Five on Friday

1. Ironman Louisville

It's Iron Weekend here & I get so excited.  I will probably never in my life do an Ironman (notice how I say 'probably'? - you never know what could lay ahead...) but I can help out at Ironman & that is exactly what I'm doing Sunday.... in 98 degree heat.  Oh sweet Lord.  If these amazing people can do 140.6 miles in that temperature, I can help them out!  I'm going to be working in the women's tent & CANT.WAIT!  I get to actually talk to the athletes & encourage them one on one this year instead of screaming from the side lines..... & the one reason why I do most things... I get an Ironman Volunteer T-shirt! I'm going to wear it like a medal myself!

PS... pray for these athletes.  No joke. The temps are going to be ridiculous. The hottest day we've had here all year... I get nervous for these strangers.


2. Jersey Belle

Anyone else watching this on Bravo?  I am loving it.  I think its funny how this "Jersey girl" is adapting to the South, but what I find so funny is while I guess I can be considered a Southern Girl (is Kentucky considered South?... we're kinda middle, but people consider us the country bumpkin's of the US... anyhoo....) & I feel like I relate to her more then anything.  She's loud.  She says what she thinks.  Her friends are constantly saying "you can't say that'... maybe I just relate because it has the word BELLE in it... ya think?  Or should I say, "Y'all think?" :)

& is it me or does that 2nd girl on the end from the right remind you of the girl from 30 rock?  Or a blonder, tanner Lauren Conrad?

See the resemblance?

3. Veggetti

 

I want one of these babies.
I keep seeing all these recipes on Pinterest & on health food sites that make all these pasta dishes with zucchini .... I want to try it so bad.
I think I saw it at Walgreens the other day. I need to make the splurge & give it a try.
I did see a more 'solid' looking one on Amazon the other day.  It's in my wish list. 
Anyone do this with zucchini?  Is it worth the investment in a good machine?


4.  Microwave Disaster

 

So.... I messed up....
Wednesday, I went to turn the timer on the microwave.  It's louder then the one on the oven.  I didn't realize I turned the actual microwave on with nothing inside.  It ran for about 7 minutes.
It fried up.
We're lucky it didn't catch on fire.  I'm lucky it didn't catch on fire. I'm already in the dog house for burning up our microwave.
Ricky says I did it on purpose because I've been wanting a new microwave & oven.
I mean, you cant get a new microwave without a matching oven - right?
.... Day 1 & I already needed to use the microwave at least 3 times...
how did people live before these things?




5.  All About That Bass

I am  so in love with this song right now.  It makes me want to get up & dance every time I hear it.  Makes me want to do some sort of mashed potato or twist dance.  Hello 50's.

Side Note: Why does every song have to have curse words in them now. I value the clean radio versions... but no video for it is out yet... so excuse the few bomb-droppers in the video.  Just dance away & ignore the bad words.  Focus on the message.  You're beautiful from the bottom to the top.

Dance into the weekend!!!
 

 

Happy Friday everyone!
