Time again for Not Me! Monday.
In case you haven't been introduced to Not Me! Monday, yet, here are a few details. This fun game originated with MckMama. Here are the rules to playing, but in sum, you just list a lot of things you "didn't" (read: actually did) do this weekend/past week. All in the name of admitting that we all make mistakes and aren't perfect.
Saturday, during my long run, I certainly did not, stop running, duck behind a cluster of trees, and use the bathroom (#2 bathroom!!). This was not right next to some kids' blunt wraps and empty beer cans. It was not a complete emergency and waiting until the trail stop was totally not possible!!
Okay...That's all for the week. Although there are certainly more, nothing!! lives up to having to make an emergency pit stop in the woods during a two hour run. (I once read an article about runners embarrassing moments, and one of them said - if you've never taken a poop on a run, you aren't a real runner, well---guess I passed that threshold!)
What didn't you do this past week?

Not Me! Monday
It's been a looooonnnnngggg time since I did a "Not Me! Monday" and believe me, I have a lot saved up.
In case you haven't been introduced to Not Me! Monday, yet, here are a few details. This fun game originated with MckMama. Here are the rules to playing, but in sum, you just list a lot of things you "didn't" (read: actually did) do this weekend/past week. All in the name of admitting that we all make mistakes and aren't perfect.
So, here we go....
I clearly did not have a colossal freak out at work on what happened to be Douch Bag Wednesday (less formerly known as DB-dub) when the following happened... First, my boss hung up his phone in the middle of a teleconference simply because he did not want to hear what we were telling him. An hour later, he called me to tell me that our consultant emailed him to state that "my work was subpar and I was compromising the project." My response was that the consultant could take over the task himself, since clearly he did not like the way I was doing it. My boss did not tell me that I was being unprofessional. You want to talk about unprofessionalim?!?!?!?!!?! How about that meeting you just hung up on or the way you nasty-gramed me this morning. Neither of which are "professional." It did not take every fiber of my being for me to not tell my boss to shove his hippocratic, self-entitled, douchebag ways.
I didnot soothe myself with hershey kisses and chocolate covered raisins. I would never ever use chocolate to make myself feel better.
Over the past month or so, I have certainly not peed outside on more than half a dozen occasions. It has certainly not become common for me to stop mid run, hide behind a tree, drop trough, and continue jogging like that was totally normal.
I did not give my cat a bath. I do not have multiple scratches from this experience. I do not blame my mother.
I did not take a mental health day and then a mental health morning from work. Getting out of bed to get to that job is not becoming more difficult by the day.
I am not typing this post while sitting in my undies & sipping a glass a wine. I am not relishing having the house 100% to myself (besides my cat).
I did not spend 40 dollars on an alpaca fur teddy bear. It was not totally self indulgent but totally worth it. (I certainly couldn't have used that money for some new work pants that actually fit me).
I have not shopped at Target at least twice a week for the last month. I certainly do not know why I keep going back- except that a store that sells 20 dollar shoes and bags of hershey kisses in the same place totally gets me.
I did not wear a white dress to a Mother-to-be-Tea thinking it would be an excellent idea. I did not spill tea all over it.
I have not totally and completely missed blogging and all of my blog ladies. and I do not promise to catch up on everything soon.

Boy and I did not have the best time with Caleb at the zoo! I did not totally enjoy playing family for the day. And did not seriously consider taking him home with us.
(a pic of Boy and Caleb feeding the ducks--except I didn't get any ducks in the picture--ill have to work on that!)

