Hell Run is this Saturday morning. I bought an awesome pair of sneakers at Goodwill for it. (I needed another pair of shoes I could donate to the mudpile).
I went shopping at Joann Fabrics yesterday...spent $20.07 & saved $20.05. Love it when a plan works.
Shipped off packages for my friend Katie and my brother-in-law Jason. As soon as I hear from them I'll post pictures.
Cut out and bought everything I need for my niece, Sarah's, birthday present. Need to find the hours to sew. When thats finished I can send her present plus my sisters present together. Sorry, Michelle, yours has been completed and sitting in a box for weeks now.
My experiment with my brother Andre's present was not quite a full success. I'm going to have to make something else to include as a "sorry I apparently can't follow a tutorial right" present. :)
Planted the broken off stem from my angel wing plant. I poke at it every day to make sure its not dying a slow death in soil.
Unclogged my bathroom drain on the first Drano attempt.
Finally told my apartment manager I'm planning on leaving when my lease is up the end of November. Hoping to find a rental house with a backyard for Atticus. I'm not picky about house size, but I'm picky about location, the yard factor, and rent. So far, no luck. I can always re-sign a new lease November 30th, but I really don't want to stay here for another 6 months. Three years is long enough.
Started counting calories again. Realized one of the reasons I haven't lost weight - I either calorie starve myself or eat too many calories or any given day. Not purposefully of course, I just eat when I'm hungry. I also didn't realize how many calories I was actually losing at the gym and not replacing with actual food. Silly me.
Still drink way too much coffee.
Started doing a pilates class. Although its not listed as a strength class (its listed as cardio), its more of a strength class for me. Kinda like more intensive yoga. I always feel taller when I leave.
The weather here is turning to fall. Makes me sad. I love fall, but I hate the rain. It hasn't rained too much, but the rain we've had has been intensive. I forgot how much I hate driving in downpours.
I'm turning into a Trader Joes addict. I don't understand it. Other than their food is yummy and simple and caters to my lazy anti-cooking self.
Well, my dryer just dinged, and Atticus is staring at me through the screen door (he wants to take a walk), so I better wrap up my super thrilling update list.
Don't have any other relevant pictures other than....you guessed it...Atticus!!!!! (He was intensely focused on hunting a fly. It was hilarious. Every time he snapped at the fly on the back door he ran into the door himself. Ignore the bucket of car stuff...that needs to go to storage.)
How many legs does a dog have if you call the tail a leg? Four. Calling a tail a leg doesn't make it a leg.
