Ramblings

I just killed a gnat with my hands. Gross. I have gnat guts on my left hand.

Why do we spell gnat this way? Wouldn't it be easier to spell it n-a-t?

Did you know male gnats often assemble together in large mating swarms, particularly at dusk, called a ghost? It's true, Wikipedia told me.

Ok, I'm done with gnats.

This morning I tried a new drink at Starbucks, Awake Tea. It's too much caffeine. Currently, I have an attention span of a gnat. Alright so maybe I'm not done with ghats.

Guess who I saw at the OKC Memorial Marathon? Tattoo Girl from the Redbud. I can confirm that her tattoo is roses. She has a huge rose on her left shoulder. I wonder why she decided on roses? I should have asked her.

Last night I worked out with my trainer. She made me do 85 lunges. I'm not kidding I did 85 lunges. FYI...my legs and butt hurt really bad.

Remember how I wanted to learn how to fold a fitted sheet? Well now I want to learn how to make homemade cookies without burning them. What is the secret to perfect cookies? I'm really asking.

These ramblings are lame.

My weight loss competition isn't going so well. Yesterday, I weighed and I've gained almost all my weight back. How is this possible? I've barely eaten anything and I ran 13 miles. Don't tell me it's all muscle! This just confirms that to win this competition I will no longer be able to eat. I will live on liquids for the next two months. Hey, I'm willing to do whatever it takes to win $1500! I want to go to the beach!
Disclaimer...I will eat. I'm being dramatic. I basically have to eat every two hours, which could explain why I haven't lost weight.

This weekend I'm attending a Pub Crawl. Do you know what this is? I didn't until last year. I'm on a team of about 12 people, and each team goes to 5 different bars and drinks 5 pitchers of beer at each bar. I hate beer with a passion. I don't plain to drink anything. I just wanted to see what a Pub Crawl was like, so I joined a team. I'm beginning to think it was a dumb idea, and I don't really want to go anymore. Imaginary high five to the person that can give me the best excuse to get out of the Pub Crawl. Heck, I might even send the winner a surprise if they can give me a good excuse. Hey...I'll send the winner homemade cookies! Not my homemade cookies.

Ok, I'm done rambling.

Over and out.

4 Eyes

Blogger World, I'm part of the population that wear glasses. I've been sporting eye wear since I was in second grade. Lord, was I a sight. I wore huge frames and a flower print jumper.

Since 2007, I've been wearing the same frames. They are square red D&G's, and I think they're adorable. However, my adorable frames sit crooked on my face, and they've been this way since 2008. I've gone to my eye doctor numerous times, but they never fix it right. It's annoying, real annoying!

I have made a goal for myself. Today, I will get someone to fix my glasses. TODAY, my frames will sit straight on my face! I know, it's a small goal, but I think it would make a world of difference.

We've got it going on...

We ran....

They cheered....

Awesome race! My dad ran beside me for 10 miles, that's almost 2 hours of togetherness. If you know anything about my dad and I's running relationship you would know that my dad does not run with me, at all. We start together, and then he's waiting on me at the finish line. It's been this way for over 15 years. It works for us.

This year my dad was the hero of the day. He did not train for the race, went to the Thunder game the night before, and still kicked my butt. I've never been more proud!

Also, shout out to the rest of my family. They got up at the butt crack of dawn to watch us run. Is that love or what? My mom did say next year her and my dad are spending the night downtown because she's tried of getting up at 4:30am. Fair enough.

As you can tell, it was a great day! I ran a great race, and that would make anyone feel on top of the world. To help celebrate my hard work I called on my favorite morning folks. Blogger World, feast your eyes on my post run meal...

I never said it was a healthy one.

Friday

Blogger World, we finally made it to Friday! This weekend is Half Marathon Weekend. Sunday I'm running my 5th half marathon. Some of you may not know I'm running a half marathon on Sunday. You're welcome. This year you did not have to endear a thousand post about running. In honor of my half marathon weekend here are the fun things I'll be doing this weekend.....

Movies
The weekend of the half marathon I watch lots of movies. I tell people I'm storing up my energy. I think it's an excuse to be lazy for one whole day! This is one I will be watching. I don't care if it sucks, I haven't seen it and that's what I've picked out to watch.
Pasta
I usually eat pasta Friday night. Doesn't this picture look good?
Water
I will drink so much water this weekend. Saturday, I will be sitting on my couch watching movies and drinking Route 44 waters. I'm serious. I go to Sonic and order a Route 44 water. Every year the folks at Sonic think I've fallen off my rocker.
Bathroom
All the water I will be drinking, will result in 1,257 trips to the bathroom. Is this too much information for a blog? Oh, we're practically family!
Pancakes
This has become my night before run meal. I have about three pancakes with peanut butter! Mmmmm


Sunday....is the race. If you think about me this weekend, say a little pray for me. As always, my goal is to finish the race without ending up in the medical tent.

I have nothing to wear

This morning was rough for me. It started out a normal morning. I woke up on time, and I didn't fall in the shower. I've actually never fallen in the shower, but I guess anything is possible at 5:35am.

No, this morning I couldn't find anything to wear. Guys, right now I know you are rolling your eyes at me. However, this is common for every female. It really is, and you know it's common. But in case you are new to the female world, let me enlighten you on how a female's mind works, in this scenario.

1. We try on an outfit
2. Examine the result
3. Feel that we look fat
4. Say a bad word
5. Throw the outfit on the floor/bed/closet
6. Repeat this process five times

This morning I experienced steps 1-6. FYI...this is not a good way to start your morning.

More Gray?

This morning I discovered more gray hair on my normal size head. I'm not happy. I don't want to pay for coloring my hair.
If you are the soul that is causing me to go gray, could you please step forward? Thank you.

Happy Wednesday!

We are almost to Friday. We are on the downward slope. We can do it Blogger World, the weekend is in sight! Do you feel motivated? Good.

Folks, I really don't have much to say. The only exciting thing that's happened today is I've devoured half of bag of these....
But OK Chick, aren't you trying to win a weight loss competition.

Why yes, I am trying to win a weight loss competition. Today, I failed miserable. But, I'm hungry. I need real food. I need meat! And since I don't have slab of meat lying around my office, the M&Ms will have to do. M&Ms are close enough to meat. What? They are. Oh bite me!

In other worthless news, Glee is coming back to the airwaves tonight. Do you guys watch Glee? It's good. I highly recommend the show. I have two Glee songs on my iPod.
We interrupt this worthless post: I just received word that there are hot fresh cookies in another department.

Worthlessness to be continued.

Over and out.....
