F you, Mizuno
i mean, i knew they changed the heel height from the wave rider 13s to the 14s. but i bought a pair of 14s and they were fine. now my second pair of 14 sucks ASS and is causing my running to be off and fucking up my left hip flexor.
i cannot find a pair of 13s in my size to save my life and i don’t want to pay for the 15s if i don’t know they’ll be back to the heel height of the...

haygirlhay replied to your post: The only movie I’ve seen of anything nominated for an Oscar is “Bridesmaids.”
no one is going to make me watch war horse or extremely loud & incredibly close. no one.
Steph - please tell me this is the book you posted about the other day re: not being able to get past the first 100 pages. PRETTY PLEASE!
edit: “the book” is...

Monday Check In
Obsessing over: Why does my calf hurt?? I hate that I’m so stressed out right now.
Working on: Construction inspection reports
Thinking about: Having to train a new employee. It’s weird when people don’t understand my instructions and just kind of copy stuff without thinking about it.
Anticipating: My Grandmother’s spaghetti recipe that she sent me and I made last...

Y’all know how the whole high-low combo is a “thing” in fashion? (I’m not very fashion-y. It’s Lilly? Ok, sounds good…I’ll take 3.)
Well, I decided to have a high-low dinner last night. So I made baked chicken nuggets and then some pancetta brussel sprouts.
Oh, and there was Merlot. And rainbow sherbet.
It was all delicious.
i don't want to live in a world where Seal and...

Seche Vite top coat. Luci is right. Forever and always.
Essie/nail polish in general. To include the Essie ridge-filling base coat. (as recommended by Steph. Whom I’m evidently stalking today? Sorry about that.)
And, of course, the Urban Decay Naked Palette. As recommended by everyone forever. Sidecar is my absolute jam, y’all.
Also, almost anything that TGT posts I...

I’m calling shenanigans on this. Squirrel traps in Cary? No.

I just tried to look at Columbia, SC missed connections and it’s blocked at work. Damn the man!

Tumblr collides with IRL
Did you know that my little sister and Mary are going to be in the same paralegal class together?
I just think that’s cool. I made sure that they both know who the other is. If I can’t do a tumblr Raleigh meetup, I’m sending my clone.

The only one of these I ever mispronounced was corrected years ago so I will sit upon my command-of-the-English language throne in judgement of anyone who thought ath-a-lete was right.
Also I move to add chipotle to this list. T before L, lord have mercy.
I really didn’t know about often/offen. And one...

This whole time, I’ve been thinking it was DowntoWn Abbey instead of Downton Abbey.
The only reason I figured it out was because the priest who performed my Opa’s funeral said it properly and I immediately googled it.
I felt dumb.

But I’m about to go out to drunklunch. And then the grocery store? Grown up ideas.
I’m running 18 miles tomorrow. Eff this marathon noise.

Just got a call from my Momma
letting me know that my Opa (her father) passed away. He had dementia and about a year ago we moved him and my Oma from Winston-Salem to a nursing home in Raleigh so we could be closer.
I saw him on Christmas day. He was confused, but otherwise healthy. Evidently he fainted last night and was sent to the ER. They thought he had pneumonia, but couldn’t really find anything wrong with him. My...

Some things. Quickly.
1. I feel like the VT team played really well last night and that makes me happy. I’ve learned not to get my hopes up in bowl games, so I’m not disappointed. (Chokies)
2. I’m pumped that Rick Perry is re-evaluating his decision to run for President. That man is a loon. Santorum isn’t much better, but I’m fairly confident that Mitt will get the GOP nomination and,...
