Hey! How are you doing? I’m happy to be back in SoCal – or at least I was for a second until I went out to run this morning and it was FREEZING! No, like there was actual frost on the grass in some areas. And there was frost on this bridge. I say burn it! (Get it, burn bridges? No. Never mind.)
Seriously though that is cold stuff or this girl who just came back from FL. I made it a short 4 miles just to get my blood pumping. Yeah, oddly my blood only pumps if I run. I should probably go the doctor.
Post run breakfast (while my bread toasted), plus tons of tea, coffee and cashews.
According to the experts at Instagram, today is actually National Tea Day! I drink tea every single day. A lot of tea! I love it. Right now my favorite is Celestial Seasoning’s Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride. Stock up because it’s seasonal!!
In an effort to buy Vegas’ love I gave him some turkey. I think it worked as he didn’t bark on the rug today. Boom.
To show his appreciation he helped me with the laundry. Or at least helped get his fur all over it so I look like a mess in public at all times.
I think he missed me a lot though because he’s been hanging around (looking for more turkey).
In other not cat related news, I’m working with Align in the upcoming future and am pretty excited to try their supplements. I bought a probiotic from the store a while back but thought eating yogurt was enough to cover my ‘pro-b’ needs. Well, I’ve been doing a lot of research on it AND listened to a few lectures on gut health courtesy of my health coaching studies and nope it’s not! I’ll let you know more about this soon!
Now, I need your help with this mysterious dilemma in my life.
I am missed 4 forks. I had a set of silverware that had a set of 4. There were 4 big forks and spoons and 4 small ones. The small forks were my favorite and I only used those. I had noticed they were harder to find when the dishes were dirty or something. Then, I realized I was down to 1 small fork.
Now I am down to ZERO. I don’t have any of the original small forks anymore! Luckily (?) I have this cheap fork I bought from the Wizzle a while back, but what the heck happened to the 4 other forks?
I really need Susan Simpson to get on this with some research…
PS. I want extra credit for not calling this post “What the Fork!?!
Meesh says
The forks! That is hilarious. I thought I was the only one who would use just the little forks.
Kelli says
That is so weird about the forks!! Maybe Vegas hid them…….ya never know. I have lost several teaspoon measurers. I think they may have gone down my dishwasher drain or something. And we constantly lose socks (where do they GO??). I have a whole drawer of lonely socks at home just waiting for their mate to come back. Love your posts- you always make me laugh. 😉
runeatrepeat says
Thanks! I bet Vegas is just messing with me 🙂
Flower says
Fork if I know!
Shawna says
missing forks?! i’ve heard of socks (obvi, who doesn’t have that happen every time they do laundry), but forks is a new one by me. i’m assuming you checked the bottom of your dishwasher already, soooo….maybe they got put in the wrong drawers? or you took them with you to eat on the go, so they’re in the car/ in a bag?
Julianna says
Check in your bags, mine are almost always in my backpack when they’re missing!
Erin @ Erin's Inside Job says
I only eat with the small forks too. My husband has the big ones and the small ones are all mine. mwahaha. I don’t have yours, but you’re welcome to some of mine if you want 🙂
Taylor says
Good for you for running in the cold… I just can’t do it! I have the same problem with forks… I just don’t understand where they could possibly go?
julie says
They are probably with my small spoons that have all disappeared 🙁
Flower says
…The little dog laughed to see such sport
and the fork ran away with the spoon. 😉
runeatrepeat says
Ha! I should have seen that coming, but totally didn’t
Sally @ sweat out the small stuff says
I lose knives a lot because I leave them in cake boxes and each day I cut myself a slice but eventually I feel guilty and toss the cake forgetting about the darn knife. Lesson learned. I should just use my fingers 🙂
Sue says
Check with Vegas…he probably has them to eat his turkey 😛
Adjusted Reality says
When I was little, my parents said Clabofoots (?) stole all the extra socks out of the dryer (yes, my family is weird). I’m sure there’s some similar demon that steals forks out of your drawer. 🙂
runeatrepeat says
Ha! Love it. My Grams used to say you were dressed like an “Angogy” when you were a mess. I have no idea why?!
Linda @ The Fitty says
Celestial seasonings is so on my wishlist this year! love gingerbread cookie tea.
Shay @ Whine Less, Breathe More says
Since they are small, is it possible they fell out of the silverware basket into the bottom of your dishwasher?
Nicole (Cuckoolemon) says
I ALSO love that sugar cookie tea!
ida says
serial season 3! sarah koenig will find the forks.
runeatrepeat says
Ha!!!!!!!!! Susan Simpson needs to research this.
Mary says
I have a feeling Vegas is stealing your forks. He looks sneaky. 😉
Tracey says
I have the same problem with forks. I have a family of four, so I buy sets of 8 or 12. We are down to 4 forks. What am I supposed to do when my son’s girlfriend comes over or one of the boys has a friend over? At least for Christmas I can bring out my special silverware so we don’t have to use plastic. I don’t get it. There must be a fork fairy, just like there is a sock fairy who eats socks in the laundry.
Tara says
I 100% guarantee your forks have been accidentally thrown out. We have a slow leak of forks and spoons at our home as well. I have caught my kids occasionally throwing s fork out with their takeout or paper platonic whatever. So yeah. It’s not just you.
Sarah @ RunningChickago.com says
Totally!! This has happened to us before too (unfortunately)
