Playing Catch Up
Well. Hello friends. Happy Memorial Day to those lucky Americans who do not have to work today like this Canadian 
It’s been a while (again!) since I’ve posted. Whoops. So I’ll have to play a bit of catch up here.
Last week was good, but relatively uneventful. My sister and I went for dinner on Tuesday before she headed home on Wednesday morning.
Wednesday I had planned to go for a run, but the gross rain put a bit of a damper on that, so instead I was lazy 
Thursday the rain foiled my run plans again, and I did a much needed deep clean of my condo as it was a bit of a mess.
Friday was my birthday celebration with my girl friends.
I called the restaurant on Friday afternoon to change the reservation and we ended up being moved into their private room. It ended up being so, so perfect. To be honest, I was tired before dinner on Friday and was thinking about just doing dinner and then going home (a party pooper at my own celebration) but I’m so glad I ended up going out after dinner!
Now, I wasn’t so glad on Saturday morning, but c’est la vie. I was also quite cheerfully hungover.
The Cowboy came in from Hawaii on Saturday as well and phoned me right when he came home so we were able to spend some time together before I spend the rest of the weekend (and today) with his parents. It’s definitely weird knowing his parents are in town and not spending time with them, but I’m (still) hopeful this is only a temporary situation.
I was supposed to run a 10k race on Sunday, but after sleeping the majority of the day on Saturday (the exception being the few hours I saw The Cowboy) I wasn’t able to fall asleep until 2am, and I certainly was not waking up at 6am to run a race I didn’t train for…..so I stayed in bed until 10:30.
Today I’ll be tidying up my place and enjoying a nice, relaxing massage before (hopefully) getting a good night rest.
Happy Monday, friends!

So, I had a birthday
Today is officially my third day in my 30′s. Wow.
I feel like I have a lot of thoughts swimming around, so I’m just going to put them out there.
After writing about my Birthday Blues, The Cowboy and I chatted it was nice. Really nice. I feel like we’re truly listening to one another and are able to give one another the benefit of the doubt when things get rocky. Friday my cold returned with a vengence again (for the third time?) and I went home early. I was able to help The Cowboy out a bit at work by brining him lunch, dropping off a cheque and volunteering to do some invoicing (which need to get done today!!) so he could manage to work and pack for Hawaii.
As for what our plan is or how we’re doing. There is no plan. We’re just hanging out and seeing how things go. Right now, they’re pretty good. We both have a lot on our plates with work, so we don’t always get to see one another as much as we’d like, but we enjoy the time we do spend together, so I’ll take it.
Saturday was my birthday, I was up early (grrr) so I took myself on a walk to pick up some coffee. While walking, The Cowboy called to wish me a happy birthday before he boarded his flight to Hawaii and promised me we’d celebrate upon his return.
The rest of Saturday was a pretty chill day. I had a bit of a mishap while waxing my brows:
Thankfully my bangs are on my right and my brow pencil does a pretty good job.
See?!
Sunday I drove to my mom’s and enjoyed a hot dog for lunch. Thanks, friends, for talking about hot dogs last week.
Monday I took some pictures while driving (shhhh!)
And today I’m back at work. I’m feeling healthy-ish (I still wake up with a sore throat and cough occasionally, but I’m really hoping I’m on the mend!)
After work my sister and I are going to take her pup for a walk and then enjoy some Mexican for dinner before she heads back home.

Happy Hump Day friends – we’re half way through the week! Unless you have tomorrow off like I do
Birthday week will continue celebrations with dinner tonight, my sister coming into town later this evening, breakfast with my sister tomorrow and Star Trek with The Cowboy in the afternoon. Oh, and a massage with my fav massage therapist in the evening as she has a new job and I wanted to see her one last time!
Hooray for random days off.
Today is all about work and being as productive as possible before my middle of the week day off.
Wearing jeans makes today even better
So, it appears my eyes are lopsided. Oops.

I almost didn’t post this today.
These past few days have been unbelievably difficult for friends of mine and posting about my outfit just seems so……trivial. Really, does anyone actually care what I wear in a day?
Does anyone care that my bangs were greasy so I pinned them back?
Shut up, Ange, no one really cares.
For all the shit that’s happened in my life over the past six months, I realize I live a very privileged life. My complaining or problems are superficial. I’m sure there have been countless times where y’all have rolled your eyes and said get over it. Because…..really.
So. Here’s my outfit, because, well…..because.
Love and prayers to those of you struggling today.

Friday Casual
And, once again, it’s Friday.
FRRRIIIIIIDDDDAAAAYYYYYY!
Whew.
I’ve made it through my irrationally grumpy week and have survived!
- I’m wearing the comfiest top today. Seriously. So comfy. From that expensive athletic wear store. Awesome.
- I have a dinner date tonight. I’ve already (secretly) decided where we’re eating – now to get the other party on board
- I also kind of hope dinner is done in time to watch hockey. I’m pretty sure my team is going to lose, but I’ll watch none the less
- Tomorrow I’m getting my hair cut and coloured! I’m pumped! It’s so freaking LONG right now! Proof:
- Does that scraggly grey hair stick out for you as much as it does for me?!
- I’ve had Starbucks every day this week – and I’ll be having some tomorrow morning as my hair appointment is at 9am!
- The 9am appointment means seeing Iron Man 3 at 1pm will work out perfectly!
- I’m super pumped for the weekend!
- I’m volunteering to clean up a pathway with my yoga studio on Sunday – I really volunteered because I wanted to spend time outside
- Yay spring!!
- My 30th birthday is in 15 days. Eeps!
- I’m totally excited to turn 30. After the shitshow 29 was I know 30 will be awesome (oh, hey universe? this is NOT an invitation to throw more shit my way. Kthanxbai!)
What are you looking forward to this weekend?

Just Another Thursday
Today’s outfit was the result of two outfit changes and it’s really nothing special.
For some reason I woke up exhausted today, I even went to bed at 10:30 and missed the end of the hockey game. (Not that I missed much, we lost, as I expected we would. So…..).
But. Tired.
So putting any effort into my outfit today just wasn’t going to happen. I’m really just looking forward to heading home after work and having a bit of rest.
Yes, I should go for a run, but depending on my level of tired at the end of the day, a nap may just win out. I believe that’s what’s known as balance, my friends
