I want to be an Uber driver for a week just to see if I meet cool new people and hear weird stories. (If I pick you up please make up a super odd story about where you’re going. Thanks.)
I want a squatty pottie. Randomly, I was contacted by a rep for the company years ago to do a review for the blog but I turned it down because I didn’t want to talk about the details and effectiveness of a stool meant to help you go #2. Aaaand now I’m talking about it anyway, but I’ll leave it at that.
I don’t like the air dryer things for your hands in public restrooms. I know it’s better for the environment but my hands feel cleaner when I wipe them with a rough piece of paper after washing.
I probably cussed in front of my lil brother a few times this week (he’s 15, not 5) but when he said ‘shlt’ the other day I was crystal clear that was not allowed (read as: I shut it down so hard you’d have thought he was talking about running away to sell drugs).
I dropped a glob of spaghetti sauce on my chest while eating today and swiped it up with a finger and ate it. Someone tell me that’s normal.
Sometimes I loiter around people in the grocery store if they look confused. Then, I’ll chime in with my random thoughts about the products they’re looking at in case they needed some help…
“Monican, you don’t work at the store and no one asked for your help. Keep it moving.”– something someone should tell me.
Speaking of helping people at the grocery store… I once applied for a job at Trader Joe’s but wasn’t available to work on Saturdays because it’s my long run day (I didn’t say that to them hello). A manager said that was when they needed people and passed on my application. Priorities.
The other day I was chewing gum and got sick of it but didn’t have any paper to wrap it in so I just set it down on the paper calendar that was next to my laptop. Later Vegas came to lay by me and LAID ON THE GUM! I didn’t realize until I saw the rubbery green chunk stuck to his side when he got up. HA!!!!
Luckily it came off super easy and he didn’t even realize what was happening.
I always thought I was the weird one for giving my $0.02 when people are looking at something I have bought or tried at the store. Especially Costco. “Oh, those fish burgers are the best. You must try them. Put a little avocado on them and Viola!” OR “That protein powder made me sick, you might want to try the 100% Gold Standard one instead, it’s easier to digest.” OR “Did you ever try those before? How were they? I’ve been wondering about them myself.”
We went out to eat shortly after our second child was born. I was holder her while eating ice cream and dripped some on her head then bent over and licked it off. 🙂
I like helping people at stores, too…
New here: nice blog!
Cool to see a runner blogger with a normal tempo and a normal body (vs. skinny, speedy, happy, happy…)
Confession: I feel like a stalker reading some of your past entries…
I hate going to the bathroom without my squatty potty! I even got the fancy wood one!
So… you don’t want a stool for your stool? 🙂
Confession: I cleaned out my bathroom cabinet and tossed some stuff that expired in 2007.
This blog is really interesting.
Confession: I sometimes eat the pieces of food that fall out of my 13mo daughter’s mouth rather than try to find yet another napkin to clean it up. I ain’t got time for all that. I figure she owes me anyway since she ate all my food for a full 10 months straight.
I always eat the globs that fall on my clothes. What else are you gonna do? I’m the same way with my little brother, he’s 13 and the second he starts misbehaving, I set that boy straight. He needs some guidance in his life.
I’ve been curious about the squatty potty myself but I haven’t been willing to spend the money on a stool… might have to reconsider… 🙂
Get a squatty potty, it’s legit. My confession is that I know all about the product. Assume what you may.

My favorite part of waking up every morning is ridding my eyes of “sleepy turds” or “sleepers” — those gross little crusties that the sandman brings…
I LOVE my squatty potty! Get one.
