Since the last time I posted (June 8 – my wedding day, yes I blogged on my wedding day yet can’t seem to find the time on basically any other day ever), my life has changed pretty dramatically. It ranges from the good (I’m married!) to the bad (I spent two hours crying at the doctor’s office with excruciating rib pain yesterday!).
Here’s a quick list of what’s been going on in my life, both the good and the bad.
The Good
I got married
I went on my honeymoon in Bermuda
I went on a glass bottom boat
I had my first couples massage
I found Rainbow flip flops for $15
I got Dori color*
I did yoga on a point overlooking the pink sand beach at sunset (honeymoon photos TK when I stop being lazy)
This was my view from my room in Bermuda
I moved to an amazing duplex***
Larry somehow got even sweeter and cuter
I don’t have to wait until my rib heals (see The Bad below) to “jog,” as long as I am not in terrible pain
I made use of my apartment building’s pool
I ate the best brunch of my life – by far
I got bangs
I’ve been nonstop listening to and changing the lyrics of every song from the wedding CD we made for our guests to be about our dog
I got a new last name and email address.
The Bad
It was too windy both days we tried parasailing in Bermuda
Twitter denied my request to claim inactive username @dorigray**
The wedding credit card bills won’t pay themselves
I am suffering an excruciatingly painful rib injury caused by the violent cough I had the days leading up to my wedding
I haven’t taken Refine since June 17 (my only class since June 7)
I haven’t gotten to take any Refine outdoor classes that I was missing like crazy from last year and so looking forward to
I haven’t run since June 28 (my first run in months), even though I paid a coach for the month and I am supposed to be marathon training
I have to wait until my rib heals before I can take Refine again
By the way, I still have that neck injury
I am terrified about losing my muscles and strength that I worked so hard for at Refine
Edited to add: Without exercise as stress relief, I’ve become a bit of a schicker
The $15 Rainbow flip flops caused a blister
*doesn’t qualify as a tan, but it is something
**does anyone have a contact at Twitter?
***technically I move the day after the post is published, but I didn’t want to interrupt the flow
What’s good and bad with you?

And don’t worry–I paid off my wedding debt after like, 2 years 🙂 I miss you at Refine but wishing you a speedy recovery and hopefully I’ll see you soon. That rib damage sounds miserable. You have had some bad injury luck lately which means, according to the laws of probability, you are in for some really good luck very soon!

The only bad things are exercise related so I think you’re doing pretty wonderful. There’s more to life and more to YOU than your exercise routine <3

I totally agree with Melissa here – almost all of your list of the bad things are about your body/exercise routine – and there is so much more going on in your life and about you than just those things. Just a friendly reminder 🙂

I hope you that the wedding and honeymoon memories make the healing go faster.
Many congrats on all the good (and boo to the bad) things!
The bangs rock.

June 26, 2013 at 3:09 pm (11 years ago)You look so good with bangs! I need to go to your pool so we can take pics and pretend we are 20 again. I hope you get better soon…I need you at Refine with me! And I need this brunch that you speak of.

Popping into say congrats on your marriage. I loved your wedding dress – you looked so beautiful! Sorry about the rib injury – it will heal. Just try and be patient with yourself and focus on the positive. You are married with an adorable dog and a great pool. 🙂
PS – Rainbows are the most comfortable flip flops….AFTER you break them in. Just got my first pair, and everyone told me you might get blisters in the beginning, but so worth it later on. Plus, they will last a long time.
