Whaddup, Wednesday?
Hey all!
No "back when" pictures to post today. I know you were all holding your breath in anticipation. Sorry to disappoint. (I need a sarcastic font).
I won't talk about the debate last night since I don't chat politics on my blog. I was a Poli Sci major in college and lived in DC for four years so rest assured that I do truly care and love politics, but I also love all of you and don't want our differences to get in the way of a lovely friendship.
All I will say about last night, especially post-debate, is: who needs to watch talking heads debate about the debate when I could just scroll through my Facebook News Feed? That was some colorful commentary last night, so thank you for the entertainment!
Before I send you off to Rachel's Giveaway where yours truly is lending a hand (and a Target gift card), please check out the cleverness that is bindersfullofwomen.tumblr.com.
I'll leave you with this image and bid you a good day!

Weekend Update: I Watch a Lot of Sports
This weekend was pretty intense.
And by intense I mean that I watched a LOT of sports.
We watched the Steelers lose on Thursday amid incredibly exciting Nats and Tigers victories.
I still don't want to talk about the Nats loss on Friday night. I've never been that upset about a game.
Very few hours later we watched MSU lose.
Needless to say, after watching two frustrating losses so close to each other it was time for a break from sports for a little bit.
So we went to Nordstrom (more on that when my beautiful Frye boots arrive!!) and afterward to see Argo, which was an incredible and suspenseful movie. I am not exaggerating: I was on the edge of my seat the entire time! Go see it!!
Then we caught up on more amazing college football (Go Bucks!) and watched the Tigers almost lose in another intense game.
Then on Sunday we watched the Lions win in OT. Of course it went to overtime, right? Oy.
During the Lions game we held our breath while Felix broke the freefall record...it was the craziest thing I have ever seen.

And then we watched a tense Tigers victory!
Quick recap: game after crazy game after crazy game, a ridiculously intense movie, and a dude jumping from about 24 miles up in the air. Phew.
Thankfully the rest of Sunday we relaxed, went to Mass, I gave myself a mani/pedi, and wore sweatpants. Yay for low-key and cheap weekends!
I got the polish in my September Birchbox, so I thought I should give it a whirl. I love the shiny fall color and the polish seems really durable. I didn't think I would like it since it's not Essie or OPI, but this Color Club "Status Update" color is becoming a new favorite shade!
(P.S. I highly recommend subscribing to Birchbox. It's fun to get beauty samples every month!)
Even though we saw some of our teams lose the past couple of days, it was an awesome weekend overall. I'm very grateful we had the time to relax and watch so many games together!
How were your weekends? Any intense games? Did you watch Felix fall?

Happy Friday!
Hey everyone!
No Friday's Fancies post for me today. I'm too preoccupied with the upcoming game tonight!
Go Nats!!!!!
(I'm also very excited that the Tigers advanced and was not so excited that the Steelers lost again last night. Oh well.)
I would give anything to be in DC today.
Have a great weekend!

Little Bit of Sass Thursday!
Alright, gang.
It's almost the weekend.
I actually styled my hair today.
...and the Steelers are playing tonight.
Let's get sassy.

Way Back {When}sday
Way back in 2009 and 2010 I "competed" in a couple of races.
I just wanted to complete them and say I did them.
Complete them I did!
Sure it's cool to say I ran the Cherry Blossom 10-miler and competed in a Triathlon.
(OK fine I only did the sprint distance of the tri which isn't as impressive.)
However, I didn't really lose any weight, and I didn't train as hard as I could have.
But I still had fun.
I trained for the tri with one of my friends through the DC Triathlon Club. It was a really fun spring and summer! The 10-miler was also fun because my friend from grad school and I ran it side by side. Neither of us had run 10 miles before so we did it together, giving each other high fives at each mile marker and swearing together on the silly hill right before the finish line.
Now it's time to do it again.
As I mentioned on Monday, the marathoners inspired me.
No, I will NEVER run a marathon. I don't think my knees would let me.
Or my social life. Or my want/need to sleep in on Saturdays.
BUT yesterday I signed up for the Soldier Field 10-miler over Memorial Day weekend.
I also found an indoor pool in my neighborhood...meaning that once the registration opens for the Chicago Triathlon I will sign up for the sprint distance and start to run, bike, and swim again.
I'm excited.
I'm writing this in my blog to keep myself accountable for these goals I set for myself. I feel that if I put it in writing and you are all my witnesses then I can't back out. Besides, they aren't crazy goals. These races truly aren't that big of a deal. Look at those pictures above again: I am certainly not a poster child for fitness and strength and those pictures definitely aren't flattering. But if a girl like me with a big butt like mine can cross those finish lines once, I can certainly do it again. Bad knees or not.
For the record, post-race beer tastes better. Especially when you double-fist. Just sayin'.
