Gotta love a good deal

So this morning I decided to hit up Partridge Creek in my search for a dress for a wedding I'm going to on Friday. Normally I'm not searching for a plain black dress, but today that's what I was hoping to find. I grabbed a few...too tight, too expensive, too blah. Then my mom came across a cute dress on the sale rack for $60 so I tried it on. Well it fit perfectly, was plain black and I didn't feel like trying any other dresses on, so I decided to get it. I walk up to the register all proud of myself for buying a $60 dress as opposed to the $100 price tag I had in mind when I walked into Parisian. So she scans the tag and the dress rings up for $30! Score!

Well since I still had a bunch of time to kill before I needed to be back for my dentist appointment at 2:30, we decided to do a little more shopping. I decided I wanted to do turquoise accents with the plain black dress so I went out on a search for accessories. I went into Forever 21 (which I don't normally do since sometimes I feel so old in there lol) and came across the cutest ring...

I saw this one too and had to get it.


Oh and both of them didn't cost more than $10 total. Score again!

So I popped into GAP, picked up two shirts and a pair of shorts for me and a shirt for Jim, for less than $50...nice.

Oh yeah...and one more thing I bought was a pair of cropped black leggings and this dress (mine is in a purply red color) from Old Navy. I swore I'd never do the leggings thing, but everyone looks so cute in it, so I'm going to give it a try.



Too bad the place I spent the most money at today was the dentist...those bastards. And where they stuck the needle to numb me is what hurts the worst right now! Owwwwieeeeee!

C25K - Week 3 Day 1

So like I mentioned in my previous post, I'll be doing a 5K on June 6th. At least I'm pretty sure we're doing it. It was mentioned to me that a group of girls from work would be partaking in this event and that I should join in. But...I haven't officially signed up for it yet. I'm not too sure if anyone else has either. But anyway, for me this is kind of a big deal because I used to swear up and down that I'd never run as a form of exercise because I always hated it. I would look at people's faces as they ran by me and they'd always have this look of agony on it. I would say to myself, "are they crazy? that doesn't look fun at all". Well, well, well, how opinions changes. I realize it's probably the best form of cardio to do, but I'm still not a huge fan.

So since June 6th is right around the corner, I decided to jump back into the C25K program at week three. So today's run/walk looked like this:

Brisk five-minute warmup walk, then do two repetitions of the following:
Jog 200 yards (or 90 seconds)
Walk 200 yards (or 90 seconds)
Jog 400 yards (or 3 minutes)
Walk 400 yards (or three minutes)

I got through it pretty easily, but we'll have to see how the rest of the week goes.

Oh and I went to the dentist today for a cleaning and they told me that my last two remaining wisdom teeth (the ones on top) need to come out. Oh joy. AND I have to get a cavity filled next Tuesday. Yay.
