Project Memorial Day
My 4 day weekend consisted of taking this:
To this:
*first go with a jigsaw shocker*
This:
To this:
and then building and installing this:
We were crazy people.
Until Memorial Monday…. which was deemed “kick back, grill, and enjoy all the hard work” day.
We made grilled bacon and green chile wrapped jumbo shrimp

Wearing…. to the pool…. right now.

indomitable
This just happened.
Ambush of co-workers in office: “We want to know how you’re losing weight.”
Me: “Well, hi randomness? ummm… It’s not fancy or complicated. I’m watching what I eat, counting calories, nutrients up/carbs low, and exercising 5-6 days a week. It’s mostly just input/output”
Them: *visibly disappointed* “oh, ok. ...

Question for the masses
I have not felt right since Saturday’s 5k.
Nursing a continual headache, breathing issues, and in general lethargy.
I’ve never in my life had such a severe allergic reaction…. so my Monday morning Tumblr experts question….
Is this normal?
Worst 5k ever
Seriously, not even a slight exaggeration…
3.6 miles (yeah, they admittedly measured wrong) up hill, on a trail of fresh cut dewy grass, through a field of waist high ragweed.
Allergy emergency. Throat 1/2 closed off, wheezing uncontrollably, eyes and nose disgustingly running.
The most miserable 40 minutes of my life. BUT I DID IT!!!!!! 30 minutes later and I...

Blargh. I guess it’s better than the gain I showed yesterday, but for the ass busting I’m enduring it’s not exactly unicorns and fairy dust.

I woke up with a miserable headache.

The Update: why I gots to be so busy?
Lately, life’s been a whirlwind of things to do and unfortunately, my little blog has taken a hit.
Just to stay accountable and updated…. here’s the skinny.
I was not as good as I could have been this past weekend.
Friday, a friend of mine and her husband asked Chris and I to dinner. We went to Chuy’s I ordered a mexi-cobb salad sans cheese, had no chips, and 1 light...
Bestest
Today was a really great day.
Slept till 11
Smoked salmon breakfast
6 mile run with both of my girls.
Bubble bath.
Relaxing couch snuggle session and The Help.
Grilled tilapia and asparagus dinner
And now back to the couch cuz I’m lazy and I want to.
Heres hoping yours was just as fantastic and relaxing.
The Road's Mumsy Blessing
May the road lead you to a spotlessly clean house with no effort from yourself.
May the wind today knock the smart-ass right out of your kids.
May the sun shine warm upon your face whilst someone else grills your dinner and keeps your fabulous ass outta the kitchen,
and rains fall soft upon your gardens so that’s one less chore you have to do on Monday.
And until we meet again,...

May Flowers
April has been hectic. With juggling the end of the fiscal year at work, overtime, my boss breathing down my neck, fraudulent credit card charges, a job change decision for Chris, three races, and kid stuff, I’ve been swamped.
Today is April 30 and the beautiful month of May is already looking up.
done with work project by the end of the day
no more overtime
all fraudulent charges...
TMI Sunday Night
Because I need to vent my frustration
Corset/garters/thigh high lingerie is just embarrassing and awkward and ridiculously hard to put on. I’m pretty sure id need a fucking team of people to make this shit look right….
And THEN I’d actually have to muster up the courage to strut out wearing it!!! “Victoria, you clearly forgot to ship the bottle of vodka it would...

Dead Serious Chris Compliments:
“I love your hair… It’s big. Like a lion’s mane.”
“your eyes look awesome like tarantulas”

He may not be the smoothest guy in the world, but I’d take funny over suave any day of the week.

I have spent the last 3 days DESPERATELY looking for someone to run the Urban Dare Adventure Race with me tomorrow.
I have asked:
every friend I have
every family member within a 100 mile radius
every co-worker in three buildings
every acquaintance
every semi-acquaintance
every long lost friend on Facebook
and nothing.
No one.
Not one taker.
At 8am this morning, I had a...

Clearly Not My Week
Just checked my bank account for the first time in a week because my dumbass ex tried to cancel a check he lost and accidentally cancelled my child support check
and surprise!
$894.36 in fraudulent charges.
Now I get to deal with a 10 day hassle to get it fixed/credited back while the asshole who stole my debit card # gets to enjoy their shopping spree.
Boo.

Disappointment:
This coming Saturday, Miranda and I are entered to run
The Urban Dare Adventure Race in Lexington.
Me for the last two weeks:
This morning’s text from Miranda: “I’m caught in Texas for work and I’m not going to be able to make it home for the race Saturday. I’m soooo sorry girl. “

Make it Stop
A lady here at work is selling Scentsy and graciously came by my office today to give me a sample lotion.
Coconut Lemongrass.
It smelled crazy good, so naturally I rubbed it all over myself.
Bad Bad idea.
Now, I’m craving Thai food like a mutha fucker and have absolutely no way to obtain any.
Anyone wanna bring me some Tom Yum?
Please?
No?
Oh dear lord help me.

Fight the Feeling
As I filled up my water bottle in the break room this morning, my fellow coworker’s were loading their plates with this….

I wholeheartedly considered diggin’ in with the best of them. In that moment I really REALLY wanted that breakfast.
But then I thought about…
