Spudart poses the following question on twitter:
Why is doing pull-ups way more fun than push-ups?

I'm sure there are a ton of reasons, here are the ones I can think of.

• Pull-ups make you feel like a monkey. Push-ups put you right against the floor like a crawling bug. Being a monkey is a lot more fun than being a stupid bug.
• Pull-ups are like floating. Using just your arms, you completely remove the rest of your body from the earth.
• Pull-ups need a bar to hang from, which makes it feel like you're a kid on the playground again. This is a lot more fun than being a boring grown-up.

Can you think of any more/better reasons? Leave them in the comments below. 🙂

I imagined the process was something like this… but I never thought of the trophy step though. AMAZING!

The "war paint" at the end is great!

I think that yesterday I may have eaten the greatest cupcake ever:

This thing is a buttermilk cupcake, with maple frosting, and a chunk of candied bacon to top it all off.

I bought it from The Sweetspot in Whitewater, WI and brought it back to work in a nifty plastic clam-shell cupcake holder thing. Opening it up, my desk instantly smelled like a pancake breakfast. Fortunately, this was one of those rare moments when something smelled awesome and ended up tasting exactly the way it smelled (unlike hazelnut coffee, I don't know why that stuff is so deceiving).

A portable pancake breakfast. YES!

You know what's stupid? Biting your tongue so hard in your sleep that you wake yourself up.

Do you know what's even stupider? Doing it several times in the last month.

Ow! This is not something I want to see develop into a habit.

Did you know that answering "yes" when the Subway cashier asks if you want your receipt can earn you a free cookie?

Far too many times I've answered "no", not knowing that I could use the receipt to take a quick 1 minute survey and earn a free cookie.

Learn from my mistake! (or LFMF :-P)

I looove Subway's breakfast sandwiches. My normal order is a 6" flatbread, sausage, egg and cheese with onions, green peppers, and chipotle sauce. It's incredible.

The sandwich itself is $3.50, and their coffee is something like $1.20. I can't justify paying $5 for a breakfast so I go coffee-less on mornings I stop at Subway – but right now they're running a special combo that includes the coffee and the sandwich for only $3. That's cheaper than buying the sandwich alone! The combo includes every 6" breakfast sandwich except the sausage one, so I have to switch things up and order bacon instead.

The last time I was there, there was a guy that ordered the same sandwich as me, but when asked if he wanted the combo he said "no thanks." I almost stopped filling my coffee to explain things to him, but didn't. I paid $3.17 he paid $3.69.
