Run Eat Repeat

Good News and Bad News and Bad Pirate Joke.

My Life

FacebookTweetPin
9 Sep

Hello! How’s it going?

Over here it’s going… I got some horrible news yesterday. But the good news is – it’s soooo bad I haven’t been hungry! That never happens.

I don’t even want to chew gum!! <- That’s a habit I have been wanting to break for a long time.

thats great

Even though it’s only two days out from the Ventura Marathon I needed to run this morning so I did a short one with my head movies. It was like therapy.

I also took a walk with my friend Katie and that was really nice. Kinda like therapy too Smile

Finally when I got home I had a smoothie.

And I’ve been trying to keep myself busy.

First, I got my nails done. That’s always nice. Plus, my old paint job was comical. I’m pretty sure the nail lady trying to hold in her laugh and passing it off as a cough. I’m on to your tricks Linda!

And my selfie game is all right. So there’s that. That hat is pretty bad news too.

Hey, at least I wasn’t ‘twerking’ aka cardiovascular conditioning:

And I’ve also been keeping myself busy learning new things.

Like, science.

its science

 

Now I’m just going to turn into a pirate and call it a day.

What’s a Pirate’s Favorite Letter?

You think it’s “Arrrr” but it’s really the sea.

Question: When was the last time you took a selfie?

      Lol. I told that same pirate joke to my mother in law last year and when I said, “What’s a pirates favorite letter” she goes, “I dunno, the K?” #fail

      And I literally LOL’d with the Ice Cubes Float. Now the ladies at work think I’m even more crazy!

      I’m sorry to hear that you have bad news..and I’m loving the hats, especially the selfie hat, and your selfies are cute, but…well, I hope your news turns around. It sounded like you got hit with something bad.

      I’ve never taken a selfie. True story.
      But look at all these people lovin’ on The Monican! Always at least a little bit of a silver lining on even the darkest of clouds. We’re all sending you our best karma.

      I’m the worst selfie taker ever! I only take them with my daughter because she is pretty good at it. Oddly, she doesn’t take a lot or post a lot of them, it’s just a gift! 😛

      I’m holding a prayer for you and hoping that bad news turns around pronto! Take care of yourself, chica…

      I took a selfie yesterday, as usual, it sucked. I’m looking for a selfie-help class…bwahahaha.

      Hope the bad news wasn’t too bad and your day is better now. If it helps to take your mind off of your bad news, here is mine: I’m in mourning. I had to bury my treadmill this weekend 🙁 The motor has been saved though. The hubs is turning it into a windmill…A WINDMILL! Such a weirdo.

      Implying that you’re too upset to eat…and that not eating is a good thing…is absolutely horrifying. Please don’t perpetuate the starvation theme.

      That pirate jokes makes me laugh every time I hear it, because I am essentially 5 years old. Here’s another lame joke for you in case you need a giggle to distract you (or groan and eye-roll):
      What did the zero say to the eight?
      Nice belt!

      I took a selfie this morning with my 106 pounds of wussy dog as he tried to hide behind me on the bench at the vet’s office.

      I’m sorry to hear that you got horrible news! I hope that whatever happened you have some solid support as you sail the treacherous seas. Good vibrations and libations to you!

      Why do seagulls fly over the sea? Because if they flew over the bay, they’d be bagels!

      Rrrrration my rum, that pun was atrocious, but who doesn’t love a bagel?

      My last selfie was probably a couple of days ago.

      A selfie just happened 30 minutes ago with my dog. Because I can’t document “lap dog” enough. =)

      I’m sorry to hear you got some horrible news….and that you’re appetite has been affected. I’ve gone through my fair share of tragedy. I can vividly remember barely being able to eat a scrambled egg. I lived on cherry ices for months because it was all I could muster.

      Hang in there

      Hey girl, I read your blog everyday and I think our outlooks on life (and our no shame emphasis on food and drinking) are pretty perfectly aligned, so I’m especially sad to hear you got some bad news because I know how I would handle it and that is not fun. Sending you positive thoughts. Here’s to things turning up Monican soon!