Not Me Monday!
I haven't done a Not Me! Monday in awhile, but I've been saving up some good ones.
This past week...
I certainly did not drop a tampon out of my pocket at a restaurant on my way to the restroom. Upon my return, I did not watch the waiter, bend over to pick it up, realize what it was, hesitate, and then say, "ooooohhhhh noooooo." Certainly not.
While in Venice I most definitely did not have a gluten attack in the middle of a museum tour. I was not pacing back and forth, sweating, waiting for the feeling to go away while doubled over in pain. I was definitely not the last person up the stairs and to the bathroom. I did not have to approach the woman at the front of the line and explain that, this was, in fact, an emergency, and could I please step in front of her. I did not have to wait what felt like an eternity until one of the stalls opened up, the entire time speaking broken Italian to the bathroom attendant trying to explain that if that stall did not open up in less than 2 minutes, it was going to be bad. No, that did not happen to me at all.
Last week at work, I clearly did not let another tampon fall out of my pocket in the middle of the hallway as I passed two coworkers chatting. When I walked down the hallway five minutes later, I did not see that little treasure sitting in the middle of the hallway, like a souvenir of my embarrassment since surely the coworkers saw me drop it, but weren't sure how to deal with that situation. Nope, not me.
And finally, in the midst of pmsing and day drinking, I did not beg Boy to drive me to the store to buy chocolate. I did not eat a king size Hershey bar. and I certainly did not finish it off with Sour Patch Kids. Nope, not me at all.
What didn't you do last week?!

A Special Thursday Edition of Not Me! Monday
Welcome to a Special Thursday edition of Not Me! Monday. This just deserved a post all on its own and one of those things that would only happen to me.
This entire story, most definitely DID NOT happen to me:
So, I was off work yesterday and so was my dad and we decided to enjoy the nice weather and take a bike ride on the local trail. I was really looking forward to a long and intense cross-training workout and had planned on making it about an hour and a half long ride. About 30 minutes in, my dad decides he is going to head back home, so I continue to the end of the trail by myself.
Less than a minute later, my bike feels really funny, so I stop to take a look at it. Something was wrong with my back tire so that part of it was swollen and ballooning over the rim. Every time the fat part of the tire got back around to the frame of the bike, it struggled to make it through. So, I got back on my bike and said to myself, "This tire isn't going to last long, I better turn around and try and catch my dad to see if he has a patch kit."
...and then POP! My entire tire blew out. Like, not like, oh a tiny little hole, the entire tire was separated from the rim and tube. F*CK. Luckily I had my cell phone, so I called my house, and left a message for my dad to come get me when he got back.
But, I was pissed. My workout had been cut really short and I wasn't going to just sit on the side of the trail until my dad came back with his car. and this is where the story gets interesting.
I decided to run with my bike as far as I could until my dad called me back. Let me paint a picture for you of what this looked like.
1. I was wearing my bike shorts, which are basically spandex with a seat cushion, which really only serves to make my ginormous butt look even bigger.
2. I wear my hair in two low pigtails when i ride b/c a helmet won't fit over a pony-tail.
3. I have grease all over my hands, shirt and face, from messing with my bike chains.
4. I am running...with a bike next to me! I have no balance to begin with, but with this contraption, I was all over the place.
It was truly ridiculous, and every bike rider I passed (very graciously) asked if I was okay, so they got a close-up of my absurd attire.
I mean, I would never leave the house looking like this and would never decide to run with a bike... these are just things a self-respecting girl doesn't do, right?!

Not Me! Monday
I've missed a few Not Me! Monday's, so hopefully this week will make up for the lack of sarcasm.
In case you haven't been introduced to Not Me! Monday, yet, here are a few details. This fun game originated with MckMama. Here are the rules to playing, but in sum, you just list a lot of things you "didn't" (read: actually did) do this weekend/past week. All in the name of admitting that we all make mistakes and aren't perfect.
This past week...
(I work on the third floor of my building. When I'm being lazy I take the elevator down). I did not walk into the elevator push "3" (when I was on level three) and then get pissy with the elevator because it wasn't going down to level 1. It did not take me more than 30 seconds to realize I was on level 3 and needed to push level 1. I did not do this twice in one day.
I did not do a happy wiggle dance when I was able to buy jeans in a pant size I have not seen for quite some time. =)
I certainly did not buy the same exact shirt in ten different colors from the gap. I have WAY more fashion sense than that and would never do something like that.
I also most definitely did not spend an EXORBITANT amount of money on a pair of sandals for Italy. I did not justify this purchase by telling myself that the money would be worth it since they were the only pair I could find that were practical, yet cute (and did not look like either something my mother or father would wear).
What didn't you do?!

