  • I took my first yoga class this morning and it kicked my butt.  Then I got to work and we have new shelving in that I had to move around.  I love my job and never get the "this is not in my job description" feeling - but I came reallllly close when I walked in and saw how much stuff needed to be carried around.

  • Running.  I've made progress in the C25K, but I'm so unmotivated.  I'm about half done.  I want to run a 5K, but I loathe working out.

    I love it while I'm doing it and after, but getting to that point effing sucks.  I have every excuse in book, and none of them are good.

  • there are a few guys here at work that DO NOT wash their hands when they come out of the bathroom (which is right by my desk).   It irritates me because those are the ones that wanna come get stuff out of my candy dish.

    On a side note--the girls bathroom has air freshener that smells like bubble gum.  I love it and use it no matter what I'm doing in there because I like it.  Well apparently the nozzle got blocked and I just shot it all over the ceiling and the top of the door.  It looks very questionable in there now.

  • I don't know how many of you are my friends on FB and saw this already, but I almost stepped on snake IN MY HOUSE the other night on the way to the bathroom. I shined my iphone flashlight on it and it fucking wriggled toward me. 

    I RAN AWAY AS FAST AS I COULD and my husband came to my rescue. The snake was dispatched quickly enough - but while the snake is now deceased, it continues to torture me. The experience has truly traumatized me. Now I can't live in my house without picturing a snake coming toward me wherever I walk. I held my pee in all night last night because I was too scared to walk to the bathroom. I can't sleep without worrying that a snake is going to slither into our bed. 

    The snake has stolen my sanity and I want it back.

  • I have been checking under the toilet rim every time I go to pee, just in case. 

    My worst fear (okay, almost worst fear) is that one day I will go to the bathroom and some creepy crawly thing will climb out of the toilet and bite my ass... or worse. You know.

    Yes.  UGH BLAH BLAH.


    @elistar- I saw that--I would have literally lost my shiz all over if I saw one. I feel your pain!

  • Spiders and snakes are what I get when I try to sneak away from work and nest?! Not cool guys. I always check the toilet just in case there is something creeping around in there because you never know! That picture is freaking terrifying. @EliStar‌ I am freaked out for you. I saw a snake on my front porch and almost cried.

    Apparently, a movie was recently filmed where my inlaws live called Cobra Gator. I'm sorry, but the last thing I want to see when living near water is a combo snake/alligator creature.

    @elistar That is how I feel about mice. Why can't these things stay in the wild where they belong?

    @SnShne322 I love to run and love c25k but some days (like today) my motivation is nil. Part of it is a little anxiety. My next run is 20mins. I can do 15 but I haven't run 20 mins straight in at least 5 years. I am not ready!
  • Those pictures that shall not be reposted scared the shit out of me. I literally screamed out loud. My coworkers didn't even bat an eye, they just asked me where the spider was. Apparently this is not new behavior on my part.

    As for my goat, it seems like every effing thing wants a piece of it.  Every.effing.thing.

  • The fact that B&N posts one price on their website but when you try to purchase the book in store it costs full sticker.  Case in point: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/on-course-james-m-lang/1101465074?ean=9780674047419 .  Book online has a $12,77 price (no B&N card required) but it's $19.99 in store.  Shenanigans!  I got it on kindle for $9.99.  THIS is why they will fail as a brick and mortar business.

    Also, old people who drive 5-10 miles an hour on a street that is posted 45mph should have their keys taken away from them. Not 5-10 below, but actually between 5 and 10 miles per hour!

  • Due to the pictures I will check the toilet multiple times before I sit down now....
