Paying the Price

This weekend was pretty much all about running and food.  Yesterday was my longest run of my short running career (9.1 miles) which I decided gave me license to eat everything in sight.  This morning I am paying the price by feeling bloated and nauseous.  Or maybe it was the bottle of wine I drank.  Anyway, this week it is time to dust off the discipline and get my act together.

This Ape's For You

I have been at work for so long I don't know what day it is. So I've invented a new day, called wear your favorite colors when you were 7. In my case those colors were lavender and green. While green remains a favorite, I have eschewed lavender for most of my adult life. Until, that is, this past Sunday when I saw this shirt on the rack at Goodwill and fell deeply in love. It is a good thing I live in Connecticut where woman/shirt love is legal.

I never could get the hang of Thursdays

A belated happy towel day to everyone. Also a belated thanks to everyone who commented yesterday - I should threaten to cut up designer dresses more often :) Seriously I do appreciate the input and comments.

This morning was one of those mornings where I just did not know what to wear. Nothing felt right so I went with the classic blouse and pencil skirt combo. Work appropriate and comfortable although a tad boring.
