Too much but never enough Tear it up and watch it fall*

Hug a dog today! 💖

Hey dudes! Happy SaturGay. Josh and I slept in until an impressive 8 A.M. this morning…that never happens.

Sunset through the beauty room window this evening. ⛅️

I had a completely average work week. Ran twice, each time, less than two miles, each time my foot hurt worse the next day. NO BUENO. As is typical in my life, I finally start to enjoy exercise and now I’m wounded. Whiney whine whine.

💙

Other news: I have an appointment at the fertility clinic next month to consider Robo Baby options. That’s riiiiiight. I basically took all of 2015 off from being concerned about making a baby, and now I’ve decided to um, be concerned again. Robo Baby, ahoy!

Ohhh the possibilities! 😍🌟✨

I feel very relaxed about the whole idea. I guess I AM ready. It certainly took a while.

Hawt. 💪

Meanwhile in preparation of packing another 30 pounds onto my already not-needing-any-extra-weight bod, AND with the strong desire of core strengthening, Josh and I have started a weight-training program. It’s from a weight-training book I’ve had since oh, 2012 or so. Heh heh heh sigh.

Maggie is like, so OVER Halloween already.

Welcome to your nightmares.

Posting pictures of these masks every year guarantees horrified responses. I can barely tolerate it when Josh puts this one on. Noooooo!

Phyllis is getting the glitter treatment today. And I'm dangerously close to running out of my favorite neon glitter! 😿

I had a tragic accident with the neon pink glitter the other day, and now it accidentally has yellow and green mixed into it. Tragic indeed, because I have not been able to find neon glitter of this caliber for YEARS, and I do mean, YEARS. I’ve been parceling it out in tiny increments and always pouring it back into the bottle because I treasure it so.

Painting workstation, currently. I'm watching a doc about Richard Pryor. 🎨

I ordered a couple of neon glitter samples from two sellers on Etsy so that I can finish the Phyllis painting, but of course they aren’t as good as my favorite neon glitter. Should I look into making my own glitter? I mean…really.

Two new additions to my turban collection. The white one is for my Halloween costume. 🌟

The hot pink turban I bought at Patricia Field in NYC for something like 6 bucks…now I kind of wish I had gotten one in every color of the rainbow. The white turban is for my Halloween costume. I’m tempted to cover it with sequins.

The main part of my Halloween costume arrived today. I'm not a fan of white clothes...they always seem like a blank canvas to me. 🎨

Here’s the dress part of my costume…first try-on. Needs undergarments. Spanx are the devil!

I 💙 Amy Schumer.

Have you seen the latest Amy Schumer stand-up, “Live at the Apollo”? We had a few chuckles, but agreed that it wasn’t as funny as some of her other work.

These "Chinese Lantern" plants are awfully cute. 🎃

I spied these “Chinese Lantern” plants at the hardware store and thought, “Awwww…I want one!” immediately followed by the thought, “Awwww…I’d kill that!

This is how my husband spelled "cream cheese" this morning. How concerned should I be?

This is how my husband recently spelled “cream cheese” on the grocery list. On a scale of 1 to 10, how concerned should I be?

Much needed/appreciated post-work dog park sun therapy today. Whew. 🌞

Outdoor sunshine dog therapy is the best therapy.

Color coordination: a celebration. 💙

Cheap-o turquoise jewelry from an Indian vendor in NYC. It coordinates so well with the kitchen!

My mother said these floral curtains have "angels all over them!", and now I always see the angels. Love you, Mom. 😇

My mother squealed during her last visit, “Liz, those curtains have angels all over them!” and now I always see the angels. 🙂 Love you, Mumsie.

Siiiighhhhh 😍

Last Wednesday’s episode of AHS not only featured the introduction of Angela Bassett as a sort of Pam Grier-esque badass, but an entire fashion montage of Angela and Lady Gaga’s costumes over several decades! Ooooh!

Everything on this page looks good to me, "Elle" magazine. 🌸

I’ll take everything on this page, thanks, “Elle” magazine.

Cute? Not really, but the Brooks "PureConnect" line is the most comfortable running shoe I've ever owned. 💙💚💪

My new running sneakers, the Brooks PureConnect 4’s. Not the cutest, and with WHITE SOLES (you know how I feel about white), but they feel so niiiiice.

Forgot my gloves today at the dog park, but luckily Bear Cub kept me warm. 💕

I haven’t transitioned into thinking about cold weather yet, and keep forgetting a hat and gloves at the dog park. Luckily Bear Cub’s fur is really thick right now.

Ohhh Friday I'm glad you're here again. 🍁🍂🍃

Who doesn’t love this time of year?

Breakfast for dinner is the 💣

As it turns out, the parade of carbs and sugars we’ve been eating since our return from NYC has been doing us zero favors (bloated stomachs and zitty skin), but I strongly felt before returning to a low carb (ish) eating plan I really really needed sausage and blueberry pancakes for dinner. We had this last night, and it was heaven.

Today we are going out thrifting to purchase the rest of our costume needs. Christy is coming over for dinner tonight, and I’m making chicken yakisoba, because at least then we’ll be eating some vegetables along with our carbs!
