I surprised got dressed out of my pajamas a good number of days. It might not seem like a lot here but that's because I already blogged about a few of the days.  I did wear dresses 2 days in a row.

9.26

(I wrote this almost a month ago but it was sitting in my draft posts.)

The day started off on a better note than any have in a long time.  I woke up at 7:30 AM when Dave was getting ready for work.  I used my laptop in bed for about an hour.   I watched some TV.  If it was like any normal day I would have watched TV all day but I didn't. I also finally read some emails and replied to some.

I went for a run near noon.

I made some collages. I blogged a bit. I read some blogs. I cropped some daily pictures.  I did all these things that I haven't done in ages.  These are all normal everyday things but I haven't done them in ages.

I cleaned up some boxes on the office floor that haven't been cleaned up since we moved in.  I vacuumed the floor.

I had to play with Poly a lot. She was super annoying.

I'm surprised how normal the day was. I started watching Heartland. There are a few seasons of it so maybe I won't finish it in a day like the last series I watched. {I took over a week to watch all 5 seasons.}

I did a lot of little things that take a minute or two to do but I haven't been doing them (like getting the mail, putting pizza boxes in the dumpster, etc)

Dave and I went to Five Guys for dinner. I told him he'd be proud of what all I did throughout the day. I then went on to tell him I only watched 6.5 episodes of TV. He was impressed by that.

I downloaded picstitch for my iphone and tried it out. I didn't play too much because I don't have that many pictures on my iPhone. Do you have any apps dealing with pictures? What are your favorites?

I woke up around 7:30.  Poly was hogging the bed.  She went to sleep when I did and stayed in that spot all night. 

My allergies were so bad. I was miserable and didn't want to do anything. I stayed in bed for ages.  Around 10, I convinced Dave to go buy me allergy medicine. He did that and bought me a bagel. Once the medicine kicked in, I took a nap. I woke up at 1 PM and we headed to lunch.

Dave wanted to go to Mexican but after the other mexican place that upset my stomach, I don't want Mexican for awhile.  We went to In-N-Out Burger. We came home and were going to immediately go to the gym.  That didn't happen. 2 hours later we headed to the gym. We wandered around and couldn't find it. We asked someone from the Leasing office and they showed us.

I did 5 minutes on the bike for warmup and then did weights. Dave did 16 (or maybe 18) minutes on the elliptical and then did weights.   After that we changed into our swim suits and went to the pool for about 20 minutes.

We showered and headed to dinner.  We went to Tomatina. Dave gone bolognese and I got pizza.  I wanted more dinner food but Dave hacked me.  He wanted to try the pizza too so that's how he tricked me. I had 4 other options I wanted before wanting pizza.   We went to Jamba Juice after. I didn't like it.
We went to sit down outside and dave put the drinks on the table then used the table to push on to sit down and tilted the table way up and 1/4 my smoothie spilled out onto the table and Dave's leg. I was disappointed. But then when I didn't like it, I guess it was OK.  Mine could have used more time in the blender. There were still fruit chunks that I had to chew. I don't like to have to chew my drinks.   We didn't want to just sit there so Dave suggested we walk around in the plaza.  We found this computer store. It was crazy. They had a row of fans, a row of motherboards, a row of this and that. Everything was for computers you could build yourself.  You don't have to order online to make a computer around here.  Dave was impressed.  The prices were also good.

I got home and put the load of laundry in the dryer but wanted to go to sleep.  I had to stay awake just so I could fold everything.  The dryer warning buzzer practically gave me a heart attack when it went off..

8.5 - Productive Day

I wore many outfits.  First I ran. Then I put on this dress ans sandals (Target + Walmart).

Then I mowed the lawn and wore my shorts I got in 7th grade with my tank from Target.  I mowed the lawn.

Then I put back on the dress and my Target sandals.

I had a busy day so that I could tell people about how productive it was.

I ran, did some stuff, mowed the lawn, sewed my shirt, hemmed Dave's pants, and then went to my parents for their picnic.  Sewing was hard because Poly kept getting into everything.

