- Steven got me TWO new medal racks for Christmas. Two! What an awesome surprise (I asked for one)! One is half marathon focused (“Made the Kessel Run in 13.1 Parsecs“), so I put all my half medals on that, and dedicated the older one underneath for marathon medals. Now I need to find a new spot for Thunderstruck, and get to racing – that trail medal holder (the second one he got me) is nearly empty! This is not sponsored.
- Khali keeps getting bullied out of her food because she’s a
slow eater and a pushoverlady. She’s not starving, but I feel bad when the kittens get done with their food and push her out of hers when she’s only half way done.
- I’ve been cleaning up my social media accounts lately – I unfollowed a lot of pages on Facebook, a few Instagram accounts, and a few people on Garmin Connect. Ahh, refreshing! My Facebook account is already a lot better – mostly people sharing personal things and less promotions/ads/filler.
- We’re on season 5 of 6 of The Sopranos. I wasn’t in to it for the first season or two, but am really liking it now! After we finish that, we are going to rewatch all of Game of Thrones to get ready for the final season debuting in April!
Steven did good! I love the medal hangers by Allied – I have two, Jeff has one, and I’m thinking about ordering him for his first marathon medal.
Cleaning up social media accounts always makes me feel good. Hey, tastes change, and it’s OK to stop “liking” something, right?
We had a similar problem with our cats – Henry would snarf his wet food and then push skinny Kip out of the way to finish his. We tried to stand there while they ate so we could intercept Henry but we weren’t always successful.
I felt the same about Sopranos and was really sad when I finished the series. I don’t think I could rewatch all of the previous GOT episodes although I probably should so I’m not as confused when the next season starts.
They make really cool stuff, right?! Are you going to get him the “my first marathon” one that holds one medal? Those are neat! I’m excited for him.
Yep, exactly! I went through all my liked pages on FB and chuckled at how they didn’t apply to me anymore.
I resorted to that a few times too. Picking the cats up and putting them back by their bowls, or blocking them from Khali’s. I wonder if one pet always ends up being dominant like that?!
I just watched the episode last night where the kill Adriana. I was kind of shook. I bet I will be sad when it’s done, but GOT will distract me! We rewatched it all before the last season and really enjoyed it and picked up on a lot more! I think for this new season you just need to remember that Cersei is an evil backstabber, Jamie abandoned her, Khaleesi and Snow finally got together (and are related, ew) and the White Walkers are coming 🙂
Yep, I’m getting him the my first marathon one – figure even if he ends up doing another one, this will always be the special race.
Cool! And it definitely is special! I had my first marathon medal in a shadow box for a long time!
The medal racks look fantastic! What a great excuse to run some more races ;p
Poor Khali, she needs to be more assertive lol.
I barely use facebook and I’ve been unfollowing and made my instagrams private, I’m sick of being bombarded with advertising, mostly from people who have no more of a clue what they are talking about than I do. I call it cyber de-stressing ha ha.
BTW I finally read Severance and really liked it. Also my friends were raving over Obamas best of 2018 lists (apparently his taste in music and movies is really good) so I’m going to work on reading some of his recommendations that I think I’d like.
Thanks!
She does need to be! I don’t see her changing. LOL.
That is a good word for it! So is your insta a lot better now?
Yay, I am glad you liked it! I am excited to see what you read and like off of Obama’s list!
Ooooh, I LOVE your medal racks! I definitely need a new one, but I don’t feel like getting/installing one now, not when I know I’m going to be moving in the summer. Something to look forward to.
I did a pretty big social media cleanse earlier this week, too. I’ve already unfollowed probably 75 percent of my Facebook friends, and on Monday (or Tuesday? I have no idea what days of the week are which this week, haha) I went through my Twitter account and muted everyone whose tweets don’t bring happiness to my life (even though I’m going to be on Twitter a lot less this year, hopefully). So, I basically only follow Lin-Manuel Miranda now 😛
Thanks! And that will definitely be something to look forward to!!!
I should take that step and start to unfriend too. I’ve had some people unfollowed for years and I never look at their account, so why stay friends?!
LOL, sounds like your Twitter will be just what you want it 🙂
Your medal racks look so good. Look at all those medals! You a boss!
I started cleaning up my Instagram feed last week. I’m realizing I follow a lot of people that don’t really add much to my life, and it’s freeing to unfollow them! I’m also trying to decide if I want to keep my Twitter account or not. Maybe I just need to clean it up because I follow way too many people and most of them just angry-tweet, so it’s not a positive environment.
Khali getting bullied makes me so sad. Not nice, kittehs!
Thanks! 🙂
It’s SO freeing! It’s so nice to see things you want to see and that bring you joy or at least a smile to your face, right? Another commenter said she pared her Twitter down to only one person that was positive, lol!
I know. I wonder if they will chill out when they are adult cats?!
Curating your social media experience is so important, and it feels so good when you’ve made it better, right? Congratulations!
Those medal racks are such a good gift for you. Way to go, Steven!
It totally does! It helped me hate Facebook a lot less (I just keep it for my personal training job, otherwise I’d be off there).
Love your medal racks!!! So many medals!
I like your idea about cleaning up your FB feed…I have been thinking about taking a break from FB but maybe cleaning it up would be enough to make me enjoy it again.
Poor Khali – eating slow is so much healthier, and she’s being penalized for it. My mom had that problem with her dogs and she solved it by putting the slow eater’s bowl on the other side of the kitchen…don’t know if that would work for your kittens, they’d probably figure it out pretty quick.
Thanks!
It may! I noticed a difference right away – I felt like I was seeing more personal stuff from actual people (then from there I can decided who to unfollow or unfriend, ha).
It is healthier! Snow used to do that to her, too. He would mow down then move on to her food. I have been thinking about feeding her somewhere different. She is doing fine, weight-wise (the vet said she’s at the top of her healthy weight last February) but I don’t want her to develop anxiety or anything!
A lot of medals, congrats! I have lost many “running memories” when I changed house.
Happy new year
Thanks! Sorry you lost yours! I’d be so sad!
Happy New Year to you too!
