Run Eat Repeat

The Biggest Crisis in America Today. Let’s Talk About It.

My Life

FacebookTweetPin
29 Oct

Hello! How’s it going? Are you ready for the weekend? Halloween? Reading a random blog?? Because it’s all here for the taking. Today we’re going to address the hottest political topic in America. Get ready to share your opinions below. Any guesses on the hot topic??

I am still all turned around in life with my new running schedule so I’m off to run long this morning. Wish me luck!

Note: I took that box to the Good Will so it’s not just hanging out by my table any more. I’m so responsible.

 

I have been craving cookies and cake lately. I don’t know if it’s because I’m:

A.) always craving sugar

B.) in the mood for a treat

C.) not eating enough carbs

D.) just want a f-ing cookie

Anyway. I was thisclose to buying a whole cake mix to make tonight. Just for me.  I wanted a fresh treat and the smell of magic coming from my oven. But then I realized I would at least half the cake immediately because I have no self control and am just living alone like some cake obsessed addict waiting for my next fix.

‘Wow. She is really getting into this story.’ – you

In my one act of self control for the year I made a single batch of oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Boom.

Single Batch of Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients: 1 packet maple sugar oatmeal, 2 Tb egg whites or 1 egg white, 1/2 Tb butter (or PB softened), dash sugar, baking soda, salt, chocolate chips (a lot). Mix well. Place in preheated over at 350 degrees until done, about 9 minutes.  (All I had was oatmeal, not flour. I’m going to try this again with flour.)

And now to address the biggest question facing Americans today…

we need to build a wall

(Yeah, we need to build a wall around Target and never let me in.)

Why must we spend $100 every single time we go to Target?!

I think it’s a conspiracy by the NRA or PETA or maybe they’re in cahoots! But every single freaking time I go to Target I spend one hundred dollars.

I went tonight to get Vegas a scratcher. I tried to buy him a fancy one, but he didn’t like it. And he keeps begging to go outside so he can scratch on the tree. I try to keep that to a minimum so I knew I needed to return the fancy one and get him a cardboard scratcher. So yeah, it’s basically a $100 cardboard scratcher. wtf.

He loves it though.

why does everything cost 100 target (450x800) my idea of a great time that was weird

Check him out earlier in the day, such a lazy guy.

Speaking of lazy, I think this is my favorite picture of Clyde. I love him.

And Bonnie.

i love the puppies (600x800)

Question: Does Target play this trick on you too?!

When was the last time you baked something?

Do you have friends that you can share treats with? (If not you can share with me.)

THIS IS YOUR YEAR.

      I’m convinced Target has magical powers that keep us trapped in there until we spent far too much money. I feel ya on this one.

      The closet Target is in a super busy location so I avoid it like the plague. LOL. I would be spending $100 and probably 2 hours so it’s been a long time since I’ve gone. I have been craving zucchini bread (weird huh) and I bought the zucchini now I just need to bake.

      Same. I spent 20 minutes in a bakery studying my options in a sad attempt to respond to my cake/pie/cookie desires. I ended walking out with nothing after looking at the ingredients and calorie counts. Why do I torture myself? I went home and had papaya. Better choice, but today calories be damned, I’m gunning for a baked good!!! HA HA

      This actually just happened to me today. I went there for one extra thing for my costume and ended up spending $60! Wtf, Target?! Why are you so full of winning?

      Baked up some chocolate chip oatmeal cookies (with rolos in the middle) for a friend that just had surgery on her hip! She’s my running club pal and will be out of commission for the next 4 months. Cookies make the pain go away.

      I don’t go to Target too often. There’s not one that’s close enough to home. The one that’s closest to home is next to Costco, which I always go to and never make it to Target after. My weakness is Kohl’s. I love Kohl’s and always spend way too much money there. Last thing I baked was banana bread. Oh, for the love of banana bread!

      Target is the dollar store. Just its the 100 dollar store. I am always a C note in the hole after a trip there.

      I bake nothing because even though I live with my husband/life roommate he is so disciplined and won’t eat his body weight in treats with me. And I too would destroy a batch of cookies all on my own.

      I am so confused by your running outfit selfie. Do you have doll furniture? Why are your table and chairs so small?
