Vacation’s Over. O.V.E.R.

Please allow for this post to be a sporadic* as possible. My mind= jell-o. Thanks.

My parents just left this morning.

They flew from NY to vegas to stay with friends, then drove to Montana to stay with the same friends (how nice would it be to have homes in both vegas and MT?!), then drove here to stay with me and Tyler. Now they are driving back to Montana, then back to vegas, then flying back home. I am tired just thinking of how exhausting that trip must be. While they were here, we:

  • Went to the rodeo at the Calgary Stampede for my Birthday!!!

 

  • Drank a LOT. (10 out of the 11 days to be exact)

 

  • Went to the Grandstand show at the Stampede

 

  • Went to Lake Louise and Banff

 

  • Ate a LOT. (more on that later)

 

  • Shopped
  • Went to 2 of Tyler’s football games

 

  • Played cards

Of course, I cried hysterically when they left. But then I got to cleaning the house and I got over it. Besides, I am flying to NY on AUGUST 6TH for 18 days!!!

About the eating thing. And the drinking thing. I drank like a fish while they were here. A total, sloppy fish. And I supposed I felt like I ate a lot (anything is filling when your belly’s full of booze). And I tried to work out. But I considered their time here as vacation. I got 5 -what i would consider- GOOD workouts. And while at the Stampede and Lake Louise, we were walking around ALL DAY. And sweating. But there was a hot dog with BBQ sauce and bacon consumed. As well as poutine. And, well, the margaritas.

AND GUESS WHAT?!!!

I.did.not.gain.a.single.pound.

I am so happy. You really have no idea.  Now please excuse me while I get myself together for a Grade A sweat session. Boy, do I need this.

*I learned this word from Clueless. 

Cher: OK, it will get easier, I promise. Just as long as we do it everyday. Not just sporadically.

Tai: How do you know if we’re doing it sporadically?

Cher: That’s another thing, Tai. We’ve got to work on your accent and vocabulary. See, sporadic means once in a while. Try and use it in a sentence today.

Top of the mornin’ to ya, folks!

It is finally the end of the week (let’s all pause to do a collective ‘phewwww’).

I have no workout for you today (but if you want one, check out my Workouts page!!!) partly because my body is dead. More specifically, my right hamstring. I don’t think I have ever pulled a hammy in my life until today. Cray-balls. But, I still want to get in some sort of activity since I plan on throwing back a few brewskies with T-t-t-tyler tonight.

Instead of a workout post, or a recipe (which I gave you last night) I thought I would provide a few bits of entertainment.

1. This video art is hilarious. I don’t know if it was better with the musical accompaniment, but I was laughing my little ass off.

2. Make this pizza this weekend. If you are like Jessica (and me) then you should make two and force your man to indulge as well. Hey man, I made you food. And it has meat in it. The other ingredients should be minor details for you and therefore you should eat it. Otherwise, there is a comfy looking couch over there that may become your new bed.

3. Ok, now I feel guilty. No workout post, but a pizza post?! That’s cruel. So, while your pizza is baking away, try this workout. It’s quick and easy. And you’ll sweat. And then be tempted to eat another piece of pizza..

We interrupt this post for some SUPER SAD news:

I hand washed my 2 new pink Lululemon pieces last night. And, well…

Actually, the bleeding was the least of my worries. The worst part was that the sweat from my workouts while wearing them STAINED. As in, my Wunder Unders permanently display swass and my tank shows awful back and ab sweat. I was torn apart last night. So much money spent on 2 pieces and both are ruined. You bet your bippy I emailed AND tweeted to Lululemon about my problems.

Enough of my ranting..I have an episode of What Not to Wear to watch.

 

I whip my hair back and forth. and stuff.

Calgary. May 17, 2012: It is snowing. I’m not even going to tell you how I feel about that because I am pretty sure you already know.

But today is Thursday, and today I am going to tell you about things that I LIKE. (hint: not snow)

1. I like (maybe even love) this shampoo/conditioner from Organix

The conditioner doesn’t leave my hear super silky and smooth-feeling (you know, that feeling when you rinse it out and you’re all ‘ohh, I have the best hair ever!’ until you dry it, or style it, or go out in public) BUT it is still easy to brush through. And my favorite thing about it: MY HAIR SMELLS GOOD. Damn good. I don’t even have to wear perfume (let’s be honest, all I do is workout and walk the dog. I never put on perfume) Tyler comments on this stuff all the time. Which means: I flip my hair like this

whenever he’s near so he can get a whiff.

2. My dog. Yeah, I always love her- not just this week. But, she was modeling for me and I really want to share the pics. I did a side-by-side for your viewing pleasure.

3. Twitter.

I have had a twitter account for forever, but only used it for celebrity stalking purposes. Now, I pretty much use it for all my random thoughts and ideas. Since facebook switched me over to timeline, I am so over it. Get yourself on twitter and follow me @nutcaseinpoint! Do it. Now! Please?

4.Take a guess at this next one:

No, not chicken broth. Gatorade G2! (But only in fruit punch)

I’m not normally a sports drink type of person, but once the warm weather hits, and my workouts move outdoors, I crave this like you have no idea. Hence, the irrational text request to Tyler. The chicken broth was needed for dinner.

5. Last night’s dinner. Seriously. I never thought of cooking pasta in chicken broth/milk before. Genuis!

6. Similar to my everlasting love for Layla (See: #2), THIS GUY

On a side note: Mom, I wish you were here because I am really in a french braid-wearing mood.
