The Overly Wordy Motivational Poster

Pain is weakness leaving the body, girlfriennnnnnnnd!!!


Or maybe it's your plantar fasciitis, tendinitis, arthritis or shit-I'm-old-itis.  Maybe you dropped a 10 pound weight on your big toe when 20 year-old hottie in Lululemon Wonder Buttcheek pants performed dead lifts right in front of you.   Maybe it really is pain, because you seriously think you shattered your hallux along with a few metatarsal and you can't scream because Luluhotpants will laugh at you.

And there, fellow readers, is right about where I stop reading and get sidetracked, go Google image "yoga butts" and lose 23 minutes of my day.

Point being: sometimes pain is painful.  Like, for instance, the time I was doing dumbbell presses and my elbow thought it was a half-day, clocked out early, and left it to the rest of my arm to drop a dumbbell on my face. 

The question isn't how much more can you take, but how much more can you giiiiive...

I'm still all like, "Holy F, this hurts.  Yoga butt...please help me get this 50 pound weight off my face."

Your mind says push harder

No. My mind says, "Dude, you've got a dumbbell on your face and no one seems to give a shit."

You listen.  Or scream...like a 7 year old boy who's just been told we're too poor to afford PS3, so we got you PS2 instead.

Sensing an inner strength that wasn't there before...Like a calming numbness, because you can't tell if your face is losing all feeling or you're  still recovering from the pain of all pains that is getting popped in the nose with a heavy object. 

And suddenly you discover -- you no longer feel pain...because you're thankful Sara the hot trainer assisted you and pulled the dumbbell off your head. However, sadness rushes over you because Ms. Wonder Under never heard you through her Best of Nikki Minaj playlist, took off, got her post workout latte and is now updating her 1378 Facebook friends about "The old dude at the gym who wouldn't stop staring at my ass then dropped a weight on his face."

See.  Pain is painful.

Random Monday Musings

– The ‘Kitty Come Home’ Edition

Kitty continued her ‘Cougz Gone Wild’ tour, last weekend, in the northern part of the Mitten. She and 10 other 5th grade moms took their 5th grade boys for a weekend of juice boxes, Corona Lights, and games of ‘I’ve got the conch.’ 

"It’s 9 p.m. Should we feed them?” was rumored to have been uttered.

Places you can't check into: Applebee’s, the Ohio-Pennsylvania border or anywhere Downriver. 

“Holy sh!t! Jon’s at Applebee’s in Southgate…he’s livin’ the dream, man.”

I’m not a huge fan of hashtags, although you can say so much with one short phrase, and prefer to use the annoying Emoji, including the phallic-looking eggplant 🍆. My favorite Emoji guys are the man couple with blue and orange shirts and Lego hair 👬. I’m certain that those crazy kids at Apple created this Emoji thing to be inclusive, and I’m also certain that in 99.9% of cases, it is used for 6th grade jokes among grown men. The dancing ballerinas must be a close second 👯.

While Kitty was hanging with the other soccer moms, 12 year old and I hung out in Beer City, Michigan for his soccer tourney. Things I learned this weekend:

1. Soccer moms love to drink 
2. Free breakfast is free for a reason 
3. If your 12, it’s all about the hotel pool 

Sometimes I scroll through the old pictures on my phone. I found this gem.

I have no idea why I have it, perhaps the world was just too loud that day. 

I think it's time to start tipping the car wash towel-dry guy $2. I’m kinda on that cusp when I tuck my $1 out the window. Does he think I’m cheap? Shouldn’t I really give more? Do ex-cons even care? How much meth can he actually buy with this? 

What’s that disorder called when your tongue keeps flopping out of your face like the old Tom and Jerry cartoon? I think Miley Cyrus has it. If she can just tuck it back into her skull, I would really enjoy watching this train wreck even more. 

Stay tuned to Kinky Pickles for more of the standards and in the very near future…drum roll…clench your buttcheeks…the world premiere of…Kitty’s Korner
