I am literally sitting here in my cold weather running gear, waiting for my husband to get home so that I can run, and he can drive to Babies R Us with me. I know this sounds like the lamest night ever to most people, but to me it sounds like a great time! He may even buy me an iced tea at Wendy’s!!
I am so excited because I haven’t been able to run in almost 2 weeks, and it’s driving me up a effing wall. A big reason I run is that it keeps the crazy at bay. Having struggled with various types of depression and anxiety disorders since my teen years, running is what keeps me sane. It keeps me on the line between “Wow, I wonder if they liked me?” and “THEY HATED ME. THEY TOTALLY HATED ME. THEY NEVER WANT TO HANG OUT AGAIN AND THINK I’M TOTALLY LAME AND CAN’T UNDERSTAND WHY I’D COME AT ALL!!’
When I can run? I book jobs. (I actually booked the BIGGEST gig of my life the day after a 14 miler.)When I can run, I am a better mom, a better wife, and I am pretty sure…(you’d have to ask the cop) I’m better private time department. (Marathoners go the distance.) I score better on tests. I make better food. I FEEL BETTER about myself and everything else. I also get a much speedier route to said Babies R Us to get the vitamins and diapers I need.
Do you know what happens when I don’t run? I go to Bloomingdale’s sales rack, pick up what I think is a tunic, try it on, and see this.
Yep. That’d be a jumper over my skinny jeans. A jumper clearly made for a 5’5″ woman with a super short torso. Yes, I didn’t even notice pulling them OVER my knee high boots. I think this is going to be a new look.
It’s going to be on all of the runways for fall/winter 2012. Anna Wintour has called me twice. I am NOT calling her back. She seems mean.
