New Duds

I was at school for 12 hours today. I had this very annoying, very long waste-of-time, er, I mean meeting, oops, no it was a "celebration" of all the very "important" work I did in my mentoring program. Of course, it meant very little time for food. So I ran out and got a burrito with another teacher, so that was meat and carbs for dinner (in this town, burritos do not come with veggies or cheese). There was dessert at the meeting, and my Support Provider (SP) wanted a cupcake, but they were huge so I was a team player and had half. I mean that seriously, I did not want the cupcake. It was nasty, plasticky, store-bought cupcake with shortning frosting the flavor of nothing. I do not like store-bought desserts. Now, if they were chips, I would have eaten the whole bag, but they weren't chips, they were cupcakes.

On the way home, I thought to myself, "Self, why don't we go for a short run when we get home?" So, I did. To make it even better, my new running clothes had arrived. I ordered a pair of spandex shorts (since I still can't seem to find anything but capris or shorts with chamois) and a new, stretchy Terry skort (since mine gives me skort burn along my waist when worn for long periods of time). So, I just ran 3 miles. Like that.

Of course, I think I the skort is too big. It's larger than the other one (since my other one is a bit too small), but I think it's too big. So I've got to see what it takes to trade it in for one smaller.

On a similar note, while trying on clothes for today's meeting (where administrators and district muckety-mucks were in attendance by the dozen), I had to wear a skirt I haven't fit in for a couple of years. The one I was going to wear was too big and looked just awful. Of course, the one that now fits is a size 12 while the one that is too big is a size 10. Women's sizes. What a pain.
