Hangover, What Hangover?

Let me preface this blog post by saying this... I realize what you're about to read is going to make me sound like a binge drinker, however I have complete control of myself when drinking and I'm pretty much a certified genius when it comes to hangovers. Tis all.

About a month ago I was at home on a Friday night... laying low, staying sober and watching one of those weekly nightly news shows that do stories about murders and crazy random things. Well, TG I was watching that night because a story about a miracle hangover prevention patch came on. Ladies and gents, I give you: ByTox. Literally one of the best things that has come into my life in quite a long time. ByTox is a small patch that you put on "a hairless part of the body" (took those exact words from the package - slightly disturbing) before you start drinking. You leave it on while drinking and continue to wear it for an additional 8 hours after drinking.

ByTox was invented by a doctor, and is just a constant replenishment of vitamins going in as you drink them out. SOLD. Even better... it works! I've used this patch twice and both times I have pushed my drinking to the limits. Call it a binge if you must, but I was just having a blast in a glass #SueMe. I should have been puking my guts up throughout the following day because, quite frankly, that's how it goes when I'm hungover. I know to always have Gatorade in the fridge and a bed, couch, and toilet as close as possible. Not anymore, friends, not anymore. It's all about the ByTox. I realize this is starting to sound like an infomercial, but I promise you no one is paying me to hype this new miracle hangover prevention patch (although I'd make a great spokesperson).

If you're ever hungover you need this. I'll admit I was sketchy at first, but when my girls are hungover and I'm downing a bloody mary at brunch I will laugh and continue to get rowdy.

take it or leave it: I watched 2 movies this weekend, Moneyball and 50/50. The fact that I watched not 1, but 2 movies is a minor miracle because I find it pretty hard to sit down for 2 hours without talking or doing anything but staring at the TV. When I do watch, I usually fall asleep. Sad, but true! Good news: both movies were very good AND I didn't fall asleep (huge win for me)! I highly recommend watching both flicks. And if you have a soul, you're going to need kleenex for 50/50.

Ball So Hard

8am-5pm, 5 days a week... Work, workout, eat, sleep, and repeat. Sound all too familliar? In the mundane weekday routine I try to spice things up at work... keep the mood light... crack a few jokes... just have a little fun every now and then. Most of the time that means a rocking out to my Pandora TLC station or wandering around from cube to cube for some chit chatting. I work hard, get my work done, help others, and do my best not to bug others while they're hard at work, but I literally cannot sit in one spot all day staring at a computer screen and talking to strangers. I will go bonkers. Straight up bonk-to-the-ers!

So, because going bonkers is not an option I recently decided that while I'm stuck at my desk (making that money flow) I might as well make it a little more interesting by sitting on a big ass silver workout ball. That's right. I'm sitting on a ball. The main purpose of getting this ball was to go from hunchback of Notre Dame to phenomenal posture. I've heard good things about sitting on a ball... good for your abs, posture, etc., but what I didn't hear is how much fun it can be when combined with Pandora radio. Bounce wit it, lean wit it, rock wit it... and I do.

Not going to lie, my back was hurting for the first few days and I've caught myself leaning on my desk a few too many times, but overall it was a great purchase. I've gotten many questions, weird stares, and plenty of laughs, but I'm not going to give up the ballin'... at least not until I wipe out, which has not happened... yet! Surprised if I do say so myself. There will absolutely be a blog post dedicated to my future ball wipeout because it's 110% sure to happen. Fingers crossed there are no serious injuries, and more importantly, that no one sees it go down.
