Oh hi friends!

• Conversations with two-o-nine this morning. Clearly it has taken me awhile to get work things done so I can churn out a post. Sorry about that. I have been MIA…life gets busy and then somethings gives. I appreciate good friends like Brooke who remind me that ya’ll still care! 🙂
• This little joke was really popular this weekend. It had hundreds of reblogs and gained me a few new followers. Welcome friends! I’m Melissa. I write about running, the dumb things I do on a daily basis, and my life. It’s all here. Welcome aboard! 
• My 4 day weekend was pretty great; I hit the outlets and snagged that snazzy little number I’m wearing for $9 at Banana Republic (regularly $50!) Fun fact: I love stripes. Even horizontal ones (which I NEVER would have worn before I lost the weight!)
• And then I went to the motherland: Kate Spade. With a 60% off and another 20% off I got my beautiful new lover there for $104 (regularly $325!) She’s just so pretty!
• I got my hair cut Thursday night. She cut 3 inches off, and in a case of #tallgirlproblems I had to stand up so that she could cut my hair. I’m too tall, she’s too short, and my hair was too long. She pumped the chair up as high as it could go, but it just wouldn’t work. Le Sigh. It feels so much healthier though. I’m a fan.
• Wednesday night my boyfriend and I made our relationship Facebook official. It’s not something that I usually do, but he was the one who initiated it and I didn’t mind. Well, people on both sides FREAKED OUT. It had a bunch of likes and comments and then we both got text messages and phone calls wanting info! I didn’t know people cared THAT much about my love life!
• OH YEAH, YOU GUYS. He also scored some MAJOR points this past weekend; he was at a bachelor party Thursday night when he texted me and said this: “No joke, you’re the best thing that’s happened to me.” My cold, dead heart melted. A lot. <<Insert Heart Eyes Emoji Here>> I told him I felt the same way. 
• We plan to go running together after work tonight, barring any thunderstorms. I’m kind of excited. 

Are you still reading this? Then High Fives for you!
Have a great week friends!
