Good Ideas

By Courtney 55 Comments

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU, for all of your ideas and advice last night on how I can try to get rid of my little problem. I read through them all as soon as I got home from my softball game (at 10pm) last night, trying to figure out what I could do quickly.

While it appears that the wine in a cup trap will do the trick, I’m sorry, but I’m just not about to share my $7.99 bottle of Barefoot Pinot Grigio wine with those little pests. I.don’t.think.so.

So right before heading to bed, I added a squirt of dish soap to my apple cider vinegar and I think I may now have 6 fruit flies in there. Hey, at least we’re making progress.

*****

This morning,it was BodyPump time. This was actually the first class I’ve taken in two weeks and I was excited to see that the instructor finally switched things up. I was getting pretty bored with the latest release, so today’s BodyPump 75 release was a welcomed change.

On a side note…would you believe that I’m still sore from Monday’s BodyCombat class? I can’t believe it. I even had to decrease my weight on a few of the tracks. Whew!

I followed up BodyPump with 20 minutes of these treadmill intervals before calling it a day and heading home for some breakfast.

I was craving Blizzard Butter in a bad way this morning, so I enjoyed some on top of a lightly toasted Thomas’ Honey Wheat English muffin with banana slices, chia seeds, cinnamon, and honey.

IMG_6038

And since that just wasn’t enough, I enjoyed a little bit more on the rest of my ‘naner.

IMG_6036

A sweaty glass of iced coffee is also currently being sipped on as a type.

Super delicious. Smile

Oky doky, it’s almost time for “Would You Rather,” but first, just a quick reminder…

***You only have until this evening to enter the SOYJOY Daycation Giveaway! Make sure you get all of those entries in!

And now…let’s get to those questions, shall we? I don’t know about you, but I am totally loving these.

WOULD YOU RATHER…

  • Have a painful pimple on the inside of your nose for a week -OR- a bad cold sore for the same length of time? (P.S., pimples in the nose are THE WORST, no??)
  • Live in a house with no windows -OR- no doors?
  • Eat a cup of mayonnaise -OR- a cup of horseradish? (You MUST choose 1!)

    oooh, those are easy ones! :) - painful pimple. those suckers can be covered up with less embarrassment, I think. - no doors. I'm limber.. I can get myself out a window. need that light! - is it bad that I could probably do either? I love horseradish.. but mayo would probably be easier.

    Oh god haha. 1. I would rather have a painful pimple because you can't see it inside the nose 2. Um...live in a house with no doors. I could use the windows as a door :). I'll be creative as long as I can have some sunlight. 3. Mayo for sure. I like mayo...no I've never eaten it straight up...but I think I could handle it.

    Pimple: it may hurt but if it isn't your nose then it would be hidden from view No windows..without door you would have ZERO privacy and anyone could walk in. Horseradish: no question.

    Pimple - because a cold sore would be embarassing. No Doors - because I need some light and I could just get out through the windows. And...horseradish...blech to both, but I think the mayo would just put me over the edge. :)

    Nothing to do with fruit flies- although now I know what to do when I have that problem (happens every year!), but your blog has saved me money!! I LOVE iced coffee's and was spending WAY too much money on them each week. I would go about 3-4 times a week to buy one at my local coffee shop. Since your blog I have begun to brew my own coffee, put it in the fridge and add fat free caramel and chocolate sauce to it. Much less fat and MUCH cheaper! Thanks! I love your blog, you're lots of fun!

    1. pimple in the nose, for sure. No one sees it. 2. I'd rather have windows, with screens, and big enough to climb in and out of. 3. Does eating a cup of mayo count if you're chowin' on some potato salad? Cause some people I know probably use the whole jar. *and gross side note, when I was in middle school, my friends and I would buy "mayo rolls" from a local sub shop for 50 cents. It was straight up mayo on a toasted roll. Kinda skeeves me out now, to think I used to eat them.

    OMG I love this game :-) It is so hard for me to answer #1 - I'd go with the pimple because I can put makeup over it so no one can see. Cold sores are much more difficult to disguise. In the end, I'd rather suffer a little pain in silence ;-) I'd rather live in a house with no DOORs. I could climb out the window DUH! I'd rather eat a cup of mayo. I don't mind it, especially miracle whip ;-)

And a cold sore would be too hard and uncomfortable to kiss my hubby with! 2. I'd live in a house with no windows. I'd want to get out of the house through a door instead of climbing out a window, ha! And if I needed sunlight I guess I could just open a door?! 3. Eeewww yuck! This is a good one!

I can't stand when all the blinds in the house are closed and it's cave-like in the house. I like to see outside! Plus if I had to leave I could crawl out a window. 3. Ew.
