Monday Manjoyment!

Sweet Mother of God. This looks like a fun game to play, doesn't it? 

Where am I? I'm sorry, I had unclean thoughts about playing dressup with Manolicious Eric Bana. Forgive me. 

How was your weekend? I'm not gonna lie kittens, I'm having a case of the MUNDAYS which is why this Manjoyment session is going to cheer me up in a big way. 

Yummy. He totally passes the Bark Test. What's the Bark Test? COME ON! It means, Would I Bark Like a Dog For This Man? If the answer is yes, that means he is particularly bootylicious. For other Bark Worthy men, please see Huge Jackman, The Rock, or Jason Statham. 

My neck is I THINK getting better. Right now it only feels like someone hit me with a hammer on the back of my neck, as opposed to a semi truck running over it- which is how I felt yesterday. Good times. 

I've had a swamped day (Good Lord, you'd think I was earning $$$ for each sentence I type about being busy, wouldn't you?) today and thus my workout is this evening. Y'all know I don't like me an evening workout, unless it involved some role playing with Eric and not a lot of clothes. WHAT? Naughty! But, I'm going to do a sensible workout- based on my broken neck, I mean neck challenges. I'm going for a power walk, followed by Biceps/Shoulders- all moves that won't require me to strain my neck. 

WOOF.

I'd really like to see a return to this kind of wardrobe for dudes. It works. I also like it when they fight and stuff and act all MANLY and stuff. It works for me, I mean, really, if you saw this movie, Orland Bloom looked like a girly man whose a** I could kick with my hands tied. It's time to eat a few meals and workout, Orlando. 

Here is my ramble-on-a-thon from this morning:

And TOMORROW I WILL BE ANNOUNCING THE TWO WINNERS FROM THE LAST TWO WEEKS OF MULTI-GRAIN CHEERIOS GIVEAWAYS!! 

So, until then, I'd like to close out with some manjoyment on the musical scale and DON'T LET ME HEAR IT FROM ANY NICKELBACK HATERS! There are several mantastic elements here: Cowboy Hats, Goatees, Guitars, Fire, Angry screaming/grunting men, Guitars, Angry Rock Music and all that collectively equals WOOF. Yummy. 

Oh, one more thing.

Hunk Du Jour. I love it. He's Hunky. Now I'm writing for Tiger Beat magazine.  LOL

QUESTION OF THE DAY: Miracle Whip or Mayo?

Monday Manjoyment!

Is it wrong to ask if he can get Medieval on my a**? 

{For those of you wondering, that IS a movie quote from Pulp Fiction, a movie I did not like, however, I felt the quote was funny and relevant in this context. Don't judge.)

How was your Monday kittens?? Mine? Yea yea I'm gonna say it AGAIN. Crazy day. I had my HAIR appointment this morning (YUMMY!!!) and then just swamped running around, then I went to meet Amy for dinner since we hadn't seen each other in TWO WEEKS!! I was having Amy Withdrawals. I'm ok now and of course Amy I'm sure feels better after seeing me. I mean, who wouldn't? I'm like a ray of sunshine, or moonshine actually in my current state of non-tan. OY.

I cannot BELIEVE this is Thanksgiving week. I also wish I could make December 5th like another 2 months away because that is the date of our 1/2 Marathon. Double OY. Kids, I love running now. It's with me forever, but seriously, my training for THIS particular 1/2 marathon- my FIRST- has been less than stellar. Ok, it's been rather HORRID. 

I just had to throw in another photo of Eric to make me feel better. And now that I look at this picture, it makes me think of this video from Depeche Mode and the lead singer!~ do you see the resemblance??

Also note, Depeche Mode just has killer tunes. What happened to them?? I'm pretty sure that most of these dudes play for Ricky Martin's team, but they can lay down the tunage. And that man has SWAGGA does he not? I mean, work that stage.....OWN IT.

;-)

So, life has been very hectic lately and I am NOT going to get uber-stressed out about this marathon. After all, I'll be doing 3-4 of them a year now. So, big deal, I'll be carried across the finish line on a skateboard by a little child that felt sorry for me eating the sidewalk, big deal....as long as no one takes a picture and posts it on Flickr. 

Oh. Bless His Heart. He left his shirt at home. 

Why don't I just put my ramblolicious vlog directly below Eric:

What was going on there? Did all the light from the moon reflect off of my pasty white face? Dear God I need to tan. Don't worry kittens, I won't scare you with my Goth look much longer. ;-)

And now, because I want to be VERY HAPPY, I post this.....AND NO NICKELBACK HATERS!! For Realz. This video has it all (almost) that defines manjoyment: goatees, cowboy hats, angry guitar playing men that hint of violence issues, fire, angry screaming men with guitars, swearing, rock music, fire, Chad, and whatever that guy's name is in the red shirt. He gets really angry when he plays his guitar. Don't judge me. I want to send a bunch of angry dudes like this to go visit a certain someone.....and um, ok. I'm not gonna say that out loud. But, let's just all hold hands and drink in the goodness.

Monday Manjoyment!

Sweet Mother of God. 

I need a moment to pray and ask forgiveness for unclean thoughts.

OK! I'm back!!! ;-)

Today was a day of KICKING MAJOR A**!!!! How did you start off your week?? Making PROGRESS or EXCUSES?? 

Zip it! I don't wanna hear it- if you are reading this before Midnight- the day ain't over!!! Don't MAKE ME COME OVER THERE! Remember, you can do SOMETHING! Drop and give me 10 big boy push-ups right now!! Eyes front! Tummy tucked! 

Kids. I woke up well before 6am and headed myself to the gym! That's right! For a fleeting moment, when I looked at my alarm clock, noticed it was still dark out, knowing it was 35 degrees out, and full aware of how wonderful my 7-layer bed felt, I didn't want to go. I wanted to turn the alarm OFF, after all, "It's Monday, Kelly. Mondays are always rough, you can get up early the REST OF THE WEEK" Um No. Good Kelly is getting stronger than Evil Kelly and she's not hearing that. 

I owned it this morning. And guess what?? It felt so awesome, I'm ready to get up EARLIER tomorrow because I want to be doing my entire morning workout BEFORE THE SUN COMES UP. I saw all these people arriving as I was leaving, the peeps that do a quick workout before the office. Nope. I'm MUCH more of a warrior than THEY are. I'm WAY OUT OF THEIR LEAGUE. Watch me kids. I'll be there EARLIER TOMORROW. 

Ran WITHOUT STOPPING 4.25 miles! WOOT!!!

And this was the song that made me just OWN it at 6mph:

Dear Chad, Yes I WILL go out with you. My cell # is 1-900-CHADSGIRL.  ;-)

Nickelback haters, move along. I will crush you. 

On that note, I'm going to go do some ab work while I play some Nickelback music REALLY LOUD. Oh wow, that might upset my neighbors. I'd feel REALLY BAD about that. 

@MandyStafford this gem is for you. 

QUESTION OF THE DAY: What is your favorite Kick Butt/Motivational Music on your iPod right now? (I can always use new stuff!!)
