Oh, Those Pesky Time-Warps

Did anyone ever see the movie “Ice Pirates”? I think it came out in the 80’s. It was pretty dumb, but also pretty awesome. Especially if you like Sci-Fi, which I really do. In one part they enter some kind of a time-warp and everybody ages really fast for a while. It’s pretty hilarious. You should check it out. That’s what my life feels like sometimes. Like it’s moving along at a ridiculous speed. Where the hell did the last week go? It is Wednesday again and I feel like I just weighed-in for my SSJ challenge, like, 5 minutes ago.

Still holding at 151 pounds this week. That’s cool. So far on this challenge I have not gained and that’s what really counts, right? I had a good week. Went to the gym a lot. Also had a FANTASTIC run with my TNT* group this past Saturday. We did 6 miles and I almost ran for the entire time. Myself and two other girls ran together and helped to pace each other. It’s funny how much better you can perform and sustain your motivation with a group. That is also why I am enjoying this Sisterhood thing. Something about having to report in each week helps to keep fitness a top priority. Plus, the encouragement from the group is great too.

Food continues to be a minor issue. As I write this, I’m munching on my daily cookie breakfast. However, I eat Lean Cuisine for lunch most days so that’s good. I think. I need to take a cue from my daughter. She’s amazing with the veggies and fruits. At only 20 months, she seems to really adore stuff like tomatoes, broccoli, asparagus and strawberries. I really hope she keeps liking this stuff as she gets older. I, on the other hand, will take a bag of chips over some grapes and strawberries anytime. I’ve been trying really hard to eat the same amount of veggies and fruits I feed her. As she matures, it will become pretty obvious how unfair it is that I’m forcing oranges on her while eating Doritos myself. Something tells me she’ll notice that incongruity.

*My fundraising goal for the TNT 10k race is $500 and I’m almost there! If you want to help me out, there’s still time. Just click here to go to my personal page before Friday, May 15th. And BIG thanks to those of you who have already donated. You rock!

Silly Sidebar:
Got another one for my “Statistically Speaking” category that seems appropriate here. Someone searched for “cowbell workout” and found me. Tee-hee. I may have to search that one just out of curiosity.

Um. Gross.

Remember a while back when I shared a really funny scary phrase that someone searched for and then ended up getting my blog as a result? I even made a new category for stuff like this in hopes I would have more to share. You know, for laughs and stuff.

It ended being a long stretch of not much interesting popping up. Until today. Here’s one that led someone to my recent post about cat hair:

“why do cats butts leak that nasty stuff”

Um, I think maybe someone should try searching the Yellow Pages for a vet. Gross.

Truth is Better Than Fiction

So I opened the admin page for the blog a few minutes ago and was happy to see that the promise (from Word Press) for a new, easier to use, interface had finally arrived. It is cool. One of the coolest things is blog stats right up front. You can see how many people clicked on the blog that day, what posts they looked at, etc. The most interesting stat is the search engine info. It shows you phrases used by people searching for stuff that caused a click to your site.

A while back I wrote a post about KC’s infamous “Poo Face” and how it was hard to capture on film. The title had “Sasquatch” in it. Someone actually clicked on my blog while looking for (are you sitting down?) the following phrase:

“picture of sasquatch getting pooped on”

Totally. F***ing. Serious. You can’t make this shit up. (Pardon the pun.) Well, ok you could make it up, but why bother when you have facts like this to reference? “Blog Stats” just might need a whole new category on my blog if more stuff like this pops up. Actually…wait…ok, done.

To the person who performed that search: If you ever read this, I sincerely hope you found what you were looking for. If you did, email me the picture, because I have GOT to see that!

I’m terrified to think how many people find me while entering stuff that matches up with “Poo Face”. Chills.
