ASICS - Made of Sport
I am made of belief, not barriers.
I am made of sweat, not swagger.
I am made of many, not one.
I am made of the next point, not the last.
I am made of blazing trails, not following paths.
I am made of every hurdle I’ve cleared, not just the ones on the track.
I am made all the days you don’t see, not just the one you do.
I am made of everything to come, not just what has been.
I am made of sport.
Sh*t Chicagoans Say Video NEW- I know the sh*t ____ say videos have totally jumped the shark, however this Chicago one is much better than the one out yesterday and gave me a few laughs. Enjoy or I will slap that ketchup soaked hot dog out of your hand.
Today, in movie lines, as acted by the cast of Spaceballs.
Dark Helmet: Careful you idiot! I said across her nose, not up it!
Laser Gunner: Sorry sir! I’m doing my best!
Dark Helmet: Who made that man a gunner?
Major Asshole: I did sir. He’s my cousin.
Dark Helmet: Who is he?
Colonel Sandurz: He’s an asshole sir.
Dark Helmet: I know that! What’s his name?
Colonel Sandurz: That is his name sir. Asshole, Major Asshole!
Dark Helmet: And his cousin?
Colonel Sandurz: He’s an asshole too sir. Gunner’s mate First Class Philip Asshole!
Dark Helmet: How many asholes do we have on this ship, anyway?
[Entire bridge crew stands up and raises a hand]
Entire Bridge Crew: Yo!
Dark Helmet: I knew it. I’m surrounded by assholes!
[Dark Helmet pulls his face shield down]
Dark Helmet: Keep firing, assholes!
We all agree that these are the best animal crackers of all time, right? (Taken with instagram)
Big day over here so you can bet that I’m going to be Stuart Smalleying my tush off until close of business.
If you have any spare fingers to cross or novenas to pray, please help a sister out. (Because I’m good enough, smart enough, and doggone it, people like me.) Thanks!
Haven’t done one of these in a bit (forgot to post this yesterday) and I know you’ve (not at all) been missing my iPhone face. Lazy Monday was spent repping the boyfriend’s home team and kicking around in some dunk lows. I know you can feel it, say it with me, “sex appeal”(positively joking).
Needed to put myself in check and remember some simple things today. Hoping this helps.
“Maybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’t. Maybe you’ll have children, maybe you won’t. Maybe you’ll divorce at 40, maybe you’ll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary. Whatever you do, don’t congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance. So are everybody else’s.”

I wish I would have had a ball pit for my birthday parties. This thing is toddler heaven.
Spent my evening blowing up balloons for my nephew’s 3rd birthday party tomorrow. The theme is Diego/jungle and this palm tree with a banana bunch in it took a lot longer to make than you’ll ever guess. Concrete evidence that I am neither Martha Stewart nor a circus clown.