Not Me! Monday
Have a bad week?
Do so many ridiculous things you can't even remember them all?
Then "Not Me! Monday" is the perfect free therapy for you!

This past week...
I certainly did not cry during Biggest Loser when Kristin saw her hubby after her makeover. I am not totally invested in the show and would never let a stranger's life affect me like that.
While running intervals on the treadmill (during the prime 5-6 oclock hour) my towel did not fall off the top part, it did not land straight onto the mill, and I certainly did not step directly on top of it and fling it off my back heel onto the person elicpitcalling behind me. Nothing like that would ever happen to me and I was not totally mortified that my sweaty towel slapped a fellow Gold's gym member. I will not be surprised when he writes me a "dear fellow gym member" letter.
While camping this weekend, I clearly did not pee beside my car and when I couldn't find the hand sanitizer in the dark, I did not decide that hand washing isn't a necessity in the wilderness. I did not do this several times. It is not totally disgusting and way gross.
I did not stay up into the wee hours of the morning Saturday night dancing around the bonfire and splashing my drink everywhere. I did not nap and eat gross hangover foods all day Sunday. I did not secretly enjoy my super lazy Sunday. When I asked Boy what he felt like, he did not reply "a three-toed sloth." I did not fall off the couch laughing hysterically!
How was your week? Did you gross out a fellow gym member too? Maybe you even walked into a shut door. Whatever you "didn't" do-- now is the time to share!

Not Me! Monday
And now back to our regularly scheduled programing. After taking last Monday off from Not Me! Monday, I am back in action. In case you haven't been introduced to Not Me! Monday, yet, here are a few details. This fun game originated with MckMama. Here are the rules to playing, but in sum, you just list a lot of things you "didn't" (read: actually did) do this weekend/past week. All in the name of admitting that we all make mistakes and aren't perfect.
This past week..
I did not make it my Lenten goal to go to church every weekend. I did not only make it 3 times (including Easter). =(
I certainly did not fall asleep at 9 pm on Friday night. Boy and I are young and vibrant and in the prime of our lives. I would never fall asleep that early on a weekend.
I did not have a near panic attack at my grandma's house yesterday because everyone in my family likes to talk at once and not only is the noise deafening, it makes me really anxious. I did not numb my anxiety with half a bottle of wine and six chocolate eggs.
My mother did not buy Cheeto (my indoor cat) a harness and leash so he could run around the backyard while she was doing yardwork. Cheeto did not hate every minute of it and refuse to be walked around like a dog. He did not sit down in the middle of the yard and not budge until I picked him up and ended the debacle. It was not entirely hysterical!
I certainly did not get yelled at in church Sunday morning for talking with my sister BEFORE mass even started. I did not let this woman make me feel like I was ten years old.
(This was absolutely ridiculous! I was telling my sister how to get her gluten free communion while the choir was singing as they always do before mass on Easter. The lady behind us rolled up her song sheet and hit me on the arm and screeched, "I can't hear the service!" [I'm pretty sure she meant the choir] but...EVERYONE else in the church was still filtering in and saying hello and greeting family and friends. I was baffled and humiliated and it was completely ridiculous. The woman was only in her 40s or 50s, its not like she was a batty 80 year old that you would expect this out of. After she hit me, I just turned around and almost died. I mean...what could I say, "Listen, "B*tch. I'm an adult. You don't admonish another adult like that. A polite, "ladies could you keep it down, id like to hear the choir," would have worked. You don't need to wack me with a song sheet." I mean--we were in church, it wasn't the time for my snarky side to come out. But still---the whole thing was utterly ridiculous!)
Okay, that is about all for this week. Anything you didn't do this past week?

