Happy Friday! This week I wanted another bright color to go with the 80 degree day we had when I painted my nails, so I went with OPIs Live.Love.Carnaval gel nail polish. It is from OPI’s 2014 Brazilian line, and I’m a huge fan!
This creamy, beautiful coral color is so ideal for spring and summer. Some pictures I’ve seen make it look more red than coral, so keep that in mind when you see pictures of it!
Throwback Post: On the Boston Marathon <-A post I wrote last year on Boston Marathon day.
Here are some random facts for the week:
1. I am officially in taper for my next half marathon, which I’ll talk a bit more about next week. Mexico accidentally put in taper far too early, and there’s no real way to have avoided that… which makes me nervous for race day. I’ll talk a bit more about running lately next week.
2. I received an advance copy of the book Truest by Jackie Lea Sommers, and I haven’t been able to put it down. I’ll be reviewing it soon for you all (I finished last weekend and sobbed through the last few pages!), and I can’t wait for you to hear more about it.
3. I want to preface the following story by saying that I am extremely thankful that I have food… and I don’t ever want to take that for granted. But when I spend money on something, I also expect to get what I paid for. So this past weekend I ordered a sandwich from Dominos (Italian sausage with peppers, onion, etc…). I opened my box and saw one of the most sad looking sandwiches I’ve ever seen (and it was the WRONG sandwich):
Pathetic looking, right? Even if this was the correct sandwich I had ordered, I would’ve been disappointed by the quality of it (it’s so dry looking with almost no sauce. Yikes!). They gave me some free parm bites, and 50% off my next order, so I guess that’s something…
4. I laid out at the pool for the first time this season, not counting the little bit I did at the end of my trip in Mexico, and it was so wonderful that I wanted to cry! I’m so happy to finally be in warm weather and sunshine again, and am looking forward to months of great weather!
5. Have you ever eaten these marshmallow candies before (they are very much like circus peanuts in consistency)? They are one of the candies I remember my mom putting in easter eggs when I was little, so I like to eat a bag or two every Easter. This year I took a bag of them with me to Mexico 🙂
Now it’s your turn to share! Tell me one random fact from your week!
Oh no! That *is* a sad looking sandwich, haha. Glad you at least got some additional compensation/goodies for next time out of it, but jeez!
I look forward to hearing about the half + your thoughts on running!
Hmm, random thing from this week – I’ve been making my way back through the Fast and Furious movies and they are incredibly entertaining.
Such a saddish looking little sandwich! Confession- I don’t think I’ve even seen one fast and furious movie!
That is the saddest sandwich ever.
