I was in a store yesterday and spotted a purse I liked. In my best effort to be a responsible adult, I told my boyfriend Jason I’d come back in a few weeks and buy it after I saved for it. Then, I went to the bathroom. In the time I was in the bathroom, Jason ran back to the store, bought the purse and was waiting for me outside the bathroom with it all smilely like.

He referred to it as me winning the “potty lottery.”

Dear Ladies at the gym:

The gym’s hairdryer is there for light use – you know to make your hair less damp so you can look somewhat professional and less sloppy before leaving the gym. It is not there for you to use it for 30 mins while you straighten and style your hair. If your usual morning routine is similar to going to the salon bring your own damn hair dryer.

Thanks in advance

Kristen

FML moments from this weekend:

1.) I picked up my niece for the first time and she let out the biggest OMG WHAT ARE YOU, YOU SCARE ME belly cry EVA.

2.) I was self conscious about wearing a semi-backless top b/c of my BACNE and while no oen mentioned it, but my grandma did make a point to tell me I shouldn’t feel right wearing it with a back as pale as mine.

I officially declare myself an ogre.

Two years ago this week will mark the anniversary of my first sleep test. At the time I had been battling a year long bout with insomnia that had left me completely and utterly drained. Honestly, I damn near lost my mind.

The sleep test entailed sleeping overnight at a facility that was outfitted with all kinds of weird whacky scientific devices to monitor my sleep. Altogether, I was hooked up to some 40 electrodes Honesty it wasn’t as bad as many of you may theorize it is and additionally, I actually slept really well.

I am now about five weeks into my recovery training (from the heel fracture I incurred in May) and finally feel like I have hurdled right over the dreaded “injured list”; relatively speaking I think I am about 80-85% back to where I was prior to my stress fracture.

Getting re acclimated to running in this heat has been no cake walk but I’ve been managing fairly well. I no longer feel the edema in my heel and the only flair up I have had has actually been my left upper thigh/groin area; and I can’t even complain because stopping to massage that part of my body during my runs (at stop lights) seems to be going over very well with the dudes who are stopped the stop light (Heyyyyyyy hey hey!)

I am very much looking forward to getting back to 100% and getting even stronger in the process! (And kicking a little ass as well!)

I installed WordPress eons ago and it was a total jury rigged install that I was rather disappointed with. Ultimately, it caused a myriad of issues and end result was having to drop every damn table in the database and do a fresh install.

Thus, I am starting over. It’s just as well as the site, even in it’s dire state of being half-assed, was gathering dust. I’m taking the loss as incentive to actually do something with this site and update on the regular, like the old days. Oh them salad days…..
