2.26

 Pants and Top: VS, Shoes: Aldo, Jewelry: Target

I hit snooze a lot and finally woke up at 10. I watched TV all day. I even watched TV when I ate lunch.

I finally went for a run at 4:45 PM. I almost went at 3 but it was 66 degrees and sunny so I watched another show.

Dave and I went to In N Out for dinner.  My burger was so pink that I actually went back up to the counter and asked for a fully cooked one. Then we watched American Idol.  I watched Carrie Diaries after that. I did some Donut Popping. I don't know if you ever noticed but all the screen shots I take at the end of games show that I could have easily not died if I would have just used one of the many stars that I had. The screen shot above is an example of that.  I would have just had to use a star on the right and one on the left and I would have been good to keep going.

Pants: VS
Shirt: Loft
Necklace: Target
Sandals: Kohl's
Earrings: Gifted from Callie

These pants get annoying because of the seam on the left pant leg. They are also pretty long. I only have a few pairs of shoes to wear with them. I have these sandals or my one pair of boots. The weather is so weird around here that I think I can get away with sandals for a little bit.  Some people wear sandals while others have on winter coats and hats. It's all very confusing.

Dave told me I have a ton of gray hair!

Dave invited Poly in my shoe box and she listened.

We went to Outback for lunch. The cheese fries are only good dipped in Ketchup.  Also I try to get fries from the bottom without cheese or bacon.  The creamy broccoli soup was delicious.  I think this is the first time I didn't eat more than one loaf of the bread.  We went grocery shopping after.

We watched some TV. I forget what else we did.

Shirt: Old Navy
Pants: VS (they are made wrong or something because the seam on the left foot is always twisted near the front and I can't seem to fix it)
Shoes: Kohl's
Necklace: F21

I started my day off with a run. I really did take advantage of the extra hour of sleep from changing the clocks. I wish when we picked the time to run, we would have taken into account the clock change and gone earlier.  It was so exhausting running in the sun. I even got some sunburn. (You can see it in the pictures.)

After I got home, I showered and looked at running data. Then I watched the Steeler Game.  Dave read the newspaper during the entire game.  I can't believe the bad calls the refs had against the Steelers.

Then I watched some more TV.  I just wanted to rest on the couch.

We went to dinner with Hilary and Wes. We took them to BJs. They hadn't been there.  I was already ready for bed by the time it was dinner time. The run was exhausting to Hilary too.

I barely watched any TV after dinner but I did put in laundry for Dave. He claimed he needed jeans. He gave me no warning. I was actually asleep on the couch and had to wake up to fold laundry.  That sucked.

3.14

Running Outfit: Tank from Target in the regular clothes section. Capri yoga pants in the clearance section for $4.48.  I always run with my hair in a ponytail like this. Usually I have a headband but since this was a short run, I didn't dig it out.  Sometimes I want to try braiding my hair for the run. I have yet to do that though.

Happy Hour Outfit: Shirts and Pants from VS. Shoes from Aldo. Necklace from Sears.

I telecommuted. It was nice. I even went for my short run at lunch.  I set up the tripod and took my picture running a little after completing my run.

I wasn't even hungry to actually eat lunch until 2:30 or later.  I was still full from all the sugar puffs the night before.

I went for a walk with Dave after work. (He was being silly in the shadows so I used my phone to take pictures.) Then I headed to On the Border for happy hour with NA-YGN.

After that Dave and I watched TV. I did some blogging during some shows and then I did more upstairs. I was so tired at 9:30 that I almost went to sleep but I used the computer until Dave was ready for bed. For some reason my brain thinks that if he's still up it is too early to go to bed so then I don't even go into bed.

2.10 - Skate Party

Poly tried to camouflage herself with my bags so I would take her with me.
I got to work early and was one of the last ones there.  I left close to 5:30 to head to our NA-YGN Skate Party

We got some good pictures at the party.

I got some pictures of people skating but most turned out bad.  I don't know how to work my camera well enough when it is dark and people are moving and with people so far away.  I guess I should learn how to work the camera and practice a little more. I guess if I went to Schenley park more than once a year maybe I'd remember what settings I used by the end. 

I left a bit after 11:30.  I got home and should have gone right to bed but I did not.

The pictures of my car are what my car looked like when I got home. It was full of leftover stuff that needs to be given to someone else in charge of other events for NA-YGN.

