Salt N Pepa's Here And We're In Effect

Actually, only my new friend "Salty" is here.

He's going to help get rid of my itchy throat.

He's kind of yummy, kind of nauseating.

He'll make you bloat, and make your potato chips taste good.

He's white, can be from the sea, and draws water to him like a machine.

He's my new best friend.

He says "hey girl hey!"

Anyway, I'm kind of sick. Emphasis on "kind of". I don't get sick, like ever, or I am in complete and utter denial. My only problem is my throat itches like crazy and my ears are full and icky.

Now, this is a typical day for me in allergy land, but since I'm sick, its especially bad.

It ruins everything. If you're gonna be sick, don't you want all out, feel crappy, look crappy stay home on the couch and watch bad tv all day? Yeah, me too.

Oh well. Salty and I are heating things up in the hot tub (him, not me) and we'll see how he likes it when it becomes a jacuzzi.

Second, I am not caught up on "Parenthood."

I'm not watching tonight's but I finally watched last week's episode.

And if you didn't know that I have a major crush on Adam Braverman due to his normal antics, check this out:

"Malibu's Most Wanted," anyone?

Pretty Fly for a White Guy?

I think so.

Happy Tuesday.

Radio Station? Crustacean? Eustachian?

So I think I have one of these three things (or a combination of the three):

1. Ear infection

2. Sinus infection

3. Common cold

Why do I think this?

Well, for starters, I feel as what I imagine a cat with a hairball must feel like. Something is stuck in my throat. And whatever it is, does not come up. I also don't cough anything up (gross, I apologize).

Second, it is all in my ears and my throat. When I have allergies that is what is worse too. But I took my meds, and most of my sinuses feel dry.

Third, well, I'm convinced I have a very small eustachian tube, because, my ears ALWAYS feel plugged. Even when I get them irrigated by the doctor, I have one day of clarity and then I'm backed up.

I'm having some tea, and will be heading to bed after my shower, in hopes of knocking this one out.

Vomiting

No, I do not actual have to throw up.

I'm just posting a bunch of words, in a blob, aka "word vomit" style.

I've decided that I need to switch up my workout.

Running like a crazy person isn't getting the job done.

Enter the dreaded StepMill.

I always set it for 30 mins, but today, I actually did it for 30 mins, interval style.

I of course had to run after.

Go me.

I like to say: StepMill: 0, Lindsay: 1

In other news, my sister, is possible allergic to red dye.

She had reactions as a child, and she is now having them again.

What's she going to do without Red Velvet Cake?

Strawberry jell-o?

Fruit punch?

Her world must be ending.

Adios!

Footloose and Fancy Free

If you did not know, Footloose is definitely my all time favorite movie. I haven't watched it recently (shame on me) but I really love the movie. I love Kevin Bacon's character, Ren McCormack and John Lithgow's character, Reverend Shaw Moore. I love the idea of books being banned and not being able to dance in a small town and a guy from the big city coming in to change that. I love the 1984-ness of it, I know that's not a word, but I still love it.

My heart broke in a million pieces when I saw they were remaking it, with rap in it? Something about that ruins it for me. I was watching Blake Shelton's video for Footloose and I felt forced to like it because its Blake Shelton. I don't know if I find it worse that they are literally remaking it with the same characters and would I like it better as a sequel, or the fact that it will be different.

Personally, it just won't do as well in 2011. Its too sexed up.

Anyway, this is my favorite scene:

A Little Bit Country

Every time I hear this song, I want to throw on my boots, and a flowery skirt, kick up my heels, fake a southern drawl, and dance around like a crazy girl.

I love this song. When I was visiting my family, I went out with my sister and her friends, to a "pub" that had country night which is clearly, right up my alley. They had a live band, and it was pretty awesome. The drinks were strong, so worth the $$$.

Little Sister (Danielle), and her best friends Leah and Katelyn.

Me and the sister

Katelyn and myself. We don't dance, we drink beer.

