Epic FAIL
November 1st, 2009 by Kateastrophe
Fun FAIL: Went to bed at 9:30 on a Friday night after changing into my pajamas the second I got home.
Cooking FAIL: We had leftover soup like five nights this week.
Celebration FAIL: Remember that awesome surprised I referred to like a month ago? Yeah, my husband got a HUGE promotion at work which went into effect on the 22nd. We were supposed to celebrate Friday night after his first paycheck with his raise came in. See “fun fail” for more details on why I suck.
Cleaning FAIL: I’m not really sure when I last mopped my kitchen floor. The laundry is piled two basket heights higher than the basket it’s in and my kitchen is still reeling from all the soup I made this week. And don’t even get me started on the bathrooms. (Toilets are clean. It’s just everything else . . . )
Chili FAIL: I made my awesome chili for a church party/chili cook-off on Monday. I won third place, which I consider a fail because second place wasn’t even chili. It was a goulash.
Red hair FAIL: I dye my hair red because I love it but it’s been over two months since the last time I did it and my blonde roots are coming in making me look like I’m going grey.
Exercise FAIL: It’s been three weeks since I worked out so yesterday I punished myself by doing an hour of cardio and an hour of Yoga in the morning. I can’t move my shoulders or legs.
Thanksgiving FAIL: My entire family on my Dad’s side (all four thousand of them. Even the one that lives in Brazil) is going to Columbus for Thanksgiving. And we’re not. Because I just started a job and don’t have any time off and tickets from Phoenix to Columbus the day before Thanksgiving are like eight million dollars. We are the only ones who won’t be there. Lame!
Blog FAIL: I believe that looking at the list above and realizing I count this as a blog post makes this one self explanatory.
Oui vei.

oh yikes to all of the fails above. hopefully there are some WINS in your future. and third place chili still sounds delicious, i’d eat it. unless it has mushrooms in it then you’re on your own.

I couldn’t help pronouncing the “oui vei” ala Frenchy: “we vei.” I was like what? Yes vei? No vei! Yes vei, Ted! And so on.
Well it looks like you’re pretty much a FAILure. Actually I didn’t read anything up there that counted in my book as a failure so much as mediocrity (which is more grinding in its way) in a couple instances, and tepidly unfortunate events in others, except with respect to exercise. Three weeks? The pain and paralysis you now feel are a harsh but fair punishment. We must not dishonor the fitness gods nor fail to regularly offer up to them a sacrifice of sweat and calories. If we are faithful they will bless us with awesomeness. Without which awesomeness we would…not be awesome. Obviously.
