Grown Up Paper Dolls

Good morning lovelies! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! Did you do anything fun/productive/odd?

I...

Spent time with my wonderful parents who came to visit • Had an amazing dinner with them, the hubs, and family friends at Abacus (lobster shooters + truffle risotto + blood orange caramel creme brulee = happy tummy) • Continued our training with a weekend run (fave "Get me up this hill even though I feel like I'm going to hyperventilate" song? Emenim's 'Till I Collapse • Got a haircut (decided against the bangs...) • Napped and read most of Sunday cause it was cold and blucky outside • Made this for Sunday dinner- one of the hubs' favorites • Cleaned up multiple times after our poor Boo who wasn't feeling so good (TMI?) • Watched a marathon of The Tudors • Worked on a freelance Menu Design • Loving tagging on Pinterst and spending way too much time on Fonts in Use • Got the rough cut of our wedding video in the mail- and cried while we watched it.

And...I spent more time on the serious time suck, er, awesome and totally-productive-use-of-my-time site Polyvore. I can't get enough. The hubs calls it my "video game." He likes to play things where you shoot people, I like to play grown-up paper dolls. Sue me. Its just one more way for me to over-analyze my life. I love to make sets of what I've worn in a week. The purpose of this OCD weirdness? Well, a.) it keeps me from wearing the same pants everyday b.) I like looking back over my outfits and thinking of ways to remix items & c.) its strangely relaxing. Plus, I kind of feel like Cher in Clueless with her computerized wardrobe...

Here's what I wore to work the past 2 weeks. Join me in my madness won't you?

I love Polyvore, too! When I first discovered it, I was on it all. The. TIme. It is so much fun - just like paper dolls, as you say.

Although I haven't officially started my training, I spent 50 mins on the treadmill last night and my legs feel like wood today! Ouch. I wish I lived in a climate where I could run outdoors, but currently there's a foot of snow on my driveway, so no can do.

I haven't tried Polyvore yet but you are sure inspiring me!

LOVE the ear muffs :)

Awww, Lauren, you're so sweet! I often think the same thing, too - that I wish you were a wee bit closer geographically! Until one of us picks up and relocates, I suppose our friendship will have to exist in cyberspace (sniff!). But anytime that you're in Alberta, let me know! I'll have a glass of cabernet sauvignon ready for ya! :)
