8/12

 This is a familiar outfit.

8/13

 So many outfits in one day. I wore the pink in the pool.

8/14

I broke out some of my tops from the limited.

8/15

This is another limited top.

Dave and I went out to a late dinner. I wore a skirt. I was going to wear high heels but nothing worked out right so I didn't spend the time to find them in my closet.  The top of this skirt was about 4 inches higher than where it should be. It wouldn't zipper at the appropriate spot.

8/16

As you can see I wear the same shorts everyday.

 Here is that familiar outfit again.

Ella is really good at looking at the camera. Too bad I was trying really hard to get a picture to show the back of her onesie.

8/19

This top from the limited was shorter and slightly tighter than the rest. It was the same size though.  These pants did not work.  They are too loose in the top half and too tight in the bottom half. They pretty much hurt my calves from squeezing so tight.

8/20

I forgot my daily outfit. It's a shame there are numerous days I wear real clothes and leave the house and forget my picture.

3.5

I woke up and had to hurry to get to work because I was carpooling with Dave.

I felt swamped at work. It sure sucks that I was sik last week because now I just feel like I have 3 extra days worth of work to do.

Dave and I went to the gym after work.  My knee feels a lot better. Going down the stairs to get to the gym was the roughest part.  Using the exercise bike as a warmup is actually pretty challenging. I got out of breath in less than 10 minutes. I realized I was out of breath when someone came over to say hi to me.  Perhaps I shouldn't have the resistance all the way up to 10.

I used the exercise bike, did foam roller exercises, did a core workout, stretched, then did weights. Dave was ready to leave so I didn't get to finish all the leg weights.

We got home and while eating dinner started watching Dexter. We watched it until 10PM and then watched Rachel Maddow. Man was I sad to stop watching Dexter. There are 2 episodes left in Season 4 and I just want to finish the season but Dave doesn't watch as much TV as I'd like and I can't watch without him.

Later on in the evening I loaded my BodyMedia Fit numbers and even with going to the gym, I was well below my calorie burn for the day that it suggested I go bike.  I'm used to seeing it tell me I did an amazing job and beat my calorie burn goals.

Happy Birthday to me.

My birthday fell on a 9/80 day off. Boy was I excited.  Well then it turned out I had to go into work for a 4 hour meeting.  Not so bad. I figured I could leave at lunch.  My meeting in the morning went pretty well.

This morning I got a birthday card.  Then later that same person bought me a brownie.  They were from the same person.  It was extra special because she's not even a good friend. She is just a coworker. It makes me happy.  I actually wanted to take her out to lunch based on how hard she is working but she was MIA when I went to eat lunch. So I ate alone in my cube.  Since I'm never at work on the same Friday as Jen, I forgot she was around. She had other plans anyway.

Then I had additional work to do.
Then I ended up at work later than 95% of the people  Then after 11 hours, it got better.
Two friends offered to go out to dinner with me since I said Dave was full from lunch so no birthday dinner for me.  I picked Olive Garden.  There was a wait.   Nick said I had to eat 3 bowls of pasta.... so I did.  I actually got 4 because the waiter messed up one so I ate half the wrong one.  Nick coordinated them to bring me a cake. He was tricky. I even had a bowl after that.  The waiter laughed when I asked for my 4th bowl.  I guess I ate more than he or anyone thought.  I wasn't even full when I quit eating. I was just taking so long. I was done eating a good 20 minutes after everyone else.  I just quit so that I didn't make everyone else wait.

At dinner, Dave made me open my birthday present.  He got me a new camera.  How exciting.  He made claims of not getting me anything since I spent so much at the mall less than a week ago.

After dinner, Dave and I watched The X Factor.

I worked 53 hours so far this week. I still have more work to do. I didn't get done what my manager asked for yet. I have to do that this weekend.  My work week should have been 36 hours!
