All Over the Place

CAUTION: This post is all over the place. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!

Thank you all so much for your sweet comments about Roo! I am so in love with her! If anyone out there is considering getting a dog, I highly recommend it.

I mean! 🙂

I may or may not have mentioned that my cousin is getting married in Seattle this spring . . .

After my whirlwind visit to see her last year, where this happened

I’m sooooo excited to go back in April to be in their wedding! I booked my hotel and flight yesterday, and I suddenly have an attack of wanting to be there right.now! Even thought we’ve never lived in the same city, I miss her all the time! Damn expensive plane tickets!

Anyway, luckily for me, Alison chose something a little classier than the denim romper for her bridesmaids. Not that I would have minded the denim romper or anything . . .

I had to do a gratuitous self-portrait when I got my dress in the mail for Ali’s approval. She approved!

It’s kind of hard to see, but the dress is a deep purple, and suuuuuper comfy. It literally feels like wearing pajamas! Bridesmaid win! It’s the SoCal Bungalow Dress on ModCloth if anyone’s interested . . . now I just have to figure out my shoe situation! Her colors are grey, green, and purple, so I have some choice. I like these, but they’re out in my size . . .

These are amazing, but a little pricey . . .

(or a lot pricey).

As are these . . .

Oh, Badgley. You and your beautiful shoes . . . *sigh*

Anyway, if anyone comes across some crazy on sale Badgley’s, feel free to steer me in their direction!

So, in the midst of chasing after this little nut job, who is living up to her name and jumping around like a crazy kanga-Roo all the time, I’ve managed to keep up with my marathon training, which seems to be going well.

I got my yoga and a 3 miler in on Sunday, an easy 7 on Monday, and spent some quality time with Jillian yesterday. And guess what? I actually enjoyed my strength training! After a couple weeks off, it felt good to push myself with some weight. Strangely enough, I felt like I was getting stronger while I did my workout, which was a huge motivator! Thanks, Jillian!

I also have to mention that I invented the best thing ever last night. OK, I probably didn’t invent it, but it’s new to me! I wanted something chocolatey, but not super heavy for dessert. I’ve been kind of obsessed with Chobani lately, so I decided to make a pudding/mousse out of some black cherry yogurt.

I just mixed in about a tablespoon of cocoa powder and a packet of stevia and called it dessert. Um, YUM.

So, yeah. You should probably do that. Like, NOW.

Alrighty, well if you hung in there this long, thanks so much! I promise I’ll organize my thoughts a little better in the near future! 😉