I didn't know what to wear to my family picnic.  I always try to get Dave to help me but he never answers. So this time I picked out a bunch and put them all on the bed and asked Poly to pick.  She came over and crawled on the one she wanted.  Then I knew what to wear.  The problem was that she wouldn't get off of it.  It is funny that she picked the dress I had on earlier that day.

I didn't take any pictures at my parents house. All the cousins were there too and that rarely happens. Jason wanted to knock apples off the tree. Mike helped him out with that.  Then they threw all the apples into the woods.  It looked tiring.  I took these pictures standing as far from the edge of the deck as possible and then reached my hand out to get the pictures.

After we got home, Poly knew it was time to read so she held the book down so we would pay attention to her instead of paying attention to the book.

7.27 - Run, Allergy Shot

I went to sleep early last night. I had plans to meet Kelly at North Park at 6:30 AM. All throughout the night I feared that I would not wake up in time. Almost every hour I woke up and had to double check the clock. The first of those was around midnight and clearly midnight isn't time to wakeup. I was just stressing.  Therefore I did not sleep well.

I woke up and got ready to go. I was running 1 minute behind, then I got stuck behind a slow car so ended up arriving 2 minutes late.  I hate being late. I was stressed when I didn't see Kelly.

I texted Kelly that I was there and was asking where she was.  I checked my email and waited.  Then I decided to call her and realized I had the incorrect phone number for her in my phone. The last number was wrong.  Then I spent time digging in my emails looking for her phone number. That took some time. I waited some more.  I texted the correct number. I called. I didn't leave a message though.  I waited some more. I started running 30 minutes late. I ran myself.   I did not run nearly as fast as I thought I might. I didn't have anyone pushing me. I ran with my phone in case Kelly would show up late. I was half distracted.  I reiterated my thoughts that going counter clockwise is better because the last mile is all down hill or level.

At 3.3 miles into it, my right hip started hurting. I don't know why. I stopped to stretch it, then kept going.   The "loop" done by cutting into the boathouse was 5.01 this time. Not cutting through the boathouse it was 4.96 last time.  My goal was 47 minutes and I was so close but did not make it

After the run, I went to save my data. To do that you hold the reset button for 3 seconds. On the third second, something went funky with the screen and I got concerned.  I got concerned with reason. When I got home, the data wouldn't load. The file was corrupt.  

Just as I was done running, Kelly texted me. She slept in. She forgot to set her alarm.  I found that odd because she had confirmed with me about 5 times via email to make sure we were still on to run.

On my way into the house, I went to check if we had to turn on the sprinkler and saw that we have new grass!

I got home and started to work. I couldn't handle my lack of data.  I tried to type my .25 splits based on memory. I also knew my times specifically at certain parts. After typing in my guesses, I was off by 3 seconds.  Not too bad!  Still my data isn't exact though.

Poly hung out with me a little during the work day.

Around 3pm, I decided to give it another try to call the doctor to switch doctors. It was way more difficult than I thought it would be. At least with my old doctor you would get a machine. Here you get hold music and then ringing and then repeat or you get busy signals.  It took 11 tries and 20 minutes before I got through to someone. I really thought about giving up just based on the ability to call the doctors. But it has taken me 6 months just to get this far so I went with it.  They can give me allergy shots but the doctor has to see me first. The earliest appointment I can get is in a month. I'll see the doctor and then be able to get allergy shots from them.  How exciting to finally have a doctor. The female doctor I wanted isn't taking on new patients so I took the guy. This is the same practice Jen goes to and she's happy with them all and you can see other doctors at the practice when you are sick and need a first available appointment.  Yay, I'm finally not doctorless.  I just need to get the records from the old doctors now.   I don't go to the doctors often. I've actually been looking for an excuse to go for awhile now.  I just need one so when I go to a specialist they have someone to send the reports to. I wish they would send everything to me all the time.  Are you happy with your primary care physician?  Have you been going to the same one for awhile?

After work, I went to get an allergy shot. Then I went to Rivertowne for dinner with Timmy.  I took my daily picture when I got home. Poly seemed like she wanted in them.

Now we're watching Master Chef and then it is bed time.  

6.15 - Happy Birthday Callie

Necklace: Target
Dress: Target
Shoes: Target
...wow all from Target

For my Style the Scavenged Seven, the dress part of it. 6/7 there for the first week and it's only mid week.

