Ankles are stupid

So, for the last year or so (around pregnancy/birth time), I've been exercising. Really starting to get into an actual jog/run pace. Then my ankle happened.

Well, my ankle actually happened at birth and then its initial injury occurred in 2005. Apparently, continuous activity makes a previously injured ankle unhappy.

How the hell do I get decent cardio in without use of my left foot? UGH.

So now I've been hobbled. I'm actively trying not to overeat or I will get super fat. But that's not the worst of it.

My kidneys are jealous of all of this attention that my ankle is getting. You know how they say that to a child, any attention is good attention? Well, my kidneys are fucking 2 year olds.

I have a problem with kidney stones and I'm having a flare up.

My kidneys are stupid, too.


On a side note: I love Under Armour. It was 10 degrees out and I felt like I was running in the spring. UA, you are awesome.

Shame on Me

I've been neglecting my blog! I apologize.


 I need to rant about the local sheep...


So, I'm sure most of you are aware of the nonsense of the arsenic content in apple juice. It's minuscule & obviously a naturally occurring heavy metal. I recently read an article about the up & coming release of arsenic free apple juice. Let's rejoice! IDK about the rest of you but I've drank a good deal of apple juice throughout my life & I don't have an adverse arsenic poisoning. Mostly my problem is what other people have to say about it. One of the local commentators said "If only people would just buy organic- they would get the point!".... What in the hell does organic really have to do with arsenic. It's not like the arsenic is coming from pesticides and/or added hormones. Read a book people.


Hugs & Kisses,

Names... WHY?!

Stasi. This is apparently pronounced "Stacy". WTF? Now, being pregnant myself, I understand not wanting to name your child the same thing as your friends/fam. There are a billion names out there that do not look like you had quit going to school at 6 years old. Maybe I'm being overly traditional but, what is wrong with those? You are still using a "traditional" name, you are just making it look dumb (e.g. Alycya. I wish I had made that one up).

That is all.

Sincerely,
Aymie... Barf. J/K

Grammar

It's only fitting for me to open my blog with a post about the atrocious grammar & spelling that I encounter on a day to day basis. (<--- runon? IDK)

Admittedly, I may be guilty of the occasional grammatical error but, I'm choosing to rant anyway...

Homophones: a word that is pronounced the same as another word, but differs in meaning. Why does everyone suck at these now? I'm pretty sure that you learn a great deal of these in the early years of education.
            
    Here is a list of the ones that especially piss me off:

         *To is a preposition used for expressing direction, motion, movement, contact, or a point.
         *Too is an adverb used to express an excessive extent/amount or in addition to.
         *Two is a noun and a number.

          *Here is a location
          *Hear is what your ears do

         *Wear is what you do to clothes
         *Where is also a reference to a location (Another note... Why is everyone all of a
          sudden having a problem with the "h" in where?! Were is the past subjective of to be. Damn.)

      

I'll stop there.

 Please remember that most word processors have grammar checks now...

Don't ignore squiggly lines!
