Congratulations - LeBron was a monster! I'm just happy I didn't buy tickets to game 7. Phew!
YES YOU!
Maybe he wasn't *peeling* well that day (okay, that one was pretty bad)
Also pleased that I have woken up without that back pain on Sunday, Monday AND this morning! That’s a streak, people!!
Running with the HydraQuiver went better today. I didn't make the straps as tight and while they still dug into my armpits, it wasn't as bad as last week. I think I just need to find that perfect adjustment where the straps are tight enough that they don't move around (because moving around = chafing) but not too tight that it hurts. Today it felt much better than last week, good enough for me to decide to keep the HydraQuiver and likely ditch the Camelback for good.
I'm in the Hyatt in the Orlando airport and tomorrow is embarkation day!
CLEVELAND THAT I LOVE
I apologize for not responding to comments and I promise I will next week (though quick answer for @camaker got the single barrel and it's taken some getting used to but I am fully onboard with it! ) - right now I'm in the Hyatt in the Orlando airport and tomorrow is embarkation day!
But I'm all about...CLEVELAND!!!!!!
View attachment 176426
I can't even explain what this means to Clevelanders. I'm stunned that it actually happened...and I can't believe we aren't home for it!!
I promise I am not whining that we're cruising tomorrow (!!), but what timing to be away from home!!
Have a great week, I'll be back next week!
CLEVELAND!!!!! AHHHHHHHHH
Got behind on your journal-caught up now!!! Have a fantastic cruise!
Also wanted to let you know that you have officially converted me to InknBurn...just treated myself to an early B-day present of both the new ZEN singlet and skirt...such beautiful colours, I can't wait!!!
Because it is my birthday, because I can always use another running skirt with pockets, because the colours are gorgeous and I do actually need more running tops, I totally talked myself into it! LOL! But seriously, this is my last running clothes purchase until Wine & Dine....maybe...I'm thinking about buying those too. I really.really.really do not need more running clothes. BUT, my birthday is coming up soon, so ya know. I haven't tried one of their skirts yet either, but am so tempted with that set. The colors really are gorgeous.
Yes, definitely! It's really nice to just be able to throw them in the washing machine.I'm glad to hear the Harveys bags are easy to clean - definitely a point in their favor!
That's not weird, that's just smart!(Also ... here's a weird Sarah fact: unless I'm really "about to fall over" tired, I refuse to drink coffee while wearing a white shirt. There was a point in my life where all of my white shirts had coffee stains on them. If I'm wearing white, I'm gonna spill my coffee, no matter how careful I am)
For sure. The fun is going to be over for Mr. A soon though - he has to start his own classes (grad school) in a couple of weeks!Yay for booking Mr. A's flight! And yay for summer vacation! My dad has been home since last week (although he had to go in once last week for a meeting or something and then this week for graduation) ... not so fun for me, but I'm sure he's enjoying it more than being in school.
I've had good mornings and not-as-good mornings, but mostly good! The yays are warrented!Yay for waking up with no back pain so many days in a row!!
(wow, lots of yays in this update!)
Right?! That's a super crazy one!!Looking at that Birds of Paradise thing ... I might be able to do step 1. Maybe. On a good day. Maybe.
Really, save your 5 bucks. Sometimes the simplest solution (i.e. NOT using the bun maker + pins) is the best one.So ... I guess it's a good thing that I didn't buy the bun maker. So far I've been okay just putting my hair up in a bun all by myself. If I do it tight enough, it doesn't fall out.
I do like SweatyBands for keeping hair out of my face. They work really well and stay in place, but unfortunately, they are pricey!!My problem now is hair in my face, but thankfully that hasn't been too bad (headbands don't seem to work for me, so I'm basically SOL on that one).
I hope the new hairstyle works out better for you!
"It wasn't bad, but I didn't enjoy it" - hahaha! Very honest review!!Also ... I've been meaning to tell you this for like 2 weeks ... I finished Jessica Jones. It wasn't bad, but I didn't enjoy it. I'm watching Daredevil season 2 now, and I'm liking that, which is good.
I'm excited for Luke Cage too - I think that comes out in September!!I'm actually really excited for Luke Cage to come out in a few months - I really liked his character on Jessica Jones.
YAY!! Congratulations!!Shannon - I had a baby and missed so many updates! I am glad things are going well! Love the C-3PO shirt! I hope you have an awesome time on your cruise!
