MADLips

Hey.  So, I’m still here.

A quick recap of what’s been going on with Miz:

1. Wedding Planning
2. Exercising/Personal Training
3. Paleo – Fighting with my diet
4. Most recently, soccer…

Let’s start with how I see most women planning their weddings:

Look! She's utilizing an actual planner!

Holy sh*t! Someone used TABS and dividers!

Yeah, about that… Here’s MY version of “planning”:

This is what they call a "clusterf---," kids.

Yep, I have ALL of my Wedding To-Dos scribbled across three pages of an Office Depot 1 Subject Notebook.  (A 70-sheet-er, might I add.)  AND the best part is that none of the To-Dos are in order of relevance and/or time.  Hell, I even scribbled EXTRA notes in the margins.  Take that, Organization and Order!  I laugh in the face of yous guys!

Goddamn it, BeBe.

Despite my procrastination and lack of organization, the wedding is still coming together quite nicely simply because…well… I like getting schtuff done.  If you know me well, you’ll remember I’m one of the most impatient people ever.  (Not necessarily OUTWARDLY impatient but if something needs to be done and isn’t done ASAP, I start panicking and freaking out…inwardly.)  I’ve also been lucky enough to have some kick-butt friends and family in and around KC helping me plan and cross off scratch off things on the To-Do List.  In the words of Bowfinger’s Kit Ramsey…

Random news from the MAD Lips (and I need your FEEDBACK):

• Bodyrock.TV is great, and I’ll be doing another post on that later, I promise.  Insanity still kicks my butt.  Also, I need to run more.  Three miles blew goats the other day.
• I read The Hunger Games and can’t wait to see the movie.
• I plan on “going Paleo” [again] for awhile.
• I NEED YOUR FEEDBACK, Betches!  I’ve considered creating a Vlog for the blog (i.e. Videos of me talking about certain subjects and stuff and things).  Thoughts?  Opinions?  Random words to type relating to a possible Vlog? As Randy Jackson would say, it would be “MADLips Vlog Blog, Dawg!”

Huge Dork = Me.  Until next time!

I have a new task, a new pursuit, a new goal I must achieve…

Down with Tania.

For those unfamiliar with Beach Body’s Insanity exercise program, she is one of the people jumping, flailing and drenched in sweat in the DVDs.  Given, I don’t have anything against her personally.  I will also not literally go after her.

I’ve just always been annoyed with her in the videos.  If anyone, Sarah understands this.

So, she must be defeated.
And I will defeat her.  I will kick her ass in reps and speed, not take as many breaks as her, etc.

I have a vendetta to compete against (and beat) someone in an exercise video.  Neat.

And I’m also teaching myself “Reading Rainbow” on guitar.  So…that’s awesome.

Hey, you have to keep things interesting, ya know?

A bout of homesick hit me quite recently.

Whilest pondering the fond memories of KC summers past, and whilest typing in awkwardlyst mannerst (what the hell am I typing?), I decided to do it.  Buy the ticket.  Book the flight.

I’m coming to KC in August. 

Sadly and excitingly enough, a lot of my trip will be focused around restaurants and friends and family meeting me at said restaurants.  Okay, DRIVING me to said restaurants cuz I’m sure as hell not going to have a car.  What’s in the plans?

• Oklahoma Joe’s
• McCoy’s
• Jose Pepper’s
• Blanc Burger
• Johnny’s Tavern (for…wait for it, wait for it…pretzels and cheese!)

If possible, I’d like to hit up Genghis Khan, Blue Koi and Waldo Pizza, but we shall see.  I’m seriously going to gain about 10 pounds over my trip, but it will be so worth it.

A Sporting KC game, the Keyhole and the second night of Kanrocksas are also in the plans.  SO excited.  42 days…

And definitely counting.

You know you need this some…most days for work:

Warning: NSFW (or turn down the volume/wear headphones)

The music at the end ties everything together quite nicely.

Thanks, Tosh.0 blog.

Have a lunchtime tree pic…

It pours.  No, really.  Literally.  It may be the Sunshine State, but when it DOES finally rain, it’s ridiculous.

The Dude and I went to another Strikers game last night.  The game was supposed to start at 7:30… *cue rain*….delayed to 8:15… delayed to 8:30… by this time, the rain was coming down in buckets/sheets (sheet buckets?  buckets of sheets?), so we decided to leave.  Some people toughed it out and waited around longer in the downpour; regardless, the game ended up having to be rescheduled.

This was NOT me last night. Showerheads were also not involved.

Random of the Day: We went to go see the movie Bridesmaids tonight, and before we went in, we donated blood at the mobile blood bank parked in the parking lot of the theater.  Save a life.  Give Blood.  And in this case, get free movie passes.  Score!

Naming a ship or a boat makes sense to me.  Hell, I’ve started naming my cars over the past 5 years or so.  (BTW, my Fit’s name is Bloobs.  It’s a little blue spaceship bubble.)

Anywho, what I do NOT understand is naming your car or, in this case, motorcycle and getting a decal with the name of it placed on the car.  Case in point right here:

The White Satin Beast

Damn phone.  Okay, I know you can’t read it, but on the back, it reads “Nights in White Satin,” a play on the The Moody Blues’ song “Knights in White Satin.”

To each their own, I suppose.  I digress…

We have seen some excellent names for boats down here, however.  I’ll try to post more on here.

What do you think?  Have you named your means of transportation?  If it’s okay to name your boat, is it okay to name your bike, your moped and your motorized wheelchair scooter?

Until tomorrow…

It’s become a running joke between The Dude and I that if I ever decide to go for a walk or run toward the beach, 9 out of 10 times, I will encounter this:

Annnnnd guess what.  That’s right -  It happened again today.  Cool thing is I get to see a lot of big, fancy yachts and sailboats and stuff while I wait.
