Day 181, 182, 2012

Happy Thursday Dingleberries,

How many of you caught today's Monkey Butt post?  Thanks for the comments on it so far.  He really is an awesome artist to be able to draw like that and seems like he lives a pretty cool blog with the things he shares.  Cool stuff.

Po Po Pokey wasn't feeling very well this morning, tugged on my heart strings and I called the boss to beg him  to let me bring her in to work with me, at least for a bit.  It worked.  we hung out at work until 12ish, only lost about 3 hours of work this week that way.  It didn't hurt quite as bad when I printed my paycheck anyways.  She's feeling better.  I'm glad!

So let's move on to what everyone is dying to hear.

Day 181
July 4th, 2012

I got my Peachtree Road Race 2012 t-shirt! 

Let me add, it was a fun race.  I wasn't quite as worried once it started about dying so much.  Which has to be a good sign. I was worried for a few minutes, because I thought I was having some of that reoccurring coughing thing.  I didn't cough once while I was running. Yays!

My aunt tells me she's so proud of my time for this race.  I can't say I finished on top or even in that good of time . There was no way I could RUN 6.2 miles.  I haven't trained AT ALL you know!  So I jogged, according to my pedometer I was only going like 3.6 mph.  Terrible I think, but whatever. 

I think I've come up with I did this as the accomplishment for quitting smoking. I actually enjoyed  it a little too. I think I want to do some more and after seeing all the kids and the wonderful experience. I'm considering putting Pokey in next year with me.  It will affect my timing, but that's OK!  It will be fun.... I think.

It really was a life altering event that I will definitely be joining again. Plus some others are coming up soon as well, some that I think Pokey would fit into.  If I can talk her into it that is!  

So there ya have it.  I did it.  You can strike through all that last will and testament thing I did, for now.  I must say that a day later, I feel really  terrible.  my legs hurt sooo bad, this is why you train for a run like that. OK OK so I don't always make the best of sense!  Also, I did something to my toe.  I think possibly I managed to stub my toe nail down under the skin... I don't know, but very painful muscles and 3 blisters and this toe nail thing is really taking it's toll on me!  lol. GO figure right?!  Like a lion with a brier or something.  UGH

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR ALL THE LOVELY WORDS, THOSE OF MOTIVATION AND THOSE WELL WISHINGS.  I LOVE YOU GUYS, YOU JUST DON'T KNOW!

I DID IT AND YOU CAN ALL BE PROUD BECAUSE YOU HELPED PUSH ME THERE!

Day 182,
July 5th, 2012

Well we've gone all day with some heat from hell.  Nothing new there!  Now it's POURING the rain.  With lightening and thunder and awfulness. Just glad Pokey isn't awake (and doesn't wake up) because she will have a fit over this one.  She always does!

Girl hates some storms and if they have their way (the storms that is) it will keep me up all night.  ha ha.

So I'mma wrap this one up, with one last thing... hehe.. Enjoy!



Hang in there!

Day 180, 2012

Happy Tuesday again Dingleberries,

Did everyone check out this weeks music post?  Hopefully we all enjoyed it, I thought it went well considering. 

What I'm doing today though, because I think it's morbidly funny, I will share with you my last will and testament. Just in case I manage to croak tomorrow on the Peachtree Road Race.  Nothing says being prepared and being prepared.  Let's just say those words don't really go well with me.  I'm not prepared more of the time, for much of anything! 

I, Monkey Butt, do hereby declare this my final will and testament, replacing any and all other final wishings of mine.  Being of sound body and mind, do hereby leave my collections as follows:

• I wish to leave my Nirvana Cd's and scrap bookings, t-shirts and any and all writings and or books pertaining to the band to Tim over at Blast from the Past.
• I do hereby leave my collection of Converse shoes, all 13 pairs to the first blogger who comments with the same converse shoe size of 6.
• The oh so lovely, 97 Toyota Camry, white color, called "Tina" to my first born, Pokey.
• Said old ass car that hasn't ran in 7 years, 91 Ford Mustang.  That's tough, I've always loved that car.  sadly it's just sitting, rotting,or rustin rather.  Who has the time? Or the energy? 
• MY BOOKS!  I want someone who genuinely love reading to take my books, if no one, then donate them.  Everyone should have a good read.

That pretty much wraps up that list, any and all other items of mine be divided out to whom ever wants them.

