Great. Now that we got all the negatives out of the way, let’s move on and focus on the positives, shall we?

I’m now enjoying a cup of Green Tea, putting on some nice music and mentally preparing myself for a week of positive, healthy vibes. It’s only Saturday which means there’s one more day to redeem the weekend and turn it into something fantastic.  I’m hoping to start tomorrow off with a long run.

Tomorrow is a new day!

The Last of the Registry… March 9, 2011

Filed under: Random,Wedding — Kelocity @ 3:36 pm

Irving and I got married almost two years ago. And we still had a few things lingering on our registry that will complete our ‘fine china’ set. We figured it’s probably about time we buy them in case the line gets discontinued at some point.

We used up some gift cards and bought the remaining items. Now there is just ONE thing left on the registry:

Anyone know what that is?!

I might have to go buy those JUST so I can say the entire registry is complete.

 

Nightmares on Kelocity Street March 1, 2011

Filed under: Random — Kelocity @ 5:14 pm

I’m one of those unlucky people who remembers my dreams every.single.day. Sometimes it can be fun when I wake up and feel like I just went on a vacation. Every morning I describe to Irving in detail what a fun roller coaster I just went on, or which celebrity I just ‘met’ or some other adventure I seemingly just experienced. I dream about water slides a lot. Maybe because I really like them?
But sometimes, remembering dreams and experiencing them so vividly is a terrible curse. I have nightmares often. I used to get them all the time when I was little and my pediatrician told my mom that I’d grow out of them. Well, I am now 27, and they are just as frequent and awful. Apparently only 8% of adults get nightmares!

A few times a week, I wake up thinking I’m being stalked, someone is being killed, my house is being broken into, you name it. This week someone was trying to kill me and I kept dialing 811 instead of 911 and no one could come to save me. The worst part is, I remember these dreams all day long too. I get flashbacks of them and it’s scary! This is why I can’t watch scary movies, because my unconscious doesn’t need to learn about new ways a person can die.

So finally, I decided to do a little research on this, and find out what is causing my nightmares. I’m not on any medications or any crazy diets, so that can’t really be it.

A few leading factors that make total sense for me:
–Low Blood Sugar (because your heart beats faster, creates adrenaline and can make your mind race)
–High Body Temperature (I hate being hot. I get anxious, irritable, and restless… which could contribute to that adrenaline factor)
–Stress or Fear (I don’t feel overly stressed, but maybe my acute OCD can never fully tune out my to-do list?

Does anyone have any tips? I’m kinda sick of remembering my dreams (even if they do involve Leonardo DiCaprio sometimes).

 

Relaxing Weekday Evenings January 27, 2011

My life just isn’t that exciting on weekdays. We’re pretty boring people during the week (and then get all crazy on the weekends I guess!)

We watched a lot of Jeopardy this week. HAHA It’s sort of become our nightly cooking routine.

One night, we cooked up one of our Dream Dinners. This one was a recipe created by Bon Greene, one of Oprah’s experts.

It was a healthy take on Sweet and Sour chicken.

The chicken was baked with oranges, pineapples, apricots, figs and oranges. It was deliciously sweet and we couldn’t believe there was no added sugar, it was all natural.

Paired with some orange slices on the side, it definitely hit the spot.

In other random news, I ate a Trader Joes burrito for lunch one day this week off of a Hanukah plate.
I thought this was HIL-ARIOUS. I was going to take a picture, but then the burrito kind of exploded in the microwave and ruined my plans.

Have you guys checked out QWiki.com yet? It’s a pretty neat interactive website. It’s so cool, you don’t even realize you’re learning stuff.

For example: http://www.qwiki.com/q/#!/Marathon

Oh, and just for some added cuteness, I got to snuggle with the infamous Hudson this morning.
He was totally worth the Parking Ticket I got while hanging out at his place today. TOTALLY worth it.

I’m up at 6 for a run in the morning. And because I’m announcing it on the blog, I HAVE to actually do it.
I’m off to watch Teen Mom 2! Night!

 

Funny things this week… April 26, 2010

Filed under: Random — Kelocity @ 4:50 pm

On Saturday, I went to a “Team in Training” practice to help out with the team. Of course I wore my new Boston Marathon Jacket! I also wore my medal to show my friends….well after practice, I was in line to get gas at Costco and I looked over, and the girl in the car next to me also  had her Boston Marathon coat on! I yelled “hey nice jacket!” she said “you too!” Then I pulled out the medal (which I was still wearing) and said, “Do you have your medal on too?” She looked confused and said, “uh, no?!”. haha She must have thought I was crazy.

I mean come on, doesn’t everyone wear their medals out while doing their errands?

=======

In my car, I had a whole bunch of cupcakes I baked for the team. I was at a stop light and I noticed a homeless man begging for money on the corner. I rolled my window down and gave him a cupcake. He was so excited about it! It felt really nice to do something good for someone else. Cupcakes make EVERYTHING better. Even if just for a few minutes.

((I loved my wedding cupcakes!!))
