Next stop: nursing home.

My fiber cereal stash. Further proof that I'm 80 years old. (In my defense, there was a SALE, okay?)
























Last night Ryan and I walked down the block to our favorite Mexican restaurant for dinner.
It may have been the third time this week,
but really, who's counting (besides our bank account)?
On our walk back home, stuffed full of beans and cheese,
I started telling Ryan about the rapid deterioration of my body. 
The bones on the top of my left foot have felt bruised for months now,
my knees ache when I do lunges and my chronic back pain just keeps getting
worse and worse. So, as I'm ranting in the middle of the strip mall's parking lot,
Ryan stops. He says he can't breathe and he bends over, trying to catch his breath. 
"Are you having a heart attack?" I joke,
because I'm sensitive and caring and not sarcastic at all.
He kept trying to catch his breath while I wondered
A) Would 911 think I was a moron if I directed them
to the Maria's Mexican restaurant parking lot?
and
B) Is this a sign that we should lay off the Mexican food?
A few seconds later, whatever it was passed and we continued on our
merry little way. Heart attack? Probably not. But it was kind of freaky, either way.
I'm telling you, we're 23 going on 85.
I'm one step away from elderly.
I need a chiropractor and a back massage,
and maybe a wheelchair.

  1. Probably not a heart attack but strange to say the least.

    Happy Monday!

  2. haha too funny. I love mexican food, I'm kinda jealous that you've been somewhere like that 3 times in a week!

    My husband likes to go to bed at like 8 at night and I always joke with him that he is 80 too! :)

  3. I'm glad it wasn't a heart attack...that would have sucked :(

    We're 25 (well he's 25, I'm 24) going on 85. I feel like I just get older as each day progresses. I have tummy issues, and aches and pains...gray hair is beginning to take over my brunette head. It's an ugly sight. I have the nursing home on speed dial.

  4. Today I actually walked into Boloco, had an argument in my head between "but I REALLY want a burrito!" and "you already ATE lunch!" Needless to say I ended up getting out of line and walking next door to Starbucks for an iced coffee. Today my judgement won against my cravings, which is not usually the case. Darn you Mexican food!

  12. A) I hope that maybe it was just a quick attack of a big gas bubble or something way not serious.
    B) I too feel like I'm 27 going on 70 some days.
