What is happening you must be thinking first post in month (yeah life is hectic and boring at the same time) and it is titled "so so sad".... Well it refers to my luck with Gilt purchased. First I found this really pretty and quite sexy bared back dress for my brother in law's wedding which was well 1/2 inch to small at the waist.. I mean come on you gonna be too small can you be at least 2 inch too small!
So after returning the dress on time yay! I waited for the couple weeks in took to have my credit available. I found this really pretty pair of Charles Jourdan shoes open toe interesting back and a big heel. But hey on the picture a 4" heel is well pretty. On my foot though it isn't. I guess a 4inch heel on a 9" foot just doesn't work that well. I have to say it was stretching some unknown muscle in my ankle but besides that it look quite ridiculous and quite frankly I could barely make it across the room.
I believe I will stick to the 3" and below heel!

Who am I kidding?
Today my dear B picked up my new triathlon wetsuit. Well second hand but new to me. I tried today and it is soooo tough to put on. I have no idea how I am going to take the darn thing off in a timely fashion if I am ever to compete.
The guy who sold it to us told me his wife didn't really like the cold water and being kicked! Just great.
I spent an hour watching clips on how to transitionned from swimming to biking and then some more clips about ironman. The latter is pure madness and I will say without shame I am NOT interested in doing one EVER! However I am secretly toying with the idea of a half ironman. I know it won't be for a long time since you need time to train for those things and time is hard to come by these days!
Today I did go swimming. I have to admit I don't know how many laps I did since my small brain has a real hard time keeping count. I would say probably around 1100 yards in 30 minutes.
On the girlie front I did receive my Frye flats and they are adorable. I am really happy to have chosen them over the boot. I know already that I will wear them a lot. Now I need to actually slap the return label on the box, fill out the return slip and send the boots back!
Tomorrow is running. Given the temperature at lunch I may go for a late afternoon run which is probably going to collide with B's evening run. I need to rework my work
out schedule a little.
I hope to get my new bike shoes before the end of the week so I can try them on this week end. I also absolutely have to learn how to do basic fixes on my bike... I'm still asking B to pump my tires Lame!
On the home front I have to confess that my laundry skills suck big big time!.
I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it... Do you think that if I repeat that sentence enough time it will magically get folded and put away on its own. Lets hope lets just hope.

So a week ago I finally decided to spend some of my "bonus" money to buy myself a pair of Camper's boot. The fact that they were on sale helped too. I was super excited but when I put them on I felt bleh. They are nice and all but I don't really wear skirt, I live in a place where it is hot most of the time. So I decided to return them. I saw a pair of cute flats a while back but of course my husband pointed out to me that I already have a bunch of flats thus it isn't a great choice.
On top of it he likes heels better. Unfortunately I am in a more down to earth kind of mood lately and I am trying to embrace my modern chic style as would put it Bunny and flats sound much more apealing then heels.
I am going to return the boots ;( and will hang on to the money until I find something really nice to spend it on. I suspect that I will buy that pair of FRYE flat I have been eyeing for a while or maybe something else.
My second purchase from that bonus money was a new pair of bike shoes, cleats and pedals. Since I'm a little on the cheap side I voted no for the 120$ pair of shoes and opted for the 85$ on sale for 35$. Those will stay with me though.
On the exercize front I have decided to get back to my 4 days a week routine and kicked it off by a short but somewhat intense (by my standard) bike ride. I felt my legs all sunday. Today I went for a 3 mile run at lunch which left me very very comatose all afternoon. I know it will get better I just know I have to do it more!
Tomorrow I go swimming, wednesday running then thursday swimming.
