I figured at least one of you would laugh at the pic of Irish Sunglasses. We were laughing as we posted it. hahahahaha

its a sponge with some kind of product in it (not gooey, its just sponge), and all you have to do is get it wet, scrub, rinse, and keep going. it will disintegrate as its used, so when its done it’s gone.
its amazing.
if FEELS good, too. we had the, “if you turn out to be crazy” conversations early on, both of us having lots of good stories with LOL’s and facepalming.
got mah hairz did this morning. just a trim, no worries. im pretty sure the lady who does my hair could solve all of the worlds problems. just ask her. also, there is NO way i’d spend that much time straightening, using cremes, blah blah blah on a daily basis. i dunno how some people do it. bun works fine for me, as does air drying.
pics later tonight.
Yeah, I haven’t had a working hairdryer for about 20 years. I keep it longish because short hair requires styling and regular trims. Every so often I’ll trim my fringe and hack the end of my ponytail and I’m done.
haven’t cut mine in ohhh… 14 months… yeah I’m due but I have different priorities, like pedicures. Go figure.

Same here. Or waxing. Or manicures.
At the other extreme, I spend a shit-ton of money on my hair. But do my own pedicures most times. Go figure!
oh god i know im horrible about the picture thing lately.
however, i had a good weekend.
friday night- got home, cleaned up the house, packed, wrote instructions for the dogs babysitters (dad and my bro), and drove to london.
saturday am- lift at efs. still on the foam, went up to only 135 for a few sets, but tate said im getting MUCH better, and that now i need to start moving my heels out some, so that im not so duck footed, but that i still need to be able to push my knees out. also, my elbows were somewhere about 2.5 miles BEHIND me when i was squatting. i offered sauce for my chicken wangs. then tucked my elbows.
saturday early pm- pegg brought chipotle back to wendlers after he squatted at lexen (he knows my order and got it PERFECT), then we hit the road for indianna.
saturday later pm- stopped at his parents house to catch up and hang out for a bit. LOVE his parents. they seem to tolerate me, as well. (hafta brag a lil bit. pegg says i get along better with his mom after 2 months than the ex did after six years.)
saturday latest pm- head over to a house party, full of peggs childhood friends. food, beer, and fireworks abound. its much fun.
sunday am/early pm- wake up to the hostess making eggs, sausage gravy, biscuts, and bacon. i helped clean up the bombs that exploded outside. it was about 150 degrees, with 110% humidity. well, felt like it anyway. laid on the couch to watch stepbrothers, said goodbyes, left.
sunday later pm- got AMAZING gyros from a place near peggs parents house. brought some home for my bro, as payment for dog sitting. on the way home, we caught some fireworks in the town about 30 miles south of my place, and pulled over on the shoulder to watch, with about 5 other cars. the fun police showed up about 10 min later and asked us to move. rude.
sunday latest pm- unpacked, showered, died before my head hit the pillow.
monday am- slept in, hung outside with the puppy, makin some vit d, now for food, errands, and more sunshine later. maybe even lifting!
hope everyone had a safe and happy 4th!
Wow, what an action packed weekend! Glad you had fun! Awesome about getting along with Pegg’s mom better than the ex!
Sounds like an awesome weekend!! You hit it all - weights, food, friends, family.
Very proficient! Glad you had fun.
Fun, food and fireworks. I’d say you had all bases covered.
Very cool that you are meeting the fam.
Definitely had a great time this weekend. Thanks Devil Woman!

ya know, pegg, if you werent so godless, it would take less than 10 sacrificed virgins for us to have a good weekend.
…
training at the local
lowest rack pulls mine allows, max triple. got up to 285.
hips didnt feel right, neither did my back, so i quit bc that felt so heavy and scrapped the straight leg deadlifts i was assigned for
lying leg curls, 4x6- 50, 55, 60, 65.
then,
weighted situps 3x 10, with 25lbs. did that on the incline thingy, 3rd rung of 5.
seated db shrugs, 2x20, 55lb dbs.
wg lat pulldown, 2 sec pause on chest, 4x 8 @ 65 lbs. the last set was more slow neg than a real pause, but i got there.
then i added rear delt flyes, 5lb plates in each hand, 3x10.
done!
I left just as some kid started awful squats. i got to the point where i stood, arms crossed, staring at this kid, trying to decide if i should say something. i didnt. im still learning how to squat myself, and i wouldnt have been able to keep from starting off with, “alright you’re fuckin up lemme show you how to do this.” i’ll assume it wouldnt have been well received.
i’ll take another moment to appreciate all the help i get… ahhh, better!
bedtime now! sweet dreams, bitches!
If that 25 lbs. on the situps was behind your head, you get huge props from me. A 10 lb weight decimates me.

ditto. Nice training woman.
Mm weighted sit-ups. Going to have to do some of these, I think.
I’d be happy with 285lb rack pulls but my back got pretty unhappy about me doing them. Smart move not pushing it when your body was saying no. You’re smarter than I was at your age - which is why I’m a messed up old crock now.
You’re pretty freakin’ hardcore.
Just get your ass to the power rack and practice some more squats 
Stars, bacon, and, um, ahem, pussy. Whats not to love?
My God - You have been busy.

if i hadnt been sitting i would have fallen over.
as it is, i almost dropped my mac n cheese.
so fucking good to see you around.
kimba and mim- no, the weight wasnt behind my head, i hugged it. i’ll try behind, next time!
cal- smarter than you were at my age… well, i cant really admit to that, im just listening to the broken old men who are coaching me… tee hee.
nikki- still trying to figure out how im gonna get my squats in this week. im goin to a meet on saturday morning, i might just try to talk someone into letting me work in on their warmup sets… or, i can drive and hour and 10 minutes tomorrow morning to squat at 8am with pegg and chuck v. dunno what would hurt worse, getting up to be there at 8am, or chucks crazy training! (by crazy, i mean beastly.)
zoro- seriously, woman, glad you’re around. we’ll catch up. PM me for fb info or other details/stories.
pegg- bacon and pussy- really, does anyone need more from life?
