Klutzy

Hi! Hi!  I feel a bit jumbled right now...I kept thinking of different things that I wanted to blog about today! And sadly, I've probably forgotten most of them.

Tuesday's over!  Which means we're almost half-way through the week!  Today was a better day than yesterday...I went to the gym again!  That's twice in 4 days.  Hold the applause.  I decided to go during the middle of my day instead of after work.  It was actually a nice boost and made the rest of the day fly by!  I did an almost identical workout to Saturday's:

10 min. elliptical
20 min. lifting
10 min. treadmill

I focused on back, legs, and triceps today.  I did lat pull-downs, db squats, tricep extensions, reverse lunges, seated row, tricep pulldowns, reverse flyes.

On the way home I stopped by Tom Thumb to pick up some Almond milk and cereal.  A lot of stores now are beginning...

**Ok, had to take a break there.  This is so embarrasing!!  I was sitting here blogging and the timer went off for the cornbread.  I turned to go get it and TRIPPED OVER THE COMPUTER CORDS!  I fell and put most of my body weigh on my left are which was straightened.  Ouch!  I laid there, out of breath, and felt very dizzy...trying to decide if I'd broken it!  The stupid timer kept beeping and I thought, "I need to get it out of there before it burns!"  I got up and took that out and then felt verrry clammy and started to sweat :/  It was weird!  I was so cold!  I wrapped a blanket around me and laid on the couch till Ryan got home.  I wanted some sympathy :<  I've taken 2 Ibuprofen now and am obviously able to type :> It's very sore though when I try to bend or flex it.  I can't imagine how it'll feel tomorrow.  I feel so silly!  Oh well**

Annyways, I was saying...a lot of stores now are beginning to give you coupons along with your purchase receipt.  At Tom Thumb tonight, I got a coupon for a FREE half gallon of almond milk!  I usually buy the Almond Breeze brand but guess what brand my coupon was for?  Silk!!!  Silk makes soy milk but apparently they are now venturing into Almond milk!  I can't wait to try it!

Thank the Lord I made dinner before "the fall" tonight! ha.  The menu was: Chili, Cornbread, and Guacamole!  I really just made the guac because the avacados needed to be used.  I made chili last Monday too, for us and for my boss's family.  I'd never made it before but it's so easy!  Brown 1 lb. of 93/7 ground beef (lean-er!)  Combine that with 1 can of pinto beans, 1 can of "chili ready" diced tomatoes, and 1 packet of chili seasoning.  What could be easier?  And it's so good!  Great for a cold night like tonight. 

(pre-oven-pre fall! ha ha) we love this sweet cornbread mix!

I want to tell you guys about a FUN give-a-way!!!  Tina, over at faithfitnessfun is giving away a variety pack of Gnu Flavor & Fiber bars!  I've only tried 1 or 2 of these before and would love to win!  There are some great flavors like Espresso Chip and Cinnamon Raisin.  Go on over and enter for yourself too!  :--) I'll share the love ;>

Alllrighty then.  I think I'm gonna wrap this up and rest my poor elbow :< (and catch up my blog reading ;>) hey, no hands needed! right?

One more thing.  Make me feel better :-)  Have you ever had a bad fall?  Trip!?  Were you by yourself or in front of a big group?  Did you laugh afterwards or want to cry?  I need to know I'm not the only klutzy one!

G'night ya'll.

Thanks for the love :)I hope your arm is okay. I can't think of a specific fall right now, but I am a HUGE klutz so you're not alone.

Tripping oh yes...I have worn my fair share of high heels and caught a curb or a crack and gone splat. Not pretty, but hey, it's life :)

Well, this "fall" isn't totally my fault but it's a funny story...When I was in high school, I was at a 311 concert and decided to crowdsurf. I think it was only my second time. I made it to the front of the crowd without getting groped inappropriately or anything :P The big bouncer guy at the front grabbed me to lift me down, but when I fell off the top of the crowd and onto the floor, all of a sudden my shirt was pulled halfway off my head! The bouncer had grabbed my SHIRT instead of ME, so when I fell, he held onto the shirt and it came most of the way off! I pulled it back down and stood up and ran away as fast as I could...haha, oh, to be sixteen again.

Yes, I slipped and fell walking outside of our office when it was in Richardson. I didn't think anybody saw me until I looked and saw my co-worker Robin trying not to laugh...sometimes you just have to laugh :)
