Guys, I really thought I had a post idea for today. I mean, I finally got organized and have post ideas for the next couple of WEEKS. But do you know what the problem is?! The prompt just didn’t SPEAK to me when it came time to actually write on the topic. So obviously, I did what any good blogger does, I procrastinated as long as possible and then decided to just write whatever comes to my mind. I was hoping this post would become brilliant and cohesive (since my mind is obviously filled with such deep thoughts) but instead, you get this:
My thoughts right at this second:
- Do you remember long distance phone calls?! Are those still a thing? Thank goodness I don’t have to worry about what area code I’m calling and being charged more for that. Although, one time I did call a guy from Canada a LOT not realizing that they were international calls, even though him and his cell phone were in the States. My dad called me (super angry) demanding hundreds of dollars for my phone bill (this was right after college and I was still on the family plan), but I very calmly explained that the whole misunderstanding was Canada’s fault because they didn’t add any digits to their numbers so Canadian numbers look like phone numbers in the States. I mean, obviously I wasn’t going to pay for Canada’s oversight. Needless to say, my dad dropped the argument, but it was probably more out of frustration than an acceptance of my argument.
- Homemade popcorn is so underrated. The Husband and I should really start making it on our stovetop.
- Da Bears are 1-0 and I’m already excited for next Sunday! (Sorry, Bengals fans! To be fair, the Bengals are my 2nd favorite team in the NFL, so I was semi-sorry to see them lose.)
- I really wish Judge Judy and Ellen could just follow me around ALWAYS. I mean, Judge Judy could yell at people for me and Ellen could crack me up and what else would I really need?! (OK, maybe a personal chef – that would be excellent, too).
- My whole body is starting to get sore from the CrossFit workout I did at 9am today. I kicked booty at the gym, if I do say so myself (which I do). I’m excited that I’m getting noticably stronger and that my (assisted) pull-ups are getting much better! If you have the chance to try out a CrossFit gym – JUST DO IT.
- Speaking of which, I wear the same freakin’ outfit every single day to the gym. Does anyone know of any great (and cheap) sites/stores to get workout gear? You would think I would have an infinite amount of clothes from my days as a runner, but really, I just don’t have the goods.
- It’s 95 degrees in Chicago. In September. I can’t decide if I love this or hate this. All I know is that 95 degrees is far too hot for me to sit on my porch and read, so it’s pretty much the equivalent of a 25 degree day in my mind.
- I think my blog has been getting so serious lately because I haven’t been drinking enough wine this week. I promise to fix that tomorrow (although I do love writing serious posts).
- I’m so glad there’s a ‘cheat’ for Candy Crush to ensure that I don’t have to wait for more lives. I would lose my mind if I actually had to wait the 30 minutes! Or I would become less addicted… I’m not sure which.
- I just heard of a wife who pushed her husband off a cliff at Glacier National Park – so I’m looking better and better by the second. (I make sure the Husband hears these stories, too. Seriously, I am such an awesome wife by comparison!)
- I watched Obama’s speech about Syria and while I didn’t find it to be anything to enlightening, I appreciate the position we’re in right now and the actions we are (and are not) taking at this time.
- Spanish podcasts, where have you been all of my life?! Love, love love. Buenos Aires, I am ready for you! Peoples, if you want to learn Spanish – listen to podcasts!
- If you Google ‘hump day’ you will see a ton of booties and boobs but not as many camels as you may expect. (So maybe don’t do this at work).
YOUR TURN! What’s on your mind lately?!
* Sidenote: I love your comments on my posts, but sadly, I do not know which blogs all of you write for! I would love to follow you back, so if you leave a comment, please include your URL so I can check you out!
Cheers to hump day randomness!
