2011 Crossfit Games video. It’s so inspiring to watch these athletes.
Uncommon Green Eyes
I found a guy
with a buzz cut and uncommon green eyes.
He makes me plea for mercy in tickle fights
and calls me baby.
I kick him out of bed in the morning
and am the one to kiss him goodnight.
His actions and words
require no excuse by me
and no defense from others.
By his side
I am distinctly me
and as happy as can be.
Saturday is a Rugby Day
Tailbone injuries suck. I hurt my tailbone when I was eight years old, falling off a horse. It was miserable. I’d hoped to never experience pain like that again.
This weekend, however, I fractured my coccyx after getting high tackled by a college girl at a rugby match. Sure it was a great match. We won. I scored a try and didn’t even have to trudge off of the pitch until 70 minutes in.
On the sidelines though I picked up some ice from the trainers and shoved it between my spandex and shorts. Away from the adrenaline of the game, walking became labored. I felt nauseous and dizzy. I wanted to sit down but my body resented being lowered to the ground. I could tell something was wrong. An hour and a half later the x-rays proved me right.
You never really think about how much time you spend sitting until it’s painful to do so. Driving, biking, dining, sitting at a desk or on a couch. It all hurts. On the bright side though I’ve never had a better excuse to lounge around in bed and blog.
Customer Service
There’s no better way to start off the day than by getting a good night’s sleep. This morning I did just that. I was super productive all morning and was looking forward to surprisingly successful Monday.
Come mid afternoon however the tides turned. Nobody ruins my day faster than call center, customer service representatives. Ironic, right?
We always seem to have different ideas of how to solve problems. So here’s what happened:
(1) After much deliberation we came to the understanding not only of what needed to be done but that I was talking to someone in the wrong department.
(2) I got transferred.
(3) Repeat
(4) x4
An hour and a half later I finally spoke with the correct person and started to resolve the issue. As we were reviewing the account changes, the phone cut out. FML.
New Beau
I haven’t been posting all that much original stuff lately, but I’ve got a good excuse. So here goes…
Shortly after I discovered online dating I met my new beau. I messaged him on OKCupid and after exchanging several messages we met up for drink. A drink that turned into a meal, that turned into a month of me being a negligent blogger.
This past Friday we went out to a nice dinner to celebrate mensiversary. Not to jump the gun or anything but we pretty much go together like dates and bacon :)
