Hey, I have followers!

I should apologize right now for not really doing anything with my blog. I’m definitely more of a lurker on the webs than I am a poster.  But, I do have random thoughts.  maybe they’ll wind up here.

ROFL!  I <3 Cthulhu.

Cthulhu vs. Godzilla
Oh you breath fire huh? That’s cool.
Umm, no I don’t really have “powers” per-se.  I just kind of am. I guess I don’t know how I would explain what I do, because I’m INDESCRIBABLE.

In honor of Bunny Day, my mom and I made carrot cake cupcakes!  It still amazes me how gourmet and &#8220;high brow&#8221; cupcakes have become.  Such an art form.  My mom brought her piping tips and we got our artsy side rockin&#8217;.  
I&#8217;ve never made carrot cake from scratch before and it was well worth the effort.  These were light and fluffy, not heavy, not overly sweet.  The walnuts were a nice touch too, added a little extra texture and cut down on the sweetness of the cream cheese frosting.  
So, Easter is over, the family has gone.  Time to settle down and watch 300.  I&#8217;m in the mood for some rock music and mostly naked hot Spartan warriors. ;)

I am feeling the need for some glittery nail polish.  Let’s hope I didn’t throw it all away years ago… :)

Sleepy time

Why is it I never want to go to bed, even when I know I’m tired?  I would totally be a night owl if I could, but getting up at 5am kinda excludes that.  So, off to bed for me.  Hrmph.

Needing a Jumpstart

I consider myself kind of fit.  Well, I used to be.  I’m a runner, I’ve run 3 marathons and soon I’ll be starting my training for another one in the fall.  Usually I train for a half marathon to run in the spring, but this year I didn’t.  Life has really gotten in my way in the last year.  I’m trying to focus on getting rid of credit card bills, and to that effect I work 2 jobs.  I’m so grateful to have a 2nd income, but some days I work 10-12 hour days and 6-day weeks.  It leaves me with little motivation and energy to take take of myself properly. 

I know, I know, clean up the diet and the energy will follow. I know this.  Following it is another matter.  It’s so amazing how the mind tricks the body.  I need to get back to tricking myself into working out, rather than out of it. 

The funny thing is, I know what my problems are, and I know my vices pretty well, so you think I could avoid them, right?  But there’s that little voice in my head that says, “You don’t need to work out today.  You don’t have time.  You work hard and you’re tired.  Why not have another cookie?  Yeah, I know that’s 150 empty calories, but it tastes goooood.”  He’s hard to ignore sometimes. 

I’m following some really inspiring people here on Tumblr, so it’s helping me get back into the right frame of mind.  So, it’s time to kick myself in the butt and get moving again.  Once those endorphins start flowing again, I’ll feel right as rain…
