that I’d be caught dead in. I cannot find anything that is (1) cute (2) comfortable (3) affordable. Frustrating. All I seem to be able to find right now are faux suede jackets… and over the last 3 weeks I have acquired 3 of them. Today’s is black with a swanky little tie belt… and yes I plan to wear it on the date tonight. I got it for $23 believe it or not. I’m still floored by the sale - originally $88. Go me!

The plan tonight is to wear that jacket with a blue & white paisley blouse (sounds ugly but it’s actually pretty cute) and jeans. Tim and I agreed to jeans the other night so we wouldn’t tear apart our closets 2 weeks in a row. (Still can’t believe he did it too, but it seems he did. Awwww….) The big issue I have right now of course is ‘which pair’ and of course the ever important issue… WHICH SHOES?! I’m leaning towards black boots. We’ll see. My boots are not the most comfortable things in the world and unfortunately I need comfy shoes tonight…

I wore the wrong gym shoes today for my 4 mile jog - still damn impressed with myself for that one. And my heels are blistered, in a gross way. In a don’t take off your shoes way. In a forget about slingbacks way. In a omg the shower hurts way. It’s rough. But I’m tough. Tomorrow I will bandage up nicely and head off to the gym bright and early for my first Step class in a few months. And honestly I cannot wait. We had a great instructor at the gym that everyone loved, except the former fitness coordinator. So Brandy left and the classes dwindled to nothing, and the complaints went through the roof. Once the old coordinator moved on, Lifetime brought Brandy back just to quell the rage. Class is at 9:30, but I’ll leave here by 8:45 to make sure I get into the class. It’s going to be that crazy tomorrow. We steppers are an odd yet loyal breed. Honestly I’m so excited about this class I can’t see straight. I will probably come home afterwards and do a few miles in the hood to get in the miles. T and I agreed back in September that Step classes wouldn’t count towards mileage so I still have to get that in. And I will. Because I’m a rules girl.  (right T?!)

I had a sushi feast for lunch. And it was fantastic. It has set me up for a nice light salad dinner with Tim and that is just perfect by me.

Hugs to all, and yes I will report back on the evening… Ellen
