How I spent my Summer Vacation.

In my youth, I never took the time to appreciate the awesomeness that is Summer Vacation.   If I could go back in time, I would watch a little more trash TV (I gave up on Jerry and Maury too soon), run around in the sun and maybe not stuff my face with so much food, so that I could actually for once wear a two-piece.   In the past, any time off used to drive me nuts.  Last Summer, I couldn’t wait to get back to work and in fact worked through most of my vacation. WTF, right?  I’ve come to realize that I have been afraid of reaching my full, time-off potential. That is till this Summer vacation.  

My Summer had no idea what it had coming.  I used her and I used her well, I exploited every minute of every day. Not an ounce of Summer Vacay was left untouched when I was done.  My vacation went so well, that I could not sleep last night.  And as a result and am work functioning on only an hour of sleep.  Here for you my friends, a recap of the last to fabulous weeks.

Vacation was off to a rocky start. Everything may have fallen apart if not for my sweet husband. After a rough couple of days of IneedtoloseweightorIwillnevergetpregnant, he implements two a days combined with a couple of days in the country. You will haul ass down a road when their are giant grasshoppers everywhere!

I finally got my butt in gear and attempted to finish my first crocheted scarf. Notice that I said “attempted.” Paprika the cats ensures this task is derailed every chance she gets.

Had a lot of mini dates with my husband. What you can’t see is the ginormous egg salad sandwich directly in front of this plant.

After a very late evening workout, an order of nachos seemed like a good idea. Four hours later, the bubbling in my stomach, informed me that it was an incredibly stupid idea.

  

Megan Fox and I have the exact same kind of thumb. Apparently, we both have what are referred to as “clubbed thumbs.” I am no longer alone in my plight of trying to find an acrylic nail that fits my thumbs. Megan Fox, I got your back yo!

Leslie Knope (Parks and Recreation) have the same journal. Yes, I stopped and played the scene over and over again in the episode “Camping” (Season 3, episode 8). This means Leslie Knope and I both shop at Barnes & Noble! What are the chances that a fictional character and I would shop at the same place?!?

And in an effort to be a better friend- spent some time with some amazing women.

Before the sun comes up

I slacked off this week.  I did the one thing, I have told myself not to do- brought work home.  Almost every night this week, I have worked in the evening at home and then went to sleep super late.  So we missed all our workouts this week.  For those of you that have read the blog about the threats- this means that I can not work out with an ipod next week.  Sucks right?  Well- yes, that’s what I get for slacking off.

Wrong! I refuse to spend the next week without music during my workout.  Do you have any idea how painful that can be?  This means only one thing- we will be doing two a days today and working out extra tomorrow and Sunday.  Loophole?  Maybe?  But technically- no!

P.S. Are people aware that those Harlem Shake videos are just people wiggling around- they are not actually doing the “Harlem Shake?” I blame Michael Bay for this lack of authenticity.
