I know, catchy title, right?!
Friends. I am struggling with a dilemma. I have so much I want to blog about, and not a clue where to start. I finally FINALLY have time again in my life to post more consistently…but I have so much material, I get frustrated every time I open Live Writer and end up just abandoning it all! So what do you want from me (whatdya want from meee ß adam lambert style..)?? Wedding pictures? Recipes? Random daily musings?
Back when I started this bloggy o’ mine..almost TWO WHOLE YEARS ago!!!..it basically was diary style documenting my daily eats and shenanigans. Then I got busy with work and bored with writing about my life (wake up, eat an egg sammy, go to work, have a salad, go to gym, go home, eat dinner, sleep, repeat…yadda yadda), so I started saving up posts for the SPECIAL recipes. Aka, I would go two or three weeks with no posts, because who cares that I made chili and was eating it for dinner four nights a week? But, about once a month, I could share a recipe and (sort-of) pretty pictures, and leave it at that.
Then came engagement. And wedding planning. And a new job. And wedding. And honeymoon. So, basically, a year of eating out way too much, celebrations on the weekends, going NON.STOP, and not having time to even get my oil changed (TJ EAR MUFFS!!!) let alone take and edit pictures and get creative in the kitchen.
Now, suddenly…life has returned to normal. Well…as normal as it can be?! And I feel lost here with my precious space on the internetz. I don’t know what voice I want to write with, or what content people actually care about. I think friends and family like hearing what I do with my days..and I think strangers & blog friends like the recipes…?? Maybe? Sigh. So, on that note…I will take any and all advice or opinions! And I THANK YOU with all my heart in advance.
So, since it would be extremely UN-SavoringSarah-like to post without pictures, here are my Five Friday Facts.
- Remember my hint at a new addition to the family?
Yeah, we have been having…ah-hem…issues with mice and CHIPMUNKS in our house, so we got a kitty! Her name is Addie, and she already rules the roost.
She is sweet and cuddly and I don’t know how cats seem to NEVER sleep. Holy moly. We had a cute little collar on her with a cute little bell. That lasted about….half a day.
- Have you ever heard Peter Lee Johnson? I.am.OBSESSED!!!
- I have a serious problem, and it is called “Can’t-Take-A-Serious-PhotoItis”. Yes, that is a real word and a debilitating problem, in my opinion.
Exhibit a:
Exhibit b:
Exhibit c:
Exhibits d, e, f, etc etc etc:
What the..!??! Anyone else struggle to find pictures of yourself looking nice and actually SMILING? Hmph.
- So, speaking of the aforementioned “egg sammy” and chili for dinner for months on end…I clearly have a problem where I find something I like and I do not stray until I literally cannot fathom tasting it again. Current breakfast obsession…inspired by this:
But, ummm, hello, 35 cal and 6g of sugar per tbsp, not to mention a long list of scary sounding ingredients? No shanks.
This is my version. It tastes like a straight up almond joy milk shake. Holla!
2 scoops chocolate Sun Warrior + 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk + 1.5 tsp almond extract + 1 tsp coconut extract + ice…BLEND…=
- I have been WOD’ing in a box.
Yes, I did intend for that to sound dirty. BUT you savvy folks might know exactly what I am referring to…crossfit!! TJ’s coworker Kurt dragged me to a new (the only??) crossfit gym in town, and I.am.ADDICTED!!
If you have never heard about crossfit- read more here or here. But, basically, CrossFit is a broad and inclusive program encompassing the standards you would expect; weightlifting, body weight exercises, and traditional cardio. However, $h!t gets bananas because CrossFit also calls for Olympic lifting (explosive movements that test strength, not endurance), climbing, throwing, basic tumbling, and gymnastics. It utilizes both aerobic and anaerobic energy systems. Isolation movements have no place here, the focus is on whole body, functional movements that occur in activities of daily living. Everyday is a completely different combination of moves & skillsets.
Aka. It rocks. And after every WOD (workout of the day), I want to cry/puke/be carried home. But then, by the next day, I am ready to go back for more.
ring dips. deceptively difficult.
Alright kiddos, now that you know way more than you probably wanted to about my life and the way my brain works, I am off. Got a doctor to get prodded by, I MEAN…. visit, then it is the WEEKEND!!! I hope you have a great one!!
