Hoilday Weekending

Wow, 2 weekend recaps in a row? Who am I? Someone who does things and links up with Biana? How excitement.

Anyway. My weekend wasn't super exciting, but I did have some fun and wanted to share.

Saturday kicked off the 13 week countdown for the Rock N Roll Half Marathon, which meant that my training started. I'm not really training until January, for the rest of December I am just concentrating on running consistently, not focusing on speed or hills or anything.

So I went for a quick 3 mile. Can I just say a huge thank you to the idiots people who decided they didn't need to watch or tie up their dog? Because my heart and I just loved when he came charging towards me like he was going to bite my head off. I legit screamed, stopped running because you'd have to be an idiot to keep running when a big dog is chasing you, and just prayed to Zeus that he wouldn't bite me. I mean, wtf do you do in that situation? He barked at me for like a minute, lunged at me a couple of times and then ran back to his house. I had started crying a bit and was seriously freaked out, but had only run 1 mile so I kept going. Thankfully, he didn't follow. I love dogs and am not generally afraid of them, only when they are huge and running towards me like they want my leg for dinner.

After that KC and I went to his work's holiday party. There was lots of Christmas music, beers, jello shots, photos with props, selfies and loud people freaking out over who knows what. It was a good time.

In case you are wondering, my bestie and husband work together (as well as her husband) which is basically why we are always together.

I was quite tickled when I realised that both my dress and boots are from good ol Kmart. The dress is the one I posted on instagram, it is seriously so perfect for the holidays and winter, I know I'm gonna get lots of wear out of it for many years. The boots are from Australian Kmart (similar) and were only $15 and I have worn the heck out of them. Australian Kmart is better than American Kmart, quality and reputation wise anyway. Your Target is better, you win.

But seriously, this dress is so fabulous. It looks sequiny but it's not. It's thick without being too thick, I got a bigger size because I didn't want it to be super snug, but I just love it. I saw it on Jessie James Decker's instagram and swung by my Kmart the next day to check it out in real life. I sent the picture to my bestie and she sent back this:

Who wore it better? Just kidding. I still can't believe I got it at Kmart.. Thanks Jessie James!

The people who had the party love books (who doesn't) and have a bunch of old copies from a school that closed many years ago. You know I had to look through all of their bookshelves so that I could a) judge them on their book choices and b) look for Pride and Prejudice (no dice).

They did have a copy of Wuthering Heights from 1936. I mean, they shouldn't have let drunk people like me touch their pretty books, but oh it smelled so good!

We got home pretty late and spent most of Sunday doing nothing, and it was quite lovely. We have a dinner this week for my work, and that's really it for holiday festivities for us.

I have a favour to ask you all. As you can see, my hair and makeup are so-so in this post, I curled it but it dropped so quickly, I think it's getting too long, who knows. The point is, you can see the difference to when I do my own hair and makeup to when my bestie does it. I mean, the difference is crazy. She's a magician. I keep trying to convince her to start a blog or instagram, but she's shy. I'd love her to guest post on here to put her toes in the water and I told her you'd all be so lovely and nice and I'd almost convinced her. Help me with a comment to prove how awesome the blogging community is?
