I woke up to snow this morning. Yesterday it hit 50 degrees. I went for a run with my sleeves rolled up and soaked in the UV rays. It was perfect. But now it’s snowing again. Has it been Groundhog’s Day yet? (I told you I have no holiday awareness anymore.) I hope that little guy brings us Spring in a hurry. Anyways, how about some fun facts for the weekend?!
1. I think life in general should run on a school calendar. No one would work on holidays and summer break would be celebrated by young and old alike. (Yes, I realize that if this happened our economy would fall to pieces, but hey. A girl can dream.)
2. If Pretzel M&M’s and Flipz got in a fight, Flipz would win, every time. Pretzel M&M’s are good, don’t get me wrong. You just can’t beat a whole pretzel smothered in delicious chocolate.
3. Donkey Kong Country is quite possibly the best old school game. Ever. I’m talking Super Nintendo, remotes that only have four buttons, and games that you have to blow the dust out of before you put it into the game console. Now THAT is some good quality fun.
4. Having a hang nail should be a legitimate excuse to miss half a day of school. Or work. Those bad boys are PAINFUL.
5. Rain Shower heads. Not sure what else to say about them. Just, if you get the chance to use one, do it. It’s like taking a shower, in the rain. Amazing.
6. While we’re on the topic of showers, how great is face wash that tingles? I’m not convinced it actually makes any difference in how clean your face will be, but it sure makes me feel like mine is squeaky clean.
7. Ladies, take my advice, don’t purchase shoes with gems on them. No matter how cute they are. The gems will fall off. Even when you think it’s a only fluke and go out and buy the exact same pair because you loved them so much, a gem will fall off of the new pair, too. (I’m not bitter…)
8. Investigation Discovery claims to be America’s fastest growing station, and I believe it. If you like solving crime and catching the bad guy (raise your hand if you played detective as a little kid), you will get hooked on this channel. Except for the show Disappeared. Don’t watch that. Because the case isn’t solved so they never tell you what happened. Drives me NUTS.
9. Why do potholes form so quickly, and then take forever to get filled?
10. If you’re on a diet and you’ve never heard of Skinny Cow, let me introduce you. You’re about to become best friends.
I’ll be honest, I gained a little unwanted weight during the winter. And when I’m trying to kick it into gear and shed some pounds, dessert is my downfall. Every. Time.
Enter Skinny Cow. Particularly the Ice Cream Sandwiches. Those little babies have become a staple in my house. The perfect indulgence for my sweet tooth without ruining all the hard work I (hopefully) did at the gym that day. (I actually like the ones with vanilla ice cream better, but when you get the combo pack and eat all the vanilla ones first, all you’re left with is chocolate. Still not a bad choice.)
Now I just need Flipz to become fat free. Then I could sit around during my summer break and enjoy fat free chocolate covered pretzels. THAT would be the life. Happy weekend : )
Did you keep the first pair of shoes so you could paste the gems from the old shoes onto the new shoes?
Yeah that definitely would have been the smart thing to do! Unfortunately, I only thought of it AFTER the shoes were in the trash and long gone… oops!