Take a listen, and a look, at Mr. Bryan

I have a GIGANTIC crush on Luke Bryan. Damn him for having a GORGEOUS wife.

Anyway, I have this, I don't like to use the word fetish, it sounds so bad, but I have this strong like for country men and their jeans. It just goes hand in hand.

Country singer + good jeans = hotter than a desert day in July.

Here's my list, if you needed to check it out yourself:

1. Luke Bryan

2. Rodney Atkins

3. Jason Aldean

4. Tim McGraw

5. Blake Shelton

6. Charles Kelley

7. Jerrod Niemann

I think you get the hint.

Hope you're having a sensational day!

Oh, I ran 4 miles today. But that's all. One week of vacation killed me. Building back up again.

I love the color pink.

And it will be popping up everywhere this month because October is: "Breast Cancer Awareness" month. I am quite sure that many of you already know this. And if you watched any football today, it was quite apparent with the pink attire that many players were sporting.

Most people know of someone or have a personal relationship with someone who has had breast cancer. My coworker and my aunt, both are currently survivors. With that being said, I wholeheartedly support the cause, but I am also very wary in the way I choose to support. I look at all the hype, hysteria, and knowledge we feed into our people, for one specific kind of cancer. Thanks to the Susan G. Komen Foundation, it is everywhere. I don't want to take away from what a great job that foundation is doing. But did you know that there are other months that support awareness of cancer that you may not know of.

January

Cervical Health Awareness Month

February

National Cancer Prevention Month

March

National Colo-rectal Cancer Awareness Month

April

Cancer Control Month

Cancer Fatigue Awareness Day

Testicular Cancer Awareness Week

National Young Adult Cancer Awareness Week

National Oral, Head, and Neck Cancer Awareness Week

National Minority Cancer Awareness Week

May

Melanoma/Skin Cancer Detection and Prevention Month

Melanoma Monday

Brain Tumor Action Week

Blood Cancer Advocacy Days

June

National Cancer Survivors Day

Sarcoma Awareness Week

September

Childhood Cancer Awareness

Gynecologic Cancer Awareness

Leukemia and Lymphoma Awareness

Ovarian Cancer Awareness

Prostate Cancer Awareness

Thyroid Cancer Awareness Week

October

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

National Mammography Day

November

Lung Cancer Awareness

Pancreatic Cancer Awareness

Did you know about these other days, weeks, or months of awareness? Maybe you did and I congratulate you. Maybe you didn't, and that's fine. Just remember, for every person you know affected by Breast Cancer, you can probably name just as many affected by some other type of cancer. Farrah Fawcett didn't die from breast cancer; Patrick Swayze didn't die from breast cancer; John Milford didn't die from breast cancer.

Every time you buy something pink to support breast cancer, think of how you can also spend or donate to help battle all these other forms of cancer.

Stand Up to Cancer, Not Just Breast Cancer.

I bet most only know the answer to number 1 and maybe number 7 (part of it).

Answers:

1. Breast Cancer

2. Oral Cancer

3. Prostate Cancer

4. Melanoma

5. Brain Cancer

6. Head & Neck Cancer

7. Cancer and/or Gynecological Cancer

I'm excited that my hair is finally growing and will soon (okay maybe by my birthday or shortly thereafter) look like hers. Oh, and I'm hoping to win myself some tickets to her concert.

Recipe available from link as well.

Fall = pumpkin everything.

I bought a new pumpkin candle.

I am holding out for a Pumpkin Spice Latte, but I'm looking for pumpkin flavored coffee.

Mmm, that pumpkin and cream cheese pie looks divine.

I love the look of all those mirrors together.

I want to do this in my apartment.

Chris doesn't understand mirrors that you don't use to look at yourself in.

Flare jeans.

My absolute fave!

Much more flattering than skinny jeans, on me at least.

I have the pair on the left in dark denim and black.

I'm excited to bust them out.

This song.

I'm just like my mom.

We hold our purses the same.

We look the same.

We walk the same.

We like the same things.
