I am getting into a routine with my morning running ya’ll!
It goes like this: Occasionally I get up and get in a morning run. Occasionally I sleep in.
Yeah, I call that a ‘routine’.
This morning I ran. A nice easy peasy 3 miles. I really do love when I get my run in first thing, it makes my whole day flow better.
I came home and turned on the VitaMix.
Look what came out!
Green Monster! I swear it’s like that VitaMix can read my mind…
Lunch was Hugh Jass:
- spinach
- lettuce
- black beans
- corn
- salsa
- carrot
- hummus
- multigrain Tostitos
No blue chips, cause I forgot mine and the grocery store I went to due to this huge emergency did not carry blue chips! WTF?!?! I thought everyone knew that blue chips were the shiz.
I did get hit upon by the freezer stocker guy though.
It went something like this:
Him: May I help you ma’am?
Me: Blue chips? Have you any blue chips? I NEED BLUE CHIPS!!!!!
Him: Chips in a blue bag?
Me: Blue CORN chips. In the organic section.
Him: We don’t have an organic section.
Me: Oh ok. Well that sucks. (ok I didn’t say ‘that sucks’, I said ‘thanks’)
*turns to walk away*
Him: I’m sorry what’s your name?
Me: Whitney?
Him: *sticking hand out for me to shake*Hi, I’m (insert name here). I work in the freezer section here at the grocery store.
Me: (thinking) so I gathered.
Him: Are you married?
Me: (thinking again) WTH?!?!
Me: No, but I am in a serious relationship. Kthanxbi!
Okay, so I totally lied right there, but it was so weird!
What’s the weirdest place or way you’ve ever been hit upon?
Mr. Snacky was so shy today. I don’t know if it was because he felt he didn’t measure up to freezer stocker guy or he was embarrassed of his lack of chocolate.
Either way I could not get him to take his hands away from his eyes. (And yes, my calendar says payment. Car payment to be exact. Make note of the date and feel free to make it for me.)
Then the gym was postponed cuz this little lady has to eat too!
So I put on these babies and got to work.
Hay hauling is a good workout.
but dangerous:
Hauling all this hay:
with a little help:
makes Whitney a hungry girl.
I had a delicious Mama Dana dinner fo’ sho’.
- grapes
- Tex-Mex Chicken Casserole (two thumbs up!)
- green beans (x2 on these, they were so good!)
and since every c-girl has to reward herself for a job well done:
a fun-fetti cookie.
I seriously did work for that cookie though. Have you ever tossed about a hay bale? Try it sometime. Just for kicks. Don’t forget your c-girl boots though!

Haha, I liked the story about the grocery store dude. A few weeks ago I was talking on the phone (to my grandma, nonetheless) and walking in Chicago and two COPS drove by and yelled “yeah baby”. That was certainly the weirdest time I got hit on…. um I’m not sure if that makes me feel more or less safe?!?!
[...] Go here to see the original: Hay is for horses… [...]
LOL the only weird one that comes to mind is this, one day I was off for a lunch time run…some guy hung out the window of his truck and shouted “Marry Me!”. Too bad I was already married, I surely would have jumped in the truck and run off with him….NOT.
Very pretty horse! Hauling hay is definitely a good workout I think.
Do you have a recipe for your tex-mex casserole? Looks good.
I am so sad I was to sick to go on the hay hauling adventure…
poor poor me! But that tex-mex casserole was DELICIOUS! Next time I will haul all the hay alone to make up for being sick this time so you guys don’t worry. haha
Hey! I am a new “commenter” but I love your blog!
I should look into getting a VitaMix–do you know if there is a huge difference from the magic bullet?
AND hauling hay does seem like a great workout!
That is funny you got hit on by the freezer guy…I bet it made your day, though!
thanks for your sweet comment on my blog! that picture of your snack is fabulous. who says we can’t play with our food?
what a crazy pick up conversation!
great job on the early morning run
I want to get back in that routine, too.
Heck yes tossing hay is a GREAT workout!! Too bad it makes me sneeze!
OMGoodnes! I LOVE green beans. My Gma makes the best! Of course the next day they have that white film of grease on top but dang they are tasty
Ugg hauling that hay was way more of a workout than I wanted! But the reward was that yummy tex-mex casserole!!! I could have eaten the whole thing!!!!! Hey I didn’t wear cowgirl boots and I thought I did a pretty good job with my tennis shoes!!! So if you ever care to toss around a bale of hay tennis shoes will be just fine, just make sure to wear gloves or your hands will cry the next day!
eww that guy is kinda sketchy…
heck yes for awesome hay tossing workout!!
love the cookie
Oh my gosh you are adorable, I am so glad I’ve found your blog!!
Love the boots, and way weird on the freezer guy! haha I’d be like “ummm you’re working right now – you sure it’s the best time to get your mack on?” haha
yuck to creepy mc.creepster in the frozen food section!
whoa girlfriend look at those guns! hauling is obv. a wonderful workout! you look great
whoa…funfetti cookie? yes please!!!!
Dang girl! If hay haulin’ means looking like that, count me in!
I hate getting hit on in awkward places. I’m so not nice about it – I just look away and keep walking… Might not be good karma?!
Funfetti is the BEST!!! Getting hit on in the grocery store is near the top of my random places lists! Never fails!
What pretty scenery on the farm!
Hauling hay looks like hard work! My grandparents live on a ranch and I know everything they do outside is a total workout! What was your snack? It looks kinda like a larabar but I can’t tell!
Hi…I just started reading your blog and I love it!! I think you’re hilarious
I think there might just be a thing with grocery store employees….the guys who work at the deli at mine are very friendly. And overly helpful.
Eeek, what a weird guy. But what a pretty horse! I used to be a competitive rider (hunter/jumper), and had a horse. I know what ya mean about hay hauling. Barn chores can be quite the workout!
Love the funfetti cookie!
Heehaw! Hit on by random freezer guy, you make it hysterical but I am sure it was extremely awkward and weird. I can see it now on craigslist…”gorgeous girl in the freezer section today at food lion (cuz u know that’s ’bout all monroe has to offer), please dump your man and marry me, I am madly in love!” snort!
Oh my god–we have the exact same routine: “Occasionally I get up and get in a morning run. Occasionally I sleep in.”
I get up and run at most 2-3 days a week. And guess what, I am very proud that I do it that much. The other days I hit the treadmill either over lunch or in the evening.
And yes, I have definitely tossed some hay bales in my day. My parents have horses (I think right now they have around 8 quarter horses) and my brother breeds horses for a living. Hay bales was just part of life when growing up with horses. Working on a farm may be the best upper body workout someone can do. Hello biceps!