Not Me! Monday
Time for another dose of free therapy...in the form of Not Me! Monday. In case you haven't been introduced to Not Me! Monday, yet, here are a few details. This fun game originated with MckMama. Here are the rules to playing, but in sum, you just list a lot of things you "didn't" (read: actually did) do this weekend/past week. All in the name of admitting that we all make mistakes and aren't perfect.
I did not put both contact lenses in the same chamber one night. I did not wake up and wonder where my right contact had ran to in the middle of the night. They were not stuck together and my eyes were not super dry all day long. I am NOT totally disheveled and "that always forgetful friend."
I am not getting royally screwed over by my graduate program who is forcing me to stay an extra semester for ONE CREDIT. I did not have a miserable meltdown after finding out this news and over exaggerate by claiming they were ruining my entire life. I did not wash down my tears with a margarita.**
(Intro: Boy and I have our own blankets in bed because I am a notorious blanket stealer). So, Boy did not have the brilliant idea to "try and share one blanket tonight." Within one hour I did not steal all of the blankets so that boy was shivering by himself! haha!
So, lovely ladies, what didn't you do last week?
**I'm still fighting the staying for an extra semester thing, but it's going to be a long battle. I NEED TO GRADUATE. In all honestly, I can't help being exceptionally upset about this. Boy and I talk about getting engaged after I graduate (not immediately, but you know) and when i got this news my first thought was that it delayed getting engaged and then married to Boy. I haven't told anyone that part, but it's the deepest reason that I am upset. I know its irrational and girly, but I want to begin the next phase of my life...
This past week I did not do a series of completely stupid things this week (I do not blame it on pms).:
My phone DID NOT go off in class. It was not utterly embarassing and totally awful. I did not feel like a complete asshole and really childish at the same time.On Tuesday, I certainly did not drive right past my exit for work. like-- right by it. I am not scared that I am turning into a crazy cat lady that has lost her mind and can't even get herself to work in the morning.

Not Me! Monday
Time for another dose of free therapy...in the form of Not Me! Monday. In case you haven't been introduced to Not Me! Monday, yet, here are a few details. This fun game originated with MckMama who is quite the busy woman! Here are the rules to playing, but in sum, you just list a lot of things you "didn't" (read: actually did) do this weekend/past week. All in the name of admitting that we all make mistakes and aren't perfect.
This past week...
I did not stalk all music festival websites praying for a great lineup. I was not sorely disappointed by the lack of good bands.
My car did not break 100,000 miles this week. I did not pull over on the side of the road to capture the moment with my camera.
I did not laugh hysterically (like more than anyone else in the theater) and at a certain scene in "I Love You, Man." (in the scene the girl's girlfriends were analyzing the history of her sex life with her fiance while the fiance (who was totally appalled) was listening in. A totally girl thing to know all those details and chat about it).
I did not attend a work luncheon where my snarky boss was not totally lively, jovial, and entertaining in front of the CEO, CFO, and President. It would not let his two-sidedness annoy me that much.
Ok, kinda lame this week, I know. But--liven it up with stories from what you didn't do last week?

My car did not break 100,000 miles this week. I did not pull over on the side of the road to capture the moment with my camera.
I did not laugh hysterically (like more than anyone else in the theater) and at a certain scene in "I Love You, Man." (in the scene the girl's girlfriends were analyzing the history of her sex life with her fiance while the fiance (who was totally appalled) was listening in. A totally girl thing to know all those details and chat about it).
I did not attend a work luncheon where my snarky boss was not totally lively, jovial, and entertaining in front of the CEO, CFO, and President. It would not let his two-sidedness annoy me that much.
Ok, kinda lame this week, I know. But--liven it up with stories from what you didn't do last week?

