JCREW

I had to return a couple things last night to Banana Republic (I ordered 4 pairs of pants....same size, same style...2 fit, 2 did not...weird). So, I decided to stop in JCrew to see what they had in the store. I have been looking at a couple things online for awhile. I was very happy to see they had a sweater I wanted on Sale and an additional 40% off...so I got the sweater for less than half the original price! Yeah...now I have something appropriate for fall Ga Tech football games!! Now I just have to figure out how to put it together in an outfit. I am thinking Dark jeans, boots and a simple tank under it. (Picture of the sweater to come in the next post....)

Number of miles I ran this morning without stopping!! YEA!!

I'm trying to get some distance in this week (or at least work on increasing distance) since I will be away next week. If I do get to work out/go to the gym, it will be over lunch break and only be 30 minutes, so I'll be doing intervals and sprints.

This working out thing is great.....makes me feel great (and helps work off the potato chips I have been eating!!)

Tar Heels

We met a group of James' friends from UNC for tailgating and game day fun. Even though the Tar Heels lost to Virginia Tech, we had a great time. The pictures below show just how much fun was had.....

A friendly game of flip cup.....
This one is too close to call
What's a tailgate without cornhole?!
You can barely see the score, but it was 17-10 UNC....didn't end that way though

Weekend Recap

James and I went to NC for the weekend. Friday evening we had dinner with James' brother for his birthday. Saturday we went to Chapel Hill for the football game. (Post to come) And then headed back early on Sunday. It was a quick trip but lots of fun!! Barley and I just got back from a run - to help work off all the "fun" that was had this weekend!!

FALL

Reasons I am loving (or do love) Fall:

Cool weather
Sweaters and Jeans
Football Games
My Birthday (October)
Getting Ready for the Holidays
Good Red Wine on the Porch on a Cool Evening (hmm, doesn't have to be fall to enjoy good red wine, but this scenario sounds pretty good to me)
Hugo & Daphne - our friends are coming to visit this year

JCrew Love

Over on JCrew Aficionada there is a link to FFM's Polyvore sets with JCrew's fall line....oh my gosh....I want so many of the outfits she put together!!! Loving FALL!!!

You win some, You lose some

James and I played 2 matches this weekend. Friday evening we lost - 4-6, 6-3, 5-7. We played for 2.5 hours and were both exhausted when we were done. So we didn't make it to the birthday dinner. James played men's on Saturday morning and the team won all 5 lines!! Then we played another match Saturday evening and WON!!! 6-3, 6-1. That was my first win in tennis, and it felt good!!

We also had a garage sale on Saturday. We only made about $170, but did get rid of a few things. I think I am done with Garage Sales and will donate the left overs!

Our football teams won some, lost some as well. UNC won on Thursday night. UK won on Saturday. But GaTech and OSU both lost on Saturday.

So, as the saying goes.....
You win some, you lose some!

That did it

A 2 hour nap/rest and I was ready for the gym...lifted legs and then took Barley for a walk. We watched the last bit of James' tennis practice...The coach had them moving!!
