FRIDAY YO!

Friday, August 31st, 2012

Happy Friday to you! Doesn’t that feel good?  Just to know it’s Friday? Last night was so close to Friday I had some skinny margaritas (that were actually good!) with Linds.

(If you would like me to do some professional photo-shopping for you, let me know-as you can see I’m really good at it.)

Let’s get to some Friday Searches!

• A guy at my gym stretches longer that he runs on treadmill (Do you go to my gym too?)
• His and her friendship necklaces (I’m still mad at PartyDog for not wanting to wear friendship necklaces with me.)
• Photo of boby builder peeing in there pants (Uh, that’s really specific…)
• Socks after running (Are pretty disgusting.)
• Voluptuous bodies (Lots of that going on RSF… I get called voluptuous all the time.)
• Why do I have extra bone in ankle? (Do we have the same parents?)
• Ryan lochte jeah jeah jeah high fiving cardboard

Obviously since people are searching for my favorite gif of all time, I need to post it.

Seriously, will that ever get old?  Doubt it.  Gets me each and every time.

That’s all the nonsense I have for now!

Tell me your labor day plans so I can get jealous that I’m not invited to hang out with you!

First World Problems

Thursday, August 30th, 2012

My very first First World Problems (FWP) post! I typically leave the complaining up to the Gingerfoxxx but today I decided to participate.

1.  Why does every station on Pandora turn into the same station? It doesnt matter if I make a J. Biebs station, Good Charlotte or Rilo Kiley it always ends up playing The Postal Service, The Shins and Katy Perry.  I’m so sick of Pandora right now.

FWP!

2.  Remember that awful manicure I gave myself while under the influence of too much red wine?  That beautiful manicure now looks like this just two days later. I’m not sure if it looks better now or then but either way my nails still look like crap. As do my nasty fingers.

 

FWP!

3. Normally after you host something at your house you’re left with a ton of leftover food.  That was not the case after book club considering I had one lone grape left post-book club.  I ate it, enjoyed it and wanted more.

FWP!

4.  Speaking of friends, I hate that I can’t just hang out with them whenever I want because of work, dinner making and being an adult in general.  Thankfully my girlfriend Linds feels the same way so we are going to drown our sorrows in food and drinks tonight at Cantina Laredo.  I mean I haven’t seen her since Sunday and it’s Thursday. Ugh, and the food better be good or that’s another FWP.

FWP!

5. Netflix has been super choppy on my phone lately.  Um don’t they know I have to watch Nip/Tuck while I’m on the elliptical?  Nothing worse then something about to happen and the show stops and just says BUFFERING for the next 20 minutes. I’m on to you Netflix-stream faster on my busted little phone that I can barely see while working out.

FWP!

6.  I only had enough of coffee creamer left this morning to make my coffee look slightly less black than it does without creamer. I like my coffee to be the color of caramel and taste like candy.  My coffee tastes like actual coffee this morning.

FWP!

7.  When PartyDog is not around for dinner I rarely have any motivation to cook anything but a ceasar salad for myself. And by cook I mean make crutons, compile lettuce in a bowl, load with dressing and stuff my face.  Sadly my motivation to even make croutons which takes all of three minutes to make has diminished.  Why isn’t there an endlesss supply of homemade croutons readily available for my consumption?

FWP!

8.  It’s not Friday.

FWP!

Let’s hear your FWP of the day!

I’m Not FitFluential

Wednesday, August 29th, 2012

Remember this post where I peed myself over the excitement of being chosen to be a FitFluential ambassador?  Well on Sunday I officially resigned from being an ambassador.

Now I don’t want you to get the wrong impression and think that  I have anything against FitFluential.  I don’t.  It just honestly wasn’t for me.

Yes I try to promote a healthyish life-style.  I workout, eat healthy and love being apart of the healthy living community.  However, I don’t like feeling like I have to blog a certain way or suck-up to bigger bloggers.  When did blogging become a popularity contest?  I’m me and that’s all I want to be  (and probably the reason why I’m not in the cool kids club…).

I like to drink wine, eat white bread and I don’t #eatclean all of the time.  I also like to do whatever I want and blog about whatever I want, it’s my blog after all.

So, I wish FitFluential the best of luck and much success, but we have parted ways.

Don’t worry, I’ll continue to be classy as always. Probably even classier from here on out.

That’s all the nonsense I have for now!

What are your thoughts on bloggers being ambassadors for companies and/or products?

A Number of Things

Tuesday, August 28th, 2012

1. I need to stop blogging after having a couple glasses of wine.  Sometimes what I think is funny/clever when I’m a couple glasses in, really isn’t.  Also, my spelling and grammar in the posts are even worse then they typically are if that’s even possible.

2.  Another thing you shouldn’t do after drinking wine is paint your nails.

If anyone would like me do their next manicure e-mail me.

3.  Actually, I should probably be honest and tell you that I’m a couple glasses in as I type this post…. don’t judge me.  I also just ate half of a baguette.  Welcome to my life.

4. Sunday night was another one of those nights where I absolutely did not sleep.  The issue was I was SO tired but wide awake at the same time.  Did you know that it’s fairly hard to kill 8 hours in the middle of the night when you’re up alone?  Lots of reading happened as well as some Nip/Tuck at 2:00 AM.  However, I think  I found the culprit of my insomnia because every time I take it, I’m awake for all hours of the night peeping on you from my window with binoculars late at night.

5.  Speaking of Nip/Tuck, I really want someone to watch it with me right now.  Most people have already watched it so I’m constantly hearing ‘ OMG just wait it gets even crazier.”  I need someone to talk to about it NOW.  I also need some justification here, does anyone else find Matt cute?  It feels weird that I’m attracted to him for some reason…probably because when I tell people this they give me an utter look of disgust.  He looks a little like Michael Jackson no?

6. Anyone interested in running under my name for the Chicago Marathon?  Because of my busted ankle I’m not able to run and I have a race bib for this sold out race.  I bought it for $150.00 and am selling for $75.00 or best offer…. but I’m only selling it to someone who’s fast that way if they search my name on Athlinks it will show how fast I am.  Actually I think I’ll only sell it to someone who can qualify me for Boston.  In all seriousness though, if you are interested  or know anyone who is, email me at readysetfeast@gmail.com.

That’s all the nonsense I have for now!

I’m interested in knowing if anyone else has certain times/ocassions they try to avoid blogging or if I’m the only one who sucks.
