Every once in a while, something comes along that attacks the internet. Like a virus that lays eggs in your computers and makes it's way into your homes, whether you like it or not. Like Rebecca Black's atrocious hit, Friday (that we all couldn't shake from our heads) or the act known as planking (admit it, you've tried it); It's what has become known as 'going viral'...

Just because I should do something or something is good for me, doesn't mean I enjoy doing it. Let me make my discomfort and displeasure known. For instance: I've actually purchased entire outfits in order to avoid doing laundry. And I will find new ways to procrastinate just so I don't have to clean.

New years resolution time is here and I'm going to bet that at the top of many of our lists is 'exercise'. I know it's at the top of mine. Only problem is, I hate running (and by default, all forms of exercise). I fear that this will most likely never change. So my only course of action is to really try and come up with new ways of motivating myself. 

It takes a lot to get me...

If you're like me, you probably have a huge collection of souvenir tees from various events. That charity run you did last August (yup, you've got that tee) or that time you volunteered for the food bank (that one is somewhere in your closet too).

Today was one of those days where my mind and reality were not in synch.  While my mind told me I could totally handle all of my appointments, a workout and prepping for a party, reality was I was late for all of it and today was unbelievably hot.  Crazy hot weather makes every task more challenging because sweating (and usually, swearing) is involved.
