Halloween that wasn't

So i was super excited for Halloween b/c i came up with an AWESOME costume for only 6$ and some change! It was going to be amazing! FUN! the bestest everest! THEN... i got sick! Like ewwww don't go back into general population sick stuck in bed can only eat soup (which i hate unless i'm sick) SICK! Also the honey head got sick. We were quite the pair. So i had to miss the Halloween party i was going to go to! Lets not forget to mention the SNOW we got... yes snow in October. Anyways. I'm super sad face and every time i see my costume in the living room i'm reminded of the pain!

But after sleeping and not seeing other human beings for 3 days i can finally say i'm mostly better! (LOL Mostly nice huh...) The illness was NOT fun and still isn't. Oh and my hip is all hurty which means no exercise for me... which is making me very not happy. UGh i'm a whine fest.

Well here is to a better week (i hope) and maybe a better post next time around! LOL

thank you for listening to this broadcast of the whine club. until next time stay not sick face!

Honey Crisp Apple

No that isn't code for anything fancy... it's the type of apple i am eating right now and it's yummy... and giant... so it's for sharing. Spread the love.

So Popcorners are taking over my life and are FINALLY showing up in stores so i'm not just some crazy lady going on about an amazing snack that is made up & fake! I was really a day away from just ordering some on line when i found them at a Wegmans... then i found them at Giant yesterday on my way home (i stopped to get perogies which i haven't had in at least a year... for shame)! So the kettle ones are amazing! Sea salt also very yummy. The butter ones are ok... they have this strange under flavor of that powdered cheese from mac & cheese (which i hate). I have yet to try the white cheddar or Cheesy Jalapeno but i have good faith in them. NOW a popcorner is a triangle shaped popcorn chip like snack. I LOVE POPCORN but i HATE kernels... in fact i was going to try and purchase Hull Free popcorn a year or so ago till i realized it was a lot of money. SO popcorners are an amazing snack for a popcorn addict! Kernel free and AMAZING! Will it stop me from eating normal popcorn most likely not BUT it will help me eat less and annoy my teeth (gums) less! SO GO NOW FIND POPCORNERS (if you like popcorn) and make your mouth & tummy HAPPY!

Also i bought this tea that was half price it's green tea with cinnamon (Dilmah brand i have never heard of that brand) and it is YUMMY! i'm so glad i spent the 1.79$ on it. LOL yes it has caffeine but it is very yummy without sugar! My favorite tea quality.

Also a new fact i learned last night... green bananas are better for you then the fully ripe ones IF you are looking to fill up but not fill out... if you catch what i'm saying! A green banana is not fully digestible so if fills you up but leaves you with less calories absorbed! So EAT those green bananas! Also pistachio nuts the fat from them we don't absorb as much so eat away!! (well you know eat a serving... you still need to watch the calories)

Oh and i'm in love with the chocolate rice cakes! they are 60 calories in a cake and if you put some peanut butter on one... heaven! they have little mini chocolate chips in them... seriously try them... it's a good way to stop myself from going to wawa and buying their entire stock of Reece's pumpkins.

In annoying children news... My friend informed me when we were out a week or so ago that the SCREAMING child next to us wasn't bothering her b/c she is able to block it out. (she is a mother) That explained so much... and made me so sad all at the same time. So lets say 50% of the reason parents don't give an F about their screaming child is b/c they are blocking it out... (i may have said this before) wonderful. Sadly i can NOT block out your child's screams and i'm ready to smack them. Also my honey head and i were shopping and these two kids (lets say 10 years ish old i.e. should know better) were running YES running around a store almost knocking into people... knocking into displays for certain as their mom walked around "guys... stop......no really guys.... stop...." in a low library voice... LADY that is CLEARLY working so well for you. The dang kids didn't even pause for a moment... Effective parenting 101. Further cementing the shriveling of my eggs.

Well i hope you enjoy this Tuesday. i'm out.

No tengo dinero! Or some such nonsense

Ugh. Yep i feel ugh. However that hasn't stopped me from working out so i guess that's good. Though i am debating just going to practice tonight and not actually practicing... how bad would that be?

I had lunch with my one co-worker today and she cracks me the heck up! She is Costa Rican and so sometimes words escape her. For example she was trying to explain a toy her step-daughter got. She says "It's a horse ssss (makes a motion with her hands)..." Me "Saddle?" Her "No a horse.... A HORSE HOUSE." Me "(laughing just a little) A stable?" Her "YES that word!" and we both laugh. She says her way sounds better. Then i'm leaving to go back to work and she was telling me how she had a yogurt with "i guess oatmeal..." me "granola?" Her "yeah that." Me "Ok horse house i gotta go." LOL we have a fun time picking on each other b/c believe me she picks on me too!

