I was Kate Winslet on Tuesday night’s 6-miler.
Not Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind-Kate. Titanic-Kate.
I had this really icky phlegm coating my tongue. It was distracting. So I spit. I’ve never done that before. I’ve always been too scared I’ll screw it up and I’ll just have saliva dripping down the front of my shirt. I mean, it’s already gross enough to be spitting, but to have it hanging from my lower lip would just be humiliating. Never mind it was dark.
But I couldn’t stand it. The phlegm was slowing me down. I thought of Kate Winslet in that scene in Titanic when Leo DiCaprio teaches her to hawk a loogie. I sort of sucked it into a liquid ball on the tip of my tongue, then blew it out into the grass along the sidewalk.
Spee-it lack ah man! I celebrated in my head.
Okay, so it was a girlie version of how a man spits, but I did it! And I felt so much better afterward.

I tried Zico Pure Coconut Water this week. I saw something on TV that said it is supposed to be really good for you. Good hydration, all-natural and all that.
I just grabbed the non-flavored carton off the shelf at the grocery store, completely missing the fact that there are flavored options available.
At home, I showed it to Mr. T and he smelled it first. Then I took a sip. “Not bad. Tastes like unsweetened coconut.”
Mr. T tried it. “Tastes like sour milk.”
“No it doesn’t.” I grabbed it out of his hand. But then all I could taste was spoiled dairy. Argh. I chugged it anyway. It was refreshing once I got it all down, but next time I’ll get mango flavor.

I’m going on a date with Mr. T and I have been wanting to get a dress. So me and T Junior went shopping today. A little high from my 2-pound weight loss, I tried on a size Medium dress.
Booyah! Totally fit. And it was a cute dress. And it was on sale.
Everything was going so well, then T Junior ran face-first into the wall in the dressing room, splitting the inside of his upper lip. I dropped to the commercial-carpet floor and cradled my sobbing child in the dress. I saw what he did, but still don’t understand how he did it. He was playing with his dinosaur (a dragon from his Happy Meal at lunch) and he just ran straight into the wall. It was so weird.
Luckily, the cut must’ve not been that bad. There wasn’t too much blood, which is good because all I had in my purse was a package of Wet Ones.
And I got the dress, plus a cute little cardigan cover-up…in a Medium. Yay!

Ummm… confession. I spit on my runs whenever I need to. And yeah, I've had the little bit hanging from my lower lip. It's nasty, but I just wiped it off and felt much better after. (Shhh… don't tell anyone!)
Oh, and SUPER cute dress! Yay for a medium! 🙂
I always make sure that I never spit near anyone. I'm always conscious of those around me because the last thing I want to do is spit on someone. I don't even like spitting on the ground where others might step on it. I usually look behind me, lean over to the side and launch.Soon, you shall have this down to a science.
Two things:YuckCute dress!
I spit all the time on my runs! Gotta do what you gotta do.Congrats on the dress. It's super cute. And thanks to Mr. T, I will never be drinking that coconut water!
I always spit during runs! Congrats on the dress. I like it!
Hello, my name is Angie and I am a spit-a-holic. I can't stand any phlem in my mouth and it makes me feel like I can't breathe right.I really like the coconut water and think its refreshing too! I have 4 boys and know about the walking into a wall thing. Its so weird how they just walk into it. Playing too hard and not paying attention.Right on about the dress too! Good for you!
True confession: I can't spit and can't “farmer's blow” my nose. I'm a girlie girl. Maybe Leo will come to my rescue and give me lessons?
CUTE dress, and woohoo for size medium!! Enjoy your date night!
Wai a minute. You spit like a guy and can still get dolled up in the evening? Man. Us men are in trouble now!
I always spit like a man during my runs. I've even blown my snot in my shirt, so gross haha. Congrats on the size medium 🙂
Oooo spitting like a dude! Yeah, I don't do it much…unless bugs fly in my grill, yo. ;)Hurray on the size medium outfit! Is that the dress? It's cute!!
LMAO! I used to say I'd never spit AND… now I do. Sometimes spit happens.Zico water is great while running FYI, it has more potassium than banana's! So I usually just throw a little in my water.Fab, fab, fab dress and so happy the little one is ok!
So many spitters! 😉
Ha! That movie was on TV last night. Running has taught me how to spit too. I hate it. Its sooo gross but sometimes it cannot be helped.
