Government Hooker

Due to the half day as a result of this ungodly heat, I got to go home to eat lunch. I took a picture of it because I felt like it was a classic "food blogger" lunch. 
 
Now if I could learn to eat 2 teaspoons of ice cream or a single cherry for dessert, and to work my camera better, I could launch my own food blog.

I got a lot done today with the extra hours that I'd normally be at work. Got some snacks and a shirt for the 50K, cleaned the whole apartment (bedroom doesn't count, organizing mail doesn't count), cleaned my car, showered (yes this is an accomplishment) , did some baking, and made lunch/snacks for the rest of the week. 

I also lost a lot of time due to stupidity. Target trip number one was a FAIL because I came from work and didn't bring any method of payment. Ya, considering I have to lock up my pencils and scissors I don't bring my purse there. 

Then I couldn't find the library to pick up applications for our students. I couldn't remember which way to turn on the road it was on, so I picked one, and it was the wrong one, and I gave up and went home.

I also celebrated National Running Day with a half hour on the elliptical with Self and the new Lady Gaga cd, which I have listened to at least 17 times since my mom copied it for me on Monday. Both my parents are huge Gaga fans - probably where I get my awesomeness from. Interesting that blogger doesn't consider "awesomeness" misspelled.
 There's even a song named after my favorite starbucks drink, Americano!

 I really wanted to do some sort of long run or hardcore spinning class that would kick my ass, but all the energy I save today will be ready for me on Saturday....right?

I really liked Sam's suggestion of leaving a trail of chocolate behind to find our way back on the trail. But considering chocolate is my obsession and we are facing a worldwide chocolate shortage, my goal is to stockpile it, not let it melt in the woods. Maybe I'll leave a trail of something gross, like olives. Or chicken nuggets.

After my wedding I swore I'd never get another manicure. Now I remember why.
I got this on Friday. $14 well spent.

What food do you hate enough that you'd leave behind on the trail with no regrets?

Do you get manicures? How do I make them last past 4 days?

  1. I liked Sam's suggestion too!

    I hate manicures (pedicures are a different story)! It feels like my nails are suffocating.

  2. Iced Americano (with sugar free caramel) is my Starbucks go-to :)

    I feel like manicures/pedicures are a waste for me. I like to keep my nails SHORT (I'm kind of weird about it), and I never feel like they get them short enough. So I just save the money and do it myself.

  3. The last time I got my nails done was for my wedding, 10 months ago. I never get manicures, pedis are a once in a year type deal.

    I think a mushroom trail would be fine. Hate them. I guess that actually could be something growing out there though, huh?!
    :)

  4. This post is awesome for so many reasons.

    1. Your parents are Gaga fans! Amazing.
    2. You cleaned during your time off. That is exactly what I would have done.
    3. I forget where I was going with this list.

    ps did you make the oreo brownie things?

  5. Your food picture is awesome. CHERRIES! Now I want some. I totally wish they were a year-round fruit. I dig the maraschino ones, but let's face it, they're probably not as healthy.

    Also, I don't get manicures either, for the same reason! It doesn't matter if I paint my nails or if I get them done, they still only last four days at the MAX.

  6. I'd leave raisins behind me on the trail. Ugh, so nasty.

    I never do my nails for that very reason. I'm also giving up on my toes because my feet just look awful from all this running.

    I go to Target all the time. It's seriously one of the only things I can do around here with the baby :)

  7. I like the new gaga album! I got it on amazon's mp3 store for .99 last week! or was that two weeks ago...I'm losing track of time as the school year is ending.

    I like iced americanos...or the double shot on ice! i don't remember what's different...milk and sweetener, and a shaker?

    Not a manicure person. Last one I got was for my wedding...3 years and 10 months ago. Working with small people I have developed the habit of washing my hands frequently, so nailpolish doesn't stay on long. Plus I'm clumsy and I hit my fingers on things all the time. I don't even put nailpolish on because it bugs me when it's not even or if I chip it. I'll take a pedicure any day though!
