can I do this every weekend? hell no.

Still hydrating,

Please Wish me Luck!

Remember my post about Endorphins? Well, I put that to practice this morning and did a 2 mile run and a modified cardio version of Level 1 Shred. I decided instead of throwing a pity party for myself and my ankle, I would make do with what I'm able to do and not worry about it.


So, with all my wonderful endorphins flowing threw my body.... I'm icing my ankle like a good little runner and eating the best bowl of overnight oats I've had in awhile.

Oh, and pounding water like it's my job.... I'm going to OU today to visit my sister. All I can say is wish me luck..... I'm preparing for a 2-3 day hangover. 


Recap to come tomorrow about my stint at college part two.... if I make it alive. 


Enjoy the weekend!

Friday.

This is my Friday night:

Yep. I'm feeling sorry for myself.

So here are some pluses about my life: 

• I get to see my sister tomorrow
• I facebook chatted (please don't judge!) with my best friend tonight... I really wish she lived by me....life would be so much easier if she lived in Columbus... but moving on..
• I get to run 2 miles in the morning
• I ate dinner without buying anything
• I got paid today?

Be positive,

Five Things on a Tuesday

By now, after reading several of my blog posts,  I'm sure you all have a pretty good insight into my life... and by insight, I mean that it is  b o r i n g...

So instead of toruting you through an hour by hour, minute by minute recap of my Monday, you guys get the pleasure of reading.....

5 Rando Things About Me

(which may or may not have been discovered on Monday).

1. I went to my sports chiropractor Monday morning. Good news is I have great insurance. Bad news is I can only run 5 miles a week...total.
2. I grew up swimming everyday for fun. I have never used swimming as a workout. However, this week I am purchasing Wal-Mart one peice bathing-suits for my roommate, Annie, and I, and we are going to do Zumba Swimming on Thursday evenings. (I'm using the random fact as more of a statement and a goal that will be achieved. And yes, I support any kind of harassament on Annie's blog about chickening out on this adventure).
3. Since moving in with a photo nerd, I realized that taking pictures of bright food in sunlight is fun.... even if they are horrible quality.

4. I'm openly obbsessed with Vampire Diaries, and even more obbsessed with Damon.
5. I LOVE breakfast. It's my favorite. I also get really angry and annoyed when people don't eat it because they are trying to lose weight..... no wonder there is such an obesity problem in this country.

Grab a granola bar, a banana, heck even a piece of pizza.... and eat if for breakfast!!!!

Lack of Brain Power, Laziness and a Satisfactory 5 Days

I've been MIA in the blog world for a little bit... well, by blog world I mean me, myself, and I actually creating real posts with my nonsense babble. I'm very much in the blog world everyday when it comes to reading other blogs and stalking stranger's lives.... 


But anyway, the past 5 days have been interesting, but not the exciting interesting you get when things just happen to fall in place and you are on an amazing high from loving your life - no, my interesting was the result of just not using my brain. 
Take for example my Wednesday evening... after work I thought it'd be perfect to stop at Target to make some returns.... turns out it was even more perfect because I walked out without making any purchases (which is typically NOT heard of... for any 20-something girl). So I get home, park my car, grab all my stuff from a day at work, close my car door and panic- 

"where are my keys?" 

"they aren't in my hands... oh shit!...."

 "they're in my car... and the doors are locked!"

"and oh no.... my apartment key is in my car, and my apartment is locked.."

"and my roommate isn't coming home tonight!!!!" 

Yep. Awesome right? NOT!!! Haha, the evening turned into lots of phone calls, some tears and an hour and a half wait in the January May weather for the Pop-a-Lock man to come and unlock my car... which took about, oh, 2 minutes - maaybe 3?


My interesting evening continued with burning popcorn and discovering my hair straightener that had been on ALL day - I think my title should be NO Brain Power instead of LACK of brain power. 

This is where the picture of my car keys laying on my front seat would go. I guess it turns out that an hour and a half of sitting on my front porch wasn't enough time to snap a photo. 

But now that I have completely taken up way too much blog space on the topic of my natural stupidity... I'll keep the end of this novel short, sweet and to the point. 


My Friday was filled with work and a night before meal of pizza: (homemade)

After a surpsrisingly good night of sleep, I woke up with oats in a jar for a little pre-race meal action:

My race was satisfactory. I hadn't run any distance over 7 miles in the past few weeks and my ankle and foot were still bothering me. I finished the half marathon in 1:56, which really is a good time, but since I finished with a time of 1:54 6 months ago, I know I have the ability to do better than what I did... BUT every race can't be a PR, right?!


Once the race was over, I basically literally did nothing. Yes. Nothing. Except for Sunday when I did manage to get out on Sunday for a little grocery shopping and sun bathing in the back patio... which probably wasn't the best idea, since it looks like my fat ass broke one of the  patio furniture chairs... well, maybe not broke, but it sure as hell is sagging! 

Welp, thanks for reading my nonsense and I promise I'll blog more this week... with less words and more pictures... and hopefully about something uplifting, like I randomly won a million dollars for doing nothing and I don't have to work anymore....


Here's hopin',
