The first weekend of August is officially behind us, leading to yet another Monday. I’m not gonna lie, appreciating the marvelous in life with Katie makes me dislike Mondays a little less!
Yesterday I was lucky enough to have the afternoon off after a long, painful weekend at work. I was happy to spend the afternoon shopping with my Mom. I got some stuff I needed, as well as stuff that I didn’t. I can easily say that I found my new favorite running tank! Long distances may scare some, but not me.
I also feel so relieved to be getting more prepared for my move, bit by bit. My textbooks are arriving and I finally bought some new, dressier clothes for when I’m working in the clinic. The black dress pants I have now are so unflattering. I found a pair I loved at J. Crew, but heck, I found some at Old Navy that look just as good for half the price. I also bought my first pair of flats. I’m in love.
The best stop of the day? Eastern Mountain Sports for some fuel. I needed to pick up some honey stingers for next weekend, and I couldn’t help but pick up a new flavor of Nuun. I’m in love with this Tangerine Lime flavor! It’s probably my second favorite (to Cherry Limeade). I’m only a slight Nuun addict.
The most marvelous dinner of the week happened after our little shopping spree…BEN AND JERRY’S. Vanilla Heath Bar Crunch and Lazy Sunday in a waffle bowl = perfection.
My Sunday finished off with a night of cards with my family. My Uncle and I demolished my Mom and Aunt. We went 3-0 on the weekend – this never happens so I think it’s a sign that it’s time for summer to end.
While I have to work tonight, and every day until I leave for MD, I’m looking forward to running 4-5 miles this morning. I’m finally going to run in my new Ghost 6’s. I’ll be pushing it speed-wise to get one harder run in before the race in just 5 days!
What did you get during your last shopping spree?
What is your favorite Ben & Jerry’s flavor? Either “Coffee Coffee Buzz Buzz Buzz” or “Phish Food” frozen yogurt!

I have been craving ice cream lately so obviously the ice cream part of this post is my favorite 🙂 Haha!

Ditto. I go through phases where I like/don’t like it and it’s definitely one of my go-to’s right now. It’s the perfect dinner on a humid summer night!

I haven’t been on a shopping spree in awhile. I love getting cute stuff at Old Navy for way cheaper than other places! You got me in the mood to do some fall clothes shopping now:)

Old Navy is theBomb.com! When I was little I hated that store but now I love it. Their sweaters are so comfy and versatile. August is the best shopping month because there are tax free weeks!

I can’t believe those are your first pair of flats!! I live in flats (and my running shoes)! They are so much more comfortable than heels.
I love Nuun as well but have not tried that flavor yet…sounds delicious!

Right?! I just have never really been interested in them. Although I suppose Toms are kind of like flats, and I LOVE those. I’m a pretty boring shoe person, I tend to only buy them when I have to!

That tank is so cool! Love it!
Half Baked has been my favorite flavor for years, but I’ve been branching out lately! Too many to choose from!

That kind is delicious! I really like the Half Baked frozen yogurt. Heck, I like about any kind of ice cream right now…

There’s not one thing in this post that I don’t like. First, that shirt is perfection and I want one! Those flats are too cute and I also want them. I’ve never heard of that Nuun flavor, but cherry limeade is also my favorite flavor. You can never ever ever go wrong with Ben and Jerry’s!!!

I’m pretty sure we’re long lost best friends! Under Armor has been having great sales – I bet you could find it online or in a store. I wore it today and it was so comfy!

Between the tank and the ice cream, sounds like the perfect mix to me 🙂 Hope you have a great weekend this week!
