Stuff and things

Monday OOTD. I like living on the edge and wore a short dress when it was windy out. That was exciting!

This weekend was busy and I developed a cold. Boo. But I volunteered for the Alzheimer’s gala dinner as a cocktail waitress Saturday night with friends from the ocho. I had a blast. My friend Rob and I do that pose whenever we’re at an event. It’s our nod to how some friends of ours pose when they take pictures together. That’s our best one yet!

Life is chugging along. I’m still working on the health issue from last week (ugh! Day 32!) But my fingers are crossed it fixes itself soon. I finally got the ok to run…and that sucked! I’m hopeful that it was just a fluke and because I’m sick. Not that I’m terrible at running. Sigh.

Have a good week friends!

Here’s something fun

Type your first name into tumblr’s handy dandy GIF search and select a gem for the viewers at home.

I’ll kick it off:

For some reason, lots of Beyoncé gifs under my name. This is, by far, my favorite.

Sassy. Just like me.

Sometimes, the internet is a beautiful place that brings the most wonderful people into your life.

One of those people is @running-matt
He is one of my favorite people on this planet. And someone that I genuinely adore.

My roomie texted me that I had gotten flowers, but who could the be from?! I spent the afternoon wondering and when I finally got home to open the box I discovered a dozen red roses and found the card from Matt.

You guys. He’s the best. Matt…I just love you. Thank you for everything. For your friendship, the flowers, everything. I’m so glad to know you. Even if we’ve never actually met!

Despite not being allowed to exercise AT ALL until tomorrow at the earliest (what kind of birthday present is that?! On my birthday Wednesday I MIGHT get to run?? I NEED to. I’m going crazy!) I’m very pleased with this body. I’ve pretty much stayed the same in terms of weight but that’s ok. My health comes first. I ate a fair amount of red meat in the past few days. More than I usually eat. So the fact that this is what I look like on my last day of being 33? I’m definitely good with that!

Here’s to making good (food) choices!

Men, don’t read this post

You have been warned!!

I’m not one to talk much about girl problems on this space, but this one warrants a post.

Today marks day 25 of my period. 25 freaking days STRAIGHT. Something is not right. I’m in the seventh circle of hell.

The doctor is concerned that I’m anemic so I haven’t been allowed to exercise since Wednesday because every step and weight lifting move was such a struggle. I’m going in today to see what we can find out. Fingers crossed this ends soon. I can’t take it anymore!!

Friday Five!

1. Today is sheer perfection. I went to lunch with my friend and I had a really hard time coming back to work. Since we work downtown, we ate lunch on the patio. I’m a fan.

2. Also, can I take a minute to appreciate my mint shirt and my mint boat shoes?? Because, mint shoes are awesome. And the fact that they are boat shoes?? Even better!

3. My doctor has made me take the weekend off running and working out because he thinks that I’ve become anemic due to a health blip. Of course this would happen to me. It’s ok. We’re figuring it out and making adjustments and I should be fine soon.

4. My birthday is Wednesday. The big 3-4. How did I let THAT happen???!?!? I feel like at this age I should be more of an adult. Not sure I’m there yet.

5. Dating. That’s fun! Things are happening in that area…I’m currently seeing the Firefighter (HOT), there is a guy that I was set-up with, another guy, AND the nice guy from Omaha wants back in the picture. He’s 29 and told me that I’m “not like other girls!” I wanted to tell him that was because I was not a girl, but a woman. And in this case (dating) it makes a difference. How am I dating 4 different guys???!!! What is my life?? I’m tired. #AdventuresWithMelissa

6. Bonus one: I found out how much I’m getting back on my taxes (hint: it’s A LOT!!!) I’m going to pay off my credit card and put a huge amount in savings. I want to take a trip somewhere warm next January or February. This would cover that….and then some! 😉

Have a fantastic Friday friends!!
