It’s Friday. Time to ramble.
1. I confess that I’m sick. As I write this post, I still haven’t taken a shower for the day (it’s 4pm). I’m also in my bathrobe. While no one likes being sick, I think most people appreciate slowing down a bit. Not me. I’d kill to be anywhere but stuck inside for the day. Travis thinks I’m nutso. I tend to agree, especially after having spent all day inside.
2. I confess that on Halloween, I ate one fun size Kit-Kat bar. That was it!!! So sad. Send any leftovers you might have to the Wright family please!
3. I confess that Janetha, Katie and I have some MAJOR news, but I can’t share it until the contracts are signed. Just know – Blend 2013 will be epic!
4. I confess that it seems ridiculous to be writing posts and being sick and living life when there are still so many without power or homes after Sandy. My heart breaks.
I saw this on Facebook last night. Had to share.
5. I confess that I have the best husband around. He came home today and vacuumed, did the laundry and dishes and ran around in circles with the kids. He knows what I need, even if I am nutso.
He also came home the other day so that I could go read trashy magazines at the nail salon. JT got married?? Who knew!?
6. I confess that there’s nothing that gets me out of a funk faster than listening to worship music. The focus goes from “poor pitiful me” to “saved by grace me.” Bethel Church is my constant go-to.
7. I confess that I’m glad I’m not running the NYC marathon this weekend. I also confess that I don’t think I’ll ever want to run a marathon, ever. But I could be wrong.
8. I confess that I almost bought these Pumpkin Spice waffles the other day and the only thing that stopped me was looking at the 1,239-item ingredient list. WHY, oh WHY, did I ever learn how to read?!!
9. I confess that I’ve got some news to share with you, but you’ll have to come back Monday to get it. :)
10. I held a 4 minute plank that other day. I’m pretty much awesome.
Happy Friday, friends!!
I’m off to take a shower. Maybe.
QUESTION: Confess something to me – GO!
splendid…lindsay
Shannon says:
Worship music is awesome, I love it! I listen to a lot of Christian music these days. It really inspires and motivates.
Hope you are feeling better girl!
julie says:
i confess that on wednesday we had no power and there was nothing to do and i was cold and even though people had lost their homes i went to the nail salon and got a pedicure they had power. shameful but it was so enjoyable.
Lauren @ Oatmeal after Spinning says:
I confess that I will probably not run a marathon ever. Never say never- but I don’t see it happening any time soon. It just doesn’t sound like fun to me… at all.
Scratch that- the TRAINING doesn’t sound like fun to me.
I read that mag at the gym today! Ha!
I hope you feel 100% better REAL soon and I can’t flippin’ wait to hear the Blend details!!
Dana says:
I confess I said “yay” outloud when you wrote on IG that you did not buy the Eggos, and again when I read your “why” here. I confess I have a long to-do list right now, but Im sitting here enjoying your blog with a hot cup of tea, instead. Feel better soon!
Jonathan Aluzas says:
I confess that I’m trying to go full vegetarian but I’m going out for sushi tonight.
I confess that I can do burpees and such by the buckets, but when it comes to planks I suck.
I confess that I believe that “runner’s high” belongs in the same category as “unicorn.”
Courtney F says:
4 min plank!!!!!!!! Oh-mylanta that is crazy-business!
I confess that I am reading blogs at work. It’s Friday and blog reading at work should be had by all!
Hope you feel better!!
Courtney F says:
4 minute PLANK!!! Oh my-lanta that is crazy-business! You go girl! From your previous post, thanks for the competition =)
I confess that I am reading blogs while at work! It is Friday, a little blog reading happiness should be had!
Laura @ Mommy Run Fast says:
Oh, no! Something is going around. My husband spent Wednesday in bed, and it was my turn yesterday. Thankfully it was short, and we’re both feeling good today, plus I think L managed to skip it. Can’t wait to hear all your news. Feel better!
Tina @ Best Body Fitness says:
I sent you a nice card so doesn’t that mean I get in on the epic Blend news and your personal news sooner? I thought so. I’ll be waiting for an email. ;)
Kidding! Hope you feel better soon!
