Friday 5: Loving/Not Loving

January 23, 2015

 Because I probably tell you too much about me already, I’m going to follow Michelle’s lead and make this week’s Friday Five linkup about loves and non-loves.

sprinkles

1. Loving: Our local Mariano’s now sells Sprinkles cupcakes.
Not Loving: I bought a gluten-free red velvet the other day and I swear it tasted like sawdust.

2. Loving: When Athleta has a sale.
Not loving: They sent me the wrong capris. I wanted ones on left. I got ones on right.
Loving: I love the wrong ones.
Not loving: I’m still pining for the ones I ordered in the first place, but the sale’s over.
3. Loving: I’m still sticking with this learn-to-swim thing.
Not Loving: That swimming is still so friggin’ hard for me.

4. Loving: Sitting in the sauna after I swim. I feel like I’m acclimating to the hot race I don’t have planned.
Not Loving: The man that lays on the bench doing crunches/stretches in his tiny shorts and I’m afraid his junk will come out. Look away!
5. Loving: Temps around here have been fairly seasonal.
Not Loving: We haven’t seen the sun in forever.

What are you loving and not? Be sure to join us next Friday (and the last Friday of every month) for the Runfessions linkup. Feel free to include your Gymfessions and Swimfessions too. I know I will!

    Ewww to the junk falling out of the hammock. I’ve been shopping too. I didn’t find anything at Athleta this time around. But the Clymb had some awesome stuff (Aventura). I also persevered and got through to Anthropologie scored big….

    Did I mention my hubs is still out of work.. ?

    I hate when places mess up your order with a delivery! I find it so inconvenient to have to send it back. At least you ended up liking the capris that you were sent!

    You crack me up.. haha. I feel the same way about Sprinkles…a $5 cup of sawdust, although the salted caramel was slightly better. Frowny face on the man who does crunches on the bench– the gym is full of lovely characters–It’s easy to see how SNL gets their skit ideas.Have a great weekend!

    Thanks for the laugh this morning, I needed it! I love it! I love the leggings, both pairs. Oh well. Sorry the sale is gone now.

    Too funny – I love the sauna cats. Lol. It is so distressing when companies mix up your order! Have a great weekend.

  7. Michelle @ Running with Attitude says

    Oh the Sauna Man is just so wrong!! Athleta sales are so dangerous to my wallet – glad you like the ones they sent you…just can’t go wrong with any of their stuff! Have a good weekend.

    Too bad about the cupcake! We used to live close to Sprinkles and I’d get free cupcakes on days when they gave out a code on twitter. The regular red velvet was yummy!

    So disappointing about the cupcake:( Wanted to let you know that I went to a movie with the fam on thursday and the theater was only about 15% full. These 2 people came and sat directly behind my husband and I when there were over 300 empty seats! Plus the lady kicked the back of my seat right when she sat down:/ Reminded me of our discussion the other day. People are weird!

    I like both pair of capris – sorry you didn’t get the ones you were planning on!!!
    I can’t figure out why anyone would want to do crunches in the sauna – weird. Hope you never see stuff you don’t want to:)

    Loving that we had rain on Friday and the temps stayed low.

    Not loving that the temps are back to normal today and that the house smells like puppy wee thanks to a very precious puppy who doesn’t like to get his paws wet.

  12. Christina says

    January 24, 2015 at 7:26 pm

    I’m loving the temps right now too! I feel the weather is spoiling me a bit. Ha ha … the man at the sauna sounds yucky 🙂

  13. Linda @ the Fitty says

    January 24, 2015 at 9:13 pm

    You ought to complain to Athletica! Did you?

  14. Annmarie says

    January 25, 2015 at 8:42 am

    Ew to that guys junk! When I was younger some kid wore short shorts to gym class and his junk did fall out- I was traumatized, haha!

    we have a sprinkles in atl but the prices are OUT OF CONTROL. I refuse to pay that much for a cupcake. I would be even more pissed if it tasted like sawdust 🙂 loving: my friend holly went to the oiselle warehouse sale and stocked up for me!! not loving- the cost of olives dental work put a dent in my running budget. booooo

  16. Whitney @ French Fry Runner says

    January 25, 2015 at 12:48 pm

    Who does crunches in a sauna? Isn’t that supposed to be a relaxing space? Gross.

    Let’s see… Loving: Strength training. Not loving: Sore everything.

  17. Carla says

    January 25, 2015 at 2:22 pm

    Laughing so hard about the guy in the sauna. That’s just not right.

    I love the capris on the right. They are the ones I would have picked. Glad you like them now.

  18. Amy @ Will Run For Ice Cream says

    January 25, 2015 at 6:46 pm

    I love this post! And you had me laughing about the guy in the sauna. I can’t believe that I haven’t been to our Athleta that just opened.

    1. Loving: Our local Mariano’s now sells Sprinkles cupcakes.
    Not Loving: I bought a gluten-free red velvet the other day and I swear it tasted like sawdust.

    Welcome to my GF life…SUCKS!

  20. Sue @ This Mama Runs for Cupcakes says

    January 26, 2015 at 3:05 pm

    Ohhhh, Sprinkles Red Velvet cupcakes are my favorite!

  21. kilax says

    January 26, 2015 at 3:26 pm

    Ha ha ha, I picked up two Sprinkles gluten-free, vegan cupcakes at WF because I had a friend who eats gluten-free visiting, and man, we could only get them down if the bite had some of the frosting in it.

    keep at swimming! I know you will get better and thrive at it! You got this! 🙂
