ah, what an investment that'd be...


I think I'm going to start my day tomorrow with a run. I'm sure that when the alarm goes off tomorrow morning I am going to seriously regret this decision, but I think it's for the best. I've been feeling seriously unfit lately and it's time to make a change. So tomorrow, I'm going for a run.

I was supposed to have an interview today for an internship, but we had to reschedule for tomorrow. I tried on a bunch of different outfits in preparation, and I did find one that I liked. The pants, however, had ben packed away and apparently I don't know how to fold things very nicely because they were terribly wrinkled. I had to call my mom to bring over her iron and give me a hand. The pants look much nicer now.

My mom commented that I should invest in a suit. She's probably right, so I let her take me to Bayshore Mall to shop around. It was nice to have mommy-daughter bonding time. I don't see my mom a whole lot so it was nice to just spend a casual afternoon with her that didn't involve doing my laundry or picking up my mail.

Sadly, though, I was unable to find the perfect suit, or blazer for that matter. I'm not very busty (uh, at all) so nothing fits me quite right on top when it comes to blazers. They hang open funny since I don't really fill them up. Oh well, we tried. But I do agree with her that I should have a nice suit outfit, so the search is not over. I also seriously want to invest in a trench. I like this pink one by Ralph Lauren... now I just need to find a more affordable version!


Oh! And I almost forgot... when my mom and I were shopping, we ventured into a store we've never been in before. The sales lady asked what we were looking for and decided to show us an "investment piece" and by that she meant very expensive. It was a silken wool (from Italy) blazer for $1,200. It was Armani. I touched it. It was very nice, but wow! Talk about a big investment!

lol ... you're funny!

i was also considering taking up running.
for god's sake, thighs are so flabby these days!
ugh .. it's terrible.
you don't even want to know.

i've heard biking, running, squats and lunges are really good for your legs ... and i think the elliptical machine is really good for an all over tone.
man .. i wish i had an elliptical machine.
