It’s gorgeous running weather and gorgeous scenery in Orange County right now. I had to stop and smell take pictures of the flowers.
I ran 13 miles while listening to Andy’s Cohen’s new book Superficial. It’s literally just his diary and just day-to-day stuff but is super entertaining.
He talks about work – including famous people he’s interviewing on WWHL,
the real housewives – sometimes with behind the scenes drama,
his parents – his mom is adorable and strong willed and I love her
his dog Waka – who is biting people! He is a rescue that needs training.
his super fancy vacations – including a week on a yacht with super rich & famous people including one of the Olsen twins
food – he lives in New York and every now and then talks about grabbing a slice of pizza at the end of the night… which has me picturing amazing NYC style pizza – that’s hard to find around here.
So all the pizza talk had me on a mission to have thin crust pizza this week. I was going to go out for pizza with a friend, but that fell though. So I hit up the grocery store to see what my frozen pizza options were. I ended up looking at every single frozen pizza option one by one for the longest time.
I’m sure the employees at Ralph’s think I’m a complete weirdo. They always ask me if I need help because I spend hours and hours walking up and down the aisles looking at everything as if I’ve never been to the store before in my life. But I like going to grocery shopping! I think I should start a grocery shopping service in the OC for people who don’t have time or hate it. Shark Tank.
Anyway.
I got into a discussion with the cutest lil grandma lady about frozen pizza. She said she likes the frozen pizza from Alberston’s (store brand). Her daughter was taking her shopping and helping her pick one. It was the cutest thing ever.
But I decided to just got home and order a pizza and try to lure Cindy to come over and hang out. I went with Domino’s Brooklyn style pizza.
Vegas went with sitting in a box.
I am also in need of a haircut but decided to get a blow-out first to see if I just might need my bangs trimmed and some inspiration to actually do my hair…
I need to learn how to do my hair beachy waves style. I kind of had it all pushed together so the curls look tighter in this picture so it’s not a great representation, but I really loved how it looked. I know I need a flat iron to get this look but I don’t own one and am super loyal to my hot rollers so we’ll see.
I think you’re supposed to make a blow-out last a few days but I don’t know how a runner girl would do that. I have a lot of hair so I can’t just put it in a loose bun to run.
I ran on Sunday morning and did my hair in the usual braids. Then, I put it up to take a shower. Post-shower I took it down and it was pretty straight – my hair doesn’t like to hold a curl. So, I put the hot rollers in it to give it a boost and it came out okay – but does not look like a blowout.
I walked by Old Navy after I left the Blow Dry bar and saw they had a crazy sale – 40% off EVERYTHING in the store. Everything.
So I walked in because I need shorts. Well, a few tops fell into my hands and my Guardian Angel was probably trying to teach me a lesson because this morning when I went to put on one of my new tees I realized the security tag was still on it!!?! Boo.
(I just checked and the 40% off sale ends today & is online too. It’s automatically applied – no discount code needed.)
The moral of the story is:
I shouldn’t buy things I don’t need.
I should buy a flat iron because I do need to curl my hair in beachy waves.
If I order a huge pizza I’m going to eat it all within 19 hours. (And this is Andy Cohen’s fault)
I should open a restaurant that sells donuts & pizza or donuts as big as a pizza.
Your hair looks great in both of those pictures!
Best thing I ate this weekend: East Indian food (both Saturday and Sunday… and yesterday) and chocolate almonds. And wine lol.
Ran long on Saturday which was good! Nothing too crazy, just felt good 🙂
I love when a run just feels good! That’s why we do it 🙂
Went to Daffodil Hill on Friday and it was beautiful. Then hubby and I had lunch and ice cream. Then we bought $80 worth of meat at a local meat company. Tri tip for the win!
Oh man – if Dominos is the closest you can get, you definitely need some NYC pizza!
Seriously. There are super fancy OC places that have super expensive pizza but it’s not OG NYC, ya know?
I didn’t run because I live in Florida and it’s already too hot for me to handle (I moved here from Massachusetts, so this heat kills me). I ate WAY TOO MUCH good food this weekend including some yummy shrimp pasta. We went to Fort Lauderdale beach on Saturday and I managed to float around in the ocean for about an hour with my daughter, so that was the best thing I did. Oh and I drank some yummy beer. That’s the best too.
I actually ran on dry pavement this week-end…well mostly dry….meaning I wasn’t slipping on ice and snow! And I just wanted a hamburger with french fries! I haven’t had that in soooo long and it was soooo good.
Love your hair! It always looks great. I can’t do my hair either and I do have a flat iron.
Should try the Beachwaver. Expensive, but so easy to use! Love it!
I have a straightener and I can’t figure out how to do that to my hair! I use this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00N18RIAS/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and I really like it!
My running was pretty sucky this weekend. You would think I know better than to have 3 drinks the night before a long run. Blah!
I’m sorry, I wasn’t listening… I was staring at that pizza…
Ha! I know, I want more…
I made and ate sweet potato and black bean tacos every night this weekend, so tasty!
I LOVE your hair like that!
Best thing I ate this weekend was homemade pizza. But you’re right, nothing comes close to the NYC pieces!
I went to visit a town called Nauta in the middle of the Amazon this weekend which was a lot of fun! We drank beers outside in the sun and chowed down on parrillada 🙂
A Cinnamon Cannoli Donut was the best thing I ate this weekend. That was the last day the store was selling the donut because they’re discontinuing it 🙁
I need to hear more about this donut.
I should try the flat iron to curl my hair. Hmmm….. Always just though it was to straighten hair, which mine is stick straight and very fine/thin. I’ll have to google this.
I’m trying, and it’s hard, to not eat really delicious foods right now. Because we know if it’s really delicious, it’s probably not super healthy. Why, you ask? Well, because I’m injured. Big Boo! I hurt my back and start PT this Wednesday. I’m hoping it’s a quick fix because the weather is perfect for running and I’m missing out on all the fun … and getting fat!
My cat (Nya) will sit in a box too if it’s new. What’s with that?
Come to visit NYC! Stay with me and I’ll make sure you eat all the best pizza we have. Denino’s and Pats are 2 places right here in Staten Island that have famous for their awesome slice. Thanks for the quick review of Andy Cohen’s book. I’m always looking for new audiobooks.
I didn’t run this weekend because I’m injured but my boyfriend’s daughters made funfetti cupcakes decorated with an under the sea theme (blue fluffed up icing to look like water and little fish sprinkles. I had 2 cupcakes yesterday so that was most definitely the best EAT of my weekend.
I’m in your injured boat. No bueno! Those cupcakes sound wonderful! I hope you post a picture on your blog.
The best thing I did this weekend was enjoying the sun! It was nice out on Saturday and Sunday, it cheered me up so much.
