Lasagna noodle slurping and chocolate lipstick.

Whoever invented lasagna deserves a Nobel Prize.  Combine noodles, mounds of cheese, red sauce and tomatoes into one heavenly casserole.  On that note I also want to thank the “Texas Toast” (aka 1/4 cup of butter per slice of bread) inventor from the bottom of my heart.

I have heard that it is important to start the carb loading at least 10 days in advance of a marathon.  If it wasn’t for that I am sure I would have stopped after my first of four pieces of Texas Toast.

Meet the brother and sis-in-law.  You may remember them from HERE where they dressed up like Dwight and Angela.  Priceless.  Emilee is RUNNING now too….her next 5k is July 9th, families that run together stay together.

I think Billy may be getting sick of me taking his picture every 4 and a half minutes, it must be tough to be married to a blogger.

Girls table with heaps of chocolate and boys table with empty plates.   And yes, my niece has literally worn that hat for a month straight.  The brim in the back is folded over so that she can lay down and sleep with the thing on, I hope that she is not learning her hygiene habits from me because this could be a problem.

Chocolate makes the best lipstick.  Save a little deliciousness for later on…..you never know when you will need a little chocolate to make your life better again.

F.R.I.D.A.Y here we come.  It doesn’t get better than jeans day/early out day/start of spring break/physical therapist/lift weights with the sis/go to dinner with the family/watch movies with Billy day.

What does your husband/wife/significant other think of your blogging habits?

-At first I think he thought I was a little bit crazy for knowing every little detail about my internet friends lives.  But now he see’s how fun it is and how many other crazy people there out there just like me.  I think he needs to start a blog, because he clearly has a lot of free time on his hands being an electrical engineer major.

Do you wear lipstick?

-If I knew how to put it on correctly.  I am all about thick lip gloss from Victoria Secret.  I am completely addicted and have to put it on at least once an hour.

What food invention are you most grateful for today?

-Fro-yo, lasagna, pizza, starburst jelly beans and salads the size of our trash can (actually I can thank myself for that invention, I don’t know any other human that can put away the salads that I do).

My husband has yet to read my blog. He doesn't know why he needs to read about my life if he already lives with me.

No lipstick for me.

Burritos, tacos, nachos. I'm thankful for Mexican food!!!

I actually asked my boyfriend about his opinion the other day! He said he loves that I blog because he sees how happy it makes me. He's seen my blog but I don't know if he's read my blog. I'm happy he's supportive!

I'm a chapstick girl all the way.

As always I am grateful for pizza!
Especially since it's the weekend and weekends were made for pizza!

My hubs doesn't really like that I blog. He thinks it takes time away from him. :-(

Your niece and her hat crack me up! Billy is used to the pictures/blogging, but there are times when I'm sure it annoys him – like when I tell him he can't start eating because I'm taking a picture of his food. That's probably why I don't take many photos of food! I do not wear lipstick and I don't think I ever have. I'm thankful today for guacamole. We have ripe avocados that need to be eaten! Happy Friday, Janae! xo

My BF doesn't even read my blog but I make him look sometimes at what I put up. Just bc I am laughing and he wants to know why I am laughing at myself!!

Pizza for sure! I crave a big slice of greasy pizza after a good race! BLT's are a favorite as well.

I love lasagna too! Or any pasta and bread! So yummy! I know that brian thinks I am crazy for blogging but I love it! If I didn't I would bore him with all my talks about running, so this way I am half as annoying because i have ppl who run to share things with!

Mike hates having his picture taken and whenever he says something embarrassing will say, "you're not going to put that in your blog are you????" Cracks me up. But he also will get the camera and take embarrassing pictures for me "for the blog."

I don't wear lipstick, it confuses me too. I stick to lipgloss or chapstick.

food invention? Gotta go with burritos!

Bud doesn't read either of my blogs–thank God! I don't even think he would know where to find them.

I am thankful for coffee and brownies. Oh–and bread. Gotta love the bread!

My husband knows that my blog addiction is good for my mental health. So he likes it. Whatever keeps me happy!

WOOHOO! Spring break..& an early day out?! I have to admit, I'm a bit jealous ;)
I just love your whole family. I love that you are all so close. I have never had that in my family, but have always wanted it. Thankfully I am marrying into a family like yours- super close & just so loving of each other! I love that!! I just love love :)
Happy Friday!

My husband thinks it's hilarious to mess up pictures for my blog. I think he thinks I'm weird for taking so many pictures of random things.

I NEVER wear lipstick. I think I look weird with bright lips.

Sam @ Run With Sam linked to you in her blog, so I popped over to see what size salad could top a mixing bowl. Trash can wins, hands down.

And I can't get over your blog's tag line "It's rude to count people as you pass them. Out loud." HILARIOUS!!

I'm uber thankful for the invention of eggplant parm. I can never get away with making just one batch at a time.

Reply

I love that she wears that hat all the time. How fun!!!!

