3.8

(Dave told me I looked fat in this outfit but maybe it's the 6 lbs I gained in 10 days.)

Earlier in the week I thought they wouldn't be bad but as the week went on, my calendar got booked solid. I don't know how it happened but meetings all day mean I can't get real work done.

I ate lunch at my desk and worked. That was the only spare time I had. I only had time during lunch because I skipped a meeting. The meeting I skipped was the only optional meeting and the only fun meeting. Ahh well.

Then at 4:30 I was finally done with meetings and Jen came over to visit. We talked for almost an hour. It makes up for us never having lunch anymore.

I was going to go to the gym after work and then go to PiYo at the other gym.  Well I didn't go to the gym and just went to 5 Guys on the way home.  Then Dave tricked me knowing my addiction for Dexter and then I missed going to PiYo too.  Then I don't even get to watch Dexter until midnight. He even wanted to stop after 1 episode which was just shortly after the class at the gym started.

We did watch 3 episodes of Dexter. I want to watch more. Between each episode Dave wastes many minutes just telling me we aren't watching more. He just tortures me and wastes time then wonders why 3 episodes take up so much time.

After watching Rachel, Dave went up to bed. I decided to watch Biggest Loser. I was falling asleep near the end of it but still watched Cougar Town when that was over.  Then I watched the rest of Unforgettable that I had started a few days earlier. Well now I was getting awake so I watched One Tree Hill and then 90210 after that. I finally went up to bed at 1:45 AM.

Day 2: Red  (you can join Color Rotation anytime. It makes getting dressed fun.)
Shirt: NY&Co
Sweater: Express
Pants: Gap
Shoes: JCP
Necklace: NY&Co

The shirt is for red not the shoes!   I layered up since Monday was so cold and it was 53 degrees in the afternoon. I guess I need to pay better attention to the weather.  All these after work pictures have my hair looking like crap. I guess I should brush it first.  Also my camera remote isn't working. It is very annoying. I got too used to it.

I got to work at 7am. I left work around 5. Then we headed to pick up my car. Got home, changed, and went to go to the track to run, ran a measly 2 miles, walked 1 lap, then left. We got home and ordered pizza. Watched TV. Didn't do much. Was pretty tired.

During my run, I didn't run slow. I ran 2 miles in ~16:40 (approximate because I didn't type my numbers yet)  My best lap was lap 5 at 1:57. Laps 1 through 5 were constantly improving but I was still running with a limp.  I decided my calf/leg would just get worse so I would take it easy and not injure myself worse. I still don't know what was wrong.  Later on in the evening I tried to walk holding Poly and I couldn't handle it. The extra weight of a little cat made it bad.  I didn't take any medicine or anything.  When I was in bed trying to go to sleep I thought of getting ice because my left calf/shin hurt and my right foot hurt. I was too lazy to get ice though so I didn't.

I did run 3 out of 4 days. I also didn't take a rest day on Monday like I should have. Perhaps it is all adding up. Perhaps all the pain is all in my head because I'm worrying about the marathon. Perhaps it is something real and I think it is all in my head and then I'll end up with an injury.

I used my color wheel this morning.
Pants: Gap, Skirt: Express, Necklace: Kohl's, Shoes: Aldo, Cami: Express

If I sleep in too long, it is too bright in the morning and I don't get good pictures.

I broke my rules and wore bone shoes with a white cami.  My white dress shoes are sling backs and don't work well with pants. I put them on and took 2 steps out of my closet and already couldn't stand them.

Dave not only left the grill cover off but left the grill opened after dinner the night before.

Poly was spying on me while I took my daily picture.

Poly napped on me in the morning. I hit snooze or so I thought but then I slept for another 20 minutes with no alarm. Oops.

We had peanut butter pie again. The filling seemed to have disappeared. It also didn't stay in pie form very long.   Now I have even more of a desire to get peanut butter pie like I originally wanted.

Poly thinks she owns the place.

7.21 - Busy Thursday

I had a completed patio so why not take daily photos the first day possible.
Pants: Gap
Shirt: NY&Co
Cardigan: Kohl's
Shoes: Aldo
Necklace: Filene's basement.

I had issues with what to wear with these pants because I kept thinking my red shirt with the white cardigan but I didn't want to be so patriotic.  I settled on a light blue after a lot of staring at my closet.  What do you normally wear with navy pants?


