I’m Nothing if Not…

repetitive neurotic consistent. I realized today I have been averaging 1 post per month lately (crap--not good). However I also felt like maybe too much time has passed since I last dedicated a post to my one and only: Postum. And that just seems wrong. Now one might argue that I have TOO many posts (is there such a thing?) about Postum, but I insist on writing one more (and hopefully not the last). A lovely gal with the name of Melinda brought some over to me the other day as a birthday gift and you might be surprised to learn how much brighter the sun began to shine. I'm not kidding. And then how much bluer the sky became. How much greener the grass. And oh, how the colors of the rainbow cake glowed...it was a day to remember my friends. An entire jar of Postum. Bless her heart.

In other exciting news, I have just gotten back from Flo-Rida and I would like to post those lovely pictures. Along with pictures from my trip to Boize (holla). And even though I am sad that school starts next week (mixed with a tiny amount of relieved), I will be pumped to getting back to stalking you, I mean blogging.
Oh and one more thing (hooray!) I did complete one of my 30 goals this last week. It was (drum roll, please):
26. Go running on the beach.
And yes, I must confess I did not run very long, or very far (because dang! it is hotter than Hades in Florida in August, people). Except that while running on said beach, I secretly thanked my June-self for not putting a time limit or distance on that goal. So completed goal either way!! Yee-haw.
And here's a side note probably only interesting to me: I LOVE running. Call me crazy. With a capital K. But I do. But what is so retarded of me is I always forget that I love it. As in: I forget almost every morning when I wake up and remember I have to go running that day that I actually enjoy it (but I have to do it because I signed up for a freakin half-marathon. What. the. Crap.) But every the time I finish a run, I am grateful. Who knew?
Also when I finish a tough run (ok, let's get real: they are ALL tough), I seriously consider giving myself a flippin Gold Medal or something equally glorious (a Trophy?). And yes a medal/trophy a day may seem a little much, but come on now. I think we could all use a gold medal once a day for completing something we actually didn't believe we could complete. It's an idea. Let us mull it over.

And children?! Yes, I stll have them. And they live with me. And I can't help but want to eat this child's cheeks. On a daily basis. And wish he would stay little. And never grow up. Is that wrong?

And lest we forget these crazy kids.

Look at you, with your Postum and your blogging and your goals and your fancy cute font! The sun is shining brighter for me because of this Kristi-post. Keep the goodness coming, lady!

Melinda said...

Oh Krispy, you ROCK!!! I'm so excited to hear about all the goals this year. And I'm wondering what was in that Postum to have the sky be bluer...hmmm...bet it was all the fakey-fake-ness in that "cake". Love you and your ghetto booty too much!!!!

Jan said...

I love you, Kristi! You just make my entire life happier. You really do!!

Darleen said...

oh, Kristi! Please blog more often. You make me laugh. I think if someone did a google search for postrum your blog would be the first link. And I want my baby to stay small and cute and nibble-able.

Oh...how do you do the cool font?

Mia said...

Yes, spill the beans on the font... please :) Love your guts!

Postum...awe. I have always been a Pero girl but if they ever discontinued it I would be in a bad state. Running is awesome. I ran 3.7 miles yesterday and I am so GLAD I did NOT sign up for a 1/2marathon. It is gonna to take me a LONG while to get there. But baby steps right? Babies grow up way too fast. They really should stay small longer.

Jan said...
