Starting on Christmas my daily pictures started to suck because my camera stopped working with my remote. At first I thought it was the remote but a new one didn't work either.

This pic is much clearer but you can't see my outfit as well!

I branched out to different clothes this month that aren't all nursing tops. I wore green a lot for Christmas. I wish I had more red. I did get dressed more but am a picture taking slacker!

December 1-10 Outfits

12/1

I need to get rid of this top in my rotation and save it for when I'm nursing future kids. It's a bit loose and my nursing pads just float around.

12/4

 I don't know why I keep wearing the jeans I hate.

12/5

This is a new shirt from Kohl's. I grabbed it at the last second because I had more Kohl's cash to spend. It's a tad tighter than I'd like but I wasn't going back. You can see my love handles in it.

12/6

 Look I even wore nice shoes!

12/8

The first pic is what I wore to run. The second outfit is what I wore to the Mountain View Tree Lighting.  I'm bummed we didn't coordinate until it was dark. It's difficult to get good pictures when it's dark.

12/10

This isn't a daily picture. I was trying to set up the tripod to be ready to take family pictures the next day. This was a practice shot but it's the closet I have to an outfit photo. I already was in my yoga pants by this point.

I even left the house more than I have outfits here. I'm becoming a real slacker.

12.24

Necklace: F21, Sweater and Jeans: Express, Jacket: NY&Co, Purse: JCP, Shoes: Famous Footwear

These jeans are nice because they fit me when I'm fat, but they are also so annoying. Notice the seam in the left picture. It goes toward the front of my foot. It is so annoying. I have a few pairs of pants that the seams are off. I don't know how this is possible. If the seam is off is everyone else super annoyed like I am?  See the right picture if I tug a bit at the knee I can get it to look right.

I woke up close to 10. I didn't sleep well so I was tired. I got to entering data on my computer. Dave claims I should do something else.  Near noon Dave asked if I wanted to walk to Boudin's with him for lunch. I said no because that would require getting dressed.  He went alone but wished I would have kept him company. Once he got back I went to eat my bagel with cream cheese and our cream cheese was moldy (even though it hadn't expired yet.) So then I got dressed and went to Trader Joe's.  Man was it packed.

I came back, ate it, then went for a walk with Dave.  We went all around and went to Sprouts on our way home. We didn't have any canvas bags so we didn't plan to buy much. I saw cinnamon and sugar butter and bought it. I expect it to be quite good and can't wait to eat it. (Look they sell DeLallo's around here but look how expensive.)

Then I went back to adding data for awhile.

Dave wanted to get Boston Market for dinner. I still had leftovers to eat but I decided to get it with him since he wanted it.  After we got home,  I talked to my  mom and everyone on the phone on speaker phone.  Then I went back to adding data.  Close to 8PM, we did a google+ hangout and opened presents. That seemed to take awhile. A lot of talking was involved. I even tried on my new shirt to show them.  We were staring at the laptop for the hangout and Poly just came right over and got in the middle of it all. So we joined the hangout on Dave's phone to show everyone what Poly was up to.  I took some screen shots during the hangout. I hope we never have to open presents via Google+ hangout again. (Because I want to be together not because anything is wrong with hangout.)  After all that I talked to my mom on the phone for awhile. I think we got off close to 10pm.  (1 AM her time and she had to start cooking by 8am so she wouldn't be getting much sleep.)

Then I went back to adding more data. Here's a graph I've been making of my progress. Can you tell when I've slept? So far I have done all of 2010, 2011, and 2012 (up to where we are), and 1 month in 2009. I'm working backwards. My photo quality was poorer back then and I only took 1 picture so sometimes I can't even see my shoes or decipher what shoes they are.  It is quite sad.

Note: An article is a thing like pants, a shirt, necklace, etc. Outfits are the shirts and pants. Accessorized Outfits are the Outfit + shoes and jewelry (and maybe jacket).  Dates are what dates I've done.  I can have more than one Accessorized Outfit on a day. (Oh if I wore 2 outfits in 2010 or 2011, I don't have a second one added since I was only going by my calendar site at the moment.)

White Skinny Jeans (11.20)

Pants: F21, Sweater: Express
Long Necklace: F21 (I think)
Shorter Necklace: Lia Sophia
Earrings: Target
Boots: Famous Footwear (Mudd)
Shoes: Famous Footwear (Natural Soul by Naturalizer)

Same outfit. Different shoes and necklace and gives the entire outfit a different look.

I was going to switch it up even more but it gets dark too early and it was already too dark after I got back from Safeway when I changed into the red shoes.  I like the boots better and the long necklace better. Which do you like?

12.20

Sweater: Express
Cami: Express
Pants: VS (new)
Shoes: Nine West
Necklace: Lia Sophia

I was at work without Dave. He was already on vacation for the rest of the year.

I bought cheese and fruit for lunch. It said it came with crakcers and it did not. Also that wasn't pepper jack cheese. At least I can see instead of listening to what it said.  I kind of didn't like the strawberry taste on my cheese.  I did like that I had my own crackers at my desk and crackers didn't waste room in my little container.  It was a very good lunch.  It did take me about 3 hours to eat it though.

