Thinking Out Loud #7

Related Posts Plugin for WordPress, Blogger... Related Posts Plugin for WordPress, Blogger...
Yay! It's Thursday... which means it's a Thinking Out Loud link up with Amanda @ Running With Spoons. This means I can cop-out and just write a bunch of random stuff and it's OKAY!


Thinking-Out-Loud


1. I think my knee is getting better. Here is what it looked like the day after I got it scoped (Friday) and here is what it looks like exactly a week after surgery:


It almost looks normal, right? I can't wait to run and jump and do all of those wonderful things! Come on KNEE!!! ps. I realize there is still pen on my skin. It's where the surgeon wrote before he cut me open. I don't know what it says and I don't know how to get it off, but you can tell I tried.


2. I finally registered for my ACE personal training exam. I was debating on whether to take the test within the next 2 months or wait until summer. Well, mother nature pretty much made the decision for me. Thanks to all of these snow days, I will not have any weekdays (non holiday ones) off work until summer. And those are the only days the ACE test is offered! (Which sort of confuses me... Shouldn't they offer it on the weekends!?) So I will be taking the test in June. THANKS, SNOW!



3. Speaking of snow....



I've had a lot of time on my hands due to all the freaking snow days we've been having this January. 
Time to write ridiculous posts like this one.



4. Look what I'm going to make as soon as I can do proper cardio again!


I freaking love carrot cake. 
It may be my favorite cake flavor.


5. While we're on the subject of food, look what my friend picked up for me at the UTZ factory in Hanover, PA. A huge barrel of JUST THE RYE CHIPS from various Utz mixes... party mix, pub mix, etc... I dipped some in guacamole last week and my mouth almost exploded from happiness. I am slowly but surely making my way through the barrel.



6. Do you ever watch TV shows just because you hate them? My hubby and I used to like Girls, but now we hate it. Yet we keep watching...



Your turn! Tell me something random. Think out loud...
What is your favorite cake flavor?
What's your favorite part of party mixes?
Any TV shows you watch even though you hate them?
How do I get pen off my leg?

  1. I watch Teen Mom and 16 and Pregnant on MTV, I hate/love these shows, but I can't stop watching. D watches with me, and his reactions are so funny. Its such guilty pleasure watching.

    Have you tried rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover on the pen?

    Good luck on ACE!

    1. I tried alcohol but not nail polish remover. I will try that! I used to watch those Teen Mom shows and 16 and Pregnant shows too! You are right, such a train wreck but good, mindless fun!

  2. Chocolate cake will -always- be my favourite -- and bonus points if it has whipped cream instead of frosting :D And I always feel so left out when people start talking about TV shows because I don't watch any :( I cancelled my cable a little over a year ago, so I'm completely out of the loop.

    1. Don't feel left out about the TV shows. 90% of what's on TV is crap anyway!

  3. For the pen try nail polish remover. I can't believe how good your leg looks though after just a week. Healing nicely! I love chocolate cake. No frosting...just give me the cake. As far as TV, if something is going downhill I don't have a problem not watching anymore. I used to be a big fan of the Vampire Diaries (I know...silly) but it jumped the shark so I bid it farewell.

    1. No frosting!!?? ;) I won't judge the Vampire Diaries... I watched all the Twilights. :)

  4. Nail polish remover works for the pen. Your knee looks so good. :) I'm a chocolate person so chocolate cake, chocolate icing all the way - I can't wait to run and spin again so I can indulge a little more. And I'm addicted to Dance Moms...the people on the show are ridiculous but I can't stop watching it......

    1. I see Dance Moms on The View sometimes! It sounds like a train wreck... which means it's prob addicting!!!

  5. Whenever I start a show, I have to keep watching it. For the most part. Like, I spent a ton of time watching "Pretty Little Liars" and so I continue keeping up with it. I have tried to watch "Girls" but can't get through it. I gave up. The same thing with "Breaking Bad," but then I had some time and now I love the show.

    1. When we give up a show we say we "officed" it. Because we gave up on The Office soon after Steve Carrell left. We're about to Office Girls!

  6. Have you tried hand sanitizer for the pen/marker? That usually works like a charm!

    My favorite part of party mixes are those white sticks (whatever they are) and the chex pieces. The rye pieces are my least favorite, so I think we could co-exist at a party together without fighting over the snacks! I would also pass on the carrot cake and head straight to the cheesecake ;)

  7. Mmm, cake! Yum. My favorite flavor is chocolate. My mom makes me this delicious chocolate ganache cake for my birthday every year that is pure heaven! On a side note: I a couple friends who love the confetti cake; I will never understand that! It's while cake with little colored lumps in it. What gives?

  8. Your knee does look SO much better! Have you tried using hand sanitizer to get the pen off? I know it sounds weird, but I remember doing that in the past. I love all kinds of cake, but my favorite would have to be banana cake with buttercream frosting!

  13. I can't STAND anyone on Dance Moms (except maybe the poor kids), but my cousin and I watch if and text each other about it from far away. It's like a train wreck, you just can't stop looking...
    Try the Tide stain pen for the ink on your leg? Lol
