Today is my roommate, Veronica’s birthday and as I simply LOVE birthdays (they’re only 2nd to Christmas) the above is what she woke up to! I bought her a manicure from a spa in Yorkville and new apple earphones as her current ones are on the verge of breaking.

Today seems to be moving in slow motion and I’m liking it.  I rose at 9am and headed out of the city to horse ride, where the weather was perfect and the smell of horses made me want to quit my job, move to Texas and work on a ranch. 

Once home I made myself a delicious, healthy lunch and got myself dolled up in anticipation of a BBQ I’m going to in about an hour, then Blink 182 and finally oot n’ aboot to some bar.

Happy Saturday!! BIG run tomorrow (13k!) Eeekk thus I won’t be consuming too much poison alcohol tonight.

Smile Friday Things that are simply awesome because they just are edition

• It’s Friday!!
• I feel like I’ve lost weight.  Stupid scale gods don’t reflect this, but I swear I have…
• I love my friends and am so happy each of them is in my life. Cue ‘ahhhh’ from audience.
• It’s my roommate’s 24th birthday tomorrow.  I am picking up her gift (mani and pedi package) tonight and bonus! I got one for myself too.  We’re also going to see Blink 182 tomorrow night… not sure how I feel about this… but it’s her birthday, so obvy I am going and obvy I’ll be the coolest, and by ‘coolest’ I mean ‘oldest’ person there.
• I’m getting new running shoes tonight.  I know I’ve said this for a while now, but my toes going numb has become unbearable and I fear I felt a slight pain in my shins, which knock-on-wood is not the beginning signs of shin splints
• Remember the other day how I said I had some fabulous news, which only concerned me, myself and I? Well I got a raise y’all! Hence the new iPod purchase… and most likely a new heels purchase this weekend.
• So the votes are in and it looks like purple is the winner! Although really, any colour would be awesome.  Purple it is folks! I’m getting my name engraved on the back with ‘One Twenty Five’ underneath. Lame or cool? Probably lame, but I figured when I was running it may help? Yes, No, Maybe? Probably not, but that’s just how I roll.
• Work is SO BUSY these days, which is bad, BUT the times flies by which is good!
• I really think I can actually do this running thing.  I’m pretty nervous, excited and shocked.
• My large ass gets to grace a horse’s back tomorrow morning.  One of my favourite things to do in this world.
• It looks like all sun and no rain this weekend! Woot Woot.

Happy Friday Friends!

I really can’t decide which colour to buy.  I’m a sucker for pink, but as my bb is light pink I feel they would clash (shut up, it’s a legit concern). 

So dear blog, which colour would you buy?

I changed my schedule.  The other one made me nervous as it didn’t seem to increase enough over time. 

If  When I pull this off it’s going to be EPIC! Epic because, as I’ve told you before and I’ll tell you again, I am not a runner by any stretch of the imagination. In fact I’m a class A couch potatoe.  Truth be told, I actually won the award of Laziest-Person-I-Know since 1984, which is quite the feat, but no more! This year I’m going to win the award of Couch-To-1/2-Marathon-Before-the-1/4-Life-Crisis-Birthday.

Again… it’s going to be epic.
