I’m the greatest Aunt

My oldest nephew turned 15 on the 20th, and today I’m putting is b-day card in the mail, because I’m such a good aunt.

And what’s worse is last week I had the $20 to put in his card (I know I’m cheap but I have 5, soon to be 6 nieces and nephews total) , but I went to a bar that only takes cash, and I used that $20, which is part of the reason the card is late.  

Alex Gordon of the KC Royals, off season training. 

Love the message in this video: “You have to want it as much as you want to breath”

Alex and I happen to have the same trainer.

Here’s what Alex posted on FB about Wilson and BarNone Training:

Owner/personal trainer Wilson Thomas at BarNone Training has made vast improvements to my abilities on the baseball field with his knowledge and experience in the gym.

I started with Wilson last off-season and have seen many benefits in my game on the field by improving my strength, speed, agility, and flexibility.

Wilson personalizes my workouts every day making them fun and enjoyable while pushing me to maximize my results. Here is a glimpse of one of the many workouts Wilson has designed for me

Who wants to work out with me now?  And no I’m sorry you will not see Gordon, I’ve only seen him like 3 times, and that’s when I was leaving or just happen to stick around to talk to Wilson or one of the other instructors.

Climbing to the top of a transmission tower 1700 feet in the air.

I almost threw up just watching this, just when I thought the guy was done climbing and the scary part was over it gets worse…..

And you thought your job was scary

Boulevard’s highly anticipated Chocolate Ale will be in stores and bars soon. If last year’s release was any indication, it’s going to be hard to get your hands on a bottle of this tasty stuff. That’s why I created a web app that will help you find Chocolate Ale.
Where To Find Boulevard Chocolate Ale
Enjoy! And good luck!

Do this. 

 I’m hoping because I work out south and live in the JOCO (stop judging me) that I have a better chance since I live among family types who don’t really understand the draw towards the chocolate ale. I’m going to the place I went last year, only after I get my bottle will I share this location. :)

I love Sophia, although sometimes I confuse her and Rachel Bilson, and yes I admittingly still watch One Tree Hill, but I know you do too!  Anway, found the below on politics from Faded Youth Blog and now I love her even more. 
Sophia says that she’s “scared” also by the current GOP primaries, and is prepared leave the confines of U.S. borders if necessary.“I will not vote for a candidate who thinks you can ‘pray away the gay,’ I will not vote for a candidate who thinks that he has more rights to my uterus than I do, I will not vote for a candidate who thinks that it’s okay to dump toxic waste in the ocean,” she adds. “I’m afraid for our country that people like this (current Republican candidates) could even be thought of as the president. I live in a country where I believe all men are created equal, not just wealthy white guys. I believe all men, all women, regardless of race, gender, socioeconomic background, you deserve the same rights. If that’s not where our country is going, then I’ll leave. I don’t need to live here. I’m out! I’ll go to Canada, peace! See you later.”

Just saw this on Pinterest, and I think it’s ridiculous.
I mean it looks like they went to the hardware store and found a decorative wall piece and spray painted it black.

Color Run!  Kansas City 6/16 

I don’t know why, but getting blasted by color every so often looks like fun to me.
