I’ve been thinking about an excuse to eat cookie dough for a while now. It all started when I “accidentally” watched Paula’s Best Dishes the other day. (source) I love that lady, but her reckless use of butter scares me a little. Not to eat so much as to cook with it. I don’t mind it if I can’t see…

Marathon in 10 Weeks–Seriously.
I signed up for the OC Half Marathon way back in August (when I got a good discount email). Recently, I’ve been going back and forth about switching to the Full. I really wanted to find a flat like my chest and fast course for my next full. I do not think that the OC Marathon is that. But, it’s…

Confession Thursday–Yogurt Breath
Confession #1 : I made out with this guy for the second time in 2011 today. Yeah, I had to take another Red Cross CPR class today because I didn’t take the one with AED last time. Fail. Major time and financial fail. Confession #2: I am considering an end to blogging about lunch since it’s pretty much always ridic…

This Is Embarrassing…
This is embarrassing to admit, but I’m headed to another CPR class today because I took the wrong one a month ago! Yeah, apparently I need CPR and AED and I took CPR and First Aid. Tragic. I’m extra mad at myself about this because I went to the wrong class last month the day after being super sick and…

Wordless Wednesday–Sink Explosion
Okay, maybe it’s not wordless, maybe it’s less-than-wordy Wednesday… My sink exploded. I’m back in love with greek yogurt (and cereal and chia seeds) Oh, and I’m also hitting the hard stuff again. It’s not my proudest moment. Sourdough and Diet DP tie for the highlight of this meal… Ben is at a hockey game (totally random) and I am…

Fun Food Finds!!!
I had a massage today! It was part of signing up for my gym membership, cool huh. I told the therapist about my IT band history and she totally worked that area. It hurt. It feels better now though My “everything and the kitchen sink” salads are getting ridiculous now. I threw my egg salad wrap right on top…

The Last Time
I had my last easy run for a long time today. I wasn’t feeling it and let myself walk the last mile back. This is the last time because I start training for my next race Friday! I cannot let myself off easy again for another 10 weeks! AHHH!!! For breakfast I had my last bowl of oat bran for…

Ask a Messy Monican
I had to go to a running group last night, but also had Ask a Monican questions to answer. So, this is me – post-run, no shower. And apparently I don’t own a hair brush… Sorry. Questions addressed: 1. Why I don’t feel the need to brush my hair, or really – practice regular hygiene at all. 2. How long…

Cheetos Are The New Crouton
The Cheetos on a salad thing was originally done out of convenience. The other day Ben was eating a sandwich for lunch and I was having a massive salad. But, I wanted some Cheetos too (of course!)! I grabbed a big handful and, not wanting to dirty another plate, threw them on top of my salad. And so begins my…
