Haha I wait until I'm down to my last pair! Then on laundry day I literally have NOTHING to wear! And definitely fave clothing straight away- I've never been a 'best till last person'! 😛
Yep I'm pretty blister prone, but they're not generally toooo bad! Except one time I got the the gym and realised I had forgotten my socks, and still went ahead with my speedwork run! I actually still have the blister scars from that and it was MONTHS ago! 😛
Ahahahaha I am the exact same when it comes to laundry! I literally have no clothes and have to do about 7-8 loads of laundry before everything is clean! I just tackled mine on Sunday and laughed at the fact that 90% were running clothes. I don't buy real people clothes anymore.
I'm with you on the Nike socks. I love them. But do you find that as you wash them the elastic starts to weaken and little mini elastic thingies start to break and poke out? That's the one thing that drives me nutso.
I get blisters once in a while. I used to get them all the time when I was wearing the wrong shoes. Shoes make a HUGE difference. I have really narrow feet so I was told I have to get narrow (AA) runners. Not many come in a narrow width so I usually have to stick to Asics. They hug my feet a lot better and prevent blisters most of the time.
Blisters and chafing both suck. Luckily I don't get chafing too often either. Don't make me choose between the two! I'm not going to lie though – I kinda like popping blisters! Gross, right?
HAHA….u're one of 'those' people who love popping things! lol…my mom is like that and this may be TMI but she likes popping zits too. lol. i hear u on the socks thing tho, it pains me to see the socks get all stretched out but before that time they are awesome!! and as for real people clothes, it's so funny cuz i honestly never buy them either and live in gymwear, i actually only threw in 'regular people clothes' on my post to carry on the facade that i do at some point wear them. but who am i kidding? 😉
haha. You are so funny. This is gross! But hilarious :). Ugh I would totally pop. Hate to admit it but it's true. On the laundry, I don't wait, I just go to the good stuff :). But…it pretty much never gets put away…my room is a disaster area.
your laundry story is hilarious. I do the SAME thing. First…I hate doing laundry because I have to walk down the stairs and across the yard to get to the laundry room. Then my dog howls like a baby thinking I am never coming back so I can HEAR her while I putting my laundry in and cringe in embarrassment. The only thing that makes her happy is when I get back and dump the warm laundry on the floor she hides in it and does not come out for hours. And I am praising everything for the peace and quiet…haha! nevermind that my freshly clean clothes now have dog hairs in them. Oh and I DEFINITELY wait to wear my good stuff. So funny…never even thought about why I do that.
I get blisters all the time. In the same exact place. I am glad you said that about popping it. My dad was here for my marathon and would not let me pop it. Now it just looks gross and nasty and probably would have looked much better had I just popped it. But he is a nurse so I have to listen to him sometimes. 😉 I would go with blisters though. I was a pitcher through college for my softball team and always had to deal with blisters. I mostly do not notice them any more. sad…haha.
have a wonderful day!
p.s. 2 days in a row of the ab workout. I am loving it.
Sometimes I think we're the same person..lol. In college (when I had to do my own laundry), I definitely waited until I was out of clean clothes to do laundry. I'm pretty sure I wore some sports bras more than once before laundry time too. I'd have a pile of dirty clothes in my room and dreaded the day I'd have to haul them all down the stairs to the laundry room.
Now that I live with Dave, I am once again spoiled in the laundry department because he LIKES to do laundry! He does it every day. At first I felt bad for not helping with it, but he says it relaxes him. Crazy. I'm not complaining. If I did the laundry, he'd be disgusted I'm sure because we'd have a heap of dirty clothes before I touched it.
ya margs, sorry i am a grossy no two ways about it and sometimes i should just not share all the things that pop into my mind. 😛
julia…aww, ur poor little doggie is prolly afraid the dryer will eat you like a pair of socks! hehe…sometime no matter our age our parents can trump our decisions…don't argue with the man! 😉 SUPER happy to hear u're liking that ab routine! 🙂
txgirl, i'm gonna have to agree that u must be my twin separated at birth! how u wound up in texas tho is beyond me, u're just way more hardcore than i could ever be with the heat…hehe. so it sounds like i need to meet a cool guy who have an affection for laundry, that cranky hammy seems to be good for quite a few things…hehe. power to us lazy girls! 🙂
