January 16-31 Outfits

1/16, 1/29, 1/27

 I wear my Randy tee a lot and never get a good outfit pic with it.  I remember taking the workout clothes pictures to post on fb for some reason but have no idea why now. But it shows my pants too so it works for an outfit post.

1/17, 1/18, 1/22, 1/24

Two of the pictures were cropped from group shots and not very good. 1/24 I actually took with my good camera. I'm a real slacker with the good camera.

1/30 and 1/31

Look at how cute Ella is!! I had to include a few.

Google+ makes this movie now sometimes so I thought I'd share it. Too bad it included all the pictures I took even the one where I was touching my face. I guess it only uses ones that I upload but all my pics get uploaded. 

Shirt: Kohl's, Pants: JCP, Shoes: Famous Footwear, Earrings: Target 

(I couldn't decide on a necklace so then apparently I didn't wear one at all. I was trying to decide between short and long.)

I woke up early again. I used my computer. I had some issues so everything took longer than it should have.

I missed out on Evie visiting Pittsburgh. She comes every May to clean up the graves of her relatives. I have helped multiple years. Then the family goes to lunch after. I forced my brother to take a few pictures for me.

I got exhausted so I took a nap on the floor. I didn't mean to fall asleep but Dave brought me an afghan and a pillow so I was bound to. Poly even joined me.

At 5:30, we went to Outback with Wes and Hilary. That was fun. We haven't seen each other in awhile so I wanted to talk more but there was a long wait so we decided to leave so other people could eat.

We went to Whole Foods on the way home. Then we went to Sprouts because I refused to pay the high prices for fruit at Whole Foods. I think all the fruit we bought cost less than the strawberries alone would have been at Whole Foods. We bought strawberries, bananas, grapes, blueberries, and raspberries.

We got home and watched some TV until we went to sleep. Oh Dave did cut up the strawberries and make whipped cream. Man was it tasty.

I packed my lunch and a light dinner because I knew I'd be at work late.  A meeting didn't quite go as planned so most of what I did after work wasn't even what I planned on doing.   I left work around 9pm. I skipped my workout. :(

After I got home I made a sandwich. I watched a little TV with Dave. Then I started working on my Toastmasters speech. It took longer because I was having a presentation instead of just talking. I never practiced what I'd say while going through the slides at all.  I figured I'd wing it. Poly was helping.   I had a few slides automatically transition to the next slide after a few seconds. This is the first time I ever did that.

Boy do I hate how I look in flats. I hate how I stand in flats.

I was so tired so I kept hitting snooze. Dave tried talking to me to get me to wake up.  At one point he said on a scale of 1-10 for cuteness, Poly was a 36.  When I woke up, I said she was a 36. She sure was cute.
I worked. I worked until about 7.  I stopped at Giant Eagle on the way home to buy a couple ingredients.

I got home, cooked a quick dinner, ate, and then started working again.  I worked for 2 hours.
Then I started planning for my Stampin' Up Party.  I was up until 12:30.

First Poly tried to sabotage me by lying on my clothes when I was getting dressed.  Then she ran downstairs and climbed up my leg just as my first daily picture was snapping.   I picked her up and we took a few pictures.  Then I put her down and she didn't end up moving. I didn't pay attention to that and thought she left.  So then we took some more pictures together.  Poly has started running downstairs when she hears me turn on my camera.  She's so cute.

I was at work early because I had to leave at 4 for a dentist appointment.  This was my final appointment.  I got the permanent crown for my tooth that had the root canal.  When I was leaving work, the guard talked to me about working out.

When I was at the dentist, he commented that I'm always dressed spiffy. I commented that I always do for work. He said he was hoping I was home and I just dressed spiffy to come in and see him.   I ended up getting 3 total X-rays at this appointment. I can't remember if I got any the last time. I got 2 or 3 the day of the Root Canal. I got 2 the day they were "fixing" my filling.  I got 1 the day of my filling.  I got 1 the day of my checkup.  I think that is too many x-rays for one person.

After dinner, I did a slow 20 minutes on the exercise bike. I was going to do abs and weights but figured I should just boot up my work computer and get to working.    I worked for 3 hours. If I was spending the time to boot up my computer, I figured it might as well be for as long as possible.  I only stopped working when Dave came to bed and made me stop typing.  If only productivity could be measured by things that don't mean anything because I went through so many emails and finally go my inbox to end with a lower number than I started with.

Day 1 of my Color Rotation Challenge: Pink

I had to carpool with Dave since my oil life is at 0% and I needed to wait until November for a car inspection.  Well we got to work before 7am. That is early. I even had to turn the lights on in my area.

Then at lunch I did Body Pump because I couldn't do it after work or I would have been late for trick-or-treating.   I got to Body Pump a little early and since Kyle wasn't immediately visible I decided to try to run a mile before Pump. I just got it in.  Then after Pump I talked to Kyle and got tape for right below my knee.  After that I walked back to building 4 and finished Dave's walk with him.  I walked 25 minutes with him.   What a long lunch and quite a lot of working out.

We left work at 4:30, got home, got my car, and dropped it off at the dealer. Then we got back in just enough time to make some tuna and eat it before handing out candy. I was still hungry though so I wished I had a few more minutes.

