Friday Favorites Funnies Edition
February 7, 2014We made it through another week! I am so proud of us! No accidents from too much car dancing, everybody made sure no one was hiding underneath their car or in the back seat and we all remembered to bring flip flops for after our workouts right?
Let’s get right into it! My favorites and things “trending” if you will right now with me.
Favorite Song
I seriously cannot get enough of Jason Derulo between his sweet dance moves and catchy hooks…I guarantee you this song is going to be ruined in about one month when it starts getting played on repeat. It has such a sick beat and I’m not going to lie I like when he says “your booty don’t need explaining”….I mean those words will never be uttered to me but a girl can only dream right? I already explained in my confessions about the video rap girl dream. Have y’all heard this one yet? It’s definitely going to get your weekend started for sure! (warning not the clean version) <–look at that play on words pretty good eh?
Favorite Workout
Continuing on with all this booty talk….this workout is killer. I swear Karena is a tiny little person made of steel. Have you checked their website out? They have so many free workouts and printable exercises like this one. I print this out and roll out my yoga mat in my living room. Wish I could just pop over to the beach like those two gals. Do you watch their show on Bravo? Their “board meetings” are sitting on surf boards on the beach discussing business…the life right?
Favorite Recipe
Okay in all fairness I did not make this during the week. However it is in my repertoire of recipes. Do you want to know how easy it is? My sisters husband and I were talking and he goes “Christina (that’s my sister) told me I have a 1lb of ground turkey in the refrigerator and I have to come up with a dinner idea by the time she gets back from her Barre class”. So my instructions went as the following. “Do you have sesame oil? Yes okay start with that and put some shallots and garlic in….ok red onions that will work. When that softens down add the ground beef and brown it. Add some brown sugar and soy sauce or whatever Asian blend sauces you have. Depending on how hot you want it add red pepper flakes at the end. Good then put it over rice (brown preferably) sprinkle with green onions and shredded lettuce. Voila Korean rice bowl”. How did I get this amazing recipe you ask? You guessed it Pinterest. Here is the original version of this above mentioned instructions. I would recommend just a light dusting of the brown sugar….1/4 of a cup made it so sweet on my initial try of this recipe.
Favorite Moment of the Week
It could have easily been my least favorite moment of the week. Remember this post here about my newly purchased MacBook that was sent and didn’t work? Well I am a Mac loyal and I always buy mine refurbished from the apple website. They come with the exact same warranty and you can get really good deals! Especially after the holidays is the best time to stalk the website for all those Christmas returns. For example the original MacBook I had ordered had the retina display screen and it was $350 off the original price. However when I brought it into the store to show the guy they shipped out a computer with a track pad that was not working he looked at me and saw my history of buying from Apple and he said “give me a minute”. Next thing I know he walking out with the newest model MacBook pro and goes “it’s your lucky day”.
Once again restored my faith in the concept of customer service and Apple products. Random funny while I was there waiting for my appointment at the “genius bar” I was eavesdropping on the employee talking with ladies who were probably my mothers age and looked quite conservative. I hear the girl say how Jenna Jameson was her idol…..
The one woman looks at me and goes “who is she”….I calmly replied “ummm an adult entertainer”. She still looked confused and her friend who was furiously typing into her iPhone shoved it in her face and goes “yeah she’s a porn star”. I swear only to me.. Oh and I also had to hold back giggles the woman next to me made an appointment to sync her Samsung galaxy phone with her computer the apple tech was literally like
Favorite Funnies
I apparently got ahead of myself with theses but let’s get rolling.
Realizing that I still have leftover queso from the other night…hello epic snacking.
I still need to check out the tone it up girls! And congrats on the MacBook! So exciting!
omg i LOVED happy endings! why did they cancel that show?!! anyways glad you got your mac!! what a great suprise. also i went to barre last night and it KILLED me. so yes, amy poehler’s gif was dead on. cant wait to hear about the venue! hope you love it. xo jillian – cornflake dreams
I love the Tone it Up recipes and workouts! Just heard that Jason Derulo song yesterday and saved it on my spotifiy playlist. Have a wonderful weekend lady!
Girlfriend, my husband paces the house when he is on the phone, ha, it drives me nuts!!! And I hope the venue works out pretty lady!! Happy weekend!!
i always laugh at the whole apple vs android thing. being a huge android girl myself, i find that a lot of the apple employees are all “pfffft! iphone is the best thing in the history of ever!” and get so offended if they find out that anyone has anything BUT iphone.

