SkinnyRunner Shoots Me Down

My Life

FacebookTweetPin
11 Aug

Hello! How are you doing? I’m doing great because I just spent the most romantic evening with a special someone…

#KissFail

I think she’s just saying that because I still refuse to hug my friends. Except large guy friends because they’re the only ones that know how to actually hug and not make me feel like a giant.

dont hug me

I drowned my sorrows of rejection in some baked Quest bars and PB then called it a night.

love pb

This morning I went on a very short run just to shake it out and spend some time stretching when my muscles were nice and warm. But, I could tell that was not going to be enough so I decided to hit up yoga too.

Pre-yoga lunch was a salad with a side of bug. Check out my instagram for a video of the bug just crawling along like there ain’t nothing wrong.

I made myself a big cup of a Spark to drink on the way to yoga for a boost! Unfortunately I SPILLED IT ALL OVER. Ugh.

I refused to let it stop me from going to yoga though – that would have only made it worse.

So I threw my sweaty sweat towel down and went with Spark everywhere (including on my yoga pants).

Ommmmmm.

Yoga makes me feel so good. I prefer Level 1 classes that focus on stretching and breathing.

When I got back Vegas showed me how he does yoga.

Question: Hug or Kiss or Fist Bump or Nod from across the room?

    I am usually not a hugger. Except with my dad’s side of the family and with my boyfriend. They are the only good huggers I know. Everyone else….I avoid hugging. Sorry friends!!!

    I’m not much of a hugger either. I’m good with just a wave.

    I find a little smack on the ads does the trick…

    Oh I will hug you and give you a kiss on the cheek! Yup. Watch out. I’m that girl.

    I usually let the other person initiate whether it’s a hug or a cheek kiss or a wave or a fist bump or whatever. Unless we’re making out, I’m cool with it. 🙂 Also, baked quest bars (just a few mins in the toaster oven) are the best.

    I’m a head bob from across the room, you may get a smile if I actually like ya.
    It takes a lot for me to feel comfortable enough for contact other than kids and my spouse.

    I guess a bug just means extra protein, right? 😀

    I can’t even with the bugs in the salad – it makes me never want to eat again! Lol!

    I’m a hugger but only with those I know well. I don’t like to do the hug goodbye when there are big crowds like at a family function.

    A ha ha ha ha ha!!! Love it!!! I’m a hugger, but it is super awkward when the person you hug doesn’t hug you back. I’ve become more of a “kiss on the cheek” lady, since there are so many Hispanics in my area and that’s how they greet and say goodbye. I did see your bug lunch on Instagram. Sooo gross!!!! Today for lunch, I’m having steak salad. I can’t wait to eat!! Have a great day and I hope you have a better run.