After work Dave and I went to Carino's then to Ikea to buy my mom her Christmas present.  There was a ton of traffic.

After we got home, I made and wrote some Christmas cards.  I stayed up past 2am working on them to get them done so they can be mailed.

11.11

I wore Red for red Day but I didn't take good pictures.

Sweater and Jeans: Express
Shoes: Brooks

Dave and I did some grocery shopping. We probably did other stuff. I forget.

We had a decent dinner. It wasn't just pasta of some sort.
I spent 5 hours in the evening working. Poly spent most of that time on my lap.   I watched Dancing with the Stars while working but there were even times I had to pause it because I couldn't think. And that show is a show you don't even pay attention to.

10.18 - Poly

Shoes: Famous Footwear
Sweater and Pants: Express
Necklace: Black House White Market

No pink today because I had to wear flats that I could walk around in for a few hours. My red shoes are the only ones comfortable enough for that.

Driving an hour to work and longer to get home really does take up a lot of my time. It is only the second day this week and it is awful.  Today I got home from work and immediately ran and still didn't have time. Then I ate dinner and watched TV (while blogging) and it became bed time. I had plans to do other things but was just too exhausted.

Poly was super cute playing with a chip clip. She had me distracted for a good couple minutes.

Day 10 - Red (3.24.11)

 Well it appears I wore my Gap pants with both red outfits. I have worn my Gap pants 3 or 4 times total.

It was windy. Then it wasn't but my hair was messed up. Not good pictures.

It snowed. It was cold out.

Daily Details:
I got up and just put on lipstick and eyeshadow (and not even my normal eye shadow. My plan was to attend my 9:00 meeting then go run at the gym at 10. Therefore only about 3 people would see me so who cares (oh except I did take my outfit pictures so that means all my readers see me too... so maybe 3 more)

I get to work at 8:10. I get out of my car and head over to the passenger side to get out my gym bag, backpack with work laptop in it, and my purse. Just as I was about to pull the handle, I hear the doors lock. Therefore all my stuff was in my car... all my stuff that I needed.   I had to call my husband, who was home telecommuting, and have him bring me my keys. He was not happy but he did it anyway. He had to hurry so he could be back home for his 9:00 meeting.

During my 9:00, I thought about how since I wasted 20 minutes getting my keys, that I would have to work too late if I took the time to hit the gym. Also I forgot I had to get my badge picture taken. There is always a line with those so that is why I hadn't gotten mine taken so far. Also previously they only offered them at certain times and never when I was over in that building.   So therefore badge picture day = day my makeup and hair weren't good. Oh well.

So I really wanted to go to yoga at lunch. I couldn't because I had a conflicting meeting.  Well then that meeting didn't happen and was canceled 6 minutes after it should have started. Boy was I mad.

I stayed at work too late. I could have worked out based on how late I stayed.  I picked up Luchiano's on the way home.  Then we watched TV.

Sunday, December 19 - On the go

Cami, Sweater, Jeans: Express; Shoes: Online somewhere (Brooks Adrenaline 10); Necklace: Lia Sophia; Christmas Earrings: Target

After my cousin's party on the 18th, I spent the night at my parents.  I didn't sleep well because the room was freezing. I also woke up at 5:45 because my gowear fit died and I went downstairs to boot up my computer and charge it a little. I could not handle missing data. Once I opened the door, I slept late.

I woke up, used my computer a little, ran, did abs, showered, and then we headed to lunch.  My mom knows how to get me to stay later. I didn't want to spend my entire day out, because I had so much to do at home. But she got me to stay longer by suggesting going to Texas Roadhouse. Man I love that restaurant.   We also went to Sam's Club after since there is no longer one near me and so we don't have a membership.

I still spent some time with my parents before heading home.

On my way home I stopped at Pat Catan's. I went overboard buying crafts. I was carrying so much that I almost didn't make it through the store. Then I picked up KFC since Dave wanted it and it was only slightly out of the way. Plus he wanted me home around breakfast time not dinner time.

I got home and Poly sure missed me. If she wasn't hanging out with me, she wans hanging out in different bags that I had brought home with me.

I watched the Steeler game while being somewhat productive.

I made Cookies 'n Cream bark. You take 1 lb of Vanilla wavers with 1 package of the cookies mix-in.  You melt the chocolate. Stir in the mix-in. pour on a pan. I thought my pan was slightly big so I didn't cover the entire thing.  You put it in the oven for 15 minutes and then break apart.  It was wonderful and barely took any time to make. I need to stick to make more bark instead of cookies.

Next I made chocolate chip cookies. I forgot to buy nuts but the recipe says they are optional. I also didn't have the 8 oz chocolate bar but I used a few 1 oz ones. I used extra chocolate chips to try to make up for it.

I wanted to make a half recipe but Dave told me to make a full one.  I said there was no way I needed that many cookies, but I listened to him.

Boy did I regret listening to him. 3 hours later I was still making cookies.

It was time for bed after my exhausting day.