My white shoes are slingbacks and I couldn't handle my pant leg going under my heel so after 10 seconds I changed into my bone shoes. It is the first time I wore white and bone together.

I said there wouldn't be any more surprises but I walked outside and turned around and saw the steps for the first time. They are pretty nice.

After work, I drove home to load up the car for the Stampin' Up party. I had to put a 6 foot table in the car plus all the Stampin' Up supplies for the party. It was about 98 degrees so I was all sweaty from doing this. Then I drove to Mel's and we had to unload it all. It was a workout because it was so hot.  I do not like the heat.  Then Mel's house was warm and she kept complaining about the A/C not working properly.   We were standing around talking for awhile and at one point, I stepped backwards and my foot went into the vent cover like it has done at home before.  I had to take the grate out of the floor just to get my shoe out. That added a little excitement.
Then there were 9 people plus me for the party.  I thought there would have been 12 but someone had to leave early and left before we even got started making cards. Then someone else got stuck at work late.  Don't you hate it when work gets in the way?

1 of the 3 cards everyone made

I think the party was a success in that everyone handled making the cards and everyone seemed to have fun.
By the time the party was over, I had to load up the car. This time I also had a 4ft table and 4 folding chairs to load in the car. It was far too hot and I was all sweaty after this.  I got home and then had to unload it all. That was also not fun.  I then showered.  I went to bed slightly after.
It was a busy day.  It was about 11pm by the time I got the car unloaded.

Day 2 - Red (3.16.11)

 Day 2 = Red

Pants: Gap, Shirt: NY&Co, Cardigan: Express, Shoes: JCP, Necklace: Sears, Belt and Earrings: Target

I got a compliment on my outfit today. I also got a compliment on my shoes.  Therefore today = win.
I picked out my clothes last night then got out my color coach to see if I did a good job and according to it, I did.

I got my shoes out and Poly immediately sat in the lid.

I put on makeup and Poly played with my jewelry choices. She stopped so I couldn't catch her in the act.

Poly is a perfect angel.

Someone had to do something to my computer so I got to half clean my desk. 

Well last night I went to sleep so I didn't do the work I brought home. I thought I would wake up early to get started on it early. That didn't happen. So then I thought if I just didn't get sucked in with email I would have it done by lunch. Well I got sucked in by email and helping people and didn't even start working on it by lunch. I swear I barely had anything left to do too.   So when I finally started working on it again this afternoon, I figured it was already later than I wanted it so I might as well update all the data in addition to fixing up all the graphs.  Well that was a mistake. It takes forever. I forgot I had to add columns to the exports and do a lot of manual manipulation.

We had an NA-YGN meeting at lunch. After the meeting, there were a lot of snacks left. I was with the last 3 people in the room so we took them. I had a bag and they did not so I got the most. We left 20 drinks behind. We paid for it so I figured we might as well get it instead of the vultures who come down to steal the food.  My bag was stuffed and overflowing. I had to walk about a half mile back to my cube. I got a lot of weird looks on the way.  Oh I was also carrying 2 bags because they would fall out while I was walking.  Someone said they liked my style.  I guess next time I should bring a backpack that holds more. If I bring a bigger bag, there won't be any extra food. That's how it works out.

I got to work at 7:55. I meant to work my 9 hours and then hit up the gym to run 7 miles.  Instead I worked until 7.  I even ordered take-out at 6:30 and got distracted and didn't even leave.  When you leave work as late as I do, the rugs are rolled up and pushed against the door. It is quite the tripping hazard. At least today I had on pants. When I wear a skirt, sometimes the pencil skirt limits my stride enough to almost not step over the roll.

Because of my silly decision to redo the trending to make it up to date, now I have even more work to do. I need to do it tonight.

While I was still at work I texted Dave saying I was hungry. A few minutes later he asked me what was for dinner.  I sent him the above picture. He didn't appreciate it. The more I snacked, the later I would be.  We got Jimmy Wan's. I ate it while watching Undercover Boss.  Now we are watching American Idol.  I want dessert but am not in the mood for any food. But I want something sweet. Ugh.

Poly went in her bag.

American Idol took too long. Now it is 10 and I didn't even start working.  I have been in bed playing gameboy by 10 the last few nights.  Eek now it is 10:45 and all I did was try to add photos to this post.

Yay I can add more than 1 picture at a time to my posts. It wasn't working for entirely too long.
