Mother Nature is a jerk

I'm waiting! No one has come to beat me up yet. I did not run twice since Friday like I had planned. Due to the fact that the entire weekend we had thunderstorms and tornado warnings, I decided to have my way with the elliptical for an hour on Saturday and then yesterday I lost all motivation after running errands and cleaning until 3pm. I'll be running today instead of taking my usual Monday rest day.

I think it's safe to say I will not be sufficiently prepared for my second half marathon in three weeks and if I PR it will be a miracle. I guess Hartford will have to be my redemption half.



















Saturday morning I met my best friend and her daughter (who is almost six months old already!) for breakfast and some Target shopping. This little lady's smile is intoxicating.

"You'd be smiling too if you just downed a bottle of
boobjuice!"
























Yesterday I went to Costco with Jeremy and Amanda and made my first (non-wall decoration) home purchase!

The puppy feet are an added bonus.



















I just thought they were cool, AND they are plastic which is awesome news for me, Clumsy McBumpsintowalls. I think I unknowingly just decided the color scheme for the first floor.

After we got back from Costco, Amanda and our friend Korie went to get their nails done. I need a pedicure, but since I can't afford it right now, I stayed home and cleaned. Shitty trade-off, right? Well, I took care of my own toes for free.

Purple was probably not the best color choice, in retrospect.


















So, this weekend was overcast and rainy with thunderstorms, the entire weekend. Today, Monday, it's beautiful and sunny, in the 70s.

I really want to punch her.

  1. Your home is going to be blinding. Awesome, but blinding.

  2. You're going to hate life so much during that half marathon if you don't up your weekly mileage. That's not a threat, it's a promise.

    Boob juice is my favorite term ever.

  3. not running during tornado warnings? terrible excuse.

    Also, I had those acrylic non-breakable wine glasses all through college. Everyone made fun of me, but I never broke a glass. Unlike after college, where I have gone through 20+ wine glasses in 5 years. Clearly I know how to have a good time....?

  4. Those glasses are SWEET.

    Boob juice - why haven't I used that term before?

  5. Those tumblers are great. Hope you post pics of your future house, I know it will be decorated beautifully!! You have some time to redeem yourself with your training. 3 weeks to go! Get back out there! Then you still have 2 weekends for long-ish runs before your half. Actually, I've done the Monday long run before...make this afternoon a long run and you can have THREE long runs in before your half.

  6. You're funny! I think your toes look great! By the way, I love your profile picture with your dog looking so demure!

  7. If it makes you feel better, some guy bought me a shot Saturday night and I ignored my "no shots" rule which I never even follow in the first place and I laid on the bed and or couch all day Sunday. The most exercise I got was walking to the car for Eric to drive me to Dairy Queen and get a blizzard. I did dance for over an hour on Saturday night though and walked/stumbled around to different bars. You are officially not the most pathetic blogger now. That baby is ridiculously cute.

    1. Also, I'm too ashamed about this incident to even blog.
