Good morning, lovelies!

 

I’m in a good mood this morning, which rules. I am often in good moods, but sometimes they take me by surprise… like this morning. :) So, that’s great. haha.

 

Today I wanted to take a second and respond to some interesting questions I’ve had on formspring. 

 

Do you have any recurring dreams? If so, what do you think it says about your personality? How about your unconscious hopes, fears, and desires?

I do not currently have any recurring dreams. Honestly I don’t dream all that often. I probably have a dream that I remember wisps of once every 2 to 3 weeks.

I did, however, have a recurring dream almost every night beginning the day after I lost my grandpa in 2002 for almost 3 months. That recurring dream changed my heart, and was the inspiration for the symbol that I have tattooed on my left wrist

 

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live?

I like where I live. I love our house, I love our little Dallas suburb. But I can also see myself living somewhere else.

We’ve talked about living in the southwest, either rocky mountainy or red rocky.
I’d of course love to live on/near a beach, but since the world might end and all of california might fall into the ocean, we’ll probably stay further inland. haha.

I do like the city and can imagine living there, but not for a long time… and I also like very rural settings, and can see living in a place with no people around for miles. I guess I just like living… no matter the location. As long as I’m with the one I love.
:)

 

 

If your pet were arranging a dinner party, who do you think they would invite and what would they serve?

If Tinni and Dala were hosting a dinner party, I think it would be a great event!!
I think Tinni is a fierce Queen of the most outlandish and glamorous type. Gay, yes, I think my cat is straight up gay. (and of course I support his right to be whoever he chooses to be, and to identify as a homeowsexual if he chooses. Yes. I just typed hoMEOWsexual) bwahahaaa.

*le sigh*

Actually, Tinni might be in drag for the big event. Who knows?

Sweet Dala is kinda butch, and no nonsense… she’d be the one actually holding it all together. Tinni would be crying over his salmon pate’, flailing his arms and screaming about how, "its all going to be simply RUINED, and everyone is going to HATE it, and I look totally FAT in this BALLGOWN! I knew I shouldn’t have picked red with this WRETCHED orange hair of mine. WAIILLLLLLL", so, Dala would have to make sure things went off without a hitch.
Which they would. :)

12/365: don't think tinni is having a good day

101/365: Dala thinks it is just too damn bright.

They’d serve salmon and a coq au vin, with vanilla ice cream for desert. Running water would be available for their guests, of course.

I imagine they’d invite Daron and I… cause, you know, they love us. (we’d decline, cause we know how cray cray Tinni is when he’s event planning) I think they’d also invite my mom’s new puppies Dooley and Bella, cause they’re cute.

The pope and Jesus would also be in attendance.

 

 

**If you have a question for me, you can use the form on my blog page, or to to my formspring and ask there. It is a lot of fun. :)

 

I’ll leave you with a VLOG wherein I discuss my experience 2 weeks into New Rules of Lifting for Women! Also a shout out to RUBY of Completely Delicious Life, and a response to her question from my previous post! **hi Ruby!!**

Well, I was certainly back on the healthy food wagon today, after a weekend fraught with a few crappy-for-me-meals. It is great to know that a few bad meals won’t throw my plans off terribly. It means that I’ve really gained a healthy understanding food. Eating a crap meal doesn’t mean I’m bad, or stupid, or weak willed, or a failure. It just means that I chose to eat a cupcake. The End. It is nice to not be tortured by my choices. :D

Today, I had a multi-grain cheerios breakfast… not exciting, but pretty good.
At around 10, I had some baby carrots and almonds… Its CRAZY how much I’m starting to love almonds!
Am snack 2/17/09
For lunch, I tried something new, I had a flat out light wrap*, with some left over smoked turkey breast, some hummus, a few crumbles of feta and a CRAP LOAD of kale.
Lunch 2/17/09
*I freaking HATED that stupid flat out wrap!!! It was nasty! I don’t know why… it should be relatively tortilla-y right? But it seemed to be almost doughy in the middle, and very flour-y on the outside, and had VERY little taste… even whole grain taste is delish… this had NONE. Anyone have any insight on this?
Anyway, I knew I had run training tonight, so, I had a pretty high cal afternoon snack of strawberries, crackers, and delish Peanut Butter & Co PB (Bee’s Knees -honey flavored! :) ) Those strawberries were among the best I’ve EVER had! I’m so glad I got 2 packages.
Pm snack 2/17/09
For dinner, since my baby wasn’t feeling so hot, I whipped up some chicken voila! (hehe) which was totally adequate… it isn’t exciting, but that’s what those kinds of meals are for!
Tonight, I topped it all off with a cozy treat… I had some hot chocolate! YUM!!
After dinner treat 2/17/09

On the workout front, I had a pretty big fail today. I wanted to do a great run, especially coming off my Sunday fffk run, but I got out there, and everything went wrong. I was in a great mood, but I couldn’t breathe properly, my legs felt weird, my knees were tight, my ankles felt wrong… it was just WRONG. I kept making deals with myself and breaking them, which is very unlike me when I run. I’d say, “run until the end of this song”… but I just couldn’t do it. It made me feel horrible! Finally, I made a final push, and told myself that I could call it a day, but only if I jogged the rest of the way home, so, I did. (probably about .75 miles) I only logged about 1.75 ish miles running today… It was disappointing, but again, its nice to be able to give myself a break, and know that sometimes you can push through, but sometimes, you can only do what you can do.

I’ll leave you with some cuteness! Dala loooooooooooves Harry Potter, almost as much as me! :D
Dala loves harry
