So I survived the run in the heat and humidity last night. Took a selfie right after I finished.
It was so hot and the majority of the course was in the sun. I walked a lot and finished around 39 minutes. Not too bad for the conditions.
I called in late to work. I've had a headache for 3 days and I think the heat and running made it worse. I took some Excedrin Migraine and went back to sleep, but only slept an extra hour So I'm just chilling in bed for a bit before I decide to get up and get ready to go in.
Concert was great last night except he didn't play my favorite song! Boo!! (Come over)
I'm on vacation now until Monday!! Yay!! First road trip in my new car I'm so excited!! We're going to the water park. Brett michaels is playing there Saturday night and it's only $8 more to go to the concert if you're already at the park. My son doesn't want to go! Would it be wrong for me to drag him to the concert? (He's 10)
I am insanely busy at work today, almost back to back meetings starting at 9:30 and even double booked a couple of times. I am rocking 3rd day hair after two very sweaty workouts which is kind of gross, but it still smells good and looks decent, so I don't really care.
I got a bra and panty set in last night that I was hoping to wear for my pictures and I hate it. I have a gorgeous long lace swimsuit cover-up I wanted to wear. pantsoffdanceoff and I are going to a sephora VIB event on Sunday and she is going to go with me to Macys to see if I can find something else I love. I have a green swimsuit I love, but my photog said they don't photograph well, and I agree I have no boobs and it doesn't give me cleavage, but I feel good in it. I ordered one of those silicone bras that is supposed to help with cleavage to see if I can wear that under the suit to help. Hopefully between that and the Macy's shopping I will have an option I love and feel good in. If not I am saying fuck it and wearing crocheted shorts and a harry potter tank top as my 3rd outfit. Sorry for the lengthy post, but they are a lot of money and the photog is coming in from Dallas for the pics, so it's a once in a blue moon opportunity that I want to love the pics from.

Serious question, not snarky, but what will you do with these pictures? They're of just you, right? Or is it a group of friends? Are they for a portfolio of some kind or will you frame them and put them up in your house?
No offense taken, I know its not everyones cup of tea. Two friends are doing them as well, but we won't take any pictures together. I have one on canvas in my bedroom from my last shoot about 2 years ago. When I moved from Dallas and still had a bf there I framed his favorite one and give it to him since I wouldn't be around much. Several of them don't show as much skin or can be cropped and have rotated around as fb profile pictures. There is one from my last shoot that I am reading a Harry Potter book and its one of the pics in my dating profiles. I will likely have my favorite one from this shoot put on canvas in my bedroom. The one in my bedroom is a great confidence booster when I am having a bad day. The photo shoot itself is a HUGE confidence boost as well because she takes amazing pics that require almost no photoshop and shows you them on the back of the camera and it's great to be like whoa that's me!! They aren't over the top risque or anything. I can post the link to them on my photogs blog for a bit if anyone wants to see them. The ones I did 2 years ago were after I lost about 45 lbs, so it was a celebration. I wouldn't have done them this time except the idea of having pics with a gorgeous sunset over the ocean (one of my favorite places) is special to me. I will likely only do them again when I hit my goal weight as a celebration and those will likely show more skin.
I feel sick over the Sam Dubose shooting. It makes me sad more people aren't saying anything about it or don't know about it. It makes me even sadder that some of those who are talking about it are all "he should have obeyed." The DA said Dubose did nothing wrong. The DA has indicted the cop for murder. Can't we just agree what happened was bad?

It went from happening to an indictment so fast that I don't think people got as riled up. What happened should not have happened, Dubose should still be alive. The officer went from issuing a citation to "I need to use deadly force" so fast that it's scary. Many people here in town remember the riots 14 years ago, so there was a lot of tension before the press conference.
It will be very interesting to see what the University does and how the Community responds. So far it's been peaceful (Thank God). But there does need to be a broader discussion in terms of how this situation (and all of the others like it) are handled by investigators, administrations, and the community.

There's a guy who sit next to me at work who insists on clipping his nails at work {vomit}. It's so revolting! I need to come up with a snarky anonymous note to leave on his desk.

WHAT?!
I was on the city bus once, and this guy put his foot up on the seat in front of him and started clipping his toe nails! I was mortified!
Nice job sweetchix. Are you dehydrated? I feel like when it's that hot and I run I never end up drinking enough.
I'm going to see the doctor about my wrist today. My icing, meds, brace home remedies don't seem to be helping. I'm hoping it really is just tendonitis.

I don't seem to be. I drank a lot of water throughout the day yesterday, and carried a bottle with me. Stopped at both water stops and then had a bottle afterwards. But yikes!!! It was hot!!! Fortunately I didn't see anyone who was affected by the heat.

So, I had a hearing today. Hearing ended and I am waiting for the elevator with the Plaintiff. Suddenly, another attorney comes over to me, touches my arm and says "Nice legs, by the way." then walks off. The elevator dings and I am all...Wait...what? Looking between him (walking away) and the elevator. On the one hand, Thanks! On the other, ewwwww! This is a courthouse, not a bar. That is so unprofessional!
So, I feel gross, and flattered, and then gross that I feel flattered.

God I hope my Saturday tinder date is 6' ... I don't want to ask bc it's super shallow but we're 'clicking' and it would be such a blow if I he was under 6'
That said, I'm skipping my heeled boots and going for flats ... Prep for the worst and hope for the best

Getting my hair done tonight. It needs its; the gray is creeping in!
Had to reactivate my okc account last night because I am an idiot. I sent someone a list of places to check out in Bangalore and forgot to save the wall of text on my computer. I really need to start a travel info file for all my stuff! Noticed that FWB deactivated his account.
Trying to get the house in some type of order before chaos descends upon it saturday morning.
I received a really nice compliment from a client today. She said my boss was really lucky to have me because I "get it" and have the ability to calm people down and make them feel better when they are possibly at their worst. I didn't think it was appropriate for me to tell her that I was going to be on vacation for the next 11 days!
I got home from my business trip and divorce papers were on the bed. Yay :/
He filed without me. I wish he had waited so we could do it together.
Why?
Why did he file, or why did I want him to wait?
I wanted him to wait so we could do mediation, not so that he could go pay money to a lawyer before we even decide anything. It was supposed to be amicable. He went ahead and filed because I think he wanted to get it out of the way. He also started fixing stuff around the house, like painting and putting in new fixtures. I know he wants to sell the house (there realtor paperwork on the table), but it's very frustrating that he's FINALLY doing all the things I've been asking him to do for years. Maybe he wants out as much as I do?
