i love a good list. here's a recap of my weekend, recent workouts, and more personal oddities:
1. i waited on sinbad twice this weekend. he's taller in person. and thinner. and he hit on me. it was quite hilarious.
2. even though the giants lost, it was a great game. and of course i could not resist the garlic fries and beer. and just a note to bcg: baseball games are where all the cute guys are. whether they were married or not i couldn't tell, but they were cute!
3. the concert was a multi-act show of teenybopper pop acts including katherine mcphee, gym class heroes, hilary duff, and ne-yo. the camera really does add 10 pounds because both katherine and hilary are as tiny as toothpicks. i swear to bob i could have punted them across the arena. gym class heroes were cool enough to intrigue me to buy their full album. and of course, true to form, i had waaaaaaaay to much beer, prompting a gorgefest of mom's fried chicken when we got home. i guess i really am a bad girl. :(
4. i recently got a few responses from an online dating profile that i set up after breaking up with my last boyfriend nearly a year ago. after months of meeting only so-so guys, i rewrote a new "anti"-profile, just for shits and giggles. being totally not serious, i was sarcastic and irreverent. makes me wonder why these dudes responded.
5. i missed an xtraining and speed workout over the weekend, but got my 40 minute easy run in this morning. my gym is brand spankin' new and the first thing i thought when i walked in was "oooh it smells good in here!" i must be addicted to the smell of new plastic or rubber or something. the good news is is that there are now like 3 times as many treadmills as before! the bad news is that they don't overlook the weight room anymore so no more ogling guys. ooh also good news. i accidentally left the house without my knee band thingees, but it was all good because my knees felt totally fine!!
6. the gym also changed their class schedule around and they offer yoga 3 times a week at a time that i can actually take it! i'm hoping the other people in the class aren't obnoxious. i seem to always run into the holier-than-thou stick up their asses yoga people.
7. consistency is now going to be my middle name. i can't screw around and miss workouts. marathons don't run themselves. but another kick in the pants is that my brother's girlfriend, who i also work with, said to me the other day, "well you're the fat one"
yes, she really did say that to me. and no, i did not bitch slap her.
i restrained myself because i know it's not the truth. i know i haven't been a gym rat lately, but please. and seriously, who says that? and dude, if you want to get in good with the family, attacking the women is not a good move. not a good move at all.
i heard she started jenny craig with her mom last week. and she told me she went to the gym today. whatever, chica. it's on. bring it!!!
and because i heart jess, i will list 6 more weird things about me, if you guys can bear it:
1. i naturally have no underarm hair. which i am very thankful for because hair or stubble there grosses me out to no end!
2. i cannot stand the word "panty" or "panties"
3. why i think having indoor pets is gross: their buttholes are exposed. meaning they could rub them all over your stuff. ick!
4. i love the ocean but do not like swimming in rivers or lakes. i just think they're not as clean because they aren't as big.
5. i actually like getting my picture taken. which is probably more a sign of vanity than weirdness.
6. apparently, i sleep with my eyes partly open. at least i don't snore!

I totally 100% agree with #2! Weird, not many people agree with me...
I think that if my brothers girlfriend said that to me, we'd have a dead girl and a very upset brother.
The nerve of some people astound me. You? Fat? I don't think I could cut off my leg & weigh what you do.
My mouth is still agape from reading the 'fat' thing. But I think your constraint means your endurance work for the week is done. Just reading that makes me tense with anger. Grrr.
Good luck on finding a good yoga class. I've swung between holier-than-thou and you-what-me-to-do-what-and-how?
While on the one hand it's a little irritating to have people giggling and falling on simple poses (the latter group), I also find the people who are flashy yogies just as irritating. I had one woman in my class whose ujjayi breathing was so loud I thought, on a regular basis that she was actually choking.
Keep running hard!
You have no underarm hair?!!! Can I please tell you how jealous I am right now? That is not weird; that is a blessing!
What do you call panties?
#3 - I'm so with you! With the exception of a small lizard and a betta (who both reside in an aquarium), we don't have pets.
My brother has yet to bring his girlfriend around to meet the family (he's been dating her for 8 months).... I hope she doesn't say anything as offensive as your brother's girl. I think I'd lose it. Kudos to you for 'keeping your cool'. :)
Oh man, so many things to comment on! My brain might implode.
1. Yes, animals have buttholes and they do rub them all over. My dog also has an unnatural love for licking his butt, which totally grosses me out. Whoever thought I'd have occasion to shout: "Scooter, quit licking your butt!" Not me.
2. Good work on the beer consumption. I like a girl who can guzzle as much beer as I do!
3. I would not only have bitch slapped that brother's girlfriend, but I would've pistol-whipped her for such a comment.
4. I too seem to wind up in yoga class with people I can't stand; I think it's the nature of the breed. Yoga attracts the bendy weirdos (should I count myself amongst them?).
#6 would scare the $#!% out of me!! :-)
Such a fact-filled post. That's outrageous that someone called you fat. Crap, anyone can tell from your photos you aren't. And how on earth did you manage to get the hairless underarm gene?!
That's kinda cool that Sinbad hit on you. I mean, how many other running bloggers can throw in that little ditty?!?!
I think your bro's girlfriend must be insecure about her own body -- still, not exactly the way to win you over.
Agreed: dog and cat buttholes are gross.
And I must also be vain b/c I have always loved the camera.
I also sleep with my eyes partially open. I guess we are weird together.
