Things that made this past week, altogether, pretty spectacular:For the first time in my adult life, I paid someone to clean my home.
 |
| I think this was who did the cleaning. very practical outfit |
I began moving out of my work station (ok, it was just a glamorous cubicle) and into my very own office. Have a seat and shut the door.
 |

Almond butter and strawberry jam, on hearty grainy bread.
 |
| Still obsessed with this stuff |
leaving work at 4:55 on Monday.
 |
| I'm outta here suckas |
The fact that it has been 100+ degrees all over America, but blessed Oakland has been a perfect 70 degrees all summer long. 58 degrees during my morning runs = perfection.
I am saving so much money this summer, which I usually spend on 7-11 stops during my hot sweaty runs.
 |
| All my runs have been overcast like this pic of Lake Merritt. I love it. |
The Gentleman got a bonus.
 |
| good job sweetie!! now buy me presents. just kidding. |
Ginger biscuits.
Follow these directions: Go to Cost Plus World Market. Go to the british food section. Find the shelves with round sleeves of biscuits. Buy at least 5 different kinds. We have enjoyed: Oaties; digestives; biscoff; ginger biscuits; fruit shortcake biscuits; gingerbread and cinnamon biscuits...
I looked at pictures of my sister giving birth. Amazing, and yet incredibly frightening. I remain terrified of the stuff my body is supposed to do.
 |
| worth the hurt. Yes, I stole that slogan from the SF Marathon. |
Mad Men started streaming on Netflix. And since, has been on about 50% of the time that we are home.
 |

I still don't care about the stock market. Gold this, oil that, investment blah, dow jones bleh, nasdaq my butt.
 |
| Shh, I have to check the index of the S&P on Wall Street!!! |
I got a 20 miler in before work on Wednesday. It's been a few months since my last, and it makes the whole day 20x better. It helped bring me to exactly 70 miles for the week.
 |
| I'm including the 5 meters of skipping I did outside our apartment. |
New Kashi cereal, which is a sweet mix between Pops and Corn Nuts
 |
| I like snacking on it dry |
I went to the Napa Outlets before visiting my perfect niece on Saturday, and tried on a dozen dresses at the
Max Studio outlet. I grew up 1 mile from these outlets, and never noticed how awesome this store was before. I bought 2 dresses. I officially never wear pants.
seriously, my home is so clean. Love.
