I think John likes me!
Woke up with a headache, same headache like I had on Wed. Specific spot on the top of my head and the back of my neck. That’s a stress headache right? And here I thought I could sneak in run in today.
I need to pull it together for a family party for my dad’s 70th birthday today. I’ll go mainline a bottle of Tylenol and see if that helps.
Standing in line at the grocery store checkout with an antsy 6 year old. I’m tired and hangry. I had to do a big grocery shop and all I want to be is home.
Ok, now I managed to brain myself on the trunk lid of my car (a hatchback) after I put all the groceries in. I saw stars.
Oh yes, alcohol will be the first thing to re-introduce when this Whole 30 is over.
Drink the wine…I’m serious, you’ll feel better :) ps YOU ARE TOO AWESOME :) you can do anything!
Awww, geez, thanks!

Wine or vodka. Yes, this might be the first re-introduction.
Today has been off-the-hook crazy with work. So much so that I’m about to start replying to every request (in person and via email) with “do you want fries with that?”. And I need to do some work over the weekend as well before I start covering two jobs next week.
The good news is they hired a new designer. She starts on Monday June 3rd. Problem is my big catalog goes to press on Friday May 31st.
Maybe I should try to re-introduce wine back into my diet before dairy? 4 more days of Whole 30 left to go.
Hydration nudge! Adding some lemon to the water for extra goodness.
And I just remembered that I left a can of seltzer water in the freezer at home as I thought I could quick chill it before bringing it to work. I forgot to take it out before I left for work. Which means the can is going to explode while I’m at work. Which means John will give me a whole lot of “I told you so” when he told me not to put cans in the freezer as I forget and they explode and I wanted to proove to him that I can remember. And I forgot.
Crap.
Looks like I’m cleaning out the freezer tonight.
Taking a break as the rain passes by!
Nooooooo…….! This is terrible news! Awful, horrible, devastating even…..I’m out of Gin and Tonic!!!
Lol! Some couples text a shopping request to each other. We blog it and the other one runs to the store while out on errands. I was able to get some gin and tonic water after munchkin’s swim lesson.
John deserves it after all the wood chopping. If I can’t chop wood, I can provide refreshing beverages to the lumberjack!
Thanks for the memories, David Beckham puts an end to an illustrious career
We could rattle off a list of all the achievements that David Beckham has won throughout the course of his career, but the truth is, you already know. From the free kicks to the H&M advertisements, David Beckham quickly became an ever-present, unrelenting force in sports and style, one of the first footballers to be embraced and recognized on such a global scale. And while some may maintain a cynical perspective on the trajectory Beckham’s career took, we here at AFR HQ will always remember his ability to transform a monotonous, insignificant match, into a spectacle.
As Becks hangs up his boots, here are some thoughts from the people who knew him best, his peers.
“David was different - he was a crosser of the ball, a passer of the ball, he was a joy to play with… He has probably been the most influential player out of England in transforming football. The impact he has had is enormous.” - Gary Neville
“On the pitch, Beckham sees everything before everyone else.” - Carlo Ancelotti
I’m still a bit shocked that David Beckham is retiring! I know you tend to remember the big players when you first start following soccer and he’s one of the big ones for me (along with Michael Owen, Thierry Henry and Steven Gerard). I wasn’t really following him at LA Galaxy and more via the tabloids. Just amazing!
Just realized I miscounted my Whole 30 progress and I end a day earlier than I thought!
Day 25 in progress.