Seriously - I have wiped out on a treadmill before. Thankfully it was back when I was 19 or something, so before smartphones were a thing...it's possible a video DOES NOT exist of that.I'm so behind on all things dis-board but have to just say OMG THOSE GYM gifs...bwahahahahaha!
I just know somewhere exists me falling and landing like a turtle at Planet Fitness...I just pray it doesn't exist or see the light of day.
One of my favorites!! That was a top contender for my Tink half outfit this year, guess I'll have to save it for next year.A) I want that pink tank top. Even though I hate showing my arms...I would for that.
NO...NO I DO NOT KNOW OF THESE PURSES *puts fingers in ears and shuts eyes* LA LALALALALALALA LA LAB) Did you see the new Mickey coach purses? With the ears? No? Google them, but don't google the prices. Unless you already bought one.
You need to look on Pinterest for some cute hairstyles!!C) I envy your bun even if it's a messy annoying bun. My hair is so thin that any attempt at a bun ends up looking like a sad limp mini-donut.
Yay! I'm so glad that you're happy with them!!@Ariel484 thanks again for the InkNBurn recommendation! I love the shirts I got and they are going to be my go-to race shirts. Super comfortable and they seem to stay cooler than other shirts on the hot runs, too.
I got the single, and I know @ZellyB husband Chris has the double. I did not get the vest model, this is the one that I have: http://www.orangemud.com/products/hydraquiver?variant=402522413Quick question on the HydraQuiver. Did you get the Single Barrel or the Vest Pack 1? It looks like something I may need to try out. I've been struggling to find a hydration option that works for me. The Camelbak has the capacity and is pretty comfortable, but the cleaning is an absolute pain! I've got a Nathan Trail Mix Belt, but the bottles are a bit small and tend to rotate around while I'm running and the pocket is WAY too small for my phone. I've also got one of those Nathan holsters that holds a full size bottle, but it is awkward to get to on my lower back, tends to bounce and also has a too small pocket.
Any further HydraQuiver experiences you can relate? Thanks!
Hey...this only comes along in our city once every 50 years or whatever!! THANKS!Yeah, you Cleveland people are going to be unbearable this week.
Congrats!!
OMG right?! I would have had a heart attack!!Congratulations - LeBron was a monster! I'm just happy I didn't buy tickets to game 7. Phew!
Stunned is exactly how I felt. YAYYYYYI was stunned Cleveland pulled it off too. I'm not a big NBA fan at all but good for you guys.
Sounds like it's time to...split!These horrendous jokes are driving me bananas
I love lamp.
She would rule.How awesome would this girl be at Twister?!
Nooooo that's the worst! Maybe the straps can be adjusted??I just started running with a backpack too, it's also a hydration bag but I just use it to run to work with so I just have a change of clothes in it. I'm also struggling with the underarm chaffing!!
We had a lovely time. We didn't do much (which is EXACTLY what we needed) so I'm not sure it would make for a great report or anything, but it was a great cruise. The last couple of times we have gone out of town it's been rough, so we needed a good one!YAH!!! Hope you have a fabulous trip!! Can't wait to hear all about it... JEALOUS!!!
WHEEEE Thanks! I've seen so many people wearing championship gear since we've been home...I think people are really reveling in it!Congrats, Cleveland! I don't follow NBA, but happy for you and your city!!
Have an amazing cruise and I'm looking forward to hearing about it on your return.
Fine, I'll allow it.Well having grown up in Northern CA (I actually got married in Oakland!), you can imagine who I was rooting for,
I'm not gonna lie...I shed some tears. It really does mean a lot.BUT I was legitimately moved and touched to see how happy Cleavand fans were. And to see how emotional all of the players were! I really like Lebron (he was so funny in Trainwreck); he is an AMAING player. Sooooo if Golden State had to lose, I'm happy it was to such a deserving team. What a way to end a series!!
For me...it was and it wasn't. My neck and shoulders were sore the next day because I was sooooo tense watching that game! But obviously the outcome was what I had been hoping for,There weren't enough Like buttons for this. That game was the best.
I will tell you that it wasn't me - no yelling here. My mouth was hanging open and I was just in shock. And then I cried a little.I was watching Game of Thrones instead of the game. But I could literally hear Cleveland from my house when you all won. Or maybe that was just my husband yelling? One of the two
YES!!! The Olympics, cannot wait!! I was a gymnast/diver in a former life and this is basically the only time I get to watch those sports (though I think gymnastics is televised more...diving almost never though).I'm not a basketball fan but I'm a fan of happy sports people piling up on each other and going crazy when they win. Which is why I can't wait for the Olympics!
