Halloween 2011

imagetheroadtoslimcity replied to your photoset: Apparently I didn’t take too many pictures this…

#1) next year, I’m coming with you. Its not an option, I’ll just be there on your doorstep on Halloween, k? great. #2) I want that dress. with the belt. now. thanks. 3) You look freakin fantastic!!!!

Ummm, YES and YES to #1.

#2. Got the dress and belt (and shoes) at the consignment store that I’m obsessed with. Dress was like $12, belt was like $5 and shoes were $6. The most expensive part of my outfit was my makeup and eyelashes!

#3. Thanks love!

I actually am having a Halloween 2011 dilemma. The Dublin Marathon is next Halloween, HOWEVER an annual work conference (which I leave for on Friday that’s in St. Louis) will be in NEW ORLEANS OVER HALLOWEEN next year! NOLA was so crazy and I really want to rip it up next year for real. PLUS work would be paying for the hotel. Perhaps Dublin 2012 since I’m 100% gonna run a full marathon in March – training starts soon (but I’ll post on that later).

Apparently I didn’t take too many pictures this weekend. Luckily my friend Melissa who is a photogragher for the university took a TON, but she hasn’t uploaded them yet.

Here are some of my Ikea Wonderland drag queen pics (for my new followers – hi! Please don’t be scared. Despite being a girl, I wanted to have fun with makeup).  How FREAKIN fabulous and fierce am I? I could have gone even more overboard. It’s funny how when you’re home you’re like OMG this is too much and then you go out and you’re like damn I could have amped it up even more. Regardless I had so much fun playing dress up. I really may do my eye makeup like this for New Years!

Funny thing about Saturday night. I only had ONE drink. So even though I captioned the last picture “I got Bourbon-faced on Shit Street” I did not. PLENTY of people did. I was just so damn tired from my race that I was afraid alcohol was going to either put me to sleep or put me in a bad mood. Plus after running 13.1 miles I really didn’t want to drink empty calories (who am I?). It’s interesting how alcohol has quickly become less and less important to me these days. Maybe it’s because I have enough confidence to be fun without it, plus exercise endorphins are my favorite drug these days 😛

iChat

I was just messaging with Smaller-N-Smaller and I brought up iChatting with her. I was curious how many of you are (the far superior) Mac users and would be interested in iChatting?

I’ve group iChatted before with 4 others. Message me if you are interested and with your iChat name. Perhaps Wednesday evening? I’d say tonight, but I have a DATE – OH SNAP!

I don’t think I’ve listed off my tumblr crushes before – it’s interesting to see how things shake out from time to time. One thing I know for sure is that Mr 365 and SlimCity are ALWAYS there and they already know how much I love them. So this week my recommendation is going to LessThan260. She’s made AAAA-MAZING progress, looked beautiful in her Halloween costume and always posts such yummy food that I find myself trying to reach through the computer to try it! Follow her!

To echo Smaller-n-Smaller why don’t you guys live closer to me and seriously when can we all get together and hang out?

Hurts So Good

After work today I went and got a European Spa Pedicure, my feet and legs are in HEAVEN.

This weekend was redonk. I’m not even prepared to fully blog about it however 13.1 miles running + MILES and MILES of walking in New Orleans + wearing 6 inch heels around the uneven streets of NOLA a mere 10 hours after my half = SORE FEET

This could be the year.
This could be the moment
you’ve been waiting your whole life to show
the world the cards you’re holding.

It’s one life,
One dream,
One spark.
It’s one chance,
One move,
One shot.
It’s on you
Be cool,
Be real.

This could be the year.
This could be the moment
you’ve been waiting your whole life to show
the world the cards you’re holding.

It’s one life,
One wish,
One fire.
It’s one choice,
One voice,
Saying get higher.

This could be the year.
This could be the moment
you’ve been waiting your whole life to show
the world that you are ready.

Hold your head up high and touch the sky,
‘cause you know this is everything, everything.
Take your shot it’s all you’ve gotta be.

This could be the year.
This could be moment.
This could be the year, I know it.

2010 has been MY YEAR and I plan on owning 2011 and beyond as well!

My legs are looking freaking FIERCE let me tell you. I really think I’ll get to the point where my thighs don’t touch verrrry soon.
