Randomness...

So I am very random so here are a few posts in one.

I am trying to clear my pictures on my phone and I just don't think I should make separate posts about these.

So here goes:

Man. When I saw this on my way to the mall with Kevin I was praying we came to a red light because I needed to get a pic of this car.

My mom and I used to have a car like this (with the roof of the car on the inside peeling off).

It just brought me back to my childhood and made me laugh and make my boyfriend think I am more of a dork... haha!

In late-April, Baskin Robbin's was selling $0.31 ice cream scoops.

It was yummy but wish it was a better day: weather-wise.

Days before this it was hot like no other and on this day it was so cold I need a jacket and a scarf.

But it was fun!

Kev n i invited his oldest niece and nephew (Jess and Justin) to go get some ice cream. They loved it as much as we did.

Now this pic was taken inside of Toy R Us.

What made me take a picture of all of these exercise equipments was the fact that I don't even use some of this crap.

Yes I should exercise more and I do use the exercise ball to stretch and sit ups but...

Really? Do kids REALLY need all these things to strength train or do push ups or use a parachute (which I still don't know what they use it for!!!???!!! can anyone help???)

I mean yes there is obesity in young kids and yes they should get up and do stuff... but... shouldn't it be stuff like playing basketball, baseball, kickball, jump rope, swimming, taking a walk or doing things with parents???

I mean, those bands on the middle shelf are DANGEROUS and you need the supervision of an adult to make sure they don't hit themselves in the eye!!! I'd be scared to use it myself!

The only time I ever used a band like that was a few weeks ago in a yoga class and the instructor kept telling us PLEASE be careful every 20 seconds as we were doing the exercise.

And now Reebok has invented this for kids????? I mean WTF!??!?!?!?!

Can anyone explain this to me?

Does this make sense to you?

Am I being a little too crazy to find that this is crazy way for kids to lose weight???

Please PLEASE shed some light for me about this.

I'd appreciate it!

This store has been around for forever but I have never been inside it!

So my 'virginity' to this store was broken the other day.

I might just like this a bit more than their competition H.D.

What do you guys think?

Lowe's or H.D.???

They had really pretty flowers and their prices were really awesome as well!

See. I told you it was randomness like no other!

Hope it was fun for you like it was for me! {haha}

Happy happy MONDAY!

And the race is off...

There ya have it!

My week.

Crazy?

Nah. Not yet.

Nursing school is coming.

It'll get a whole heck of a lot crazier after I start classes again...

ugh.

Sooooooooo dreading it!

And what are your plans this monday?

Is it nice where you are?

Here not so much.

It's supposed to rain and be cold and yucky alllll.day.looong.

That's spring weather for ya.

But I can wait for the humid and stuffy hot weather... yep.

That much I am sure of.

=}

Yep. I did it.

{pic from here}

I went to the gym!

Hoorah!

Who said I couldn't do it? Huh? HUH???

Anywho, let's see if I keep at it the rest of this week!

Can I?

Will I?

Well I should - unless I want to weight too much and then my heart will stop working...

I don't want that to happen.

I kinda need my heart.

It kinda keeps me going every day.

Especially when I need to be a hopeless romantic and cry at the cheesy romantic and cute commercials.

Plus I need it to pump blood to the rest of my body.

That would help as well.

So if I don't exercise my heart might get clogged and that isn't right because my heart has been good to me.

It doesn't deserve the fat and grease I feed it every time I pop a french fry in my mouth.

It really is taken for granted the heart.

I can't feel it unless Irun up the stairs and are running out of breath by the time I hit the second floor of a 3 floor apt complex...

Or up the one set of flight of stairs to my room from the living room.

So really. It's not just to look good that we should all workout.

It's to give that great organ of ours a little help.

Help that it has always asked of us silently as it sits there between membranes, tissues, muscles, bones and lungs.

Give your heart a little love every once in awhile.

Go workout.

Make it beat fast so it can speak to you - it will thank you later - when you can no longer move as fast as you can now.

Enjoy the endless possibilities that your heart gives you while your young.

Because once you decide to grow up and stop caring for yourself and start caring for those around you, your heart will care for you because it knows that you cared for it once.

When you were young. When you went to workout. When you ran that extra 30 seconds on that treadmill. When you thought you were gonna fall off but didn't and at the end of the run how great it was to feel the sweat roll down your brow to your cheek.

See the heart remembers that. Even though you just think it's sheer hurtful at that moment, your heart is content to be exercising itself and get extra strength to help you out when you forget about it.

The heart is caring.

So care for your heart now.

Stop eating that cheeseburger and fries and milkshake.

Go workout.

Almost at the 400 mark...

Can I make it to the 500 mark by next month?

Is it possible???

Well ... maybe.

Almost ever since I started this blog I've had a sitemeter ALL.THE.WAY. at the bottom of my page counting to see how many people visit/search/see/find my blog.

I have to admit it's fun to go on there and look at how many different locations there are.

I especially like seeing the little green dots in like Russia, China, India, Australia, France, Portugal etc etc.

I know most of the numbers shouldn't even count because when I look I see:

time on site 0:00

so maybe I really haven't had 398 visitors but so what?

That's a lot for me!

I mean I am pretty much a nobody in the blogging world because I'm a poor college student/nursing student/nurses aide from northeast USA.

But I feel so privileged to have been visited by many awesome people like many of my daily reads.

<-------------------------------(which are over there on the left side of my blog .... )

So whomever has visited THANK YOU!

I am just here sharing tidbits of my life and of course life with my lovely boyfriend.

I hope I enrich your lives in some way...

Even though half the time they are boring posts and most of the time I am not as creative as many other bloggers are.

=)

you know who you all are!

But I still try and am still smiling at every sunrise that shines through my blinds....

i should be...

but i am more like this:

i am just randomly goin here and there to watch this or that...

read an article here and there.

get a dose of my daily fixings...

i am still tired and sleepy but i can't seem to go to sleep again.

once i wake up to pee... i cannot lay in bed anymore... night shift is a stinker!
