I Could Have Done Without

I'm laughing here....

but this is how I really feel...

Wiped.
Wool/Mongolian Wool Vest - Thrifted, Turtleneck - Random
Pants and Booties - Zara

Did the 5:30am gym thing again. 
Can I just say...my friend H is discovering I am *el cranko pantalones* in the a.m.?
With a side of giddy...to keep her from slapping me.

So stinkin' tired this morning. I eyed the toothpaste which was next to my perfume. At the same time I stuck my bare toothbrush in my mouth. Then remembered - "I'm missing something", which then led me to pick up said perfume and nearly spray my toothbrush with it. I kid you not. That's the extent of my multitasking at insane hours.


Watch - Swatch
I'm fairly certain I could've done without filling in my right eyebrow today. It would've meant 2 extra minutes that I could've spent in bed. Sigh...

Over the weekend S and I had a Christmas-in-Jan party to go to. We also had dinner at our next door neighbours. Literally, next door but we were still 10 minutes late. Go fig. Anyhoots, after a lovely dinner their 2 and 5 yr old girls proceeded to give me and their mom quite the performance: a musical number from Highschool Musical. The 2 yr old, J, knew all the words. She topped it off with a sway of the hips and said, "I'm fabulous!" Sassy lil thing. I die.

Then she sat on my lap and snuggled into me. Which made her mom ask, "You really like Ela don't you?" To which J nodded and said, with a point of a finger, "And that one too." Following her finger, we realized she was pointing at S. I love that I get a name and he gets "that one". I think I'll start calling him that from now on.

How were your weekends?

I've missed out on a ton these last few days! Wanted to wish the BonBon Rose Girls Happy Blogiversary! Iva, belated Happy Birthday, I hope your day was as wonderful as you are!
What else did I miss???

  19. Sweetheart,
    first of all, I adore the look and photos and also think that you have gorgeous floors! :)

    Secondly, I want to ask - are you sure about 5:30 workouts? You know the main rule of fitness - you should feel energies and happy after a workout, not drained or tired or like you are losing your marbles... Trust me, I speak from my own experience. In the past, due to my work schedule, I worked out at 5:00 - 5:30 3-4 times per week. In the beginning I felt like a winner, happy and proud, but then - tired and unhappy... These workouts really messed up my immune system and I ended up being seriously ill for months. After I got well, I promised myself to be sensible about the hours and schedules. These days I work out in the morning (normal hours) or early afternoon. I know for you it's also about a company, but if you feel like s^&*t now and are at risk of getting sick, does it REALLY matter whether you are doing it with somebody else or on your own? If you like gym and workouts, go later, or at least, vary the time.

    I'd hate to know that you are doing more harm to yourself than good.

    Big kiss and hug,
    LR

  20. thanks so much for the comment, i'm so proud that you did the workout thing again!

  21. ha hahahahaha... S is "that one." Too cute.
    And why in the world are you going to the gym at 5:30?? I'm all supportive that you're being so healthy and everything... but does the gym close in the afternoon? is it not possible to go at a more reasonable time? I have to be honest... that just sounds miserable.
    and my friend's girls have a little High School Musical routine they perform as well. It cracks me up... so much spunk and sass crammed into such tiny little bodies. It's always good for a healthy laugh...

    Praying that B does not see this phrase, because I am sure he will adopt it and call me that all the time...

  26. Glad you had a great weekend! I don't know how you're getting up for those workouts! That's just insane. It's hard for me to function at work let alone a gym workout at that hour. Go you!

  34. Loove the vest - love Mongolian sheepskin and love that it's white! It's so striking against black! I know what you mean about being exhausted because of staying up late- doing that right now! xo, mel

  35. Awww I love your vest, Ela. You look so pretty and warm in it! Yay! :)

    I don't envy your early morning workout sessions but I have to admit I'm impressed. You're going to look and feel fabulous! (Keep telling yourself that!)

    Oh, and say hi to "that one" for me! Hahahahaha!!!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Beautiful vest! I can't believe you managed to do the 5:30 gym thing. No way would I get out of bed that early unless I had to catch a flight (and believe me, I'm not fun then).

    Haha... S as 'that one' is hilarious! Then again, at that age, girls probably think all guys are the same ;-)

  37. beat up or not, you look lovely!

  38. I could never, ever wake up at 5 to go to the gym at 5:30 in the morning. Shoot, I'm lucky if I even get to work before 8:30 (I should be there at 8), or the gym at 9 (it closes at 10).

    I'm definitely a late night owl... It's insane.

    Even if you're cranky in the morning, you still have the resolve to keep doing it. That's admirable.

    I'm training for the Honolulu marathon in December... I'm... so far only doing 5k's on the weekend. I'm pathetic, and I have only 11 more months to get into shape! (26 miles)
