Hot Sauceless + Earning My Keep

This morning was rough. We were out of hot sauce! What are my typical fried eggs without hot sauce?

In light of this misfortune, I decided to mix things up a little bit.

I microwaved a small sweet potato and mixed it with fried egg, green onions, various peppers. I also fried up some turkey bacon which I was going to use, but then it just didn’t sound good so I put it in the fridge for a sandwich/salad later.

Boyd telling us — “YOU NEED TO GET A COUCH!!!” Lol. We a futon, but it’s currently in one of the empty bedrooms. Where it will probably stay. Nobody ever needs to see that. Haha.

Boyd and I got woken up by a kitty-cat yammering in our yard at about 5:30 this morning. For some reason, I couldn’t fall asleep so I got an early start to the gym.

FYI: kettlebell thrusters, kettlebell overhead lunges.

I am so proud that I used a 20lb kettlebell for the entire workout!!  It was tough because there was a lot of holding it above my head in the locked position. You’d think this workout would get easier as you went down the ladder, but even the 3-2-1 are hard because you get very aerobic switching between the exercises. I love mixing cardio with weights!! No wasting time in the gym!!! I finished in 29:35. I set the kettlebell down every single time until 3 reps between lunges and thrusters. 20lbs is heavy!!

Okay, so then I wanted to see some Olympics so this happened:

I climbed the Empire State Building while watching men’s volleyball. Haha. Stairs always make me the MOST sweaty!!

When I got home from the gym, I realized I needed to do some chores. Gotta earn my running shoes! I mowed the lawn. It took me less than 20 minutes. The backyard was really fast, but the front was pretty long so it took a little muscle.

Look what I found in our yard — this isn’t even Instagrammed!!!!

That is dead! Plus it was ugly before it was dead. That thing needs to go!! It’s lucky I don’t know where Kevin keeps his saws.

I guess we almost inherited this gem. I think we’re about thirty years too young for it. I should take it and stick it in someone’s yard as a prank. Haha.

Does Boyd enjoy the outdoor playtime while I mow? No way. He sits by the side door and waits to get back in the a/c. What a little pansy!!!!

I forced myself to eat a big bowl of broccoli slaw for lunch. I figured it was only fair since I sent a bunch with Kevin for his work lunch.

I tried out some of my new Strawberry Basil vinegar. It was pretty good. I also had a leftover burger from Grilling Monday, but it’s too ugly to show.

I’m going to do some baking this afternoon!! I have a few adventurous ideas up my sleeve so we’ll see what happens.

Do you have any little ornaments or things in your yard? We have a little like stone bird thing that I actually like that was given to me as a going-away gift from my co-workers. There’s also some bird house up in our front porch?? I have to get like a baseball to throw at that to knock it down. I don’t think birds live there!! I didn’t mean that to sound violent. It’s just decorative.

Do you do yard work/garden? Not really. I’m a little nervous about Kevin J inspecting my mowing. I have a hard time seeing where I’ve mowed. Lol.
