What's On My Mind Friday's

Karina's Three Things to get into your weekend...

It's Friday and I have three things for you to ponder over because if I don't then I will ramble on about many things and honestly, I am not rambling for too long on a Friday!

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs - about a month ago, I think I watched Snow White about three or four times. I had wanted to do a write up on it, but honestly, I think adding it to a blurb like this and giving you my concise thoughts on Disney movies I am rewatching makes the most sense. It's not like my thoughts are going to be deep!

Disney's first animated film (and regarded as one of the best animated films, debatable TO ME) which as we know kicked off a line of amazing bangers. Snow White is not even close to being one of my favorite films, however, I appreciate it. It is not a movie that I re-watch and honestly, I find it boring. However, on re-watching it, I don't think it's boring and honestly very innovative for its time and I do think I'll add it to the rotation once a year. However, that being said, I have to lodge a few complaints because OH MY GOD, am I on Grumpy's side. Full stop. Some random Princess shows up to your house, makes you dinner (thanks, I guess?) but then takes over ALL SEVEN BEDS so the rest of the Dwarfs are forced to sleep in pots, sinks, and swallow flies? Absolutely not. Get that orphan out of here! Figure out your problems on your own! Then, Snow White takes food from a creepy ass stranger? Ma'am, there is a reason you were easy to find and poison! Then, the Dwarfs build her this beautiful bejeweled glass casket, where a random man who she met ONE TIME, wakes her up with a kiss and then she immediately bounces! Barely a goodbye, thanks for taking care of my dead body, TOO-DA-LOO! Also, she doesn't even know this man's name! No one knows his name! He is simply THE PRINCE! You don't even know how big his Kingdom is? How much gold is in the treasury? Is he even a first born? Amateur hour. Couldn't be me. Lastly, the best part of the film, the Queen. Truly. She is a psycho and the most vain villain but honestly perfect. A petty bitch to the bitter end. The animation sequence of her taking the potion and turning into the witch is so good.

If you enjoy learning how movies get made, the Diamond edition of the Snow White DVD had so many great extras, so if you have that lying around, I recommend watching that. Otherwise, thanks to the internet, I linked the video below!

100 Days of Not Buying Workout Clothes

Unsure of how I managed this one. If you know me, you know I am a woman of many workout outfits. Athleta, Peloton and now Lululemon are my choice brands. The amount of legions and sports bras is absurd to the point where I no longer have room to put them. Do you think that would stop me? No. However, because I realized that this was getting wildly out of control, I decided that I would go one hundred days without buying workout clothes. This coincided with Peloton's 100 Day Streak so I figured it would be easier to keep track of. Guess what! I actually was able to do it. It's amazing all the money I have (lol just kidding, in this economy?) but yes, I has made me re-think overconsumption, the need to have the latest of everything and actually putting my money where I want it to be. Does that mean I will stop buying workout clothes? Probably not. If there is a particular color I really love, then I can see myself purchasing, but it's not going to be this massive haul of 6 or 7 outfits a pop. Also, I will shop more sales! I do not need 30 shades of blue. Or so I am told. Now, if someone wants to sponsor a workout outfit, you got your girl right here. Let's chat. :)

A spider in my basement is ruining my life

Last week, I was doing a nice little barre workout in my basement, which houses my gym. It isn't a finished basement but it's perfect for my workouts and houses my bike and treadmill and my many, many books. I see the occasional spider (it is a basement after all) but they are smaller and either I am able to kill it, my cats do, or they move on and I pretend like they don't exist. However, while I was literally doing side lying leg lifts and went to move to all fours... I saw this gigantic spider right next me. I screamed. This spider rolled up on me while I was minding my own business and it is the biggest spider I have ever seen in my basement. We had a stare down for a few minutes, then it started moving FAST and I screamed again and then it hid behind my HVAV. Suffice to say, no more workouts were done. I ended up making lobster risotto. Stupid spider. Every day since, because I have been sick and wasn't able to do much and just yoga, I have had one eye on the last known whereabouts of this spider. I have not seen the spider, until Wednesday night when my useless (I love him, he's my baby) cat, who doesn't kill anything, flushed out this spider while I was down there. Did he kill the spider? No! He literally got bored once it hid and then left. The spider emerged but then ran back to his hidey-hole while I now need to plot how the hell we are going to get rid of this giant spider. I do not know what kind of spider it is but it is the devil. I hope it is gone by next week. I can't live in fear!

And that's your "Three Things On My Mind" Fridays. Here is one final tidbit because some of y'all need it: As a reminder, because some of you were the children that Bush apparently left behind: apathy and celebration are not the same thing. Also, you do not need to be empathetic to someone who would never give you the same exact empathy you are supposedly expect to return. Also, some things need to stay in the group chat and I advise so many of you to do that.

Heading to Shelton this afternoon to see if the town can redeem itself.

Peace.