Not Not Me! Monday
I'm skipping Not Me! Monday this week. My Saturday was ridiculous enough without adding a bunch of "nots" in front of it.
So, as I posted about on Friday, I had month long plans with girlfriends to spend the day at the Spa at Hotel Hershey. I had to drive separately because I was driving to Boy's parents house Saturday night, which is in the opposite direction of home. So, Saturday morning, us girls hit the road in two cars to head up to Hershey, Pennsylvania to celebrate one of the girl's recent engagement. So far, so good.
About a half hour outside of Hershey my car starts making a tinkering noise. (My car is a 10 year old Ford-piece of shit- that I have spent more on repairs on than I bought the car for). I thought this was odd, so called the other car and we pulled off I-83. Right after we pulled off, my car died and the power steering went out (this has happened before). I restarted it and was able to get it into a gas station. Pissed. Looking around the car I can't find anything. Then, smoke starts pouring out of my hood. Not Good. I pop my hood and there is this gross slimy green substance that has exploded all over the insides. The smoke is disgusting. I figure a hose may have burst, but I can't find any obvious holes. Annoyed. I call my father (my car care knowledge was exhausted by this point). He suggests calling an auto repair place in the area and seeing if they can look at it. On a Saturday. And I am an hour away from anything familiar to me.
After literally 6,000 phone calls to the 6,000 auto repair shops in the local yellow pages I found a Ford dealer that could squeeze me before they closed for the day, I think my sobbing into the phone about being from out of town helped. Next, I needed to find a tow truck. The 500 calls I made were not helpful. Thankfully, the woman at the gas station's son knew someone who had a tow truck that was able to pick up my car. This whole process took about 1.5 hours, a huge headache and a melt down about halfway through. I was so stressed I was shaking and naseaus.
Finally, my car was towed and taken to the repair shop. The shop said my radiator had gone up and they were able to replace it same day and I could just pick my car up later. (Very good news, considering). I was in constant contact with the shop throughout the spa (really un-relaxing). The whole thing was a huge inconvenience to a bunch of people and involved cutting our spa day short.
We got there late, rushed through lunch, and were rushed into our appointments. Since we had to get back to the repair shop before it closed, we rushed out of there after our appointments to pick up my car. It sucked. I go to the spa once a year and like to make it a day long thing--totally indulging and relaxing. Because of me and my shitty car, I rushed my pals through their spa day and we didn't even get to gush about the engagement. I considered skipping my spa appointment and sending the girls without me, but I couldn't cancel my appointment without being charged the entire fee and if I was spending that much money, I damn well was getting a massage. The whole thing, was just totally shitty and not how I wanted to spend my "relaxing day."
I can say, however, that the massage was PHENOMENAL. It was the best I've ever had and utter bliss for the entire 80 minutes. It just completely sucks that the bliss of that day was surrounded by such complete stress.
So, in honor of not me monday, all in all, My car does not suck, and I didnot slightly ruin the completeling relaxing day I had planned. What didn't you do this week?

Not Me! Monday
Time for another dose of free therapy...in the form of Not Me! Monday. In case you haven't been introduced to Not Me! Monday, yet, here are a few details. This fun game originated with MckMama who is quite the busy woman! Here are the rules to playing, but in sum, you just list a lot of things you "didn't" (read: actually did) do this weekend/past week. All in the name of admitting that we all make mistakes and aren't perfect.
This past week...
I did not throw a pillow at the T.V. at the end of two hours of "Biggest Loser." I was not super pissed about the "To Be Continued" ending.
I clearly did not register for the Baltimore Marathon in October and then nearly throw up with anxiety moments afterward. I am not incredibly nervous about this challenge!
I did take a bottle of wine to the face after my statistics exam Thursday night. It was not an hour and a half of horrible statistic-ness. I am not dreading getting my grade back. =(
I certainly did not forget that we had snow on Monday and that my running trail would be muddy on Saturday. I did not go for an hour long run in the mud and play around like a 10 year old boy. I certainly did not let a stranger's Labrador jump all over me with his muddy paws. I did not relish every minute of it!
I did not look in four different grocery markets for my favorite Easter candy, Cadbury Mini Eggs. I did not squeal with excitement when I found them! (Please do not judge the fact that I have a favorite candy for each Holiday, including Easter. I know I have an obsession, I'm working on it).
and I did not eat half a container of Ben and Jerry's pishfood last night. It was not totally worth every bite!!
What didn't YOU do last week?
Oh, and on another note, we bought Boy's nephew a playdough set with all the accessories and a floor "Cars" puzzle! Thanks for all the suggestions!

