Time for Some Friday Searches!

Happy Friday everyone! Friday only means one thing: Friday Searches!

• Ready Set Feast Guod (this cracked me up)
• Are Luna bars tasty (um, duh they rock)
• Big toe tendon
• Can you faint during MRI (I almost did, so probably)
• Emma Roberts pants unzipped (Sadly, I did blog about this)
• I love that body (ok?)
• P. Diddy’s mom (That’s weird right?)
• Skinny Runner hair (I can’t tell you much about her hair, sorry)
• Look less disgusting at the gym (Also can’t help you there since I look disgusting 100% of the time at the gym)

I of course had the usual Ryan Gosling pee (I can’t seem to get away from that) and a lot of searches regarding 50 Shades of Grey.  The winner this week goes to:

• Tanktop pupils

What on earth is tanktop pupils?

There. Whoever searched that is satisfied now I hope.

I’ll recap my trip next week but I’ll leave you with something exciting we did yesterday.

The Redwoods! It was incredible and even my gorilla self felt short for a change. Today we’re off to Fern Canyon where they filmed Jurassic Park! I’ll let you know what dinosaurs I see. I hope we see Jeff Goldblum too since that’s PartyDog’s celebrity doppleganger.

Max seriously loves that he looks like him. It’s kind of weird. That’s all the nonsense I have for now!

Who’s your celeb doppleganger??

Guest Post: Guod’s First Half!

I hope you all remember my love Guod.  Because I’m so proud of the kid, I forced him to write a post on his upcoming half-marathon!  Also, I forced him to write it since I’m basically in control of his life right now: eat this, run this, wear this, do that.  He loves me. Enjoy Guod, I’ll be back tomorrow with some Friday searches!

Hey all! Guod here filling in for the Kelsey while she’s in California. A lot has happened since the last time I wrote for ye olde Ready Set Feast and I thought that I should take a quick break from online dating and being awesome to share! The big news is, I’m running my first half-marathon next weekend, Boston’s Run to Remember! I know what you’re thinking, and yes this will really help boost my OkCupid profile!

So several weeks ago I figured I should put together a training schedule to get ready for my first 13.1. I showed Kelsey what I came up with and according to her I would have to cut back on the burritos and actually do some running. I protested but to no avail. So here is what she came up with for me:

I got pretty serious about it all and I finally went and got fitted for running shoes. After several pairs, and a little convincing the clerk I wasn’t bow-legged, I settled on the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 12’s.

With my new kicks I was ready to go from…

to this..

in no time at all. I have purposely grown a serious beard to create drag while I run. My theory is if I shave it the morning of the half I can shave 15 to 20 seconds off my pace. It’s science.

Now I know what you’re all wondering and the answer is yes, I still listen to Maritime and ONLY Maritime when I run. I’m talking two hours straight of these guys bumping in my ears and keeping my feet moving.

 So I have just one week until the big race and I couldn’t be more pumped! My parents even found someone to keep an eye on my basement back in Maryland for the weekend and are headed up to Boston to cheer me on! For an added bonus I have no work on Monday so I can spend all day in a tub of ice recovering! Man, online dating is way harder than I thought.

That’s all the nonsense I have for now!

Where’s the WiFi?

I need to stop assuming airports will have free WiFi. Since I’m a crappy Blogger, I didn’t have a post prepared for this morning in case o’hare didn’t have WiFi so I’m blogging from my phone.  And wishing I had this right now:

While you’re reading this I’m on my way to Arcata California with Partydog to visit his mom! I’m sure you’ve never heard of Arcata so Google it. It’s located in Humboldt county which is the pot capitol of the US. Fun fact huh?

So, we have a four hour flight to San Francisco and then a five hour drive to Arcata. We come back Sunday at midnight. Jealous of my glamorous  life?

I’ll have a real post when we get there and I actually have some WiFi. Happy Wednesday!

That’s all the nonsense I have for now!

The Meat War

In case you missed the 23920 times I mentioned that my parents were coming to visit this past weekend, they did.  My parents live back home in my favorite state of Maryland which means I don’t get to see them that often, so when I see them it’s a big deal.  A really big deal because that means the Meat War is back on.

My family is big on gag gifts and my dad is normally the worst offender.  Two years ago I got my dad the best present he’s ever received: a bag of nine plastic meats.  If you only choose to know one thing about my dad, it’s that he loves meat, so naturally a bag of plastic toy meat is the perfect present.

However, since I’ve given him this present a war has been going on in our household.  People, this is serious. Whenever we are together, the entire time is spent either looking for a place to hide a piece of meat, or looking for the hidden meat.  We come prepared.  The hiding places get better each visit. I found a chicken wing in my umbrella:

I found a chicken nugget last night.

I also found a hot-dog wrapped in aluminum foil in my freezer and the hot-dog showed up again in my shower Monday morning.  JT thinks he’s clever.

The problem when your parents are the visitors is that there are really no places to hide the meat other than jacket pockets or in the suitcase.  The other problem being that my father was on suitcase watch the entire time so I didn’t have any time to  find a good hiding spot in his suitcase, or so he thinks….

Until next time JT, until next time….

That’s all the nonsense I have for now!  Does your family do anything weird like mine??
