Some Randoms

Currently I’m sitting next to my favorite miniature human while he sleeps and wishing my ears would pop because hi. We’re driving over Pacheco Pass. Because hi. My family decided to go to Yosemite. Because hi. I guess we just go on random weekend vacations. Because hi. Why not?

 I wore Nike shorts to the gym for the first time this week. And yes, my cellulite did cringe…and cry…and begged me not to…but I did anyway. And 25 box jumps in I thought…maybe I should have listened to my cellulite. 
I yawned 156,337,800 times this week. It might have broke a record or something. I don’t know but I kind of feel like I might be pretty awesome. I kind of feel like I might also be pretty tired.
Lately the coaches in our gym have been referring to the class that I go to as a more advanced group and I uh…kind of feel like one of the cool kids finally. Until we load our bars for the work out and mine is 1,000 pounds less than everyone else’s. So…
There’s a light on in my parents SUV. You’re welcome. 
My brother in-law just said “breast feeding has been a vocabulary word.” You’re welcome for that too. 
Love, 
The girl in the back seat sitting next to the mini human on the way to Yosemite for a random weekend vacation who also likes to use run-on sentences in her blog because it’s fun and by fun she doesn’t really mean fun, just that she can use them if she wants to cause it’s her blog. 

My no big deal boring weekend

Never in my life have I thought hey, you know what sounds fun? Working out at nine PM with a back pack strapped to my body that happens to be half the size of me.

Also. Never in my life have I thought hey, you know what sounds fun? Listening to a man only four people away  to the left vomiting on grass. 

Also. Never in my life have I thought hey, you know what sounds fun? Hearing the grumpy dude in charge tell you to drop to the ground and roll toward the left. … …

Also. Never in my life have I thought hey, you know what sounds fun? Walking. Literally all night long. With over 20 pounds on my back.

Also, never in my life have I thought hey, you know what sounds fun? Having your best friend pointedly look at you as you stare back at her with pleading eyes until she says “you’re the lightest.” And two strangers throw you over their shoulders right as you realize you’ve been betrayed. 

…K fine. I’m being slightly dramatic about that one but whatever. 

Also. Never in my life have I thought hey, you know what sounds fun? Men, just peeing in front of you with their backs turned cause they don’t care. 

…on a side note this is the second time I’ve had that particular experience and…it wasn’t any less strange the second time.  

…on another side note this is the second time I’ve had that particular experience and been a little jealous. Because girls can’t just pee whenever and wherever we want to. Our lives are just..so hard. Capeesh? 

Also. Never in my life have I thought hey, you know what sounds fun? Walking into an ink black ocean that just happens to be negative two degrees at 4 something in the morning. 

Also. Never in my life have I thought hey, you know what sounds fun? Sinking all the way up to my neck in the negative two degree ocean and proceeding to crawl out of the water. 

Also. Never in my life have I thought hey, you know what sounds fun? Having sand kicked in my face repeatedly as I crawl across the beach at  4 something in the morning. 

…For real. 
My hips are destroyed

I have a weird scrape on my side

My elbows and knees are bruised 

I actually heard my right trap muscle explode. 

It’s gone.

I checked. 

And I’m pretty sure I still have sand in my hair…or ear or belly button…I don’t know, pick one. It’s there. 

But!! Doing the goruck challenge with Silver and a few new friends was probably one of the hardest and craziest and hardest and funnest and hardest things I’ve done. 

Yeah. It was horrible. Yeah, there were times where I was questioning every life choice I’ve ever made because how the hell did I sign up for this willingly? 

But MOST of the time I was laughing until I felt like I was either going to cry or pee, or both,  and smiling and having a blast with people I enjoy being around. 

So yes, I’d do it again. Just don’t ask me to do it again this year or I will give you the ultimate side eyes. 

Love, 

The girl who lived through the Goruck…barely.