This past week...
I did not create a vision board of wedding dresses, colors, places, and accessories because I was excessively menstrual and couldn't control myself. Nope, I would never plan my wedding when I wasn't even engaged. Absolutely not!
I did not laugh hysterically when my cat got into my post-it notes and had them stuck all over his face. Instead of helping him out and taking the post-its off, I did not search for my camera to capture the moment.
I certainly did not give myself a pep talk in the bathroom before my re-scheduled performance review. Talking to one's self is really weird and I would never pep myself up to handle my egotistical and ass-hole like boss.
I did not just dance with glee when I found out my university is closed for the day due to snow!! I will not jump immediately back into bed and relish my snow day after I post this.
Due to my new obsession with Biggest Looser, I did not get myself to push through a workout by telling myself it was my "last chance workout." I am fully aware I am not on this show and I would never pretend Jillian was there pushing me.
On another note, I did not scarf down hershey kisses like a feen right after this completely negating the workout. Chocolate is killing me!!!
As always, feel free to post about what you didn't do this weekend!

All in the name of admitting that we all make mistakes and aren't perfect.
This past week...
I did not pay to get my hair cut and was unhappy with the cut so I had my sister cut it the way I wanted it. Nope, I have more gumption than that, so that if I didn't like the hair cut at the salon I would have certainly said something.
I did not eat an excessive amount of chocolate this weekend. I would not let PMS get to me like that. =(
I certainly did not nearly drool over the gluten free cinnamon bun that I bought from a delicious gluten free bakery. It was not unbelievably fabulous and I did not lick the plate afterward.
I did not dress extra professionally the day I had my performance review at work only to have my performance review pushed back a week. I certainly did not get pissy that I wasted my perfectly constructed outfit on nothing important.
I did not stay out until 3:00 am on Saturday night and then sleep half of the day on Sunday, causing me to not get done any homework. Nope, I realize that I am not in college anymore and I certainly prioritize better than that.
I most certainly did not make up a lie to tell the pet groomer about why I was late bringing in my cat. And that lie clearly did not involve something along the lines of, "my kids were running all over the house this morning and I couldn't get them under control." Since I do not have any kids, I would never make up some random lie like this, especially since the pet groomer didn't even care. This lie did not just randomly burst out of my mouth for no good reason at all.
That's it for this week's edition of not me Monday. As always, please play along!

Not Me! Monday
Just another Manic Monday...
But, on this Monday, like all other Mondays, we play...Not Me! Monday. In case you haven't been introduced to Not Me! Monday, yet, here are a few details. This fun game originated with MckMama who is quite the busy woman! Here are the rules to playing, but in sum, you just list a lot of things you "didn't" (read: actually did) do this weekend/past week. All in the name of admitting that we all make mistakes and aren't perfect.
This past week...
I did not have a fabulous weekend with Boy gallivanting amongst the West Virginia mountains, browsing through boutique shops, hippie craft stores, and wine cellars. I certainly did not drink an excessive amount of wine, and spoil myself with chocolate. I was not totally self-indulgent this weekend. I did not get exactly what I wanted (sex, chocolate and massages). *wink*
I definitely did not have a secret smile when I typed in my actual weight on the treadmill because I was proud of the poundage I lost!
I clearly did not slam my pen into my desk because the new statistical software I am learning wasn't behaving properly. No, it certainly wasn't my fault and I certainly have way more patience than that.
I most certainly did not convince Boy to browse through the cutest baby shop with me. I was not so in awe of the adorable outfits that I wanted to purchase for my newly and secretly pregnant best friend. I did not almost burst at the seems and gush to Boy that best friend is pregnant. (Once I can tell him, I'll need to explain that it wasn't MY baby itch keeping me in the store, but my "ohmygoodness I can't wait to spoil this kid" itch).
I did not drink four cups of tea and three sodas on Thursday so I could make it through work and into my 7:10 to 9:40 class without crashing. No, I would never inhale that much caffeine in one day.
Sorry this wasn't as snarky as usual, but I had a good week and had to share it somehow?!

