The weather yesterday in Colorado was absolutely insane. We started our workout and it began to hail and lightning like the world was about to end. Then the hail turned to crazy crain and wind. I totally thought my car was doomed for hail damage. She’s good. But, we had 400m runs in our workout so our coach said we could do either 550m row or 400m run. I did the run. I have seriously never been so soaked in my life while doing a workout. I’ve run in all kinds of snow and rain, but this was like sitting in a bath tub with all your clothes on. My shoes felt like I had just swam through a river. The mall near me had to be evacuated because water was pouring through the lights, my neighbors tree was struck by lighting, and cars were swept away in streets and parking lots. How bad would it suck to watch your car just get swept away? It would suck really bad. Really freaking bad.
But other than that, it’s been crazy hot outside. Every summer, I don’t know how I’m going to last with leather seats in my car. I ALWAYS have a towel on top of my seat in hopes of not melting off my hamstrings. I wish I had cooled seats, that’s the best invention ever. And since I’ve finally gotten to the point where jeans are no longer an option, all I’ve been buying is dresses lately. Yesterday, I stopped by Inspyre Boutique to try a couple things on before I bought them online! Did you see on last weeks Fashion Fridays that I’m running a discount with them?! Don’t forget because they have about a million dresses and when you order something online or in store right now, you’ll get 15% off your order using the discount code paleOMG at checkout!

So grab it now for only $19.99 for over 150 recipes from all kinds of cool people!
I’m getting the second dog itch. Jackson seems to get so bored and lonely during the day now that it’s too hot to hang out outside constantly. And since I work from home, it makes me feel even more guilty that I’m not constantly entertaining him. He gives me the sad eye when I don’t play with him. And doggy day cares kind of freak me out now because of kennel cough. My friend’s dog just got it. Frightening. But 2 dogs sounds like a huge responsibility. Should we do it? What to do.
Have you seen the straightening iron that curls your hair. Say whaaaaaa? Does anybody have that? I’m really tempted to get one but I want to hear from my internet friends first. Tell me your thoughts!

Notes
If you want to put alcohol in this, that would be awesome. Try some Hendrick’s gin or some rum, if you prefer! Or vodka. Or tequila. Ok, really any alcohol.

Well this sounds amazeballs. I love coconut!
YES to another dog! I have two and I love that they have each other when I’m away at work. Plus more cute, furry pups for you to snuggle with and love up on 🙂 I have a Havanese and a Shichon (bichon frise / shitzu mix) and I’d highly recommend either breed!
awwww that makes me want another one so bad!
Yes, get a second dog! It’s not much more responsibility than having 1!
good to know!
Those look amazing for a hot day! (and I live in LA, so that is every day)
YES to the tyme iron. I have one and it works great! Takes a few tries to get it right though, so practice a few times (don’t try for the first time right before an event)
I wish I could have a second dog, my apartment is just to small. But as soon as I move!
Definitely go for the second dog! My husband and I added a second dog to our family about a year ago and it was one of the best decisions we’ve made. I felt the same way about our first dog being bored all the time, but I think he has barely had time to rest since she came home. There will absolutely be times where you look at each other and think “what did we do?!” because it can get a bit chaotic (but I think that may be due to the type of dogs we have, a boston/pitbull mix and a boston terrier) but it is so worth it when they are running around together or sleeping next to each other in the sun. Just go for it, if you think about it too much you will find a million reasons to not do it 🙂
no clue, i’ve never used that. what is it?
It’s the soda sweetened with stevia.
sure! you could try that!
Get another dog!! They’re pack animals, and love companionship…. Only this time, rescue 🙂

The best thing we ever did was get a second dog. Mind you the first 10 days the golden retriever was like what the hell is this and do you think I’m going to look after this bloody thing!
That past very quickly and now they would never part.
Katie is right get a rescue this time.
Good Luck!
By the way it’s easier with 2. 🙂
looks super, super delicious!!!

This looks delicious! It’s been so hot in s. Florida lately! We’re actually making paleo peach ice cream this afternoon for a sweet frozen treat! We got a labradoodle puppy a few months ago! We love him to death but I wish we would have also gotten his sister. I’ve heard it’s actually easier to have to dogs, exactly for the reason that they occupy each other!
