Pre Game - Time to Burn

Kid related stuff gives me more of a chuckle than it ought to these days.

On that note, here's an idea on how to gain some credits for your upcoming Thanksgiving meal.

Happy Thanksgiving!  I'm taking the week off from posting, so I'll see you next week.

Calorie Free ... Peanut Butter?!

It's just one of those things you see at the store and go ... hm.

Just For Fun - Awkward Pool Floaties

Occasionally I post something dorky and funny here on the blog.

While this is not really fitness related, and I already shared this on Facebook so some of you may have already seen it, I couldn't resist posting here as well.

And yes, I was actually shopping for pool floaties and found these myself.  Unbelievably, I somehow managed to resist purchasing any of them.  I don't know how that happened!

Links provided in case you want to purchase any for your own personal use.  (We won't judge, but just don't tell us what you're using them for.)

See you Thursday with another race recap!

Awkward Pool Floaties


Pickle Floatie - The floatie that started my morbid curiosity.

36" long, huh?  That's what he said.




Banana Floatie - This one is meant to be ridden.

I'm sorry, look at that kid's face.  Even he knows this isn't right.

Eggplant Floatie - Apparently this is a thing?  I don't know why.

It looks innocent enough above in what is the primary photo for the listing, but then you see how much fun some random woman is having with it in a secondary photo.

Nope.  Not suggestive.  AT.  ALL.



Clam Floatie - Because I guess if we're going to be phallic with pickles, bananas and eggplants ... then we need to go the other way as well.  Gender equality!

Um .. when I sit on this, the pearl goes where now?



YOLO Floatie - Yes, I see there is also a hashtag and an @ symbol in this listing, but its the YOLO that really grabbed my attention.  Seriously, what market are we aiming at here?  And are these even functional for anything?  I can't imagine they actually let someone float on them, they don't look big enough.

Poo Floatie - The piece de resistance.  And why not?  Because if we're going to have floaties for hashtags, @ symbols, and eggplant emojis ... why not poo too?

 

Wordless Wednesday or Friday Funny? #1

Wordless Wednesday or Friday Funny?  Who cares?  It's a random Tuesday and I found this.

Just a little something from my Facebook wall to fill your Friday ...

 

 

 

Friday Funny #8

So, a few weeks back, I posted this in my Facebook feed:

 

Then, yesterday for lunch, I had this:

What the hell, Target?!  A half cup of dressing for a vegetable snack, but when I get a salad that's an ENTIRE MEAL you give me a glorified shot glass?

Don't get me wrong, that was still plenty of dressing.  I'm just not understanding the equation here.  Can someone tell me how a snack warrants 3 times the amount of dressing that a meal would?

OK ... musing over.  Have a great weekend!

Friday Funny #7

Given my latest adventure in Jazzercise, and my reputation to teach fitness classes that come off a little wacky at times, last week I had an ... interesting ... suggestion pass my Facebook feed.

Enjoy!

I had to run some errands over the lunch hour this week, and amazingly ... it devolved into this.

Enjoy!

Friday Funny #5

I'm guessing you wouldn't be surprised if I told you - a lot of stupid, funny stuff happens to me on a regular basis.  And usually, it's because I unknowingly set myself up for it.

In honor of my follies, I decided to start an occasional post tradition on my blog:  the Friday Funny.  Whenever something worthy of my unique brand of stupidity happens, I post a snippet about it here.

And so, with that introduction, I bring you the latest installment of the Friday Funny:

This is a photo I took at a 5K last spring.  Can't tell what's so funny?

Here's a better close up.

And here's an actual product you can purchase online:

Can you believe someone completed a 5K with one of these?  LOL!  I can't.
