Really?! Man, this week went fast. No complaints by any means, just an observation 
Probably helped I was a slackey who did not work on Monday! I could most certainly get used to 4 day work weeks every week. In fact, I think that might be the best idea ever!! But since I do not control the work week concept, I will probably have to settle for 5 days weeks for the time being… but anyways, since it’s Friday, it means its time for me to list off a bunch of random crap! I know you are excited, Or not?
1) I am breaking up with Starbucks. I have to just cold turkey quit. I get lured over there, week after week and then get a drink, can’t sleep, etc., etc. For the past few months, I have been getting decaf but that still spins me up. Like really bad… either Sbux’s “decaf” is not so de or the barista’s at the sbux near my work are easily confused between full and de? I have $3.20 left on my sbux card that I will save for “emergencies” but for now, I’ve just gotta quit…
Good bye my love. It was good while it lasted. It’s not you, it’s me. Promise.
2) Acupuncture is going really, really well. My back pain is like 5% of what it was a few months ago and my anxiety seems to be about 15% of my original feelings. I am now also taking a serotonin supplement so that ought to make me spit out rainbows and butterflies here shortly… or maybe just not fire and flying monkeys…
3) Tomorrow is my last long run in training for my upcoming marathon. How did this happen already? I swear I just signed up for this thing… I don’t really plan on setting any new land speed records tomorrow but hopefully I’ll at least finish in one piece?! Maybe the happy pills will kick in right about mile 15 and carry me through!
4) Speaking of coffee, (we were, weren’t we?) Dunkin Donuts is the best. I love it.
I REALLY want a glazed old fashioned to go with my Dunkin’s in the mornings… darn it!
5) Can computer routers go bad? I have had mine for 5ish years and I have to reset it almost every single day… it’s really annoying.
6) What’s not annoying you ask? Coming home to a freshly mowed lawn that you did not have to worry about!! Best money I will ever spend! (Yes, I am THAT lazy about yard work…) Although if I had this, I would be half tempted to “mowcycle” my own lawn…
7) Sister and I are still totally obsessed with Lost. It terrifies me to the point I don’t want to leave the room/fly over an ocean again yet also makes me kind of wish I lived on a deserted island all at the same time. Like Hurley said in one episode “We get to sleep in every morning so that’s a plus!”
Not to mention you would have a terribly attractive doctor there to take care of you
8) Last weekend on our road trip, sister and I played the license plate game. We spotted 40/50 states. I have still been looking for the last 10… Alaska, Hawaii, Montana, Wyoming, West Virginia, New Hampshire, Delaware, New Mexico, Rhode Island and Nevada. Come on people from these states. You NEED to get out more.
9) I have so many things I want to blog about related to running but I have been totally lacking the time to type anything out! Maybe this weekend I will be able to get a little ahead of things so I can document my taper time adequately!
10) Remember last week how I mentioned Pfunky Griddle make you own pancakes? Oh my goodness. If you are every going to Nashville, please do yourself the ultimate favor and EAT HERE EVERYDAY FOR BREAKFAST!! These pancakes are the best pancakes I have ever had in all my life. And they were gluten free! (they also have regular cakes too though!) I have been dreaming about these cakes for a week and I want to move to Nashville just so I can eat here again and again and again. I am now on a quest to recreate these pancakes at home… and build a table that has a griddle in it…
Drooling… I want these NOW!
11) Clearly I am a fan of coffee and pancakes. Together that would be an even better thing. Maybe, just maybe, I will go make myself some pancakes now! Friday breakfast time! And obviously I am out of stuff to randomly type so I will just quit now before it gets more pathetic…
Have a good weekend!
1. Don’t break up with starbucks!!!! Maybe you just have to go with one shot decaf lattes or something? You’re too affected by caffeine…
2. I can’t wait for those rainbows and butterflies to get here… did you forget to take your seratonin today?
3. Whoop whoop! You’ll make 20 miles your bitch… AGAIN!
4. Yummm… but I do think that’s the weird smell I’ve been smelling. Too weird.
5. That thing will probably go up in smoke one of these days. We probably should unplug it when we’re not home…
6. Wuie would like to have a mowcycle – it would be great exercise. It’s probably a little cheaper than a lawn service and all your neighbors will be jealous of your cool ride!
7. Can’t wait to watch more episodes tonight!
8. 4/5th of the states is pretty good if you ask me… miss perfectionist.
9. It’ll be nice having a chillaxing weekend after being gone for two in a row!
10. Mmmm – we do have the pancake mix for a very special day!!!
11. No comment…
1) I need to or I will never sleep again!
2) Nope!
3) I did it!
4) How can you say that smells “weird”!?
5) Yup… maybe that’s what you smelled burning yesterday?
6) He’d be so good at it! There was a commercial on the Bones episode that had one on it!!!
7) SCARY!
8) +Quebec!
9) This weekend is going too fast already!
10) Our pannies last night were pretty darn good!
11)
One of the houses that I run by has that mowcycle. Pretty rad. When is your marathon again? I though it was soon so I was surprised that you still had another long run.I might need to nix the coffee and take serotonin too. Sleep and a bad attitude are getting me big time these days!
That’s funny that someone actually has one of those near you!! And yes, it’s the 20th so I should technically be tapering but I messed up my past few weekend runs so I decided I would feel more confident with one more 20 miler than I would if I ended with a 5 week taper… Hopefully two weeks is enough but I guess I will see in 15 days! Any my serotonin is not working well today
Maybe I need to kick up the dosage a little or something! Happy Friday!
Be careful doing a 20 miler two weeks before. Everyone is different, but it is not always recommended.
So who suggested the serotonin supplement?? Also – one of the guys from LOST is going to be on my favorite show – Burn Notice! The one who played Ethan Rom….guess he’ll be a really bad guy on “my” show!!
The acupuncturist! And what is this Burn Notice show? I’ve never seen advertisements for it…
