You’ve heard it before. A million times. A few times from me.
You’ve also said it yourself. Don’t lie.
I’ve been so busy.
Since being so busy, things have been neglected. Some things make me feel more guilt than others, but fact of the matter is it’s all happening.
And because there’s no real end to this streak in the near future, here are the things that are sure to continue to build:
1. The dust on my shelves. At some point, it stops being funny that I can write my name in it. I also can’t have friends with allergies over without insisting they pack the inhaler.
2. Baking. Not having sugar in my system makes me cranky. So instead of taking the time to bake or just buying a stupid pack of Chips Ahoy, I’ve resorted to grabbing hand fulls of chocolate chips straight out of the bag. I’d be ashamed if I didn’t become so insta-happy immediately afterward.
3. My toesies. After the ZOOMA half marathon in October, it’s time they get the treatment they deserve. I need a pedicure like woah. It’s embarrassing and my only saving grace is that it’s fall (BOOT SEASONNNNNN). I should probably start saving up for the tip I’m gonna need now. Or maybe go to the bank tomorrow during lunch… for a loan.
4. My DVR. Fall tv has been back for less than a week and I’m already obnoxiously behind. Oh the humanity!
5. Running. My next half marathon is less than a month away. I haven’t done over 4 miles since the Chicago Half. Um. Yeah.
6. And because we’re being completely honest and sharing is important:
Happy freakin’ Tuesday, ya’ll.

Let’s focus on what you ARE doing – like keeping busy with things that require your immediate attention:) Good beer and good friends.
You don’t want to see my to do list, blerg.
You are going to be fine for the 1/2, you’re still staying in shape and your body is ready for it!
Ugh, I feel your pain. The amount of folded laundry in baskets in my house is embarrassing. When I have the time to put it away all I want to do is sleep!
You’ll be awesome for the 1/2 – you’re in great shape!!
Good luck on the upcoming half!
I feel ya on the busy front. For me, I’ve let working out slip to one or two times a week, which is really not acceptable. I gotta get back in the groove….but fall TV is so good!
Looooooove the e-card.
HATE dusting! I just did most of my apt last week. And I don’t remember the last time I did it. Did I mention I’ve lived in my apt for 4 years now!??! Oops!
Yay for new fall TV filling up the DVR! Last year I let two of the new shows build up until May. Then I had some new stuff to watch during summer! I’d never seen it before so I wasn’t missing out on anything
Ha!! That E-card cracks me up!
Yeah…. boot season. FINALLY. My need for a pedicure is scary right now. I’m trying to hold out (aka I’m poor) until my show but ugh… scary! hahaha
A full DVR irrationally stresses me out. I was gone for a week and had about 27 shows to watch. Finally last night, I just deleted like 5 of them just to be ‘done.’
LOL! You know… bending over in the shower to shave is tough.
It’s too funny you write this – Bobbi came over yesterday to check in on Data, and Data knocked something off the shelf. I went to put it back on the shelf when I got home and could see all the dust around where it goes. So so gross. So dirty. So guilty.
Yeah, my apartment could probably use some help on the dusting front, but…soon it’ll be too cold to go outside and I’ll have nothing better to do, so maybe I’ll get to it then?
Yep, I’ve been neglecting some yoga, too. However, forward fold happens often in the shower – bonus that my legs are smooth afterward! lol (that could have gone somewhere dirty….)
Yah . . . my feet are in such rough shape that I just painted a really bright color over the chipped and peeling polish that was already on my toes. It’s pretty sexy.
And the dust on my shelves . . . I can only have visitors if it’s dark out otherwise it’s just embarassing.
Sorry you feel so busy! I do too!! There is so much to do around the house and what am I doing while my daughter naps? Reading blogs. Oye.
TV is everything right now. Pretty much my whole life. And I’m not even ashamed to admit it, haha.
The dust situation in my home is horrific. I feel better knowing I’m not alone
I just got a much needed pedi too. The nail lady told me that I had “socks in my toes” because there was some sock fuzz stuck under my nail from all the working out lately. haha..yeah that’s disgusting. sorry for the TMI.
I keep a bag of chocolate chips on hand at all times for that reason. I realize it’s not as sweet, but I also just take spoon fulls of pb when I need something
Also I wore boots today…glorious.
I totally thought about the yoga thing this morning while shaving. I swear putting my leg up on the ledge of the shower counts as a stretch, right? I hope so anyway. I am totally with you on the dust thing too…hence my crabbiness and lack of blogging. My house is out of control and Tony said we have to clean it up before his next project. Luckily he means we, but I still pout like a 5 year old…
I am so behind on my DVR, especially after being on vacation all last week. I get really anxious when it gets over 80% full, I often go into a frenzy and accidentally delete things I haven’t watched yet. I know… I have problems.
zThere is absolutely no shame in eating chocolate chips from the bag. That’s chocolate baby. In a fun form, no less. What’s to be ashamed of??!
I am sure there are things living on my top shelf of my bookcase, as I haven’t dusted there in months. In my defense, I can’t reach it:)
Haha – freakin’ Tuesdays….
Yay for he new fall tv lineup! I know you’re just as excited about the new Modern Family episode tonight as I am.
LOL to the picture. So true! And getting a pedicure after race training may just make all that running worth it
I’ve been neglecting everything except work. Seriously. It’s kind of terrible. Although I have fit in a gym work out while reading emails in the morning. How effective my work out is remains to be seen…
