Fun Facts Friday - Weekly Randomness

I have loved hearing the many things you guys are thankful for from yesterday's Thankful Thursday post. Sounds like many of us need that gentle reminder from time-to-time.

Also, sometimes we need to step out of routine for the sake of our sanity. Last night we ended up meeting my friend after work for a very non-routine weekday happy hour. The weather was pleasant enough to sit out on the patio as well. She was celebrating her last day of work - today she is begins her new venture as a self-employed court reporter.

I'll admit to some grumbling about going out after work. It was a long, tiring day. I was frustrated, fairly pissy, probably unpleasant to be around actually. But, in the end, I'm really glad we went. "C" definitely needed to celebrate this new change, and I needed to calm my butt down. And yes, sometimes beer might be necessary for that to happen. Just being honest.

And speaking of honest, my brain is simply fried. I can't seem to come up with anything incredibly funny or witty for Fun Facts Friday. So how about some absolutely random things from this week?
  • I almost used my deodorant on my inner thighs instead of my Bodyglide on Wednesday morning. Perhaps a sign I should have stayed in bed?
  • This morning I decided to wear my new teal jeans (really out of comfort zone) and got one tag, knew there had been another but couldn't find it. Sitting at my desk I feel this pinching/itchy sensation on my hamstring. Yep, found the tag down my pants. Again....more sleep needed?
  • Last night I was using the electric wok to make stir-fry and started smelling wires burning. Time to get kitchen rewired folks. Had to completely disassemble that outlet so the house didn't burn down. 
  • It's really harder than you might think to come up with double-digit mile routes. 
  • Sometimes I am so happy for my rest day that I could cry (that would be today). 
  • The furbabies are getting hair cuts today - and so am I. Hair Cut Friday anyone?
  • How can you be too sleepy to sleep? I have felt that way much of the week. 
  • My running partner is trying to convince me to run the Little Rock FULL with her in March. And a weird, strange, scary little (very very little) part of me considered it. But, I worry about injuries - have so many issues just doing a half. 
  • I worry that my enthusiasm for other people's accomplishments might seem contrived (right word?). But it's deeply sincere. I love seeing friends and family achieve their goals and dreams. It just makes me smile. Maybe I see it as hope for myself too? I also know how wonderful it feels to receive that type of support. 
Ok, there you have it, just some totally random things from this week. Now it's your turn. What's something random in your life?

Hump Day and More Pineapples

Full-Body Workout  I'll readily admit that getting up this morning was quite painful and almost didn't happen. I forced myself out of bed though not exactly excited about tackling a full-body Pyramid workout. Sort of daunting at 5 am really. I did the warm up from Shock Cardio Cardio Core Circuit (cardio only premix) then hit the weights. It was a pyramid up only so I increased my starting weight. I topped it all off with the first 2 1/2 drills from the cardio workout. I ran short on time and was basically spent. Squats into Plie Squats Step Ups (seriously hate these especially at 5:30 am) Incline Chest Flyes into Chest Press Pullovers into DB Underhand Rows Step Ups (freaking again) Static Lunges Overhead DB Press into Lateral Raises Deadlifts Kickbacks into Overhead Extensions Hammer Curls into Alternating Curls Calf Raises I am so excited to report that my new cross-trainers and running shoes arrived today. Can't wait to test both of them out. I waited way way way too

Hitting the Gym and Lazy Means Creative Tex-Mex Creation

Sunday, Gym Day Why do vacations and min-vacations go by so quickly? Just doesn't seem quite right. Anyway, we left Branson around 9:30 am to head back home. It was a pretty uneventful drive back, which is usually a good thing. We got home and unpacked, then I headed up to the gym. I started with a 10-minute treadmill run to warm up before hitting the weights for back and light legs then abs. I went with a giant set for back then supersets for legs. GS - 4x8 Underhand barbell rows Pullovers Double-arm rows SS#1 Rear-leg elevated lunges (Bulgarian Split Squats) - 3x8 Calf raises - 3x20 SS#2 - 2x8 Walking lunges Plie squats with low-end pulse Single-leg deadlifts - 2x8 I did some ab exercises, stretched, and called it quits. Lazy = Crazy Dinner I may have made it to the gym and washed a few loads of laundry, but I never made it to the grocery store - lounging in the pool trumped grocery shopping. This meant getting creative with dinner. We had another package
