Playing hookey, part deux

What are the odds that I would be called for jury duty twice in one year?!? The last time I was called was to the municipal court which apparently doesn't make you exempt from being summoned from the county court. So I went for my service, which consisted of sitting in the jury assembly hall from 8-11AM until they let us go. Sometimes I almost wish my number would be picked so I could see how the process actually works, but I also don't mind having the rest of the afternoon off!

This is what I wore.all items remix'd except belt
top+tank: Old Navy
pants+belt: Gap
shoes: Also
shades: Dsquared
bag: Tory Burch (I have had this tote for 2-3 years and have used it a lot, but this is its first appearance in a remix photo!)

I started the day off right with a healthy and delicious breakfast prepared by my own personal chef, a.k.a. the hubs. Don't you love the heart shaped eggs?

While I was waiting for the bus to take me home (the hubs was unavailable to chauffer me back although he was kind enough to drop me off!), I took some snaps of downtown. We used to hang out here a lot back in the day (probably almost 10 years ago!) but don't anymore. The light rail construction kind of put a damper on the businesses down here and by the time it was completed everyone found someplace else to go!

For the love of the run

This morning I just couldn't bring myself to drive to Memorial and run another loop. So I decided to wait until the sun was almost up and run from home. And I'm glad I did. I just ran until I didn't feel like running anymore, at whatever pace I was feeling, and actually enjoyed it, humidity and all. I guess the concern of keeping a certain time or distance can take the fun out of running. I forgot I like to run after all!And it's kind of cool to see the city in the early morning light.
