Ten Things Tuesday

I have ten things to tell you. Just so happens it’s Tuesday so we’re take that catchy post title and roll with it.

ONE

 Pretty cute y’all.

 

I almost cried during the proposal. Really that was just all kinds of adorable. And I like Catherine even more after watching her reaction to the proposal, because in 47 years when I actually do get married, I’m pretty sure I’ll look like I’m about to vomit too. I respect that.

Also they rode away on an elephant. Not fair.

You can't have the guy and the elephant. Pick one! Selfish....

 These grand TV gestures are starting to cause problems in my average relationship.

 

Just gimme a damn elephant Taylor. I don’t ask for much.

 

TWO

 

Wanna know what will make you hate Mondays a little less?…

NUTELLA FILLED CRESCENT ROLL!!!!

 

YEAH. Just let that sink in for a minute.

 

I didn’t know I liked Nutella. Turns out, I do. 

 

THREE

 

Last night, (after all the Nutella) I went to my first BodyPump class. I’ve been saying I was going to do it for a while now, but have been secretly terrified because I’ve been known to struggle with lifting even a can of green beans. And let’s be honest, there’s nothing fun about heavy stuff. But I did it. And it was hard. And the 70 year old woman beside me kicked my ass.

Y’all I swear that’s totally her.

 

Anyways, it was good. My goal is to go to at least one BodyPump class a week, and do my best to incorporate a little bit of strength training of my own besides just running all the time and pretending I’m in shape. So that hopefully in ten years I’m not just one giant piece of flappy loose skin running down the street. Goals people, GOALS.

FOUR

 

We got granite countertopssssss!

Fancy up in here.

 

FIVE

 

I’m obsessed with the following two songs.

I LOVE duets. It makes karaoke car time with Taylor much simpler when we have assigned roles.

SIX

 

Did y'all see the story on Yahoo about the Hooters wanna-be ball girl who picked up a fair ball and tried to chunk it into the stands? Please go watch this video. You will laugh. Hard. 

I get to judge her because a few years ago that so could've been me (not the Hooters part, just the moron part). I once stood directly on home plate while at bat during a college intramural softball game. Yeah...that happened.

SEVEN

 

HOLY $@%*! LOOK HOW CLOSE MY VACATION IS!

 

 85 days. But who’s counting? Me. I’m counting.

 

EIGHT

 

I’m demolishing my chia seeds. Like a CHAMP. I’m eating them by the handful, chunking them in my oatmeal, my yogurt (I’m calling it chi-yo, funny right?) and because I’m sweet like that I’m going to share with you the contents of my fave new chia infused smoothie. Don’t get too excited. I made it up. And it’s basically just my regular smoothie recipe with some seeds thrown in there.

Directions are as follows: throw everything in your little magic bullet until it looks good. Then drink. I know, Jamba juice is knocking at my door as I type. They want a piece of this smoothie genius-ness.  

 

NINE

 

The Lone Star 10k is less than two weeks away. After the half I wanted to make sure I got back into the groove of running before setting any goals, but I think my goal for this race will be to finish in 53 minutes, which will mean about an 8:30 pace. We’ll see how that goes. My half marathon pace of 8:40, and my recent splits have me thinking hopefully it’s something I can pull off. We’ll see!

TEN

 

Ummmmm St Patrick’s Day is this weekend y’all! I’m gonna pinch the crap out of so many people. Other than the pinching I have no plans. Obviously I’m gonna wear my green shirt and then I’m thinking about enjoying some delicious pesto tortellini and maybe throwing some green food coloring in some white wine and calling it a night. Anyone who wants to join that clearly rockin’ party is more than welcome.

LOVE&HUGS,

Nat