Then after that, I loaded all my pictures and started making collages. I ended up staying up far too late.   I just got too into trying to finish the collages and lighten some of the pictures. Also Poly had my arm so I only had one arm to work with.

Shirt, Pants, and Boots are all from VS.

I did a lot of blogging. I didn't workout. I cuddled with Poly. I found an inhaler under my sink that expired in 2006. I've moved once since it expired and probably twice or 3 times since I got it.   My printer is putting black dots on the right side of the pages.

At 7pm I went to Brie's birthday celebration.  A lot of people showed up. More than she even expected.  I stayed there until past 10, which was longer than the invite said or longer than I expected. I took 2 pictures there but the lighting was so dim that my camera took too long and then both ended up looking awful. Dave was already asleep when I got home.

1.15

Sweater: Express
Pants: VS
Scarf: NY&Co.
Earrings: Target
Shoes: Aldo (I think)

I slept in. I was tired.  Poly slept with me.

Poly likes to peep out the window. Now she has to go between the window and the blind. Isn't she cute?

Dave and I went to the gym.  Nobody was there so I had Dave take my picture. We used the continuous feature that I didn't realize I had.

I run too close to the front so my arms have to be angled up or the display gets in the way.

Changing speed. I do this every minute to make it less boring.

Writing down my time. I do this every .25 mi

The gym was in the process of being painted so equipment was all over the place and Dave couldn't take a picture from the side.  I need to figure out how to get pictures of me doing Body Pump.  I only ran 4 miles on the treadmill because Dave's blood sugar got low. I had to go get some emergency food from my purse (and now I'm out) and he sat down and ate it. I finished the mile and then we left. (I did 4 miles at a 9:09 pace.)

I fell asleep with Poly on me.
Poly was trying to move my lens cap and also to peep in my purse.

I was going to skip the last 4 days in December because it's been so long but I needed to post the pictures of Dave so anywhere here's the post.

Shirt and Jeans: JCP
Shoes: online probably zappos.

Those were his new jeans he got for Christmas.  The shirt we bought in December when we were buying Christmas presents.

Sweater: F21
Pants and Boots: VS
Belt: Target
Scarf: NY&Co

Poly helped us sleep in.

We made macaroni and cheese.
We ate at some restaurant.
I also ironed but didn't take pictures of that.

Poly was so cute.

I went to the Italian Miners club with the family.  I learned only men can be members there.  Each member could bring in 2 guests and that's how we had to work it.  I kind of tried to sneak the pictures because I didn't want them on to me, but my camera has the laser thing that goes out first to try to focus that blew my cover.  Mike and Agnes were in from Brooklyn. Callie was visited from Colorado. I guess the club was where it was at.

1.20

Dave, Poly, and I hung out in bed until about 8am.  Usually I would be asleep until 8 or later but Dave set his alarm for 7 and so I was up too.

Then I went to shovel. It took a good 20 minutes and there was only about an inch.

Then it was back to bed to hang out with Poly before I started cleaning.

My day was much busier than I thought. Many people were concerned about the weather for our NA-YGN Holiday Party.   I logged into work and spent far too much time discussing the party and options on the pending snow.  Then I had to meet my parents for lunch.  We left late.  We also made wrong turns like we always do. Haufbrahaus was good.

Then we went to a movie. War Horse was longer than we expected when signing up so I actually didn't get out of there until 5:10.  The holiday party started at 5. Oh boy. The stress.

I got to Dave & Busters at 5:15 and tried to set some things up.  I tried to socialize but I was being being in charge too so that is always stressful. Dave wants me to be with him but I have to do being in charge things.

Even after dinner, he wanted to play games with me but I had to handle some of the additional games we were playing for NA-YGN and then distribute the prizes.

Finally after all that was done, we got to play some fun games. At least everyone else seemed to have fun throughout the night.

We left around 9:40 after cashing in our tickets and having 1957 but wanting to buy nothing. We bought some candy and saved the rest.   It wasn't snowing at all when we left but minutes later started and was snowing the entire way home. We took 79 to 228 instead of taking back roads but thens someone on 228 was going so slow it was annoying. I'd have to brake going up hill which made me think we'd get suck.  After cars between us turned, I learned the culprit had a Florida license plate.

