fun facts friday

November 18, 2011

1. In case you were wondering if you spotted my lie on 3 truths, 1 lie - and for those of you who were concerned about poor old Duffy, I have to tell you that that was the truth. He really did eat too many socks and basically killed himself – it happens. Remember when I freaked out because Charlie ate my black socks last winter? I told you the Duffy story then too. Crazy dogs!  I’ve gotten over it in the past 14 years, but I can’t say I’m fully recovered. This was the actual lie.

2. I joined fifth grade crochet club today. It’s pretty much even more amazing than it sounds in case you are wondering. One of my students taught me how to slipknot and start a chain. Aaaand one of my fifth grade parents was my instructor as well. I wish I could say I am a rock star, but I’m thinking it’s going to take a lot of time. A. Lot. Of. Time

3. I did this workout recommended by this lady today. My heart rate was skyrocketing the entire time. Holy heavy breathing.

4. Would you still be my friend if I told you I was super pumped to go see Breaking Dawn with my mom tonight? Because I am going. And I am pumped.

5. Speaking of dates with my mom, I’m so excited - I feel like we haven’t done anything just the two of us for a really long time. We’re going to get gluten free pizza before the movie. I’m going to be the happiest girl in the world tonight.

6. Real Pit Bulls wear argyle. Just sayin’.

7. My running buddy is basically being a life saver and meeting me at 7 tomorrow morning to do seven miles before our 5K at 9. I <3 her. Thanks, Katie!

8. I only have to work two days next week. Hallelujah!

9. Happy Friday!

Awww Charlie in that coat is ADORABLE! My dog hates it when I put a coat on him! :P

Enjoy your long run tomorrow and the rest of your weekend! <3

Charlie is too cute! My smooth collie used to wear sweaters all the time in the winter. He had this one flower sweater that was really crazy-cute! I miss him….. :-(
Ah, can’t say I am a Twilight fan, but I wish you a fun time with your mom! :-)

Haha I’m getting pumped! I’m liking this idea of taking a break between 7 miles and the last three. Take a breather. See you bright and early! Enjoy the movie, and the pizza!

have fun with your mom and crocheting. My grandma tried to teach me to crochet when I was a kid but I was too impatient to pay attention. What I wouldnt give now to know how to do it..

My grandma taught me to crochet a long time ago. I can do two basic stitches and I have only ever made potholders. Maybe I should break the yarn back out and give it another shot!

Reply

Kim November 19, 2011 at 3:54 pm

Wait…………you ran 7 miles BEFORE you did the 5K. I’m so impressed! …………….and humiliated at the same time.

Reply

cleaneatingchelsey November 19, 2011 at 6:35 pm

I did - and you did GREAT today! So proud of you!

Amanda @ Let Me Be Whats Underneath November 19, 2011 at 10:07 pm

I totally want to learn how to crochet!! And no judgement here-I just saw Breaking Dawn tonight with my sister!
