Holy lipgloss

So to start my weekend recap I'll just say there was a slight interruption in the debt payoff plan. I've done very good at staying out of Target however I had a purse to return to the Coach outlet store. I hit the mother sale. So I took one purse to exchange and walked out with....3. So really only 2 because technically I had already paid for the one right? So not exactly planned purchases but it was a sale there was NO way I could pass up. It was a steal. I walked out feeling extremely happy and didn't really even have any buyer's remorse. So as I start emptying out my purse guess how many lipglosses I dig out....


Ten. 11 if you count the Dr. Pepper chapstick I found after taking this picture. Add that to the 5 I have in my desk drawer at work, 8 I have in my bathroom drawer, and I think it's safe to say I have a problem. Although subtract one chapstick that Jazzie found and devoured last night. I store chapsticks around the house like Jazzie hides her bones.

I've been wanting a dark brown purse for awhile and found this beauty. Also pictured is the new camera case and the scarf I bought for a black purse I already have. The scarf was $10. $10!

It looks grey-ish here but this is the black Brooke style with an awesome dark purple liner. I had been eyeing this style when it came out and liked it so much I contemplated paying full price until I talked myself out of that craziness.

And this pink tote here was on clearance and on sale on top of that. I've been wanting a good tote/carry-on bag. It may not look like it in the pic but it is pretty huge. I'll feel very Jessica Simpson-ish carrying this baby.

And the contents of my current purse upon emptying it out. I don't even know how that all fit in there. My running journal, pen, numerous hair bands and clips, 11 lipglosses/chapsticks, lotion, hair smoothing cream, tweezers, mascara, pill box with numerous pills, RX pills, calculator, mirror, cell phone, Colgate mini toothbrushes (never have tried but one day I'll be glad I have em, gave one to a co-worker one day after lunch before his dentist appt.), keys, eyeglass case which held a lot of lipgloss, 2 mini bottles perfume, passport holder which holds everything but my passport, and my wallet. My camera and case isn't even pictured.


I had taken a 1/2 day off on Friday (which I hardly ever do, I recently told my boss I know I found a job I enjoy when I carry over PV days) to drive to the outlet so I didn't have to deal with the weekend crowd. When I got back into town I went to Barnes and Noble and read some mags in the cafe. I haven't done that in forever. It was nice. Came home and cleaned then ordered pizza. Went to the store (Gerbes, which is Krogers in Bloomington) and found a cashier named Shyla. Random. Remembered why at one time I loathed Pizza Hut when I ordered for carry out. Showed up 30 mins later like they said to. Stand there for 20 mins. while being told "it's almost done." Only to then have some guy come out of the back and say they were just now putting the pizza in the oven. Um, seriously did you just tell me they were just putting it in the oven? I was not a happy camper. But he promised me it'd be done in 8 mins. and gave me some free pizza so all in all it was just inconvenient. Went home and watched Real Housewives of the OC.


Saturday worked for awhile. Against my better judgement decided to run to the mall to go to Victoria's Secret to stock up on my favorite lotion (Candy, baby is the bomb although I went a little crazy and got a bottle of Plumdrop too) while on sale. I really don't enjoy going to the mall at all anymore and it gives me anxiety. Got my lotion, came home and watched a movie about running and read some running blogs. I love reading blogs but the problem is I get hooked on a person's blog then start checking out the other blogs they recommend and get lost in blog-world for hours. Talked myself into going for a run outside this morning since it wasn't too cold. Managed to go 3.5 miles and felt pretty good. It took me 3 minutes longer than my normal time but since I've been off for almost 2 months I figured it could've been worse. I went to record my run in my log book and decided to total my miles from July thru November last year. I started the log book in July and before that wrote my runs on my calendar. From July on I ran 179 miles. I roughly estimated my miles from March-June and I had been running more those months. Rough guess is I ran approximately 400 miles last year. My goal is to double that this year. Just for fun I figured I'd average a 10 min. mile x400 miles=4000 mins/60 mins an hour=over 66 hours of running. That's a bit crazy to think about.


I purchased the Nike+iPod system a few months ago and for something so simple for some reason I can't figure it out. (insert Shyla-moment joke here) So I've been eyeing this watch. It's bulky and more than I want to spend, but the thing does it all except give you a massage afterwards. I think it'd be pretty awesome.
