DOs and DON'Ts

Here's some random lessons I've learned since my last post:


1. DON'T go to yoga directly before going to the track for speedwork. It makes you way too sleepy.
2. DON'T do said speedwork in 80+ degree weather when you haven't trained in anything above 60 since last summer.
3. DON'T bother waking up an hour early to do grad work that is due today because the questions won't be posted yet and you'll still have to do it when you get home at 8pm tonight.
4. DO spend that hour writing a dos and don'ts list on your blog - much more productive.
5. DO wet your face before putting your googles on, it lets them keep the water out without creating huge red lines that last until noon and then you don't feel like your eyeballs are getting sucked out of your face for the whole swim.
6. DO pretend that the huge warm spot you suddenly swim through is just a blast of heat from the heater or something.
7. DO dump out your coffee and make a new pot if it doesn't taste right - life's too short to drink watery coffee.
8. DO tell your husband that your meeting with your professor today makes you as scared as if you were meeting with the Volturi and think you are being really funny.
9. DON'T get really upset when he doesn't know who you mean and wish you could just live in a dorm with your girlfriends forever so you'll always have someone around to get twilight references and tell you if your outfit looks good for real.

Feel free to add any Dos and Don'ts that you've picked up recently.

  1. If I make a Twilight or Harry Potter reference, I get such joy out of the disgust it generates from my husband. It's almost as much fun as talking to someone who actually likes those things. :)

  2. These are hilarious! Love my hubs to bits but maybe once every couple of months I would like a girl sleepover in my old college dorms. Gotta figure out how to arrange that...

  3. Hahah, I was going to say, if your husband knows who the Volturi are, you might be in trouble ;).

    Yoga before running is definitely not the way to go. lol

  5. LOL to the Volturi reference. I keep seeing a bumper sticker that says, "I drive like a Cullen." Dude...I've read all the books and seen all the movies so far and I have no idea what that means.

  6. I like your new banner! I'm just returning to blog-reading land after slacking for the last two weeks.

    I hear ya on number 2. Florida running was ROUGH last week. 3 is a huge pain in the butt. I agree with number 7! and 9b (does this outfit look ok??) I tell my husband that since I married him, I no longer have female roommates so he has to do that job for me.

  8. I cracked up at number 8. I love Twilight! I think I may drop the word "Volturi" into a sentence tonight and see what my husband says/does?

  10. Do: explain wtf a Volturi is.
    Don't: care since people say it's from twilight.

    Harry Potter references are ok though. But Twilight was possibly the worst movie I've ever seen. Yes, worse than Bangkok Dangerous with Nic Cage.

  11. Number four is really funny, trying to spend on your blogs is really productive. That is the things that I really do a lot. And the said Volturis, they just creep me out when I try to imagine them.. hahaha