Ashley @ My Food 'N' Fitness Diaries says:
I confess that I DID buy those pumpkin spice waffles and they were worth every weird ingredient in there. Balance, right? ;)
Jentry Nielsen says:
4 minutes?! 4 minutes straight?! Wow you are pretty much awesome Lindsay! ha I can’t even do a full minute haha baby steps I’ll get there haha
Sure hope you get feeling better soon!
Lisa says:
I confess we’re twins. I’m also sick. Oh man, I haven’t had a stomach virus in forever and forgot how awful they are. Bleh. I am SO hoping I can make it to Blend next year! I am dying to go. Great job on the plank! That’s awesome.
Sarah @ The Smart Kitchen says:
BLEND! I am still really nervous I’m going to somehow miss signing up due to power outage, catastrophe, or having to work.
I hope you feel better…and I need to find that People. I love Justin Timberlake, always have, always will…even if he is supposed to be a jerk in real life.
I beat you: I ate NO Halloween candy at all. Of course, that might be because I was doing Vegan Month of Food…or maybe I just have great willpower.
Ashley F. says:
Feel better soon! A 4 minute plank definitely makes you awesome!
Confession: I decided this week that I was going to actually work on being a better person. In the past I have always simply busied myself with extra projects or ignored my problems, but this time I’m going to actually address the causes of the issues and be better: for myself, my family, and God.
A little deep for a Friday, but I thought it would be good to share it with someone – make it public, if you will. :)
Laura @ LauraLikesDesign says:
Ah, get well soon!
I confess: yesterday’s breakfast consisted of a brownie and 3 chocolate covered pretzels.
Natalie @ Free Range Human says:
You are such a tease! Now I have to wait all weekend?!! I confess that I am really struggling this week. Nothing seems to be going right.
Meghan @ After the Ivy League says:
A four minute plank? You are definitely awesome! And I’m with you, I hate being sick/run down also. All it does is make me behind on a bunch of stuff I need to do. And I complained about a bad day earlier this week, and then immediately felt guilty because of what so many people are going through thanks to hurricane Sandy. I saw on the news this morning that Staten Island is having a really rough time. And now people are getting kicked out of the hotels early to make room for the marathon runners?? Where are they supposed to go? I understand that marathon is a huge source of revenue for the city, but these poor people had their homes destroyed! I can’t even imagine.
Amanda @ Run Principessa says:
Oh, how I want to go to Blend. Let me count the ways. I’ll be stalking your blog for the announcement. ;)
My confession: I still haven’t gotten dressed for the day yet. Lazy Friday.
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says:
I wanna know the Blend secret!!!!
Feel better soon! xo
Rebecca says:
That picture of the phone charging station gets me every time I see it! I live in the Alphabet City neighborhood of NYC (where there was flooding so bad cars were floating down the street) and was evacuated (thankfully my building is fine!). A bar around the corner from my apartment set up two generators and outlets so people could charge their phones and call their families. I’d never been so grateful for anything. I got to call my worried parents and meet some people I would have never otherwise have talked to. Lesson of the week: people are great.
Danielle says:
Feel better!!! Love the confessions list! I can’t wait to hear the news on blend! Hoping I’ll be able to make it! Happy Friday!
Michelle @ Eat Move Balance says:
Whoa, that’s an impressive plank hold!! You go girl! And hope you feel better soon. :)
chelsey @ clean eating chelsey says:
I’ll be anxiously awaiting whatever news you share on Monday! Hope you feel better friend!
lindsay says:
i confess that i cannot hold a 4 minute plank and you put me to shame. I confess that i am super excited for someone, can’t say who. And i confess that God has humbled me this week, it was needed! Praying for those in the Sandy aftermath!
Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says:
Feel better, lady! Remember that sometimes our bodies shut down so that people like us (GO-GO-GO types) will actually take a minute to stop. At least that’s the conclusion I’ve come to… ;)
And that Blend tease is SUCH A TEASE! No fair. Can I get a hint? Because I already knew it was going to be EPIC!
