Food Baby

You know those days when you eat like you just ran 10 miles but really you only ran two?  Usually they end something like this...


But in all honesty, I'd pay money to look like this pregnant

Turns out when I posted an ad for "Running Partner" I should have specified LONG DISTANCE running partner.  After driving 30 minutes I ran for less than 20 for 2 measly, slow miles. 



Boooo - if it had just been me I would have done 6 and wouldn't have even had any travelling time.  Back to the drawing board.  Now how to let this guy down easily... without saying "Uh, you suck at running so I want to run by myself."  Okay, I don't mean that.  You'd think when I mentioned in the ad that I'm running 1000 miles this year that people would get that I run a lot and far. 

Oh well.

I had a much better time later at the park with my good friend "C"... he really does know how to smile I promise.  That juice must have tasted delicious, I couldn't get him to take a break to give me a good smile.



And after stuffing myself silly all day I finally decided I needed to do some damage control.  Arms and shoulders?  Yes. 


Still feel like I'm carrying food baby though.  If only cutting salt out of my diet was easy but it is the hardest thing I have ever tried to do (IE: It's so hard that I'm not really even trying).  When I was younger Playdoh was on my food pyramid.  A little embarrassing to admit, yes, but it explains why I have a salt addiction.

I had a cup of regular coffee about an hour ago in hopes of getting super crazy tonight and going out way past my bedtime for a girls night with some good friends of mine.  Now it's storming like crazy and all I want to do is go to sleep. 

I wonder how much they'll care if I go in above outfit and don't fix my hair or makeup...

The Top

I used to complain all the time about how boring my town was and how there was nothing unique at all that I could show out-of-towners.  Well, apparently I'm dead wrong - at least when it comes to cool restaurants.  I thought chain restaurants were our only options but I've been finding out recently that there are really a lot of cool places to eat. 

This morning I went to church

For the first time in... well a really long time, I actually wore the first thing I put on.  Am I the only one who needs to try on like 5 outfits before deciding on one?



Believe it or not I DID actually just vacuum this carpet - obviously I should never make a career out of vacuuming


New funky tribal looking earrings.


Crazy eyebrows. 

After church I had lunch with my friends Kristen and Alexis and Kristen's best friend Amy



Kristen, me and Alexis (not from today)

We went to The Top - OH MY GOSH most amazing place EVER!!!!
To be honest, this review is based off of me rarely ever going to a place that caters to vegans/vegetarians.  Usually I have to get salad everywhere I go, it gets super boring.  I can usually only find one or two items that I can have.  It was so overwhelming to have a whole menu to choose from.  Now I know how normal people feel ;)



It pretty much encompasses everything I love



It has great atmosphere, is super kitchsy and mismatched in a non-tacky way
According to yelp.com The Top's ambiance is: Hipster, Romantic, Trendy, Touristy, Casual





And has some pretty unique wait staff - sadly they weren't wearing the beards today ;)

I had a hard time choosing what to get but ended up with a falafel burger, fresh fruit and sweet potato fries that I shared with the table.  Everything was DELICIOUS!  I am in love.

After today's adventure I'm really excited to go back but also to try out some other places around town. 

Currently I'm trying to resist the Sunday Afternoon Nap
Never ends well...
I'm always left feeling really groggy all day.  It's so hard though, I'm really draggy after babysitting until 12:30 last night. 

I hope you all had a great weekend!
