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 😛

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?

Finisher!

Since I ran 2 half marathons in less than a month can I just say I ran a full marathon?

I’ll give a real recap later, but just wanted to share it was a tough run. I’m not making excuses, but being run down and dog tired the past 3 weeks affected my run for sure.

After a stellar first half of the race, mile 8 was full of frustration. I got some tree debris in my eye, I had to stop to pee and I walked for a minute or two to collect myself/calm myself down from being pissed about everything.

My tummy was hating me this run and on top of being tired I was extremely frustrated. I spent the last quarter of the race wishing it was over (I hated feeling that way).

I ran as hard as I could the last 4 miles without puking, crying, bleeding or pooping. All while being mad that I started the race with under 9 minute miles for the first 4.

My official race time isn’t posted yet. According to my nike+ sensor which I paused when I went to use a port-a-potty it had me at 2:16:53. I’m going to put my chip time closer to 2:19:00.

I’m disappointed in my time, but still proud of myself and my medal!

Week 3 Outfits.

I LOVE my Monday jacket. It’s so fun. I’ve had it for 2 years and I remember when I couldn’t even zip it. It fits well – even with room to spare. The collar is my favorite part, but I don’t wear it up unless I’m out and being silly!

My YELLOW jacket. I got this for my birthday in August 2009. I loved it as soon as I saw it, however picking the right size was troublesome. The “Large” was too small and my ego couldn’t handle buying an “1X” which was a little big on me. I ended up finding a “XL” and bought it which fit perfectly. It’s crazy to think how I’m now SWIMMING in this jacket. I actually hope to find a tailor and have it taken it because I love it and have only worn it a handful of times.

Today I went for a fun black and white look. I again remember buying this shirt when it couldn’t even button and I’d wear it open.

I really enjoyed having an excuse to dress up these past 3 weeks and wear tons of clothes than I had never/rarely worn!

**Special post coming later this afternoon**

My drag name for my halloween costume is…Ikea Wonderland

I was trying out my outfit and playing with some makeup last night and it hit me that my drag name should be IKEA – since it’s colors are blue and yellow and that’s what I wearing. I also have some of the reuseable bags from Ikea that say IKEA on the straps and I’m going to make wrist cufffs and maybe a choker out of them.

I went with Wonderland as a last name because it’s playful and because the dress is kinda of “Alice in Wonderland”-esque.

I’m too freaking excited!

Also this means I really need to show my REAL face on here soon if I’m going to share my drag makeup with you guys. EEEK.
