I've learned if I skip a day, I end up skipping more than one because I reason with myself that my week is already screwed by skipping a day. I have to stick to a rigorous schedule. Monday-Friday, Saturday off, Sunday something outside like hiking up a mountain or something mind stimulating. If I'm up to it, I may so the gym Saturday too, but ALWAYS Monday through Friday.


I find that if I skip all days, I never feel guilty, because I'm being consistent. And that, is how I stay awesome.

I was on a pretty rigorous schedule that was starting to burn me out. So now I just try to always hit 5-6 days a week. I usually take off Saturday and either Tuesday or Thursday. I try not miss all three, but missing Tuesday isn't a great sign, lol. Mon/Wed I never miss because I go to a gym class.
I just wish I'd looked at the weather cause then I would have talked myself into running today since it's so cool!

I do stay conscious of the "creep" though - the whole skipping one day so now I'll skip it next week too....bad!

True dedication there! I don't know how you do it. You should get like, a medal, or key to the city, or at least like, a hug, for that type of dedication to your craft!

I might take a hug...as long as I could stay sitting. Maybe the other person could bend down or something. I mean, a medal or key to the city would probably involve a ceremony, which I assume would require me getting off the couch. Hey, there'd be a reward...a motorized couch.

Plus you'd feel obligated to carry the medal or key around. That's practically like working out right there.
 
Flew out of DSM Monday afternoon and apparently I am forgetful old crazy lady and somehow lost my wallet while still in the DSM airport. I did not realize this until touchdown in DC. Moderate panic ensued - mostly annoyed at what kind of pain in the *** this was going to generate. Rental car was switched to someone else and the hotel let me check in tho I appeared to be a homeless person with decent luggage. My traveling partner is buying all my food so I shall not starve... At 9 pm the Story County Sheriff called my husband back at home, saying an airline employee in DSM just called them because they found a wallet with my gun permit in it. Phone numbers were exchanged. My husband picked up my wallet this morning from the Good Samaritan. Everything is in it including $250+. It is being overnighted to me cuz I need my drivers license to fly home on Friday.

So Sheriff Fitzgerald, I am thanking you for bucking up and finally offering permits in plastic card format rather than stupid piece of ratty paper.

And here is a big ol high five for the people in this world that find a wallet and put out the extra effort to get it to its owner. I will do my best to pay it forward.

Just saw this commercial during the MLB All Star game. You have no idea how livid I would be if that happened. I would have flipped absolute ****.

That's the first time you saw that? Feels like they played it a thousand times during the Big XII Tourney and NCAA tourney.
 
During basketball season, they modified the commercial - the tiles had team logos on them, with the tiles falling off as teams were eliminated. Thumbs up for relevant creativity.

And I love the Lowes commercial where the newly-installed ceiling fan crashes down onto the glass table and then is thrown out a window. That would happen at our house.

That one is our favorite also.

I'm convinced this wouldn't have happened in any other state than Iowa.