I may or may not appear tan in these pictures.  I was tan from the bottle. It was probably the best it worked, then it started going downhill after that. It's quite an art form. I didn't use any of it on my face. I did put it on my neckline, arms, and legs.

Poly discovered a new bag to sit on. She would bring back the ponytail and put it right on my backpack. It was her home base.

I had leftover Velveeta Shells and Cheese for lunch.  I ran after that. I was going to run in the morning but didn't fit it in. Instead of feeling guilty about it, I just went for a quick run at lunch.

Poly found a good napping spot on my backpack. It is moved from the position in the collage above. 

After work I was going to Callie's to celebrate her birthday.  I ended up working 1 hour longer than I thought so my times weren't as planned when getting to Callie's.  I stopped at Giant Eagle to buy a cake too. Then I was going to pick up Timmy, even though I didn't know why. I was supposed to run with Callie so I didn't know what he would do while we ran. Well I get to my parents and he won't leave. He said the party doesn't start until 8. Sigh. I didn't get to run with Callie.   Then we got to Callie's around 8.  They weren't ready. But I didn't even know a yard party was official so if we would have run, it would have been OK. I had running clothes in the car. 

On the Turnpike on the way to my parents I saw a Megabus for the first time.

When we got to Callie's, her dogs were lounging around. Callie wore them out running with them for so long.  Calle's mom doesn't allow the dogs on her couches so pretend you didn't even see it above :)

Calle's party was for her birthday.  Her brother put her present up too high.   Callie's mom had a cake and a pie. Callie didn't want everyone to sing to her. I know her pain.  After the singing, Callie's mom went and got the cake I bought.  So there were 6 people for 3 cakes and 3 kinds of ice cream.   It was chilly but I got athletic shorts from the car and put them on under my dress and it was a lot better.   Timmy got cold and used wrapping paper as a blanket. He said it was warm.   My parents came over after awhile and brought me a hoodie.  Callie fell asleep around 10:30 but we did not leave yet.  Timmy left with my parents but came back with his own car so he could stay for ages. He brought 3 people on his way back but Callie was asleep so never even saw them.

I love Callie's family. I also love that they just shout across the street to the neighbors to come over to get birthday cake.

I was going to take work clothes and PJs just in case it got too late, but Poly was on my backpack when I left and I felt bad so I didn't bring it with me.   I left Callie's around 1.  We played Encore around the fire.  We played "campfire" rules where you don't actually follow the real rules or use the timer.

I was out really late. I drove the whole way home without falling asleep or having to stop to take a nap.

Necklace: Walmart
Cami: Costco (perhaps it was Sam's Club)
Shirt: Loft
Pants: VS
Sandals: Target

Dress and shoes: Target, Necklace: Walmart

 I came home from work and wanted out of my work pants but it was early so I thought it was too early to change directly into my pajamas. Well before even leaving the bedroom I fell asleep for a nap. I guess it should have been a good time for pajamas. I napped for about three hours.  I went for a walk with Dave after that.  Then that stupid nap messed up my sleep schedule and I could not fall asleep. At 1:30 I started reading and replying to work emails. After a few I realized they'd have a time stamp and wondered if anyone would notice (they did). 

5.30 - Memorial Day

Shoes: Walmart (I think) in 2003
Dress: Target in 2010

I threw this on after trying on old clothes.  It was the start of my realization that dresses are as comfy as yoga pants but look a little more polished.

Poly was getting in my way of trying on clothes. I'd put them on my bed and she'd go over and sit on them.  I never did end up trying on that skirt. She sure got a lot of cat hair on it. I went to go post about trying on clothes and Dave fell asleep while he was reading and Poly napped too. Then she was ready to move onto new clothes I was trying on when I went back over.   I still have a lot more clothes to go through.  I also would like to mix and match some outfits because I probably have things that go together and don't realize and in the morning I'm too tired to think and just go with what I know.

I watched TV with Dave and Poly.  We didn't leave the house even though it was a holiday. We didn't have a picnic. We didn't go to a picnic. We didn't do much of anything.

I kind of wish I had a picnic or something. I kind of wish the patio was done so I'd have a table outside. I guess you can't have everything and at least I have a super cute cat.
