It’s Thursday as I write this, but chances are most people will read this on Friday. Just pretend — and then the weekend will be here before you know it!
1.
Yay women! Although equality between men and women are not 100% — the equality we have in the US is 99% better than many countries in the world. It’s inspiring to read stories about women fighting for their rights and it makes me realize how much I take for granted. Hell, just watching Mad Men makes me realize how much I take for granted. To the women before and the ones who are still fighting – THANK YOU.
2. Did you read the story about dumbass who won 1 million dollars in some Michigan lottery program and then decided she was still ”struggling” so it was OK for her collect $200 a month in food assistance? Did anyone TELL you to buy a new car and a new house?? I was SO infuriated!! Not only did she do NOTHING to earn the million dollars — but then she was scamming the govt?? What is wrong with people? Why did she feel SO ENTITLED?
Apparently the state of Michigan has, rightly, stopped assistance. I hope they sue her ass or at the very least make her pay it back. I understand that it wasn’t against the law (she was unemployed) — but COME ON. When there are people legitimately living WAAAAY below the poverty line (IN DETROIT of all places) what makes you think it’s OK to take assistance?
3. I did this workout tonight and my arms want you know that you should do it too. I used 8lb, 10lb, and 15lb weights and did 3 rounds of 12 with a minute of jumping jacks between each circuit. It took about 25 minutes and I was on FIRE a the end.

As you can see I have been avoiding running. My body has been craving sleep and I’ve been giving in. Then today I woke up with a random sinus headache (still have it). I’m neti potting like a fool, drinking copious amounts of grapefruit juice, and taking vitamins hoping to avoid a cold. PLEASE let me enjoy Sunday’s race!! PLEASE.
3TT Random question: What would you do with a million dollars?? I WOULD INVEST. Why don’t more people do this????

Well.. for sure if I had a million dollars, I’d come off of food stamps!! Silly woman..didn’t she think she would be caught? Now, she’ll be fined and still be a rich woman! Selfish woman! As far as your work out.. I tried to do the one you posted the other day with 100 jumping jacks… made it to 30 before I fell down hardly breathing.. must be something the young can do..not your old Mom! Stay healthy, drink some green tea, be careful of that Neti, Ive read it can breed the infection. Blowing the nose is also a good thing. Hope that Vit C is one of your intake on vitamins. Best of luck on your race on Sunday..the weather looks absolutely wonderful.. and you should be at least to meet you PR!! Don’t forget your garmin!! Be safe and have a wonderful time.. Hugs..
I would definitely invest and then get involved in a lot of charity work (I think I’d be bored if I just stopped working altogether). I’d also pay off Kevin’s student debt, my sister’s schooling and buy my parents a house to retire in.

Hope your headache gets better. I did see the video about the girl who won the lottery and still collected. Are you joking? It seems like they are also going about getting laws in place to avoid this in the future. The way they were set up she technically wasn’t doing anything legally wrong. Just morally. Sickening!

I pay off a bunch of things like cars and my house and then I would invest what’s left.
