So What???

Umm I just figured out that it is already Wednesday!!! It was almost a "so what thursday" post, but I still have an hour left! :) Click on the picture above to see the blog where this idea started. 

Here's what I'm saying "So What" to this week!  (SORRY, a lot happened this week I guess, because I had a lot to talk about!) 

So what if....

I am enjoying my LAST WEEK of SUMMER! I really am not ready for this to end! I have been playing with the pups lots and getting the house in shipshape before it all goes to hell! 

So what if I am not loving that I have to learn all kinds of anatomy before I can study to be a fitness instructor, I'm still excited (I'm just not sure when that is going to fit in my schedule!)!

J and I are both a bit cripple this week. I have not been feeling great and pushed really hard last week anyway. J has runners' knee and I started feeling a little knee and elbow pain too. I think I caught the tendonitis in mine early so I hope with ice and Advil we can both kick this out fast!!! 

I am sad because the genius of an actor Robin Williams died this week. It is hard to believe that such a brilliantly funny man could bring us all so much joy, but struggle with happiness himself. I hope that this brings more attention to the severity of mental illness and people who are struggling with depression, addiction, and other "negative" feelings will seek help. There is a support system all around you, you just have to reach out and let your friends and family help you. Sometimes talking through it is enough, but sometimes people need medicine to correct something that their body doesn't produce. It's not bad or wrong to need help, it's just how things are. My body no longer accepts gluten, dairy, greens, caffeine, alcohol, and other things I am still figuring out. I have acne that I would rather not deal with, but does that mean something is wrong with me...no, it's just my body and it's something I have to live with. If I need medicine, vitamins, therapy, or anything else, I will do it to take care of myself. Sorry for the long rant that I hope makes sense! It hard to explain...

J and I were talking about the overwhelming outpour of love for Robin and it is amazing to see that through his work he touched SO MANY lives, but (and I am in no way saying he doesn't deserve every bit of love) thousands of innocent people are being killed right now in Iraq. We just found out that women are being taken as slaves and children are beheaded and there is not half as much attention for them. I loved so many of Robin's movies and his stand up about golf kills me every time, so I am not saying we should care about him less, but we should consider a little more about what is really going on in the world! I know I could do a lot more to help, what can you do? 

I am sorry this post is a little bit of a downer, I really am a pretty positive person I promise! :)

I am loving the show Last week tonight with John Oliver!!! If you guys have not seen it, go to you tube now!!! That link will send you right to his channel! It is so great! He helps teach me a lot about what's going on in the world while making me crack up! Sometimes, well, most of the time, people just make me say... WHAT???? REALLY? Can't believe what is going on in this world! Watched the one on jail and nuclear weapons last night and it just amazes me! 

J is working all night tonight :( I know he needs to and I try not to ever complain about him gone if it's for work. Plus, the pups and I have a lot more room in the bed! ;)

OH!!! I almost forgot! I just finished SYTYCD and it was so amazing!!! Every dance was a huge tribute to Michael Jackson! Loved it! Without any spoilers, I just have to say I am not happy with your voting America!!! Best girl (in my humble opinion) went home tonight and doesn't even get a chance to win! ARE YOU ALL CRAZY??? The men in the bottom two were not right either, but out of the two of them I am happy with who went! 

Here is what I have been up to today!

Last night, Flik was helping me study in such an uncomfortable position! 

Today, he thought I put the blanket and book down for his personal sunbathing use! 


We headed to the park after I got lots of studying done! Lilo never goes out this far! 

We met the cutest little 7 week old Cocker!!!!Both my pups were intrigued! :)

Lilo "walking on water" lol or just balancing on a fallen tree, but she showed some true skill! 

Found an amazingly sweet pit bull puppy to play with! Flik like never cares to play with anyone other than Lilo, but he loved Molly Ann! 

Trying to get lili to swim! 

Lilo deciding it's still not worth it! 

Flik Never retrieves anything, but he wanted to play with Molly so bad! I had never seen his speed like that before! 

So Far, it has been a great Hump day and I still have 25 minutes left!
