talk talk talk talk talk
I’m a big talker. (Obviously I have a blog) But I mean like a really big talker. I usually don’t have problems expressing myself. In fact I could never successfully give the silent treatment to anyone because that would be more of a punishment for me than for the person I was trying to punish.
I don’t think I could ever run out of things to say.
Now someone like me needs to be married to someone who is the opposite of me. Which thankfully Keith is. He is more content to listen to whatever I have to say than to actually talk himself. Not that he’s a recluse (far from it) but he just isn’t a big yapper like me.
And since I am such a talker I am sure you can imagine the names I have been called. The one that sticks out in my mind is “Big Mouth”. Shocker. So imagine my surprise when to my delight my dentist actually told me I have a very small mouth. I think Keith laughed for a solid 5 minutes when I told him this.
But then Keith, always the fitness trainer at heart, came up with the theory that since my mouth is probably the most active of all my body parts it is burning the most calories (for its size) and therefore should be the smallest part of my body.
He. Is. So. Funny. Like sooooooo funny. I wonder if I could get my ass talking. Heh.
I have really tried to reign my talking in especially when I feel like I am talking waaaaay too much (ahem bookclub) but it never seems to stick. What can I say…I am a talker at heart. Oh and then there are those times when I hear my own voice on a recording and what to die.
Do I really sound like that?! All high-pitched and squeaky?
Once again this is confirmed by Keith.
But even that isn’t enough to keep me silent. I think being an Avox (hello Hunger Games) would probably be my worst nightmare. Seriously!!! That’s the part of the book that gave me the heeby jeebies!
I have some very talkative friends and when we get together…oh man…watch out! We have so much fun. Too bad talking isn’t an Olympic sport, me and my girlfriends could be in serious medal contention.
I am in awe of people who can just be silent. How do you do it?!
No wait don’t tell me. I don’t want to learn! 😉
Are you a talker? Or are you one of the quiet ones??
oh peyton
It is no secret that I am a huge Peyton Manning fan.
Huge.
And today is such a bad day for all Peyton Manning and Indianapolis Colts fans. Today Peyton Manning is being released. After not playing a single down in the entire 2011 season due to a neck injury the Colts have decided to cut Peyton due to having the number one pick in the draft. It is expected the Colts will take Stanford’s QB, Andrew Luck.
Let me be clear:
I.
AM.
NOT.
AN.
ANDREW.
LUCK.
FAN.
So I hope you’re happy Indy. You just got rid of the face of your franchise, a hall of fame quarterback and one who helped rebuild the Colts reputation and allowed you to have the clout to host a Superbowl last year. After 14 years and after so much he has done for the city of Indianapolis and for the Colts organization is it too much to expect a little loyalty?
My heart hearts.
I wanted Peyton to be one fo those players who started and ended his career with one team. Sigh.
Well I know this….#18 FOR LIFE!
Goodluck Peyton. I will cheer for you wherever you end up.
in and out of love
I have been reading blogs for years. I have a handful of old faithful blogs that I have been reading for almost 4 years. And I think that I am not alone when I say that I have fallen in and out of love with certain blogs over that time period.
Sometimes I like some blogs more than others because I am better able to relate to them at the time. Sometimes blogs make me angry or jealous and I can’t follow down the path they are going.
And sometimes I feel like blogs are like soap operas. Even when you stop reading for a week, 2 weeks or even a few months you can usually catch right back up with the blogger’s life in about 5 minutes. I am not complaining…I like it like that. There’s a reason soaps are so popular!
Sometimes I get confused what people see in certain blogs and what the appeal is? But we are all different so I guess that is what makes the world fo round.
The point is blogging is such a fun way to meet friends, get recipes, workouts and life advice. I have learned so much while at the same time I don’t agree with everything I read. Just think 10 years ago people were like blogs? What is a blog? ha!
As a blog reader, do you fall in and out of love with certain blogs? I swear it is like a relationship! ha!
a single serve cookie
Sometimes you just need a cookie.
Like really bad. Like really really bad.
That was me on Friday night. I needed a cookie.
What I didn’t need? A dozen of ass-enlarging cookies. Because you know how you dutifully place one cookie on a plate telling yourself this will do the trick. I just need one cookie. One inevitabley leads to two because really two is a real serving size for cookies. I mean everyone knows that. And then somehow by the next morning you realize 5 are missing. A quick calculation reveals that you, are in fact, the sole inhaler of those 5 missing cookies.
I know myself well.
So on Friday night when I grandly announced that I needed a cookie I knew I needed to control this situation.
I was going to make a single cookie.
In the oven.
One. Cookie. And not one the size of a quarter. A real cookie.
Keith found this highly amusing. Well excuse me mister I can eat a plateful of cookies everyday for the rest of my life and lose weight. Some of us aren’t that blessed.
I digress. Back to that One Single Cookie:
2 Tbsp. whole wheat flour
1 Tbsp. brown sugar
1/4 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. butter, softened
1/2 Tbsp. almond milk
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix everything together and place cookie on a cookie sheet sprayed with Pam. Flatten the cookie dough slightly. Bake for 10 minutes.
You can add in whatever you want too…chocolate chips, M&M’s, raisins, coconut, nuts, whatever you feel like. But the plain version is yummy too!
Oh cookie craving…I OWNED you.
And I liked it.