My spouse has always been okay with it. I'm not sure it was fully understood at first but it's obvious how much I enjoy it so it's good, ya know? Plus I don't talk about running as much since I have other people to talk about it with!!!!

I will wear lip gloss but rarely lipstick. Only when going out on a date or something.

My favorite food invention… puppy chow. Do you know what that is? Some people look at me with the strangest look sometimes. It's chex mix with chocolate and powdered sugar. I could eat a pound of it.

Lol-engineers and blogs do NOT mix. Engineers and communication do NOT mix. My bf is a chemical engineer and his attempts at blogging are…not so great!

Good to see your quad is getting better!

Your photos are darling! I love how your blog is a little glimpse into your life :)

-Boyfriend Ben thinks the blog is a bit silly…although he likes that I've started taking more pictures!
-Nope! I have a tube of chapstick in literally every desk drawer/coat pocket/purse though…
-ICE CREAM. Fro-yo is good, but sometimes I just CRAVE the real deal :)

i've worn lipstick once, i hated it. i felt like a clown. boo.

and i'm loving smoothies. even if i did just get snow on the ground last night! hah!!!

The bf gets embarrassed when I take a bunch of pictures out in pubic, especially at restaurants!

I'm a chapstick/gloss kinda girl! Although on special occasions I will bust out some lipstick.

Oh my, you really want us to turn on our thinking caps today! Hmmmm, casseroles of basically any kind, gnocci, cannolis, boston cream donuts, ice cream sandwiches.

The hubby thinks i take too much time blogging and blog stalking so i try to limit my time.

I rarely wear lipstick, usually just chapstick or some gloss if I'm feeling like i need a lil extra.

I'm thankful for super yummy fruit. I have a bunch of fruit that is ready to be eaten, woo woo. :)

Happy friday girl.

I look for your niece's hat first thing in every picture of her! I love it!

Daniel probably wants me to go ahead and start my blog that I've been planning for over a year…he is supportive and he will probably listen to me as I read my posts to him. :)

The only lipstick I have is Aveda and I love it – but I cannot do the other brands – it just doesn't look right on my face. I love some lip gloss and chapstick!

I am so thankful for nut butters and sushi today! I have my first shipment of Barney Butter arriving at my house today and I cannot wait to tear into it. I'm hoping for sushi this weekend. :)

i think it's important to carb load the entire 16 weeks of training. just saying

and i don't wear lipstick. because i look like a tramp when i do! guess i missed makeup 101 growing up…

I only wear chapstick (all the time). I hate howlipstick smells and tastes.

My boyfriend doesn't even know that I have a blog but I am sure he wouldn't mind. He has encouraged me to get one before but I think he would be creeped out once he read it.

I am thankful for hummus, guacamole, salsa, rita's, and soft pretzels

Reply

My hubs thinks blogging is stupid. I knew he would. That's why I had my blog for months before he ever knew about it. I really didn't want him or anyone else I know to find out about it, but the cat got out of the bag somehow. I really wish I'd kept it completely anonymous from the get-go so I could write more honestly. I feel like I have to censor myself sometimes now.

Lipstick is for special occasions only!

Today I'm grateful for rice! I just bought a rice cooker and OMG at the difference it makes! I always wondered why my rice I made at home didn't taste like it does in a restaurant. It does now!

My husband doesn't read my blog and thinks I am deranged (in the best way possible :-)) for feeling the need to photo-document everything. He totally doesn't get it. :-)

No lipstick, but burt's bees chapstick is a must 24-7.

I am grateful for my vitamix smoothie creations that allow me to pack in a crazy amount of spinach for breakfast without even knowing it!

I look like an absolute idiot with lipstick. But I think it looks great on other people.

I am soooo thankful for the creation of sandwiches, tacos, and reeses peanut butter cups.

My husband is weird about my blogging- he doesn't really acknowledge it and claims to not be a reader (sureeeee). I don't blog about our life, though, just books, so I guess it doesn't really have much effect on him.

LipGLOSS is the best :)

I caught the BLOG BUG when I was injured this winter for 4 months.

I love salads the size of my face, too!!! I love lipstick + shiner on top. Love it.

I am addicted to the VS lip gloss! I can't wear lipstick cause I have such skinny lips and it always looks funny! I buy the red-tinted lip gloss and love it (except how my hair sticks to my face. I don't love that part!)

I could not live without Red Mango in my life. Particularly peach flavored with gummy bears!!!

Reply

My trick for wearing lipstick is to using a lipliner in the same color so it doesn't bleed out. The last time I forgot liner I got clown lips.

I'm grateful for Cincinnati chili. Sweet chili on pasta with mounds of cheese is so good!

My husband mostly ignores my blogging. I'm really ok with that because I'm a little afraid he'd make fun of what I write. He wouldn't, I'm just self conscious.

I LOVE LASAGNA!!!!

Husband doesn't mind that I blog. But, if I put pictures on of him, he has to make sure he looks cute. Ha.
