Mommy sent me flowers yesterday! My lovely leasing office called me to let me know they were there and that I could request they be placed in my apartment for me. They are beautiful! (I’ll attach a pic.) White roses, spray roses, and lavender. What the heck a spray rose is, I have no idea, but I just looked up the description of the arrangement online (because I am silly and didn’t initially recognize the lavender for what it was) and that’s what it said.
Eating today has been awful, to say the least…. I will tell you all that the first thing I ate today was a bacon, egg and cheese bagel (had to get something filling in my tummy after last night’s outing) and that the last thing I ate was a carrot cake cupcake. And the only remotely healthy thing in between was asparagus. Which, by the way, I thought I hated for about 7 years, until I got a meal at a restaurant that came with “seasonal veggies” and out came asparagus. Much to my surprise, it was quite delicious!
LOVE the new heels by the way - especially the gray ones. I have a horrible shoe addiction myself. I adore heels! When I was younger I wore them so much (and the higher the better!) that it was actually painfull to wear flats or go barefoot. Then I sprained my ankle really badly one year and had no choice but to start wearing flats again. I'm trying to alternate heels and flats more so that I don't end up like I was a few years back.
I haven’t whipped out the gray ones yet… I wore the black ones for half a day on Monday, switched to flats to walk to lunch (in the snow) and never changed back. And I only have one or two pairs of pants that are long enough for them, gotta get to the tailor SOON. I’ve heard people saying that it hurts them to wear flats… I can’t imagine getting to that point in life! I live in flip-flops and the second I get home the shoes come off. What did you do when you were just lounging around the house???
Hey laura!!..have you tried to PX90 or Insanity .??.. ive always wanted to try out running but its pretty lame doing it by urself ..... Hope ur running goes well ... Keep it up=)I would love to read ur success .. everyday Take care..
Thanks for stopping in!! Why is it lame to run by yourself? Is it just hard to get yourself motivated to do it alone? I mostly run on the treadmill, don’t venture outside too much, but when I do I prefer being by myself. Mentally it’s much more challenging, though, that’s for sure! I haven’t done any of the PX90 or Insanity workouts. My goal soon needs to be to add different workouts in, because literally all I do for exercise is run, and it’s getting to the point where my arms are super tired during long runs. I asked for small weights for Christmas, hopefully Santa delivers!
No more school forever, huh?
That's gotta be the greatest Christmas present ever!
This has been the best week-before-Christmas I can ever remember!!!! No better gift than that huge weight off my shoulders. Go out til midnight on a Tuesday? Sure, why not, I got no other responsibilities to take care of!
WELL DONE LAURA!!! That's AWESOME news
I love the heels too, and you have made me determined to buy some when I reach my goal. I've found a great pair of boots (Dr Martens) with a heel that have me salivating

I have never worn heels ever though, so no doubt I'll end up walking about with my butt sticking out
Enjoy having your freedom back
A new pair of sexy shoes is the PERFECT reward for a job well done!! I can wear a small heel ok, but I think both of my new pairs are 3.5”, and I definitely walk a little funny in them! I’m really worried I’m going to be rushing through the kitchen at work and slip on the linoleum and take a dive! But if Monday was any indication, I won’t be rushing in them anytime soon, haha.
CONGRATS!!!! I am so happy for you! Way to go

. Enjoy it dearie
Thank you!!! I had no idea how excited I would be! I thought it had already hit me about a month ago and that I was as excited as I would get, but it didn’t truly hit me until a half hour before my final on Monday. Then I was just a big ball of excited, nervous energy!
BIG congrats on finishing up grad school!
No more school! No more books! No more teacher's dirty looks! YAY!!!!
This made me giggle a little when I read it on the train this morning! Thankfully I was an online student, so the teachers couldn’t see me