This past week...
I did not nearly run over a dog while his ten year old owner watched. (This was one of the top ten most terrifying moments of my life and it all happened in slow motion---the dog bounding into the road, me slamming on my breaks and skidding. I will always remember the look on the kid's face. I jumped out of my car, screaming if I hit the dog and the kid was like, no, he's ok. and the beautiful lab jumped all over me slobbering me with kisses. I was unbelievably happy he was ok. But, I'm pretty sure I aged ten years.)
I certainly did not squeal with delight, alarming the entire sushi bar, when my girlfriend I hadn't seen in over two years came into the restaurant.
I did not realize I was "too old" for a favorite college hangout when the music was excessively loud and I was screaming to carry on a conversation. I am only 22, I should not be annoyed by bars like that!
I did not spend over a half an hour in the card store looking for the perfect Valentine's Day card for Boy. No, I am more practical than that!
And I most definitely did not opt out of a family function to "do homework" and the moment everyone left the house, I did not put down my books and curl up to watch Soap Net. Nope, not me!

Not Me! Monday
Sorry I've been MIA since last week, school started this week and I was busy getting adjusted to the change. Anyways, time again for Not Me! Monday. In case you haven't been introduced to Not Me! Monday, yet, here are a few details. A few weeks ago I stumbled across MckMama who plays "Not Me! Monday." Here are the rules to playing, but in sum, you just list a lot of things you "didn't" (read: actually did) do this weekend/past week. All in the name of admitting that we all make mistakes and aren't perfect.
This past week...
I did not laugh so hard I that I actually snorted soda out of my nose like a 10 year old when my co-worker put a picture of our boss over the picture of Michael Scott on my "The Office" Calendar. (more on this later).
I certainly did not have to get a man from my office to jump start my car on Friday afternoon because the battery died and I didn't know how to do it myself. Nope, I am a more capable woman than that***
I did not squeal like a little kid on Christmas when I got my care package of English Toffee and chocolates from Sasika!
I most definitely did not lie about my weight on my rental skis form Friday night so that Boy wouldn't know that exact number. Nope, I care about my own safety way more than that.
I certainly did not eat way too much junk at the Super Bowl party even though I brought my own healthy snacks. No, I am a logical gal and know that if I stop eating so much junk I can stop lying about my weight on the treadmill, ski rental forms, and other forms of weight torture.
Ok, that's it for today. What didn't you do last week?
***I did (honestly and actually) learn how to jump start a car this same day and later in the weekend jump my own car, all by myself!! Put that on your resume...

Time again for Not Me! Monday. In case you haven't been introduced to Not Me! Monday, yet, here are a few details. A few weeks ago I stumbled across MckMama who plays "Not Me! Monday." Here are the rules to playing, but in sum, you just list a lot of things you "didn't" (read: actually did) do this weekend/past week. All in the name of admitting that we all make mistakes and aren't perfect.
This past week...
I did not feed my cat popcorn for dinner because I ran out of cat food. Nope, I am a much better furmomma than that.
I certainly didn't whine to Boy that I liked "his side" of the bed better and make him switch with me, only to find out I didn't like "his side" better and make him switch back. Nope, not me!
For certain, I didn't almost cry at work when the most nit-picky woman in the world tore apart a document I spent more than 10 hours on and then asked me to stay two hours late on a Friday afternoon to fix some spaces and periods. No, I'm stronger than that.
I did not polish off a bottle of wine on Friday night and then fall asleep at 8:45 on a FRIDAY! No, I am a fun-loving gal who was definitely out on a Friday night.
I most definitely did not follow my mom, who was sick with the flu, around the house and spray anything she came within 10 feet of with an excessive amount of Lysol!
Finally, I clearly did not snap at my sister that "its not her bed!" when she was whining that she wanted her boyfriend to come home so she could go to his house to sleep in "her bed." Nope, not me, because if I thought she was being a stupid girl about her boyfriend I would tell her in a rational and adult manner!
What did you "not do" this week?! As always, feel free to play along.