You know she's going to take that as a challenge, right?And @dancingtodisney - I am going to get in trouble at work the next time your gifs make me laugh and snort at my desk!
We did, thank you!!Got behind on your journal-caught up now!!! Have a fantastic cruise!
Woohooooo! I'm glad you got your order in, did you see that the singlet is sold out?!Also wanted to let you know that you have officially converted me to InknBurn...just treated myself to an early B-day present of both the new ZEN singlet and skirt...such beautiful colours, I can't wait!!!
IF you decide to try a skirt, just know that it'll be an adjustment from SparkleSkirts (speaking of SparkleSkirts - what is with their bad PR lately?! ). The shorts are way different.I'm thinking about buying those too. I really.really.really do not need more running clothes. BUT, my birthday is coming up soon, so ya know. I haven't tried one of their skirts yet either, but am so tempted with that set. The colors really are gorgeous.
If you can stick to that, you are a better person than I am!Because it is my birthday, because I can always use another running skirt with pockets, because the colours are gorgeous and I do actually need more running tops, I totally talked myself into it! LOL! But seriously, this is my last running clothes purchase until Wine & Dine....maybe...
I think you are totally right that we will never know who did it, and I also think that they got the wrong house. At this point I am really curious as to how the TP-ers were wronged or whatever was done to them to make them do this! It was all totally mean-spirited, for sure. At least they didn't poop on our property (which is what I first assumed the cat food was...that was the grossest part but at least it wasn't poop).Wow, I am so very sorry about the crazy front yard destruction. I never could understand teenagers who thought it was OK to do stuff like that! (I have a memory of watching "Can't Buy Me Love" with my older sisters- I was probably like 7- and crying when Ronald and the other cool kids put dog poop on Ronald's friend's front porch. This kind of stuff is just so mean spirited!) I think if I were you, I would just assume that it was meant for a different house. I mean, unless they like confess or whatever, you will probably never know who did it. Anyway, that just really sucks and I'm sorry it happened to such nice people! At least you had something to do to get it off your mind, like a . . . DISNEY CRUISE! I can't wait to hear more about your vacation!
Ahhh me too!! I think it'll be perfect for cooler fall days, I will be LIVING in it.Your new InkNBurn stuff is awesome! That rose hoodie is just too gorgeous! If I hadn't already spent way too much on summer sandals this month, I would be all over that!
Yeah, it's nice to NOT be the butt of everyone's jokes for at least a little while. It's VERY exciting and I think it's made everyone really happy. I seriously thought I would never see Cleveland win a championship in my lifetime, so I am very happy to have been proved wrong.I'm sorry that you missed the Cleveland festivities. Like I said before, it really has made me happy to see how important this championship was for Cleveland. When I kept hearing that Cleveland had had a championship drought since 1964, I didn't realize that was for all sports until I read it later on NPR. How exciting!
Me too! There's a part of me that fears I'm setting myself up for injury by giving up the lifting, but for now I think it's working out well!I'm happy your increased yoga is working well for you!
I'm choosing to think it was random...the thought that we did something to someone to make them that angry is pretty upsetting, and I'd like to think we're nice people. Having said that, it still sucked to get randomly TP'd like that.Oh geez, so sorry about your house, they really did a number. Really sad someone would do it, hopefully it wasn't targeting at you guys but random, still awful to happen.
Totally, totally addicting!!Love that rose hoodie, I'm still holding off on Inkburn buying as I know it will lead to an addiction.
It is! I need to get out of vacation mode and get back to it, though!Can't wait to hear about your cruise. Glad Yoga is going well too, I'm impressed with anyone who can do yoga!
Haha, yeah, I asked him if he had any students that he thought could have possibly done this - he swears it's not one of his students! Hmm...They either got the wrong house or your husband upset one really vindictive girl who planned it after report cards came out. People suck! Sorry for you to feel violated like that! Floodlights are definitely the right thing to get installed! Good for you at least running that day! I think I would have used that as an excuse.
Ahhh, me too! I went a whopping zero times this week. Oops!!Hope you keep up with the yoga the 3x a week! Its such a nice workout!