Yes you read that right, at this point, Monkey Butt doesn't have much.  But I love the things I have and I love everyone in my life, including each and every one of you!  So if I don't make it, ya'll know where I stand on the things I do own.

Tuesday, July 3rd

Wish me luck tomorrow my dearies, (I've got to be there at like 6.... ugh)

Hang in there!

Music For a Tuesday: Training Time

Happy Tuesday Dingleberries,

Seems only fitting considering tomorrow  is the Peachtree Road Race. An interesting way to spend my 4th of July this year.  Must admit I've suffered through some heat before, but this will be a different way of doing so. I'm worried and excited all at the same time. It should be a lot of fun and as my uncle puts it an accomplishment anyways.  Pending I live through it. 


My aunt, uncle, cousin and his girlfriend is also participating this year. I won't be running/walking with them, but it's good to know I'm not the only crazy person in the family.  Crazy is the wrong word, cause my whole family is crazy.  Some a little more than others, but it's why we all get along  (most of us) so well together. What's the saying "Ya don't have to be crazy to work here, but it  helps"  Something like that, only it's not about work!  haha..

Enjoy your Tuesday and jam with Rocky!

Hang in there!

Another weekend, 2012

Well it's Monday again dear Dingleberries,

Sitting here watching/listening to some Family Guy. Saw my television shows earlier, Hell's Kitchen and Master Chef.  Again, watching those shows make me want to cook something.  Had some awesome BLT and pasta salad for dinner tonight, with hopes of having it for lunch tomorrow as well.

Did I mention to you guys that we had the bacon sundae a week or so ago. If so, forgive me for repeating it, but it was taaasty!  Bacon, Ice cream, Chocolate, Caramel. OMG... Burger King got something right! 

BK Bacon Sundae?  Tried it yet?

Moving along, I need to share some of this weekends photos. Beware I've got an updater kind of blog going on tonight. 

Day 169,
Friday, June 22nd

Day 170,
Saturday, June 23rd

So most of you heard me babble for a few days about the super awesome camping trip for the weekend?  Well let me just tell you, that DID NOT WORK OUT!  My aunt and uncle took off out of town earlier in the day to get the campsite.  Yea well, apparently there was an event going on and EVERYTHING was packed for the weekend. Bummer!

Instead, we spent the weekend at Mama and Papa Monkey Butts house doing some home improvement stuffs. Mama Monkey Butt's allergies have been on the warpath and she had to have to carpet pulled up in the computer/spare bedroom.  Got it done and it looks pretty good, if ya ask me. No one ever does though!

Day 171,
Sunday, June 24th

Still bummed about the lack of camping. I was really looking forward to one last something before the big move. Now I'm still broke in need of a hair cut oh so badly. Thinking about diving into my tattoo savings for ta hair cut. I hate that idea though. I'm sure it's more important than scarring my skin with more ink ;)  Thoughts?



Day 172,
Monday, June 25th

 Monday's suck ass. I slacked off on my sleep this weekend.  With helping the parents and running back and forth to their house. Let me just say it will be soooo awesome when we get moved and I don't have to run up and down the highway to visit the parents. 

Now I've torn with something... I live in the city I work in right now. I've been with my current employer for like 7 years and I'm totally ready for a change. Though I've no idea what that might be!  soooo, what I'm wondering or pondering.. Since I'm moving, back, should I finally give in and find a  job closer to my new (old) home? Relocate my whole life? 

OoOoOo I finally found time to watch "Water For Elephants" this weekend. Saturday night actually and was up way too late doing so.  Guess that's why I'm so tired this week.  It was lovely.  I was really worried about it to begin with, because I was scared that they wouldn't be able to make it as awesome as the book.  You, well most of you know how I feel about the Twilight Sage, for those who are new. I fraking love the Twilight saga. There I said it!  The movies don't really do the books any justice. Call me silly but i loved love loved the books.  They're the only reason I got sucked into the  teeny bopper vampire movies that made me sick at first sight!  I love them now, every night when every one is already in bed, I'm scanning the guide channel to see if they're on. I'm not picky! I'll watch any of the 4 already out, over and over again!

Back to what I was saying ....

I was scared that Rob was going to bomb the Jacob character. He's absolutely adorable and all, but there are moments when I think he could do better.  He's still a yungen. We'll see.  For those who aren't sure, give it a shot. It's a lovely love story! 

