Pros and cons

The Mr was kind enough to telework today so I wouldn't have to deal with the garage man alone.  This meant we could watch Dexter earlier than we planned.  For a few months I had these Wilton Meat Cleaver Royal Icing Decorations (affiliate link)  to usher in the last season of our favorite show.  I have these wimpy Trader Joe break and bake cookies so I baked up one each for us and then got a red Wilton melt to put on right out of the oven and when they melted, STAB!  Just like the Dark Passenger!

I know, we're weirdos but I don't care, I think they're cute especially for Dexter fans.  I almost pooped myself the last 10 minutes of that episode!

For our workout, I wanted to get outside even though it was raining.  I knew the park I wanted to go to had an abundance of tree cover and we wouldn't get wet unless it was torrential and even then we packed up the backpack with ponchos.  We had our water, bug spray and such.  This woman passed us and smiled and as she walked ahead of us, I couldn't help but take a blurry pic as we were both moving.  She had the most perfect legs I've ever seen.  She was probably 10 years older than me but her legs were fit, not a vein in sight, tanned and smooth as silk.  I wanted to scream "I hope you appreciate your legs because not to sound weird but I do!"

We walked about 4 miles and I was a little annoyed at the calorie burn.  It wasn't chump change but hell I remember when a walk that long and hilly would warrant about 1000 calories.  The pros and cons of weight loss I guess.  The more fit you get, the harder you have to work.  I was a sweaty wench.  Then as we were leaving, this dog was staring me down and I waved at it and it went batshit and started barking at me and pawing at the window.  Keep peacocking little man...no death by Boston Terrier for me, thanks.

We did see quite a bit of animal friends while we were out and about.  So that made for a nice distraction from time to time.

I love rainy walks because it keeps people at home for the most part.  No one wants to get wet but I love it. I love hearing the wind rustling in the treetops and the rain hitting the leaves over our heads.  It's so relaxing.  Of course then it makes the air a little more humid and by the time you're in mile three and want it to be over, you're a little "moist" around the face and neck.  Grody.  I guess like with everything...pros and cons.

Then we came home, ate dinner and watched The Terminator .  (affiliate link) Man, Michael Biehn was a hottie.  I know he looks a hardened now but to me, he'll always be Kyle Reese, my first man crush.

I'll take one biscuit in which to sop him up please!  Me-ow.

Oh yeah, Happy Birthday to my other childhood man crush, retired pro-wrestler Bret Hart.

I had this magazine in high school...I still have it...I may or may not have licked it.  (Then, not now)

Do you like rainy walks?  What animals do you usually encounter?  Who was your first on screen man crush from childhood?
