I ran 1 incredibly hot mile last night after work in 95 degree heat. It might have been a really dumb idea…but it felt good to move and sweat. I also did the Jillian 30 day shred. I was sweating profusely after that was over. So that’s gross.
At 10am it is already in the mid 80′s–we’re looking at highs in the mid 90′s again. Hello Summer! So I wore dress shorts to work today. No shame in my game.
That’s Broyhill fountain on the UNL campus. I went to the union to buy stamps this morning and had to talk myself out of just sitting there with my feet in the water. Maybe this afternoon?
Man Friend and I might hit up a College World Series game this weekend. He’s checking into tickets at work today. The CWS has been in Omaha for more than 50 years, but I’ve never been to a game. I’m not a huge baseball fan…as I’ve only ever been to 2 games in my entire life. But he enjoys it, so I said I would go.
I have a massage after work today! I had forgotten I had scheduled that, so I’m pretty excited. Should just be a nice and relaxing time.
My running shorts tan line is coming along quite nicely. You can probably see it in the photo above. So sexy.
First of all, thanks for all the sweet comments on my post this weekend about that dress I wore to the wedding! $80 at Marshalls…so it’s making another appearance at a wedding in 2 weeks because I’m not made of money!! Sheesh. I had a very interesting and confusing weekend:
Fitness stuff first: I’m down 5 pounds. I’d like to lose another 5. I think it’s doable. Running and Jillian’s 30 day shred seem to be a good balance for me. I’m in a pretty good place. I still don’t know if I want to sign up for the Omaha Half Marathon. When I can’t seem to pull the trigger on races I find that it always is for a reason..which is usually revealed to me later. We shall see.
The wedding I went to was the BEST. The bride is Argentinian by birth and her mother is a part time dance instructor. The bride and groom did an Argentine Tango for their First Dance. That dance was EVERYTHING. Forget swaying to some soft rock love song. They slayed the dance floor. And she even changed to a special dress, and then back again to her bridal gown after the dance. AMAZING.
Want a love life update? Let’s put that after the break again!
Friday night date with the Man friend was good. I’m confused because I’ve never felt this level of comfort with ANY other guy I’ve ever dated before. And that’s saying something. I’m confused because it seems too easy. It’s not that he seems too good to be true, because neither of us are hiding our true selves here. He is honest about who he is, and so am I. Like he knows about my weight loss and stuff that I generally don’t tell someone for a long time into a relationship kind of honest here. But that this thing between us just seems so effortless and I just don’t know what to do with that.
He’s making so much room in his life for me; I told him I didn’t know how he could function without a clock in his living room/kitchen area and he didn’t have the microwave clock set. 2 days later he had to show me that he set it!
We spent most of Sunday together, brunching, doing errands, and enjoying the lake. He has Satellite radio in his car, and while we were driving to the lake he gave me control of the stations. In fact, he gave me my own presets on his radio!!! He said I could have 6 of them for any stations I wanted. And if that wasn’t enough, there were 6 more. I feel like that’s a pretty big deal for a man.
He offered to take my dress to the dry cleaners with his clothes that needed to be dropped off. I forgot to give it to him on Sunday, but still! How sweet is that??
Have you seen this quote:
This is what I kind of feel like is happening. It’s not work. It’s not hard. It’s this easy intimacy with him. And I like it. I like him. Why am I trying to fight it? I’m taking things day by day and we’ll go from there.
Happy Friday Friends!
Let’s Chat!
My organization was audited this week. It went well, so my boss said yesterday that we’re leaving at noon today! I love my job!
Day 18 of the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. It is getting easier. I have noticed some sweet definition my quads and I’m down 4 pounds. Hooray!
Want a Love life update? I’m putting it below the break!
I told the man that I’m seeing that I am a creature of routine (he said he noticed) and that I like my space (he said he noticed that too). I say I’m an introverted extrovert…and the introvert part of me just needs my space at least a few nights a week. He understood, but says he just enjoys spending time with me. I just need him to slow down.
So I love Jr. Mints. I have a problem. It’s fine. On our second date last week, my man friend showed up with the above bag full of Jr. Mints! How adorable is that?! (side note, he’s not the first guy to bring me those…in fact, he’s the 4th guy to do so! Maybe I talk about them too much???) He said he had to bring me 10 boxes to out-do the other guys!
I bought a new kitchen table the other day. I really liked the sun streaming in through the kitchen windows on it.