Also, for those on the post card campaign. I got all of the post cards in the mail. I was sweating it there for a bit.  The post man confused me, thinking next time I will have to hit another post office.  I know some of you received them already, I'm glad.  I didn't write a return address on those, it didn't seem to be a spot for it, so if anyone needs it, hit up my email kcdoe27 (at) hotmail (dot) com. 

THE PEACHTREE ROAD RACE IS NEXT WEEK!  I'm not ready, I''' probably die of a heart a stoke trying to push 10 miles out of my fat arse.  UGH!! 

There ya have it, if ya made it this far. Thanks.. Have an awesome day tomorrow!

Hang in there!

Have a run but first have a walk....

Sometimes I make my own self proud. I was more shocked than anything this morning.  Shocked that I didn't chicken out and stunned that I didn't forget.  That seems to be my thing these days!!

So for starters.. I registered myself in the Peachtree Road Race lottery this morning. GO ME!  GO ME! GO ME!   This is really cool to me. I'm hoping I'm one of the sixty thousand people randomly chosen. I'm worried only because:

• I've no times to give them from other runs/walks. It didn't say this was a problem, it just helped determine your wave.
• I didn't donate anything

Registration runs until the 22nd of March and notification emails will be sent out on the 26th.  I hope I'm chosen. I think a few of my lady friends are going to  sign up as well. I hope we all make it! And I hope we all make the same wave ::fingers crossed:: !!!

In other related news... My lady friend and  I have started a team for the walk for ms.  It's all exciting news this lovely spring days we're having!   I'm loving it.  The warm weather. It's making life so much happier for me, lolz.  Funny how weather can do that huh?

So in this news, yerp, we've signed up as a team and are recruiting a few folks.  Trying to fundraiser about 250 bucks for this one. So if any of you dear Dingleberries are interested in donating anything, please feel free. It's for MS and as most of you already know, my Mom also suffers with MS. It's in remission right now and we've other battles to work through, but it does affect many many people. GO ahead, donate a little, donate a lot. We'll take what we can get. Get active, sign up for a walk.  It's going to be AWESOME!!!


CLICK HERE TO DONATE 

Have an awesome day Dingleberries, hang in there!

Day 67 and 68, 2012



Tuesday, March 13th



Wednesday, March 14th


















Happy Wednesday Dingleberries, I'm quite proud of myself for posting a few random tid bits of postings the past few days. Of course I didn't get back online last night and post Tuesdays post.  Friggn typical of my day I guess. In my defense I was pretty tired for some odd reason last night.  So I'm using that excuse.

SO some random thoughts for today.. 

• You know I've given up on my damn Run for the cure thoughts.  Yalls remember I wanted to do the run for breast cancer, the three day thing. Turns out people who are broke arses like me and can't afford health insurance can't sign up. Sucks but hey that's just how it goes I guess. So now I want to embark on the Peachtree Road Race.  Sounds awesome and  it's only like 6.5 miles or something. There is also an Atlanta Track Club I'm thinking about joining.  All this running stuff, has me pretty excited.  I was reading on there today they have Jr races as well. I wish I could get Pokey motivated enough to do some of this with me. We took off on foot yesterday for a walk around the neighborhood and her ADD kicked in and she just wanted to go home. Girl doesn't have ADD by the way! <3
• It's Pi day.  I'm sure you all saw my post earlier about that. Who would have thought they would dedicate a day for the math league's.  Awesome! I suck at math!
• There's more, I know there is......
• Tomorrow is Thursday and I'm scared  it's going to be one  of those shitty post again. I think I'm running out of Monkeys :/
• I think peanut butter is the source of my stomach problems as of late. Think it could also be a cause of my fattness? 

The weather  is changing here. We're hitting the and close to the 80s like everyday. Sure there are chances  of rain like all the time, but still. 80 DEGREES! That is soooooo awesome. I love love love love warm weather. Damn I can't wait for summer.... 

I went running yesterday in my fivefingers and OMG was it awesome!! So So So awesome.. Very cool running shoes and would definitely recommend to anyone else who wants to pick em up.  Love em!!!

If I'm bored all day today then I think I could be spending a lot of time with you today dear blogger.. :)  but Im going to leave you all with this today because the sun shine up front is making my brain not work and only thinking about that lovely sunshine!!!
