eye vs. mascara

mascara won.

i think this confirms my suspicions of allergies to this specific mascara.

of course, it's one of my favorites.

so when i woke up to an eye lid that was 3 times its normal size (it's definitely gone down from this morning to when this picture was taken), i decided it's probably a good day to go mascara-less 

(aka make-up-less, really. lucky co-workers of mine!)

and buy a new mascara....

but hey!
it's may 1st!
(and 30 degrees and snowing in parts of utah today, but who's keeping track....)

flip{ped} the switch.

so as i was driving home from work yesterday, i had the sudden inspiration.....

i need to go running.

i need to get in shape.

i need to eat healthier all the time.

 i need to go running...tonight!

 so i did.

i got home, changed clothes

(aka got layered up...hello 10 degrees outside),

turned on my music,

and went running.

i went running for about half an hour.

couldn't feel/move my face once i was done

because it was so numb.

but while i was running, i actually felt a lot better

than i thought i would.

of course, once i got home and stopped running,

i felt like complete garbage.

but ya know.

i have goals set in my mind

and i fully intend to keep them.

for some reason,

i feel slightly more motivated this time

than all the other times i've

"had the inspiration".

perhaps it's the fact that i counted

and we only have 7 weeks until we spend a week

in a swimming suit on the beach in Hawaii.

yesss. i can do this.
