October 16-31 Outfits

 I actually wore real clothes some of these days too but no pictures. These are October 20, 21, 22, and 23.

 Half marathon outfit. Man that belt makes the outfit look less cool

The teal top and the color blocking top are new. The purple top is a little wide but it was the smallest size they had. I started buying tall tops online at JCP hoping they'd work. 2 of 4 worked.

I sure wore a lot of outfits.

I went to the endocrinologist in the morning (Outfits 1 and 2).   When I got home, Dave wanted me to go to Google so I changed into my brown boots (not pictured) and drove to google. I biked home. I was so dang hot I changed into shorts and a tank. On the way home I removed my cardigan.

I did go to Sprouts and Target. I did a lot of walking. It was hot. I meant to run which is why I had workout clothes on but that never happened.

We got Chinese food for dinner. I wasn't a big fan. I wish the chicken was all white meat.

On the episode of Freaks and Geeks I watched there was a basset hound. It sure was cute.

I woke up and played Solitaire in bed. I took over a month off without playing it at all so I wasn't very good. I used to win 90% of the games but I think I lost 90%.  Then I watched an episode of Psych.
I went to my computer and did a few things.

I went for a quick run.  I ate lunch. I watched some TV.
I did some cleaning. I did the laundry. I probably watched more TV but can't remember.
At 3:30, I went to the gym. I used the elliptical while reading. Then I lifted weights. Then I went to run a half mile on the treadmill while reading.  It was a little harder to do. I still managed to run at 6.0 mph. I ran before while reading a normal book and I could only go for a minute or 2 before I had to walk because my eyes couldn't take reading such fine print.  At least with a kindel you can make the font larger.  Next time I might even go a little larger.  I only ran a half mile. That was my plan though so it wasn't like I was cutting it short.

I got back showered, and then started cooking dinner.

I made roasted potatoes and hot dogs. I also heated up some beef thing for Dave (some refrigerator prepackaged meal type deal).  (Dave filled up the gas tank on his way home from work.) We watched Rachel Maddow and then the Last Word.    Then I watched the Mentalist. I didn't remember anything that happened last year so I rewatched the season finale before watching the first episode of this year.   I wanted to watch a 2nd episode but I decided to go to my computer and do another chapter in my programming book.

Workout clothes: Tank: Kohl's, Carpis: Target
Normal outfit: Shorts: American Eagle, Top: Express, Sandals: Kohl's

We went to Baja Fresh for lunch. I tried quacamole and sour cream on my quesadilla. I did not like it. I will just stick with dipping my quesadilla into salsa verde.  How do you eat a chicken quesadilla?

I took more pictures of the state of the apartment but it just looks like a mess. I took them in the hopes that when I'm done I can show the evolution of certain rooms.

I unpacked more stuff that was broken. Dave thought he left his bobbleheads at work so I guess it's OK that they are all ruined.

I was going to go take a nap. I was exhausted.  Instead I decided to move the bookshelf that was temporarily in the living room.  Then I even got Dave to mount it right away so we could start using it right away.  I sure don't know how to nap. 

We hung 3 pictures up. It's a start right?  (I think the 2 by the front door are too high but that's what happens when someone 6'5 hangs them I guess.)

We went to some new place for dinner, Elephant Bar and Restaurant. Since I was in the mood for PF Chang's I ended up ordering something similar. It was nowhere near as good.  The menu had calorie counts for everything. I love that so many places around here have it.  Then we went to frozen yogurt after. The dispenser was so incredibly slow that I couldn't take it and only ended up with a tiny bit. I started checking in on Yelp so I got 3 places in 1 day on my first day of checking in.  It makes me want Foursquare so maybe I'll get that one of these days.

After dinner Dave started hooking up some stuff on the computer. Poly was helping.

Then we watched some TV. Poly did too.

I had a sports bra on and tank top. I had plans of working out.  I never worked out. I made it dinner appropriate by putting on a jacket.

3.30 - Busy

Pants and both tanks: F21, shoes: Aldo, Jacket: NY&Co
I keep second guessing sizing up. The pants are too big in the butt. Look at them in the back. That's freshly washed and how they look. I didn't even sit down in the yet.  After a few hours they got even worse.

I spent the morning cleaning  and then blogging.   Dave and I headed out to lunch. Before we left Poly sure put on her cute face (on the ottoman on her red bag).  She was really cute.  She didn't convince us to stay home though.  We headed to Aviva for lunch.  We were not sure where to go and had somewhere else in mind then we went there.  It was a good choice.  Dave ordered meatballs for appetizer and I liked them.  I never eat meatballs. I sure liked them though.   I had even ordered spaghetti and meatballs for my meal and planned to give Dave my meatballs and maybe only eat one by breaking it all up. Instead of that, I asked for more bread and only ate the meatballs.

We went to Target after. I bought a new purse, purple shoes, earrings, and a necklace.

On my way home I got a work phone call and ended up working for an hour.
I cleaned more and blogged more. While cleaning I ended up making a bigger mess.
worked for an hour

I went to the track with Dave. I did a walk/run interval with him. I ran 1 lap without him while he walked so I could get some extra distance to help contribute to getting a new maximum mileage for the month. I even started my Garmin while walking from the car because I knew all the mileage would add up to help me out.  Dave has been doing a pretty good job at running.  He just needs to double that to be able to do the 5k in the middle of May.


We had leftovers for dinner and watched TV after that.  We watched American Idol, Modern Marvels, Big Bang Theory, Grey's Anatomy, and Rachel Maddow.  Then I blogged until late to catch up on old posts.

3.4 Stuffed Peppers

Tank: F21 ($4.50 new)
Pants: Express (~$20 and from 2006)

It didn't even feel cold outside. I was so hot all day even in the tank top.

I woke up and got ready to run with Adrienne. I'm all ready to head out the door and my car won't start. I knew I needed a new battery but I've been lazy and so far all is well. I guess 7 years is too long and my battery just won't work more.   At least I had the opportunity to get in Dave's car and head out so I didn't have too much trouble.

After I got back from running, I iced my knee and then showered. I didn't feel like dealing with my car yet. Dave and I watched a lot of TV.  I love Dexter. I'm really addicted to watching it.   There was a brief time that Dave didn't want to watch it so I watched Unforgettable.  Paulo came to visit. We also made stuffed peppers.

We went to bed shortly after 10pm.
