How I Accidently Threw My Cat Away…

My Life

FacebookTweetPin
11 Oct

Hello!!! How are you? Good luck to everyone running the Chicago Marathon and Long Beach Marathon today!!! I can’t wait to see the results and read the race reviews! I’ve always wanted to run Chicago too!

Unfortunately, I had to bail out of the Long Beach Marathon because today is MOVING DAY!!! Not for me but for my brother, SIL and favorite tiny person. I love her.

Truthfully I’m kinda hoping in the move they get confused and I ‘accidentally’ take her home with me.

My parents had to stop by and get my old mattress since I got that new Leesa one (last call on the discount – check it out!!). So, I had to clean so they didn’t think I live in squalor. Vegas investigated my trash pile he kinda blends in with it so I might have threw him away. That, or he’s sleeping in the closet. Who knows.

Since I found out I wasn’t going to be able to run the race I made sure to get in some good miles this morning. Except – it is soooooo HOT here. October who?

Anyone hiring a graphic designer? I think I have a future in it…

Between the temperatures and the fact that I stayed out way too late I was feeling less than spectacular out there. That’s what I get. Busted Monican.

Pre-run I loaded up with good hydration, O2 Gold, Spark and iced coffee.

Post run I stopped in Costco really quick for eggs and watermelon.

Then, I faced a huge moral dilemma in the form of these Pumpkin Almonds. These aren’t like my Pumpkin Spiced Almonds these are covered in white chocolate.

I probably stood there for 10 minutes contemplating the meaning of life, how many of these I would eat in one day, putting them in a bowl and eating them like cereal, if I should just give up and OD on candy…

If you don’t hear from me again assume I just poured the bag directly into my mouth and choked. Just know it’s how I would have wanted to go.

In other news… I am LOVING this dark nail polish I have. It’s called Visions of Love and is darker than what I normally get but I think this is my new thing. And I got some questions on the gloss, it’s Cate McNabb Belle Red.

Off to move with the family! See ya later Smile

Question: When was the last time you moved?

    I can vouch for the almonds. They are the best. You WILL eat the whole bag in 2 days though, it’s science. Also, amen on the heat. It is not right!

    Cute cat!
    We’ve lived in our house for 3 years, we lived in 2 other places before buying a house. I’ve moved 8 times in the last 9 years, ugh.

    I just moved this year from Fresno to San Diego and I never want to move again! Man that was an ordeal! Gives me nightmares just thinking about it.

    We haven’t moved in 14 years; since we built our house. But at my current job – where I’ve only been for 8 months – I’ve moved 5 times! It’s been really annoying. I’ve actually taken some stuff home…I hope to find a new job closer to where I live anyway. I hope THAT move is on the near horizon for me!

    We moved into our house 21 years ago. My husband said we will never move again. I dread the day…21 years of accumulated stuff. Uggh.
    Nice nail polish. I really need to get my nails done. Pumpkin Pie Almonds!?!? Seriously? I may have to go to Costco JUST for those. Yumm!

    The last time we moved was 2 years ago and we are putting off another move as long as possible. It’s too much work!

    15 years ago I bought my home. Been here ever since. Moving is so stressful. But I’m guessing another year or two and I will be moving

    WHY IS IT SO HOT. I am up in South Pasadena and DYING. I am so over the heat, i don’t want to run in it! It makes me wish I had a gym membership so I could go run on a treadmill.

    I last moved….. in December/January of last year. so Dec 2014/January 2015. Before that was September 2013. Before that was September 2012. Before that was June 2012.

    I move a lot. haahah
