It’s FRIDAY! Can I get a “whoot whoot”? (spelling?)
Here’s some fun crap for you to read on this lovely almost-weekend day.
1. I’m in love with this song. I think I’ve worn out my Bethel CD from overuse. That’s not a bad problem to have.
2. I’m in love with Susanna Makinson. Remember when I hosted the Thimble Times slipper giveaway and Chelsey won?
Yeah – well Susanna made me some of my very own slippers!! I’m wearing them right now actually! Adorable, no?
I also snagged some of her homemade LAVENDER laundry detergent! If only for the packaging alone, these would be just the cutest little gifts. Go here to get your own!
Ah, lavender. I smell good, guys. This is a new development.
3. I stink all the time because I flippin’ workout too much.
Yesterday’s run called for SPEEDWORK. Say it with me: “Speedwork is our friend. Speedwork makes us stronger.”
Yeah, I don’t buy it either.
Here’s what I did:
Pin It
My body hates me right now. But I love my body for running fast. We’re canceling one another out. Think about that real hard and your brain will freeze. Psychedelic.
4. I just took a break from typing to get a spoonful of ice cream. Pet Extreme Cookies and Cream.
It’s extreme, guys.
5. Lately, I’m loving this blog and this blog and this girl who made me granola and this other girl who made me granola and some other gal who I’ve been praying is cancer free!!
6. Did you hear about Green Mountain Coffee and the FREE Keurigs?!?!?!
7. This just happened at my house.
Annnnd…we’re done!
Happy Friday, my friends!
QUESTION: Any exciting weekend plans? IS there any money in stripping these days? <-Me: 8 mile run, birthday party, lots of rest. I’m taking this weekend off from blogging! If you’re missing me, you can read this guest post I wrote for the Fitfluential blog! See you on Monday!
splendid…lindsay

STUFT Mama says:
The text was hilarious. I need to do that workout on the treadmill, but I always find excuses to avoid repeats. I smell all the time too. We’d make a good pair. Off to check out your FF guest post. :) have a great weekend friend!
meg @ pinkgiggles says:
you are hilarious. that is all.
chelsey @ clean eating chelsey says:
HA! Love the text!
Stephanie says:
I love coming here for my daily dose of random! :) And I do love those slippers. I’d probably wear them as shoes. No, really. They’d look really cute with jeans.
lindsaymwright says:
I know!! I’m tempted! How’ve you been btw?
Paige @ Running Around Normal says:
Whoa, what happened!!!??? I think my brain just froze or something….
Have a good weekend, Lindsay:)
lindsaymwright says:
you too, lady!!
Katie says:
I really truly love speedwork! I did almost the exact same workout yesterday! 8x800s with 90 seconds of rest in between. I felt so dang good aftewards.
Happy Friday to you – hope there are no naked toddlers or poop smearing today. xoxo
Jess says:
I love random posts! I also love your speedwork – holy buckets of sweat, that is intensely fast!!! I’ll have to work on my speed so I can get thru this workout at some point in the future ;-)
YAY for Friday!! I spy wine in my near future :)
lindsaymwright says:
wine..hmm..sounds tempting!
Alex says:
YAY can’t wait to get my slippers! And with having a harem girl as a mother…I’m sure Henry will grow up to be an excellent male stripper. :D
lindsaymwright says:
alex- I HAVE your slippers! When do you work next?
Alex says:
oh yay!!! I go in at 3 on Sunday.
lindsaymwright says:
k..I’ll swing by!
Heather Blackmon @ Better With Veggies says:
Hahah – me and running are not on speaking terms right now, so I understand that love/hate relationship. I think running hates me too much and I’m giving it some space to miss me. Or is it the other way around?
FoodBlogSouth this weekend – wish you were coming! I know absolutely no one, it should be fun. :)
lindsaymwright says:
oh man – i forgot about FoodBlogSouth!! Have fun and take lots of pics!
Parita @ myinnershakti says:
Gotta love that “love/hate” relationship!
And I’m planning on checking out Gaspirilla in Tampa…heard it’s…interesting to say the least!
Heidi @BananaBuzzbomb says:
Love RFF =) No big plans for me. Just gearing up to start half marathon training. Yay!
Missy says:
Those shoes are so adorable!!
I love lavender too; Tide makes a Lavender touch of Downy detergent that smells SO good but I haven’t been able to find it in a while; I’ll go check this one out!
Great job on speedwork – that’s just not in my blood ;)
have a great restful weekend!
lindsaymwright says:
thanks, missy! you should definitely order some! It makes me sniff myself all the time!
Lindsay @ The Lean Green Bean says:
great speed workout. i’ve never actually tried one! guess this would be a good one to start with :)
lindsaymwright says:
yup! it’s hard, but the good kind of hard.
Brittany @ Itty Bits of Balance says:
Haha no worries. That’s how I feel when I catch Popcorn in his crate without the dog-sweater that I left on him.
Michele @ nycrunningmama says:
I seriously love your blog. You are hysterical. I think I had close to 6 buckets of sweat yesterday too…I think doing speedwork on the treadmill in the house is a recipe for losing half my body weight in sweat!
Not sure about the male stripping! LOL =)
Have a great weekend – enjoy the 8 mile run! My hubby is away on a boys’ hockey trip (pond hockey) so it’ll be just me and the little guy holding down the fort. Hoping that my mom or sister can babysit him so I can get my long run in!!
lindsaymwright says:
how many miles do you have on the agenda?
Katie @ Peace Love & Oats says:
that speed run looks pretty serious!!! Good job for finishing it! And I sooooo want those slippers!
Lindsay @ In Sweetness and In Health says:
Oh my goodness I love you <3. And that workout looks so intense! I don't think I could do it for 6 miles..I'd be shortening that haha. Hope you have a FAB weekend :). Pinning the workout!
lindsaymwright says:
thanks, friend!
Nicole says:

lindsaymwright says:
