Did you get your purple shirt from old navy? If so, I have the same one and it’s my favorite! I wish I could wear shorts. Instead I’m wearing jeans and a sweater cause it’s freezing!

Why yes, I did! I also have the exact same shirt in blue and in green. $8 for the win!

I wish I was good at picking out cute clothes, but I just stick to solid colors and basic styles most of the time. Easier on my brain. Easier on my wallet.

And I’d rather spend the money on running stuff anyway : )

Off to the D.O.(HEL)L. to renew my driver’s license. Yes, I got my first license when I was 19, for those who are counting. 

Bad news is I’ll probably be stuck there for a while. Good news is that this is the first time I’ve busted out non-running SHORTS so far this spring! Yayyy, Seattle!

Day off!

Smile Friday: Making the video edition. Not sure why I busted out this creepy half-smile. Watch out… I might try to Remeem your Soul!

I’m home today trying to get lots of stuff done before a busy weekend! I cleaned the heck outta this kitchen:

In preparation for friends coming over tomorrow night for a birthday dessert potluck and consumption of this:

Yes, I bought a case of $3 wine. Only the best for my friends!!

I actually really enjoy Charles Shaw and can’t wait to have a glass or five tomorrow. I haven’t had even a sip of alcohol since April 30, and I’ll be ready to celebrate after my race!

The beautiful flowers from my mom made it home from work:

They look so nice and cheerful on this sunny day!

I want you guys to know that I’m just tickled by all the nice comments, messages and ACS donations that are rolling in as I get ready to race tomorrow. Every little boost of confidence helps!

And yes, I’m bringing “tickled” back. Such a good word.

My third (and final… ….) cake pop of the day. My co-worker brought a bunch in to celebrate my upcoming birthday and some promotions in our department.

When people at work comment on how healthily I eat, I usually respond with, “I eat healthily most of the time so I can eat crappily some of the time.”

Welcome to some of the time!

Edit: As Aaron likes to say, my tummybox is broken (stomach ache). Live and learn. Every single bite was delicious, though!

DUDE. This dog is beating my fundraising total by $26 right now!

Bravo, Dozer. I’m not even upset. I get it… you’re way cuter than I am!
