December 16-31 Outfits

I actually wore boots 3 of the 4 days here. I definitely wore boots with the leggings but forgot ot take my pictures until after they were off.

12/16 top is one I ordered on Amazon and it's definitely a knockoff and not a real thing and the seams are bad. It's also the wrong size. But I just kept it. I wasn't dealing with shipping it back.

 I was cold so I wore the scarf.  Funny no picture on Christmas. I'm pretty sure I didn't even get dressed.

Got into the leggings trend and I sure wear them a lot! I need more!

Which outfit is your favorite?

2.2 - Alcatraz

Boots: DSW, Jeans: JCP, Sweater: Express, Scarf, NY&Co, Earrings: Target, 

Jacket: Armani Exchange, Purse: JCP 

We decided to drive to San Francisco instead of taking the train because the timing would have been off.  We ate at the Eagle Cafe for breakfast. That place is good.

Then we headed to Alcatraz. It was all the same as last time but the weather was better this time. I got a lot better pictures outside.  Also this time my phone has a panoramic feature so I could take some cool shots.

We went back to Pier 39 to take some pictures of the Sea Lions.  We headed right home after. Dave had wanted to go to Boudin's. I thought we'd go to the Golden Gate Bridge for some nice pictures but we didn't.

At home we watched Property Brothers. We hung out. We got Boudin's. They were out of their normal sourdough. How does a place that is famous for bread always run out of loaves of bread?

We had some birthday cake for Brie.  It wasn't just 1 cake but 4 cakes. I bought 4 different kinds of the 1 piece containers. The 1 piece containers would be a huge piece. We cut up each piece and still had leftovers.

Our meals were all at weird times so we had a really late dinner.  We had hot dogs and salad.

Before bed Poly had a little photo shoot.

I wanted to wake up and run my long run. Instead I slept until noon. Dave attempted to get me out of bed a few times but staying up until 6am really made me want to sleep in.  Dave cooked himself breakfast. I heard him cooking but went back to sleep.

We watched some TV. We had chicken nuggets for lunch. We made an entire bag. I ate 18. I said I had to eat them in increments of 6 because that was a serving.

We took a test bike ride to the Steven's Creek trail. This is where I get on with Hilary when we run. It makes it so he'd be on the trail longer when going to work and that his trip would be longer but that the trip would be nicer than going to Evelyn. Dave timed how long it took so he didn't stop his timer at red lights. We missed a turn on the way but turned around shortly after. It took 20 minutes to get there and 10 minutes to get home. Dave went a lot faster on the way back that I ended up way behind him. He also made the light crossing Mathilda and I did not. I took out my phone and got a nice picture of the shadow of the bike while I waited though. Too bad you can tell I'm standing. Maybe someday I'll manage to get a cool picture.

I used the computer for a bit and knew I wanted to run. After I crawled in bed for a bit, I finally went for a run and got 3 miles in just before dark.

We went to Outback for dinner.  The waitress talked to us so much, I couldn't handle it. She was so nice about everything too; I just didn't want all the interaction. We ordered their Aussie Cheese fries and she said she'd put in 2 half orders at the happy hour price. She claimed it was cheaper. I questioned this but didn't look at the menu. I was going by memory but thought it was the same or close. She said it was 50 cents or a dollar cheaper to do 2 half orders so I caved and said OK. After she left, I got up and found a menu. The half order was $4 and the full order was $7.99. Looks like I was right. I didn't even look at the menu when we were there because I knew what I wanted so I was going by memory from a few months ago when I had looked at a menu.  The fries came on 2 plates and I feel like it was actually less than 1 whole order would be but Dave says it's not.  I took a few bites of Dave's baked potato. I also had Baked Potato soup.

After we got home, I watched TV in bed on my laptop and Dave read on the couch in the living room. I watched the 2 episodes I missed of Pretty Little Liars. I watched on Hulu and get annoyed with their commercials. I just played Donut Popping during the commercials and a little during the show.  When I watched all the episodes back to back in a week's time, I feel like the shows are better.  Once Dave came to bed I watched 2 episodes of 18 to Life and fell asleep.

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.

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.

Sweater & Pants: Express
Shoes: Famous Footwear
Necklace: Gifted from my brother (I finally wore my snake necklace!)

I worked far too many hours. Then I went to a 2 hour meeting for NA-YGN planning.  Then I ran on the treadmill after. (I couldn't find my headphones in my gym bag so I had to run without them and that sucked.)  I ran 2.5 miles with a pace of 8:52. I switched up what I normally do on the treadmill. I ran .5 warm-up then stretched (normal), but then I started at 6.0 and each minute moved the treadmill up .2mph.  I got up to 7.4 and then went back down. Once I was back at 6.0 I ran at 7.2 until the next .25 break then ran at 6.6 until I was done.  I then lifted weights.
I came home, and watched some TV.  I went into bed the latest of the previous few nights. I stayed up until 10pm.

I only took 1 picture the entire day of Poly!
