Random Thursday

Happy Thursday!  T minus 1 day until I head out for St Louis and the hair show!!!  So SO excited!  I always have an amazingly fun time down there, can’t wait!  Hopefully I’ll be able to snap some pics of some of the crazy hair and styles we see down there!  The show is the perfect people watching place, I’m in heaven when I go down there!  Plus there’s loud, booming music, fun runway shows, awesome deals on product and fun fun FUN with my friends!  Gah, I’m dying, I can’t wait to get down there!!!  We leave from ‘Wash’ about 9:00 tomorrow morning, not soon enough!!!

Some random thoughts for your Thursday:

• It snowed in Iowa last night, luckily not here, but it still sucks and I can’t figure out what ticked Mother Nature off so bad.  Oh yea, “global warming”. It was near 80 here yesterday afternoon, then about 6:30 last night we could feel the temp start to drop RAPIDLY.  10 degrees in the first hour, brrr!  Today it’s gray, cold and damp. Boo! 
• Speaking of weather, St Louis isn’t going to be much better than what we have here, which means I’ve had to rethink all of my outfits and the clothes I bought just for the trip aren’t going to be worn.  Again, boo!
• I hate the word ‘mole’, it sounds so disgusting.  I prefer ‘freckle’.  And I have a ‘freckle’ on my nose I need to have removed.  As a kid it was cute, now it’s grown (ew!) and is puffed up and once in a while I can see it if I’m looking across my nose.  Hope I don’t have a nasty scar!
• I’m obsessed with avocados!  I’ve been eating them on burgers, chicken sandwiches and in my Quinoa Salad.  I decided to input my food from yesterday into MFP and found out that there are a LOT of calories in an avocado!!!  I’m so ticked off!  I thought it was healthy, now I find out it’s sabotaging my calorie counting!  I thought I was doing something healthy!  Say it with me, “BOOOOO!!!!”
• The Joni Arias trial is the loooooonnnnggggest trial EVER!  Seriously, how damn long does it take?  She’s a liar, she’s admitted she did it, so why are they wasting all of those jurors time?  GUILTY!
• Stilettos are OUT, mid-heels are IN!
• Have you heard about the Brenda Heist story? This woman disappeared years ago, her husband was accused of murder, tho never charged, and a death certificate was issued for her.  Well, she’s sick, poor and I guess tired of being homeless, so she came forward this week.  Say what?!?  You can read the story here. I just can’t imagine what her kids and ex-husband are now going through, let alone what they went through after she disappeared.  Selfish.  And holy moly, did her looks change!
• It’s 9:15 and I’m already hungry.  Guess my breakfast didn’t stick with me, did it?
• Do any of you runners get sore ribs, almost feels like a side ache, when you run?  Last night I had 2 ten minute runs (W6D2) and my sides ached so bad towards the end, but it wasn’t really a side ache from eating too close to being active, it was more like my ribs.  So I wonder if its from the pounding up and down on the treadmill that’s causing it.  Please tell me someone out there knows what I’m talking about!  And know how to fix it.

Just a reminder, I won’t be posting tomorrow or Monday, but I’ll be back Tuesday with a recap of my awesome weekend!  Woot woot!! 

Have a great weekend!
