Labor Day

Aren't holidays the greatest? We easily could have stayed inside all day, but sometimes I get anxious when we sit around for too long, so we made sure to get out tonight. I'm so glad we did.

This morning I had a run scheduled. I walked out to my usual starting point out by the river, and noticed there was an unusually large amount of people running. I didn't think too much of it until I was being offered water and people were telling me I was doing a great job running at certain points throughout. I was running along with a Labor Day 10k! I was so embarrassed. I got so many funny looks, especially from the runners smart enough to run the opposite direction to differentiate themselves from those in the race (besides the giant obvious numbers taped on their bellies). I don't know if I was more embarrassed to be running in the middle of the race or sad that I didn't know about it! Ok I do know. More embarrassed. But I do wish I would have known about it.



Had to squeeze in a little Honey Boo Boo today. We get the biggest kick out of this show. Is it for real?!




Had some red lipstick put on in Bloomingdales. What do you think?! I'm tempted to buy some.


For dinner we ate at the famous Serendipity. I have been wanting to eat here since we moved here but we've never been brave enough to wait the hour plus. We did it and it was so worth it. Derek was excited to check off another bucket list item. :) He's not quite as crazy about doing 'all the things' as I am.




Do you see how close our table was to the edge?! It was a little discomforting, but we braved it out. Glad we did, because after dinner we went home, rented the movie Serendipity, and turns out they were sitting at the same table! Awwww, right?!


And for the phone pics... I couldn't get them bigger without them going blurry, so here you have it.
**The picture of the receipt... Our waiter circled the suggested gratuity. Really?!

    1. I don't know if the movie made it popular or if it was popular before but they eat there in the movie called serendipity. It's a really cute movie! And they have the yummiest frozen hot hoc plate and other frozen drinks.

    2. That was supposed to say hot chocolate but my phone wasn't letting me erase anything.

  2. I think I would have asked for a different table unless the thing was nailed to the floor. Looks like you had a great holiday! Ours was rather relaxing too considering it was the last day before school started... I hate it when they wait this long! But I made bread and that was fabulous. Very therapeutic.
