Check out this morning’s 30 Days post to share this week’s gifts of the body. Also, thanks for those of you who gave me feedback last night. If you haven’t yet – I would still love to hear from you. 😀

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have no qualms showing the real side of Tina. For fun this Friday, grab some popcorn and sit back for some entertaining glimpses into the real me.

I’ve mentioned before that when I’m at home I live in either workout clothes or pajama/comfy clothes. Those comfy clothes I wear though? They get reused numerous days before making it into the wash. I have only one reason for why I’m not chilling in the same yoga pants and tank I had on last night – they got splattered with enchilada sauce while cooking.

Which comes to real side of Tina #2. I’m a super messy eater. You may want to reconsider ever dining with me at a blogger meet-up. I can’t guarantee you will leave stain free either. By the way – we need to schedule another Atlanta Blogger meet-up soon. Leave me a comment of any places you may want to go and I don’t mind organizing it this time. 🙂

Veggie enchiladas aren’t the only thing that can give me toots. I’m a very gassy and stinky girl. And sometimes, I take pride in the ones that shock my husband.

Another quality on par with the gas? I don’t shower every day. Today I likely won’t shower even though I went to yoga. I showered yesterday afternoon, will shower tomorrow morning, and just don’t feel like it today. 

The microwave is a good friend of mine. In fact, I nuke my oats every morning.

I have weird cleaning habits. I can go weeks without dusting or vacuuming the carpets, but must wipe down the kitchen sink after each use and clean the kitchen counters and table every day with Clorox wipes.

I don’t read much anymore. In fact, I didn’t even finish Eat Pray Love before it had to go back to the library. Which means I get to be #548095 on the waiting list again. Even knowing I have trouble finishing books now, I still will go to the library today to pick up Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. I was #487524980273 on that list so I’m going to do my best to read it in two weeks. Who am I??

Consider yourselves lucky that you know me through the blog. You may not have been willing to befriend me otherwise. 😉 I take that back. We all have our quirks and dirty little secrets. Care to tell me one of yours? 😀 C’mon! I told you I get kicks off my flatulence!

Sometimes you just need…

…a good cry. My hormones drove me crazy this past week. I think they played a big role in everything I felt a few days ago as well. Or at least made it easier to let those thoughts bring me down at the time. Mentally, I felt much better by Wednesday night. Emotionally, I still felt off until last night. I popped in The Last Song and let the tears flow. Even though I didn’t feel upset about anything in particular, I just needed a good cry and felt much better afterwards. Strange, but true.

…to sleep in. Yep. I slept in until 7 am this morning. My body still awoke around 5 am but instead of just getting out of bed and using that time, I forced myself to stay in bed. I only dozed off and on, but I awoke with more strength and energy.

…to say no. Poor miss M did not like that I would not allow her to watch an extra episode of her favorite show. I stuck to my guns and said no. I ignored the tears, squeals, and pleas for attention from throwing things. She needs to learn “no” sticks to life like duct tape.

…to say yes. When Peter learned his work sponsored lunch wasn’t until next Friday I had no problem saying yes to an impromptu lunch date so my man wouldn’t starve. We went to Tacone, a specialty wrap cafe. I love this place! I ordered a wheat wrap wit fish, shredded cabbage, red onion, tomato, lettuce, pico de gallo, and cilantro ranch. Definitely worth saying “yes”.

…to sing at the top of your lungs in the car. On the way home from lunch I belted out all of my favorite songs that played on my favorite radio station. I listen to a Contemporary Christian station and praising God out loud in such a positive way truly uplifted me. One of my favorites -

…earplugs. While I sang, M tried to outdo me with her renditions of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and the ABCs. Let’s just say she has my genes and nails on blackboards sound better. It’s still pretty cute though. I’ll have to get a youtube video of that for you. 🙂
