Memorial Day (or Me-S’more-ial Day as it has been renamed by myself) was a much needed long weekend. We went to Tennessee and did a whole bunch of nothing. On the drive home we stopped at this huge rock that you climbed up and then you could see this valley. And the dog was terrified.
Now only a week and a half before Jon and I go to the beach. Its going to be hot as fuck.
It was a beautiful morning in K.C. Sun shining, geese honking, Pa unloading boxes, and fine folks showing up to run a little run.
After a jaunt around Loose Park Loop, we caravanned to Panera for a healthy lunch.
Mucho hot run meant sweat all around. But we basked it in.
A fun three hours in K.C.
Total pounds lost as a group: 830.
Total pounds lost as a tour: 1,120Badassery abound.
Hey! I know one of these people. Ad that dog.
If you are considering me to babysit your children, please also consider the following conversations I had with a 16 year old under my tutelage:
Item 1.
Kid: Can I blow out a candle with this air horn?
Me: Yes, do that.Item 2.
Me: Do you have homework?
Kid: I-
Me: I don’t actually care, but you can’t say I didn’t ask.Item 3.
Kid: This is probably a really bad idea.
Me: Maybe so, but that’s okay. DO IT!
Ha, how did that air horn thing work out?
![I love this.

Hero Fireman of the Day: It’s the feel-good story of the day: Redditor Logan Fernandes on Sunday shared the life-saving heroics of an Indiana firefighter who saved a kitty from a fire when it seemed all hope was lost.
Fernandes reported that his mom’s neighbor Vincent, whom Fernandes called “mentally challenged,” had left a candle burning in his apartment and one of his cats knocked it over.
He came home to his house in flames. After being told there were no other people inside, the fireman were resigned to let the cats go. While the guy was having an emotional breakdown about losing his cats (“They’re all I’ve got!” he kept saying) one of the firefighters searched for nearly 15 minutes and found one alive. [H]e stayed outside giving it mouth to mouth and oxygen for 20 minutes until she started purring again. Needless to say, he’s f*cking awesome.
Domino was taken to a vet, who promised the kitty is going to make a full recovery. Meanwhile, Reddit users have raised more than $3,500 for Vincent, who lost his other three cats and his apartment in the fire. He’s managing, but “having a hard time with it.”
Still no word on the identity of the hero fireman.

Mommy, I apologize for the following things I’ve done:
- Shooting out our glass door with John’s BB gun and in the process almost shooting him.
- That time I glued pink paper to the walls in every room in our house.
- When I screamed at you in the car because I wasn’t tall enough to drink from the…
Marge, I just love you. This made me laugh incredibly hard. And was adorable too. I need to hear more about this running away with all of the tuna thing…
Around the World in 80 Plates is like Top Chef and Amazing Race had a baby, and that baby is glorious.
There is so much going on and I just need to get away from it all. A huge amount of stuff could change in the next couple of weeks if I get this pending promotion….and it is really overwhelming to think about. I try to forget about it but its constantly on my mind. Can’t wait for this weekend.