Not Me! Monday

Here are the rules to playing, but in sum, you just list a lot of things you "didn't" (read: actually did) do this weekend/past week. All in the name of admitting that we all make mistakes and aren't perfect.
I had a hard time coming up with "Not Mes" this week. Not, by any means because I was so well behaved, but because I keep doing the same things...falling off the treadclimber, indulging in peanut butter m&ms, etc.
So, this week although my list is short, don't think it's because I'm getting soft on you.
This past week,
I did not spend an excessive amount of money on four items at Sephora. Nope, it would be irresponsible to spend that money when I need to buy textbooks next week.
I certainly did not knock 5 fives pounds off my actual weight when the treadmill asked me for me weight this week. Nope, I have more self awareness than that. (Who am I kidding with this anyways; I'm pretty sure the treadmill isn't going to judge me and say "whoa there, littlesack, cut back on those peanut butter m&ms!)
Finally, I definitely did not browse around the baby store and almost buy something, just because the items were cute even though I currently don't have any babies to shop for. Nope, not me.
Hope everyone had a great week and as always, feel free to play along!
I had a hard time coming up with "Not Mes" this week. Not, by any means because I was so well behaved, but because I keep doing the same things...falling off the treadclimber, indulging in peanut butter m&ms, etc.
So, this week although my list is short, don't think it's because I'm getting soft on you.
This past week,
I did not spend an excessive amount of money on four items at Sephora. Nope, it would be irresponsible to spend that money when I need to buy textbooks next week.
I certainly did not knock 5 fives pounds off my actual weight when the treadmill asked me for me weight this week. Nope, I have more self awareness than that.

Not Me! Monday
Time again for Not Me! Monday. In case you haven't been introduced to Not Me! Monday, yet, here are a few details. A few weeks ago I stumbled across MckMama who plays "Not Me! Monday." Here are the rules to playing, but in sum, you just list a lot of things you "didn't" (read: actually did) do this weekend/past week. All in the name of admitting that we all make mistakes and aren't perfect.
This past week...
I did not nearly face plant on the tread climber at the gym and in an effort to not fall knock my water bottle off its stand and soak myself in the process. I also did not ignore the stares from my fellow worker-outers. Nope, I have more coordination and grace than that.
I did not nearly punch a girl in the face for coming to the gym with starbucks coffee in hand, hair down, make-up on, and discussing how "boys keep coming up to me telling me I'm just too skinny." Nope- not me.
I did not go to bed at 8:45 one night this week because my early morning workouts had me exhausted. No, I am a young, vibrant girl who was out partying at that time!
I did not watch the entirety of four football games this weekend. Nope, I have more exciting things to do than sit around watching football.
I most certainly did not cringe and cower on Saturday night when Jerk roommate couldn't find his cell phone and proceeded to flip all of the furniture over until he found it. No, I would never let him affect me like that.
And finally, I did not put my full length mirror on more of a slant so that it makes me look skinnier!! Nope, not me!
Hope everyone had a great weekend, and as always, feel free to play along.

Not Me! Monday
Time again for Not Me! Monday. In case you haven't been introduced to Not Me! Monday, yet, here are a few details. A few weeks ago I stumbled across MckMama who plays "Not Me! Monday." Here are the rules to playing, but in sum, you just list a lot of things you "didn't" (read: actually did) do this weekend/past week. All in the name of admitting that we all make mistakes and aren't perfect.
1. I definitely did not spend an excessive amount of money on a Garmin sports watch (more on this later- I am in love with it!) I would definitely save that money my grandmother gave me for Christmas.
2. Of course I did not get extremely frustrated with my mother when she called my work hysterical because she swore the cat grew opposable thumbs, open and unlocked the front door and left the house. I have way more patience than that.
3. For sure I did not use pms as an excuse to be a little snippy this week.
4. I certainly did not get frustrated with Boy because he can never decide what he wants to eat and doesn't like any of my suggestions. Again, I have more patience than that.
5. I most definitely did not act meagerly at Boy's all weekend in order to avoid upsetting Jerk roommate. I have bigger cahoones than that.
6. Finally, i did not wear my long under armour tights with nothing over top of them for a trail run on Sunday and then go into the 7/11 for a G2 in all of my spandexy glory. Nope, I would not subject the citizens of my town to my large tooshie with nothing but a layer of spandex in between us.
That's all for this week. Hope everyone had a great week, and as always, feel free to tell me about what you didn't do this weekend!