Vodka and Soda
YES to the everything hurts and I’m dying. That is definitely everyone at the end of every class ever.
That Korean rice bowl looks amazing. Too early at 10 a.m.?
I love Jason Derulo’s music! Damn, I had no idea he broke his neck while dancing. That’s insane.
Woot woot for the Apple store! That’s amazing!
You may actually be my sense of humor soul sister:) Ok so, I have such difficulty letting my daughter “help me” and I know I’m a type A+++ control freak! I do walk around the house in circles when talking on the phone, probably bc I hate talking on the phone. I always have some sort of internal dialogue going related to beauty and style that often derails my focus so I can relate to that for sure!
Finally, I’m dying to try kettlebells!
Happy Friday, Amanda!
That hairtie/poppy pin ecard is so true!! Where do they all go?! Have a great weekend!!
he broke his neck!? i never knew that!! but i do love that song!!
OMG when I play w/ legos w/ my cousins (or used to w/ my little brothers) I would be like LET ME JUST DO THIS. Freak!! That’s so funny. Not gonna lie, I really like doing puzzles and I’ve been wanting to have a girls night with a giant one…and giant glasses of wine of course. :) Happy Friday!
I’m going to have to try that workout. You know my love for Karena and Katrina! Sitting on surf boards during meetings really is the life. Have a great weekend!
Ashley, Married to the Game
I’m going to see Jason Derulo perform this weekend!! I’m beyond excited, I LOVE him! That song is such a great pick me up song! Ugh, I wish I looked like Karena… and was able to workout at the beach like she does! Have a great weekend!!

Hahah that bobby pin comment… I have also owned a million and can somehow never find them. The funniest part about this is that my boyfriend seems to find them EVERYWHERE and is astonished at how many of “these little things” I own. Happy Friday!!

So awesome about the MacBook! One of these days I will own one of those. One day.That Happy Endings gif rocks. Have a great weekend!
Is the Jane clip from Drop Dead Diva on Lifetime? They canceled the show? :( :( :(
I apologize for never responding to your email response to my comment! I always love when people send an email response so shame on me! I am a pure barre lover for life. A good family friend owns stuidos in Birmingham and but when I moved to Chicago we didnt have it. I have tried them all, barre bee fit, the barre method, fly barre and have settled on a place called body of bloomington which offers many different classes including barre. have a great weekend!
I am OBSESSED with Talk Dirty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I agree… him and Jordan are so damn cute together! :D
you find the BEST images/videos to go with your posts!! I love it! I also am adding that meat/rice bowl to my recipe book- looks delish!
Ohhh so much goodness here. TGIF. And yes, today is always going well until people! Have a wonderful weekend (and don’t forget to back your car in!) ;)
I was pretty much obsessed with Happy Endings! Such a great show!! And if I logged how much I walk while on the phone it would probably be equivilant to a half marathon haha!! Hope you have a great weekend!
I bought my ipad as a refurb and haven’t had any issues at all! So i recommend it to all. I’m gonna need to try that kettle bell work out since i got one as a gift for xmas. Awesome present!
love the Tone It Up girls and so excited it is coming back for Season 2. Yeah on getting the MacBook lottery! Is it good or bad that I know who Jenna Jameson is?
Um how awesome about the laptop?! I had no idea you could even do that! And hahahaha about that convo you overheard! Hilarious! I haven’t listened to Jason Derulo since like ridin solo, but I definitely just listened to that entire song & might need to add it to my workout playlist asap!
i am loving the tone it up girls! minus the fact they always workout with their hair down. ew.
bahahaha i took a barre class last night at my gym and i totally agree with leslie knope’s feelings above…EVERYTHING HURT!! but i feel so good today! :)

Haha, this whole post had me cracking up! I need to tell my husband one night, “there is this protein in the fridge, your challenge is to make dinner out of it”…love it! The weird ladies talking about Jenna Jameson, would SO be something that would happen to me, I swear.
Haha you find the BEST funnies! I miss Happy Endings too, why was it cancelled? It was so hilarious :(
And that’s awesome about your computer! I am a loyal Apple girl too :)
Haha you never fail to make me laugh! Such a great post! I’m pretty sure I can relate to each and everyone of those funnies! And I love the Tone It Up girls show, mostly because I want to own a company and just have a really fun work environment!

That korean beef looks amazing! Yummy!!
Your sister needs to write a marriage bible. I want to be able to tell my husband to clean the house by the time I get home from a massage. Can she write a chapter on that? I think someone at the genius bar has a crush cause you lucked out BIG TIME! Score!! Have a nice weekend… already off to a nice start :)
I’m the same way with bobby pins!! When my husband and I were dating, he moved out of his first apartment and found about 100 of my bobby pins in his room! lol! I watched the Tone it Up show, I can’t handle it.. haha but I do like their workouts!
I love the Tone It Up girls! I’m kind of obsessed with them and their show. I want to order their protein just because they made it.
Ugh I love the TIU girls. I want their life and their perfect beachy hair! And I was so sad when they cancelled Happy Endings! That was one of the only half hour comedy shows I was really into!
I love your blog :)

That is my favorite song right now!!! They don’t play it on the radio very much but maybe that’s a good thing. I hate when a song gets played out too fast. The MacBook story was awesome. I am in need of a new laptop & I think you just convinced me to become a Mac owner.
