Monday run: 7 miles TM, 7.2-7.6, 1-2% incline
Out of ease and my desire for some TV time, I have been and will to continue to keep most of my runs indoors. Not a huge problem in my eyes given I have no real races coming up for nearly a year.
I found my new TV addiction! Homeland! I watched the first episode during my run yesterday and am hooked. Can’t wait to head downstairs and watch the next episode.
Yesterday I worked the evening shift and was devastated when I realized we forgot to record Bachelor. Anyone else watching Bachelor? It is the stupidest show ever and yet one I enjoy watching. It’s a nice brainless activity to do over a glass of wine. I just don’t understand most of the contestants on the show….how they think they’ve met the man of their dreams after one date. Either way, it’s entertaining to watch and makes me feel better about my life ; ).
Btw, for those of you who watch Bachelor, do you consult Reality Steve or google who the winner is? It drives Dean and my friends crazy, but I always cheat and want to find out who wins. Of course, I don’t spoil it for them, and it doesn’t ruin watching it for me, but I am just one of those impatient kind of persons that if the results are already known, why wait to find out?
I was recently talking with some friends about whether or not I’d want to know the sex of my kid (in the future when I’m pregnant) ahead of time, before giving birth. I was like, are you kidding? Do you not know me? I can’t even make it past the first episode of Bachelor without finding out the end result! As soon as I can find out the sex of the baby, I will. Ha.

Ladies with long hair, I need your advice: My hair has gotten so long that it’s getting really hard to keep it from getting in one, big, tangled knot. Seriously….if I don’t brush through it in the shower when conditioner is in, there’s no chance I’ll be able to brush through it until it dries. This is what it looked like this morning when I woke up:
Help! Any conditioner products you recommend? I’ve actually broken bristles off of my brush trying to brush through my hair : (

Last night after my shift, Dean and I split a beer. Of course we had to document to the world via Instagram that we were drinking a beer, because that kind of information is very, very important in the Instagram world, and nothing in your life is real unless it’s documented on social media (said in a sarcastic voice)
Dean’s cousin totally called us out how we often post pretty much identical pictures on instagram.
My pic from last night:
Dean’s pic from last night:
And let me remind you how we’ve dressed in the past:
Matching shirts : )
We bought matching t-shirts from a brewery we went to out in California.
Folks, I think we may have a problem here. If we’re like this now, in our 20s/30s before we’re even married, I’m afraid of what we’ll turn into once we’ve been married for twenty years! We’ll be identical twins. haha. Oh boy…
try deva curl! it does not have any detergent in it, you can use no poo and the regular conditioner. also sometimes your hair just gets too long… also ojon makes a moisturizing spray for dry hair that sometimes helps. i use deva curl even if i am blow drying my hair. good luck!
Thanks for the suggestion! I will definitely look into that. I am desperate!
Haha you think you & Dean are bad, wait until you have a kid you can match with too
I am the complete opposite of you when it comes to TV shows, I avoid spoilers like the plague! i like to watch it all as it’s happening, takes the fun & excitement out of it if I know who will win! And I DEFINITELY don’t to know the sex of any of my future babies until they’re born. I figure that “It’s a _____!” is a life moment I don’t want to miss out on, even if he/ she has to wear yellow clothes for the first 6 months of existence!
omg, our poor future kid. haha.
This season with Sean is basically a snooze-fest. His on-screen personality is lacking. I think last night he was actually reading his “thoughts” from a script when he talked about his feelings for a woman he eventually eliminated. I remember the good old days of the Bachelor when there was lots of hot tubbing, scandalous goings-ons and the bachelor could actually put a sentence together on his own! By the way, I have a theory, that if a contestant eats anything on camera on one of the dates, they are eliminated. Spoiler Alert: It actually worked again this episode because one of the contestants was stuffing her mouth full of hor d’oeuvres last week.
I will have to keep my eye out on who’s stuffing their faces! haha.
Everyone seems to be obsessed with Homeland. Is it on Netflix or is it new? I might have to give it a try.
I think you and Dean are so cute matching. How is Pipeworks?
I decided to give Homeland a try cause everyone talking about it…it so far has definitely lived up to its expectations! Very good, if you like dramas. It’s probably on Netflix. I, unfortunately, have been paying for each episode, because there’s no internet connection where I work out.
Love the matching stuff! I am also very impatient, so I will google search the results of shows also. I wanted to find out the gender of our children, but my husband wanted to be surprised. So- we negotiated. Every other child we will find out and every other child we will be surprised. So we knew my sons gender, but not my daughters
I bet that was so hard to wait. I dont know if I could have done that…especially since I’m a radiologist and could just throw the ultrasound probe on my stomach whenever I wanted. haha! Luckily, Dean agrees that he would want to know ahead of time, too.
my hair was extremely long in december, and then got extremely damaged via my color saga earlier this month, and afterwards i literally couldn’t comb through it anymore after showering. so i picked up loreal’s total repair 5 damage erasing balm two weeks ago and it’s an awesome detangler. it leaves my hair really ligh (as opposed to a lot of conditioners that weigh hair down) and soooooo easy to comb through. it’s a miracle in a little yellow tub. i picked up a new jar today. highly recommend it as a detangler for long hair, and it’s only $5!
Nice! Do you put it on after you shower? I like the price.
Homeland and the bachelor! All in. I don’t do the spoilers. I watch the bachelor while texting good friends one liners about all those batty ladies. Love it.
Lots of good liners in the most recent episode, which I finally just watched. We especially loved it when Selma asked as she was getting in the plane, “is every date going to be like this?” Um, no.
I decided to grow my hair out too, which I’ve never done because its so thin and damages too easily, so, I had to buy the best conditioner and shampoo and I am telling you, this conditioner is the absolute best! It’s called Pureology Hydrate conditioner. Ill admit its a little expensive but I have tried & reviewed everything and nothing compares. It leaves my hair so soft I can brush through completely wet (which I actually dont recommend unless using a wide toothed comb so as not to damage the hair strands). More importantly, my hair looks and feels super healthy! Also, a little goes a long way which makes the bottle last. I swear, it’s definitely worth a try!
Thanks for the suggestion! Can you buy it at a pharmacy or do you need to go to a salon?
Unforetunatly, you have to go to a salon (or order it online from amazon), but as weird as this may sound I actually have a sample bottle I could send you that I got for when I travel. I’ve never used it and doubt I ever will. Message me your address if you’re interested, I seriously don’t mind! Happy to help:)
*Unfortunately*! Sorry, too much wine I guess;)
