Hippocratic Oats

Everybody hurts sometimes…

Holy moly I’m one hurting Sarah! After three days of pretty intense work outs focusing on my legs, I’m in P-A-I-N. I was pretty sore yesterday, but I pushed through and did just under an hour on the treadmill and about 10 minutes of lunges, squats, and leg raises. BAD IDEA. I could barely walk today without doing that silly cowboy strut. Needless to say, I decided today needed to be a rest day.

And what better way to spend a rest day then doing some last minute shopping at the mall! If you can’t tell, there was a whole lot of sarcasm behind that statement. I know the mall 4 days before Christmas actually sounds pretty terrible. I’m not a big fan of getting my shopping done at the last minute. I hate the crowds and dealing with the super long lines, but over the past few weeks, I haven’t had much time to be thinking about presents. To make the trip to the mall much more bearable, I invited some friends along

Merilee and Josh joined me for the hectic day. We started off with lunch at P.F. Chang’s before getting our shop on.

The not so special sauce

After lunch, we hit up the mall. Fortunately it wasn’t too crazy, and we managed to get to all the stores we wanted to within a few hours. I’m about 75% done with my Christmas shopping, and I’m hoping to finish tomorrow when I go to see Richard in Rome (Yaaaaay ). I haven’t seen Richard since Nicola’s wedding…far too long! Richard and I used to be roommates at Colgate and during my first two post college years in Boston. He has since moved to LA to pursue a doctorate at UCLA, and therefore I don’t get to see him as much as I would like. I’m looking forward to tomorrow, which should be a fun filled day of snuggling, gossiping and snacking…3 of my favorite things to do with my Beau Beau

Love this silly picture of Richard and I from back in the day. I was attempting to give him a kiss on the cheek. Also love the second pic which is from the same night at Cornwall’s in Kenmore Square. It’s also our go to engagement photo if we ever need one
