So since the evil knee instances of the past year I have had to lay off the running, running is pretty hard on your knees. So there is of course the amazing yoga but a gal needs some good cardio with out destroying her knees. So as I went to the GYM with My Mr. he went to a class and I went to the machines (the stair stepper to be exact, which is pretty insane.) As we ended the hour workout My Mr. returned from his class dripping in sweat and red. I thought holy cow, I’m damp and red but I’m not dripping, give me some of that! So we started attending the cycling classes regularly which is what my Amazing knee doc recommended to take the pressure off my knee. The first few times were killer, and let me tell you my heiny was raw, I know that is gross but I mean really, my hands burned from the pressure & sweat. So after the first few classes My Mr. purchased me some of the CRAZY shorts that make you feel like you are wearing a diaper, but feel ohhh so good when my heiny is resting on that thin metal seat. And some sweet blue (and yes I can admit cute) gloves. Now I’m not the kind of person that thinks if you have all the equipment that all of a sudden you are amazing, oh no. But these little helpers have helped me to push myself and now I am loving this cycling, especially now that I am in uncomfortable pain, I’m in amazing workout pain. So tonight my legs are exhausted and I can barely stand but you know what, my knee is doing great and I’m getting the most amazing cardio. So try cycling and you’ll be surprised how good it feels, give it 6 classes before you quit, until that point you’ll just have to try not to die.
Since the dawn of My Mr.’s schooling we have loved this couch. It was prominently displayed in his office, and often became billowy resting place for me when I would go to visit. It reminded me of the designer furniture from my interior design course, with its tufting, modern sleek design and come on doesn’t that color just scream 70’s. But today was the fatefully day when the department decided to say audios to the retro goodness. So My Mr, knowing my love for it, brought it home for me! Now it’s in my retro’ish office and it looks great, I love it, it’s like an early birthday present! Oh I love you retro-goodness!
Maybe sometime I’ll get it reupholstered, any good upholstery places you guys know about?
So after the rather depressing weather heading into the weekend my spirits were a little dampened by the snow. My thoughts have been drifting to spring the season that I love being connected to my birth. So I couldn’t help but make an evening trip to the nursery. Very empty, being only one of three customers in the store, my mother being the other. I looked through the still fairly empty aisles of the store and wandering into the only open green house with the warmth of spring and the newly sprouting seeds, I would have stayed in there forever, if my allergies would allow! As I looked though the aisle I stumbled upon on of the most perfect watering can. With the snout as the spout (fantastic rhyming I tell you!) and the bright pink color just make this amazing little spring delight! I might have taken this little piggy home, had My Mr thought I was crazy, and finishing up the last remaining days of my quarter life crisis. So Thank You piggy for your spring time inspiration and pink radiation. (I tell you these rhymes really just flow out of me!)
So I decided to change it up a bit and instead of giving you and amazing thought I figured i would give you a hilarious funny! This one sent me into a laughing-fit, literally I cried I thought it was so funny. I typically don’t laugh out loud at comics up this one I just got me. So start you Friday, or end depending on when you read this with my Friday Funny!
So there is this big cupcake trend going on. You know where they charge like 3 dollars a cupcake. Yes, it’s madness, and the cupcakes are teeny tiny. Well I can across the MAN”S CUPCAKE store here in Provo. The Coco Bean Cupcake Café is the man’s cupcake destination. Take your normal cupcake and biggie size it and that is the Man-Cake size they serve. So I could see paying the 2 dollars for said cupcake, though it’s still hard for me to fork out that kind of dough on a cupcake. But enough of my furgalista’ness. I treated my self to a red velvet goodness and got an Ultimate BrownieMy Mr, which they put in it’s own cute separate box with a fork and napkin, ready for him to devour! (Yes, I won him over, and it wasn’t valentines!)
So along with their cupcakes they offer a delicious assortment of warm, cold and Italian drinks to enjoy with your Man-Cake! To check out their blog click here! for
Do you remember our good friends from the band of OK GO? Honestly I kind of forgot about them, putting them under the one-hit-wonder-isms of the music industry. They are the ones who brought us the infamous treadmill music video, remember that? (if not check that one out here!) Well, the band is at it again, with a truly INSANE video that My Mr. would be proud of, or really any engineer would have to look at and think, “HOLY CRAP.” Yes it is brilliant and crazy entertaining. As for the song, I really can’t remember the song. Enjoy!
As I was perusing the isle of a local store I stumbleduponthisawe-inspiringsight. No, I’m not a huge fan of PEEPS, but the colors from this display just brightened my day (what a fantastic rhyme!). It’s the sights like these that make me just love this time of year! After I saw this I got started on my peep inspired décor for Easter, coming soon! If you a fan of the PEEPS or not you have to admit that just looking at this makes you happy, I mean colors can do that you know! So don’t fight your festivecolorfulcravings of spring, delve in and hopefully it will get here sooner!
I shared this post last year, but I thought I would share it again to get you in the spring spirit with how peeps are made! Check it out!
Well they are over. The final medal count ended with the US on top with the most medals, though we didn’t have the most golds, Canada took home the most gold medals (14), there dumping money into this and into there training from there owning the podium program was at least achieved with that. I thought it was a pretty good games, with a few hiccups and some sad and happy news occurring throughout. But I was entertained and drove My Mr crazy with my constant checking and spoiling of results before he got to watch them! It was fantastic, I’m a little sad they are over. Did you guys watch the closing ceremony? I felt like the opening was so classy, but the closing was like a red neck version, sorry to say. But I just felt they dropped the ball on that one. But none the less the Olympics are just a fun event and a rarity, I hope you guys enjoyed them as much as I did! See them in Russia in 4 years!
I know this may sound stupid but I just hate it when this happens. I got some Hershey kisses with almonds, so yummy, I love chocolate covered almond anything. So over the past week I have whittled away at the bag of nut-a-lishiousness. One time as I unwrapped the little nugget of goodness and popped it in my mouth I took the fateful chomp. The chomp went straight through, so I chomped again, and nothing, repeating this process I came to the realization that there was no almond nuttiness to enjoy. Now normally this would be fine, I mean if I was expecting just an average kiss it would be no big deal but it was the fact that I was expecting it that got my goat a bit. I mean you go in expecting it and it doesn’t happen, and there is a little disappointment, even with something as small as a Hershey kiss. So obviously I had to resolve this situation . . and had another one that left me oh so satisfied! But as now I have only a small amount of almond goodness to enjoy I have to tell you out of that bag I bit into the same situation 6 other times, which I believe in a bag that size is just uncalled for, I mean I expected almonds not plain Hershey kisses. This revelation has left me a little worried about Hershey’s quality control on there almond kisses line. I mean should there really be that many in one bag and now I worry that I will be deceived by the remaining amount. I have to ask myself is it worth the disappointment? Can I really rely on the remaining kisses to fulfill the Hershey kiss promise? I will have to decide this, but right now I have to admit I’m a little weary of the kisses. I mean come on don’t you hate that? Maybe I should contact Hershey about this problem, I mean I would want to know if I was putting out a deceiving product. Ok, now that I have clearly gone over board with this, maybe I’ll write them a letter, a phone call might not make it all the way through to the important people. The Hershey Kiss Quest! Let’s be honest I don’t have the time to do it but gosh I wish I did!
