What's the Point??

This weekend was pretty much perfect as a last hoorah before getting back into the swing of things. 

On Saturday, after not one, but two rounds of Shaun T's new DVD T25, boyfriend and I headed down to his mom's house to clean out his old room. We played with his grandma's mini horse for a couple of minutes before we got started. Yes. You know you're dating a country boy when there's a horse mowing the lawn.


It was surprisingly fun going through his room and finding love letters from old high school girlfriends an his journals that he used to write in. I also found his old glasses. I put them on and instantly looked 79-years-old. Finally, I look my age.


I also found some incredibly heavy weights and got in another good workout....


Can you even see them?? After we finished there, we went to Art's Alive because it was the first Saturday of the month and that's what we always do. We met my sister and the babes for Indian food and belly dancing again. I finished the night knitting with my BFF at her house.


This morning, I thought I was being clever and packed my stuff for my long run so I could go straight to my dad's.


Turns out, I brought the wrong pants. Long pants in 60 degree weather? No thanks. I also forgot socks. I obviously deserve the runner of the year award. Luckily I had a delicious brunch to make me forget about running for awhile.


When I finally got the correct gear for my run and drove to my dad's, it was already almost 4. I was chasing the sun the entire time. I made it 8 miles before getting on the treadmill because it was getting too dark for me to be out alone.


During my 8 miles, I was honked at 7 times, twice by the same driver that passed by me again. Please tell me what the point of honking at a runner is besides to scare the crap out of them? I was incredibly close to flipping the driver that honked twice off. But, I'm trying to get a professional job, which means I need to be professional all of the time. I finished my run with 4 much slower miles on the 'mill.


I'm also a little obsessed with my new thick headband that I bought at TJ Maxx.


I helped Dad cook dinner by taking sneaky photos of him.


He made us the most delicious comfort food.


I followed it up, of course, with my bowl of whipped cream.


Now I'm going to settle in and watch some Scandal before heading to sleep to get a good night's rest before school tomorrow.

How was your weekend?

  1. When people honk it scares the crap out of me too! Luckily I don't get honked at much. My weekend was a little blah. I suppose it is my own fault! I'm looking forward to getting back in the swing of things this week.

    1. It's always nice to get back into the swing of things after some time off. It makes me appreciate the days I don't have anything I HAVE to do.

    1. Good luck with Insanity! You will do great! I started Insanity and did it every day for the first month with my ex. Then we stopped for the rest week and he got injured, so I've never actually completed it.

  4. Mmm whipped cream...

    Okay, honkers drive me NUTS. Sometimes I want to honk because I'm thinking GO RUNNER GO YOU ROCK WOOOO!! but in a car, I know all honks sound the same, so mine will sound like YEAH LADY UH UH I'M CHECKING YOU OUT! Ew.

    But yeah I feel you on flipping the bird. I just know one day I'll do it and it'll be a student's parent or brother or something!

    1. Um. Tell me about the whipped cream. I have an obsession! :-D

      I feel ya on the wanting to honk at runners, but I know how much I hate it, so I stop myself. But I give them a mental high five!

      And my luck, it would definitely be a student's family member.

  5. Is it bad that I sorta like the honkers? Little reminder that I look good doesn't hurt the ego ;)

    1. If they didn't scare me so badly, I'd enjoy them a little bit too. You're right, if someone thinks I look good while running, I wonder how good they'd think I look when I'm not sweating profusely and breathing with my mouth open.

  6. That does not even look like you in the glasses! :0 It would be super fun to go through all of your man's high school things. ;)

    That food looks amazing. I love comfort food. :)

    Okay, what is up with honking??? If it's a friend I get pumped.....when it's a creepy guy he gets the old eye roll.

    Great job on the run!

    1. Those glasses are horrendous! I think he kept them for some reason. I would have put them straight into the trash.

      Thanks for the compliment on the run!!
