You know what I hate? (not for reals hate, but maybe seriously dislike) I have never won a giveaway from any other blog! Ok that sounds selfish. But dude, I have no luck with these things. Therefore, I will not do one until I win one myself. The end.

In other news, my parents are still here and we have been drinking like fish, it has been hotter than hell, and I’m pretty sure the scale would break if I even looked at it now. I have to remind myself: this is my vacation. I need to learn how to relax and take a few days off!

Even though I just wolfed some buttery scones my mom made this AM, I am forcing myself to go to the gym now before I have to schlep my cowboy boots back on and drink $7 beers. It’s a tough life. sidebar: I have been subtlety fitting in exercises where I can (kysh: remember on vacation we just take longer strides?!) I mean: I squat over the toilet seat at the stampede – and when you drink lots of beers, that’s a LONG time to hold a squat; bicep curls with the margarita mix; oblique twists while passing sh*t from the grill to the plate; oh, I could just go on and on.

Apparently this message is an ode-to-kysha ( ok her name is really Kristin but I call her kysha. STILL. From college. And she’s my best friend ever that lives in Seattle and is preg with my little flower girl! 🙂 ) because I just remembered that they now sell Shock Top downtown and I am so happy happy happy to drink them later. Ok, so, workout NOW, drink later. Got it. Oh boy do I hope I sweat a lot at the gym today. I need it.

By the way, does anyone else hate it when you just about remove a layer of skin off the backs of your legs when you stand up in the heat?!
