I Need More Weekend
Having a four day weekend was probably one of the better decisions I’ve made most recently. Aside from accomplishing not much at all, I did manage to stock my fridge and take about 20 naps. The fridge was most important though.
I obviously need to do a little bit of food shopping today as it seems beer is the only thing of which we have a good stock. No complaints here!
I made plans Sunday evening to meet Krissy Monday morning for an early run on Kelly Drive. I don’t know many other people who get up at 5:45am on Memorial Day, but we sure did!
No makeup, sporting my sweet Oakleys, and happy to be (mostly) awake. Mostly… I’m glad we made the early start because the run got real hot real fast. I couldn’t imagine doing it any later than we planned, because I’d have probably keeled over, scared the crepes out of Krissy, and thus ended the only Running of the Krissy(ie)s to ever take place. But, we did it! I had tons of fun chatting about random life stuff, marathons, blogging, and other things while on the run. This also kicked off my streak for the Runner’s World Run Streak (follow #RWRunStreak to join in or just spectate!). Here’s the run synopsis:
I decided to make it nice and pretty for you. Aren’t I creative? Don’t answer that. I wore my new New Balances and they felt amazing during the run. Krissy also sported bright shoes as well. I think it’s the trend of the year, so get on it, people! Brights are the way to go. Plus, eye bleeding colors on your feet make you feel happier, right? We had to do a post-run photo op, and luckily walking part of the KD loop prevented me from looking like a total tomato.
I seriously cannot wait for Krissy to visit again. Blog-friend meetups are so much fun, especially when exercise is involved (it makes it way easier, trust me). Driving home I felt pretty happy and accomplished. A blue bird could’ve landed on my shoulder. Well, at least until I got home and saw this.
Sigh. I don’t even get that mad about it anymore. Instead of complaining, I just drove around and parked out front. Our neighbors (that have done this multiple times themselves) are having their kitchen redone and the contractors still don’t seem to realize I PARK IN OUR GARAGE. I definitely won’t miss that when I move out.
In other news, I painted my nails. In spite of my low expectations, the fingers have yet to chip (emphasis on the yet).
I also still sort of had a mood slump by the end of the day. No fun. And that was my weekend. It still didn’t feel long enough as I needed the biggest cup of coffee the caf offered today.
Weekends should really be longer. Period. The end.

Yay Krissie Krissy Power!
I am so glad we were able to meet up and run! 
Maybe in the future you can come to OCMD and we can have a whole weekend of running and shenanigans.
Double the weekend. Negate all weekdays. DOWN WITH TAXES!
America.
LOL I love you.
I definitely do NOT miss running in this weather!
I really hope the latest weather doesn’t mean another long, overly hot summer. It’s great for the beach, but I am not a good morning runner at all.
Oh Yuengling. Sometimes I consider moving East just to have access to that shiz.
And I’m not much more sane that you. My friend and I were waking up at 7am over the weekend. Just because.
We so crazy. <3
I'd ship you lager if it could be guaranteed not to break!
I would write the meanest, bitchiest note ever and put it on that a-hole’s truck immediately.
Or just passive aggressively throw the stink eye at them, either way. F that!
I gave the chick that lives there a nasty glare, but telling them repeatedly hasn’t worked so I just give up. I’m out in two weeks-ish anyway.
annnnnnnnnnnnnd we grownups should get a summer vaycay which lasts 3 months!!
I second that!
I am wearing almost that exact shade of aqua nail polish — it’s so fun and summery! If you’re looking for a brand that doesn’t chip, I highly recommend China Glaze. I’ve had mine on since Friday and there isn’t a single chip!
So glad you had a great time with Krissy! Kelly Drive must have been lovely that early in the morning!
I adore Kelly Drive, it’s one of my favorite parts of the city.
Glad to hear you had a great run and fun with a new blogger friend!
I love your nail polish! That aqua color is so pretty!
It’s Essie Turquoise & Caicos. I saw a few people had it so I ordered it cheap off Amazon.
i got up at the ass crack of memorial day as well but not to exercise haha. i was a total slug that day because i was so jet lagged which always translates to: hey break of dawn let’s get up! :/ i feel much better today but man was a zombie yesterday at work. i’m glad i didn’t have to do some complicated technique or i would have bombed for sure lol.
hey at least your garage parker neighbors won’t be a problem in a few weeks! and i most certainly agree…weekends should be longer. i always say that i would love it if work weeks were 4 days instead of 5! i think it’s actually quite good for my productivity!
When I did my internships we could work 9 hours M-Th then do 4 hours on Fridays. I loved it and wish we could do that here. Sigh.
