Weekend of Nothing

On Friday I was feeling bloated, ugly and over it. I don't know what "it" was exactly, but I was over it. I had plans to see a Jennifer Coolidge comedy show with Yones and the boys that night at the Laughing Skull (Vortex Comedy Room) but I really just wanted to go home, get in my pajamas and go to sleep. Earlier in the day I asked Yones if he wanted to meet early for dinner at the Vortex, but on my way home I wasn't feeling it and cancelled. I managed to make it the Vortex for the show at 8pm but I was miserable the whole time. I mean, Jennifer Coolidge was funny - but I just couldn't get into it. I left right after the show.

On Saturday I didn't do anything except nap, run, eat, nap, read, sleep. Just like I wanted.

More of the same today except I went shopping. I got my Chicago Half Marathon outfit. This may sound stupid to you, but its a little tradition of mine. I always buy a new running outfit for a major run. Not because I want to look cute - but because by the time the major run comes around all my running clothes are either dirty or janky or too big. I could do laundry and I probably will, but a new outfit feels like a reward. I also think if you're running in something you feel good in, you get more jazzed about the run itself. I mean, who doesn't need some extra motivation to run 13.1 miles for no reason other than to say "I can"?

My outfit came from the Nike store. I can't wear their shoes, but I'm all over their clothes. Then I decided to treat myself to a work outfit from J. Crew. Good sales going on. Bought a pink skirt with a bow at the waist, a navy tee and a tissue heather gray tee. I think with my tortoise Weitzmans that I haven't worn in over a year, the navy tee and the pink skirt will look good.

Now I'm just relaxing. Ready to take on my week.

I hope you all had a great weekend.

Love,

Lola
