Grumpy

Posted on January 27, 2012 by Kelly

I’m super cranky, sleep deprived, and kind of pissed off today. So how’s that of a Friday mood?  I’m almost positive I somehow managed to tear/strain a muscle on the right side of my back this week, which is what is contributing to the crankiness and my sleep deprivation. I sleep on my right side usually, and since I can’t do that without feeling like someone is stabbing me, I tried to sleep on my back.  It didn’t work well.  I also can’t really move, and the swelling and pain is pretty uncomfortable.  Yayzies.

Instead of continuing to whine and complain, I’m just going to leave  you with this.  My roommate, Danielle, sent it out yesterday and it made me laugh.

So true.  The end. Happy Friday.

Men are Funny

Posted on January 26, 2012 by Kelly

That man I love, he’s a funny one.  The two of us have been brainstorming ideas of things to do when I’m out there visiting next month, since for the first time we have no real plans or obligations.  Things I’ve come up with:

  • touring the numerous breweries
  • checking out the venue I loved
  • visiting the Milwaukee Art Museum
  • go to the Pabst Mansion

The other night he called me and we had a conversation that went something like this:

Dar: How would you feel about winter camping the weekend you’re here?
Me: Is that a joke?
Dar: No, it could be fun if we got another couple to go.
Me: By winter camping do you mean renting a log cabin with heat and indoor plumbing? Because that I’d do.
Dar: Well no, I meant like an actual tent outdoors.
Me: (laughing hysterically)
Dar: Alright, I guess that’s a no.

Oh, that’s a no, that’s a hell no, but it was a nice thought.  I think we’ll be sticking with my plan of activities.  Oh and add to that list dinner and a movie date to see The Vow for Valentine’s Day.  That may be what I’m most excited for.  Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams all in one movie? Hooray!

Anyway, so I just took 4 Ibuprofen because this week’s workouts are absolutely kicking my ass.  Everything is sore, and I couldn’t even sleep on my right side last night because it was too painful.  I’m also struggling to lift my arms over my head, which is making doing my hair wildly difficult. Waah.  Luckily, my legs have finally stopped being sore from Monday, just in time to work them out again today.

So, thankfully it’s Thursday, because this week has seriously been dragging.  So much so that I thought today was Friday, imagine that disappointment when I realized it wasn’t.  I’m just hoping to make it through the day and my leg workout.

My Legs, they’re Broken

Posted on January 24, 2012 by Kelly

You guys, my butt and hamstrings, ouch.  I am hobbling around like no other today, and it’s for sure a flats kind of day.  Yesterday was day 15 of LiveFit, and I’m blaming this little move for my pain today.

Between trying to balance on one leg, and actually do the move correctly, I was struggling.  You would think I’d have better balance after doing gymnastics for so many years.  Anyway, I almost cried getting out of bed this morning, but good news there’s more leg work on Thursday!

So remember that tray of chocolate deliciousness I baked last Thursday?  Well does anyone want to come over and take them away from me, because I can’t stop eating them.  It’s bad, I’m pretty sure I ate anywhere between 7-10 brownies over the weekend, and today it’s no wonder my pants feel tighter than last week. (we’re just going to pretend it’s because I’m pre-period bloated).  If I don’t get myself under control, Darren’s going to wonder who the 400lb woman is who must have eaten his girlfriend, when he picks me up from the airport in three weeks.

Let’s see, what else… OH! I watched the cutest movie yesterday, Secretariat.  If you don’t find movies about animals adorable, you won’t like it.  This one is about a race horse, and I kind of loved it.  It was one of those movies that left me with a goofy smile on my face the whole time I was watching it.  Also, I would now like a horse.

Well, it’s Tuesday and I have a meeting in 30 minutes, followed by another meeting, so today is going to blow.  Anyway, hope y’all have a good one!

Another Day Inside

Posted on January 23, 2012 by Kelly

Well I was seriously hoping for a delayed opening today, but the freezing rain the news was calling for didn’t really end up freezing on anything so here I am, on time.  As you already know, my weekend was completely uneventful and spent in my house crafting.  I am a nerd.

Yesterday was also spent in the house, only instead of making crafts, I made food.  First on the agenda was Egg Muffins for breakfasts this week.  Since the holidays I’d kind of gotten away from preparing all my meals and was frequenting the omelet station in the cafeteria all too often.  I made my Egg Muffins the exact same way I made my Egg Bake, just in a muffin tin instead of casserole dish.

First order of business was to cook up the 10 pieces of bacon and chop up the garlic and peppers.  Once the peppers were diced nice and small I added them to the bowl where I had 10 eggs whisked and waiting.

I cut the bacon up put the pieces in the bottom of the muffin tin.  I only meant to do 10, but apparently I forgot how to count, so there’s 11.  This ended up working out fine, because I had enough egg mixture to fill 11.

Two pieces of sharp cheddar on top of the bacon, then I scooped the egg mixture on top.  The cooked at 325 for 20 minutes and puffed up and overflowed nicely.

An easy and delicious breakfast to get me through the week!  After my breakfasts were prepared, I also made dinner for Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.  I picked up the ingredients for sausage, onions, and peppers last week at the store, so that’s what was on the menu.  I made it the exact same way as I posted here, except I kept the chicken sausages whole and ate a nice crusty sandwich.  Delicious.

Alright, well try to have a good Monday!  I can’t believe it’s already the end of January.

Pinterest Owns Me

Posted on January 22, 2012 by Kelly

This past weekend was spent accomplishing all the things I’d recently seen on Pinterest that caught my eye.  First up was a Valentine’s Day wreath to replace our Christmas themed one that was currently hanging on our front door.  The tutorial can be found here, and while this was incredibly time consuming it wasn’t too difficult.

I bought all my supplies at Joann’s fabrics, two styrofoam heart shaped wreaths, 3/4 yard of red glittery felt, about 24 sheets of white and pink felt, and a pack of 340 straight pins.  Tracing the 3 inch circles onto the felt and then cutting them out was the worst part of this craft, and luckily by the time I moved onto wreath number two I realized I could triple up the sheets of felt and cut three circles at a time.

Once the circles are cut out, you fold them in half, and then in half again, place the straight pin through the bottom and pin into the styrofoam.

By the time I moved onto wreath number two on Saturday afternoon, I had a system all worked out.  I cut out every circle of felt before I started pinning, and knew the best way to position each piece.

Seeing how much better the second one turned out, kind of makes me want to re-do the first one, but even I’m not that crazy.  Anyway it was a fun craft that kept me occupied during the winter weather this weekend brought us.  The pink and white heart would also make a cute decoration in a baby girl’s room.

I’m currently still being lazy and hanging out next to the fire taking it easy.  Hope you all are having a lovely weekend!
