Whoops!

I went Christmas shopping today. Correction. I attempted to go Christmas shopping today. Apparently, someone needs to remind me that this season is about giving gifts to others, not myself. Because I bought myself 3 new sweaters, 2 new pairs of tights a new bra, and some warmer running socks. In my defense, I did buy one Christmas present for one of my friends. So there’s that.

However, I went to Loft. I am addicted to this store. Seriously. I love love love it. They were having a sale. 30% off your purchase. If you spent over $100 then you got 40% off. I also had a card that gave me $25 bucks off if I spent $50. And I signed up for their credit card, which gave me 15% off on top of that. Because, let’s be honest, I shop there a lot and I can use the rewards you get. So my total before discounts was $248. I was freaking out inside! I hoped I had done the mental math right! Grand total with all my discounts? $90. For 3 sweaters, 2 pairs of tights and a Christmas present. Not too shabby. I saved nearly $160!! I call that good shopping. Sorry I’m not sorry. I need new clothes too. My winter clothes from last year are too big.

Tomorrow is the Big Nebraska Tumblr Meetup! I’m super excited to get to meet LindsayDoesLife and CupcakesandChaucer!

Winter hit Nebraska today. It snowed about 4 inches I would guess. Our Holiday 5k course is in a park on the cross country trail. I had planned on getting new running shoes either this month or next, before I started training for the Lincoln Half-Marathon in May, but I think I’m going to need the new shoes sooner rather than later!

Temps are expected to be around 30 when we run. I don’t usually do cold weather running, so this could be exciting!

For now, I’m going to enjoy a little football and relax before the big run!

Have a great night friends!