I got out of the car at the road to go up and get my boots and shovel. I was walking up and it seemed good so I thought no big deal and then boom it got bad and I was sliding. So I tried to make it over to the grass to make it up. That was really hard. I failed and ended up fully on my stomach with my hands up near my head kind of blocking my face from hitting the driveway.

We got home and Poly sure missed us. We fed her but she didn't even care. She just wanted to hang out with us.  We went to bed and were using our laptops reading reddit and heard her crying. She had gone downstairs to get some food or something and forgot we were home and cried out of loneliness. Dave called her and said we were here and she never ran up the steps so fast. Poor Poly. Poor Poly forgetting we were home but also Poor her because she probably does this when we aren't home.

We used the computers for a little bit then went to sleep.  It was a tiring day.

I FORGOT TO TAKE MY DAILY PICTURE! But this is what I wore.

1.1

1st outfit: Pants: Target, Jacket: Dick's
2nd outfit
Pants: VS
Shoes: Aldo
Sweater: Express
Necklace: Lia Sophia

I guess it was already the 1st when I went to sleep.  I went to sleep around 5:30 AM.  I set my alarm for 10am. I hit snooze once. I got up. I got ready. I went to take a nap but couldn't because my tooth hurt so much.

Then I hit the road to head home.  I got home and watched In Treatment with Dave.  We ended up watching 2 episodes which didn't work well for my plan. During the first episode Dave wanted to know if I wanted to go to North Park and walk with him. I can never turn him down.

We went and walked but since we watched 2 episodes, I knew I'd be a tiny bit late to Adrienne's.  Well 2.28 (and 2.22) miles from the car a bit storm comes in. We stopped under a pavilion to wait out the storm and sideways rain. Well this put me even more behind schedule.  Plus now that meant I couldn't just go home and change and head out the door.

I was so late. I at least sent a warning text I'd be late.  Man I hate being late. I was so stressed.   I was supposed to arrive at 4 and have us eat at 5 and I arrived at 5. I'm the worst. I hate me. I hate when people are late and I was late.  They told me not to worry about it but I couldn't help myself.  As I was leaving Dave told me to pretend that it starts at 6:30 and I'm early. Like that would ever work!

We had a very nice time. Callie was there.  It was just their family, Callie, and me.  I think Dave would have liked it if it wasn't on at the same time as the Steeler Game.  He didn't go. They said they understood but it is just really annoying that Dave never goes.

We left around 8:45. After I got home, I finally got to analyze my data from my race and run the previous day. I never even look at my mile splits. I've never gone that long without looking at race data. I rarely go that long without looking at normal run data.

I spent so long at my computer that I was exhausted. It was even only midnight.

12.11

Jacket: Armoni Exchange
Pants: VS (corduroy)
Shirt: F21
Necklace: NY&Co.
Boots: VS

These pants are a bit long but I'm afraid the corduroy will shrink.  Also the inseams go by 2 inch increments and I don't want 2 inches shorter.

I woke up at 9 with an alarm. I did not want to get out of bed. I was so tired.

Then I used my computer.  Finally at 11, I ate leftovers for lunch.  We watched a few episodes of West Wing. Then we went to the mall to return something and do some Christmas shopping. The mall was packed. It was hard to find a parking spot. The spots really far away were even taken.  It was a zoo in the mall. I hate shopping.

Then after the mall, we went and had pizza for dinner.  Then it was off to the gym.  I ran while Dave used the elliptical then we did weights.  I think he'll be sore tomorrow. {he was. I typed this on the 11th but never got to cropping the pictures}  I might even be.

While I ran I got the least tired I've gotten in awhile. I think it was because I was watching football on TV.  The game was kind of interesting. Green Bay had 43 points and Oakland had 7.  I enjoyed hearing all the stats about the game.   During that game Green Bay got more points this season than any other season. They have also scored 57 touchdowns which is a single season team record. The announcer had mentioned the last time Oakland allowed that many points in a game but I forget when but it was many years ago. Does anyone know what year that was?  My quick googling turned up empty but probably because I don't know the appropriate football terms to search for.  By the end of my run it was 46-7.  Who knew I'd care to watch any game that wasn't the Steelers.

I got home and started updating different excel files. Next thing I knew it was after midnight. While updating excel files I did watch a little youtube. Drunk Kitchen was pretty funny.