So that was my lunch today after standing in a non-moving line for 15 minutes before abandoning ship and heading to sublameway. Not that the line i was standing in was any better saladlameworks. Wednesday is deal day at saladworks and it was packed crazy packed. Yuck!

Also my new favorite game (not) is dodging sales calls at work. currently i have two relentless sales men calling me... always wanting an appointment... meanwhile the people i WANT to hear back from don't have the time of freaking day for me. It's super fun.

Wow... this post is all over the place. Have fun with that. Bye now. (LOL)

how i feel today.

Just in case you wanted to know. That photo of me accurately depicts how i am feeling today.

Update or something PUMPKIN

So since my 31 days of running ended i have been doing the Jillian Michael ripped in 30 DVD everyday! (well ok i missed a day... but still that's decent...) I am not sure how it's 30 days b/c it's 4 weeks which = 28 days... but close enough i guess? Anyhow, i do that DVD and on the days i don't have derby i run (or try to) Last week i ran 3 days. So far this week 1 day (the other 2 days i had derby). I like the results i am already seeing and i think it's chasing the sleepy face away.
Derby though drama filled i mean reaching critical mass as we speak... has been good. I am skating my legs off when i'm at practice and really trying to make every drill count. Monday we did a 41 minute pace and i lead at least 5 minutes of it. I really got us going there for a while but had to slow down because the back of the line was breaking down.

I can't wait for my new skates!!! But i still have at least 2 weeks if not 3. I might go up there (DE) on Saturday to see if i can change from a double action to a single action truck... i don't know what i was thinking when i ordered the double. I should have just gotten the single b/c i already have a double so if i hated the single i could switch them out. WHAT WAS I THINKING?! FYI the skate shop i bought it at they don't answer the phone or e-mails. fun.

AND finally... Yes PUMPKIN!! Future self you got a pumpkin bagel with pumpkin cream cheese this year at the Bagel & Bread house on Norristown rd! And here is the proof (thanks sis!). My sis face wanted a bagel or wanted to fill the time while we waited for our mom. So i was like alright lets go to the Bagel & Bread house right near my house. AND THEY HAD PUMPKIN BAGELS! And PUMPKIN CREAM CHEESE! And all my dreams came true! LOVE! (so far this week i have been back once more... YUM!)

In that photo also look at my awesome new purse (roller disco awesome sauce) again THANKS SIS! and you can see my wedding ring & band oooooo! LOL

Capital One pain in my BUTT

So you know those funny commercials for Capital One... no hassles no fees... OH how AWESOME!! Except it's not true... at all. I have two Capital One cards. I've had them for about i want to say 10 years. I have never found them to be hassle free or fee free. In fact my one card they like to charge me an annual membership fee for, EVEN THOUGH i declined whatever shit club or service it is exactly the fee pays for several times. THEY still charge me for it!! So i hadn't used either card in a year (they are fully paid off). And i get this late notice on the one card i'm like WHAT THE CRAP?! (i used a different cuss but i digress.) Well they charged me a 39$ membership fee in August! But didn't send me a bill (awesome) so they waited until the end of September and 2 late fees later to let me know i was late paying a membership fee i knew nothing about!! SO when i called about it, it was i'm afraid just a few days too late to remove the membership fee BUT we could get rid of the late fees for you...

Well thank you for treating a long time customer so well! I'm just so glad the no hassles no fees are for new members only. Isn't that great folks? So i cancelled the card right then and there after paying the 39$ for nothing! Yippee Party time everyone!

Then lets move on to the other card i have with them... somewhere along the way they put a password on it... THEY did. Not ME. THEY DID. I have no idea what this password is... therefore i can't call and TALK to them about this card BUT i can go online and use their online services... b/c i know my online login... MAKE SENSE of that! Please. I need to cancel this card as well... but i don't know the mystical magical password... so i can send a letter requesting they remove the password along with the letter i need to send a copy of my license and SS card i believe... that's comforting isn't it. That sounds hassle free doesn't it... Magical almost.

And that my friends is why i will no longer be a Capital One customer and how i was able to run 2 miles in 17 minutes. end rant.

hopefully later (or tomorrow) i will have a much more fun post for you.