We only got 55 kids this year.  Last year we got 65.  Yet again I didn't know what most of the costumes were.   It was cold and raining for the trick-or-treaters. Poly hung around while I gave out candy to the trick-or-treaters. She liked to look out the door or out the window. Once she got on my lap but then had to get up less than a minute later because kids were at the door.  At 7:30 or so she got to sit on me for a half hour. Good thing no kids came. Then it was 8 and she was still on me. I got Dave to come down to watch TV so then getting up was her idea. Do you dress up for Halloween? Do you recognize all the costumes?

After 8 we watched a little TV then I did yoga. I needed to get yoga in to make my October workouts goals. I didn't want 1 thing holding me back.  I used my computer a little after that to document all my working out and then I went to bed.

I was up past 11. I normally am up later than that but I usually don't get to work at 7 every day.  Nobody is at work early in the morning so I'd like to get in early but you get weird looks when you leave early even if you got in early and you always get calls and emails near the end of the day that force you to stay later anyway.

10.10 - Work, Weights, TV

Shirt: The Limited
Skirt: Express
Shoes: Nine West from Famous Footwear
Necklace: Lia Sophia

I had another entire outfit picked out but then decided to get another time out of this short sleeve sweater before it gets too cold.

I'm really sick of my remote not working. I can't easily get me in focus. The shrubs and grass behind me are what continues to be in focus.

I started out the day thinking I'd wake up early and get to work early. I went to sleep early so I figured why not. Then when my alarm went off I thought how I'd get to work in the dark and wouldn't get my daily pictures. That was the main thought of going back to sleep.  I decided to hit snooze. Poly was extra cute so I hit snooze even longer.  I had a little photo shoot with her before I got ready for work.

I got to work and was super busy. Every Monday I feel super busy when I didn't work over the weekend.  I feel like I just start out behind when that happens.

Dave and I walked at lunch

We went to Long Horns for dinner. I got a chicken and didn't like it. That's a main reason why I don't like to try new things.  I still got full with salad, appetizer, bread, and potato but if I would have liked it, I would have had leftovers.  I went to Target after work

I got home and lifted weights. I didn't lift as long as I would have for Body Pump but at least I did something. Plus my ankle is still bothering me.

Then it was TV time.  Unforgettable, part of Singoff (because Dave went to sleep), Private Practice, Gossip Girl, and then Biggest Loser.

10.8 - Photos

Shirt: The Limited
Jeans: Express
Shoes: Famous Footwear - Connie
Necklace: Lia Sophia

I need to stop wearing the same jeans everyday but I like these so much better than my other 8 pairs.

I started the day by running. That was delayed because I slept in.  It was lunch time by the time I got back. I analyzed data for 1.5 hours instead of taking a shower right away.  I ate 2 half peanut butter sandwiches right after I got back so at least I got some food in me.


I go into my husband's office trying to tell him a good story about my run. He tells me he's trying to concentrate.  I stand there for a minute and then say "I'll go IM it to you" and I leave to do just that. This is normal right?


When I was about to shower my mom called about coming to visit. They came up to show us their new car. We went to Aviva for lunch. My family loved it. We got an appetizer, our meals, then 2 more appetizers.  Then we went to Costco.  My parents stayed over for a few minutes and then headed home.  

After my parents left, we went outside to take some pictures. It got a little too dark by that point. Dave and I were going to go to a park to take them but we didn't fit that in since I ran so long, analyzed data so long, and then my parents visited.   My face was all shiny. My smile is too gummy.  Dave's hair was all messed up. He's trying to fix it in the one picture.  These are still pretty nice pictures anyway. We can always take more another day.  It was a little daylight and the sun wasn't even down yet, but with the flash going off it looks really dark in these pictures.  My favorite picture is the bottom right corner; Dave is making a face and my smile is awful. I like the silliness.  The one of Dave fixing his hair is also good. It was so bad. At least with it being dark you can't tell it is sticking out every which way.

Then we watched TV, played on the computer, and went to sleep early.  I was exhausted.  I was also pretty sure from my run.  My ankle was also still bothering me.  I was thinking I should wrap it but then never did.  16 miles was tiring but less tiring than 13.1 miles was during a race 1.5 years ago.

I wore my new clothes for the first time.  I really loved this outfit.  I was actually shocked I didn't get any compliments while at work. I actually never get compliments when I think I'll get them and I get them when I don't think I will.
This necklace is getting more and more use. I never realized I was missing a necklace this length before but it keeps coming in handy.

I finally got a patterned skirt. This just makes me want even more of them.  Too bad I don't know what else to wear with this skirt besides this shirt (or another shirt this color).

I wore my hair up but it just didn't cooperate in this claw. I had to fix the claw constantly throughout the day.

Too bad I got this sweater so close to when it is super cold out. I won't get enough use out of it.

Somehow I ended up not taking a single picture of Poly. I don't know how this happened.

I worked, went to Body Pump, and came home after that.  I watched TV and went to sleep early.  The Steeler Game kept me up too late Sunday so then I had to make up for it Monday.
