After yesterday’s festivities, Simeon and I awoke with a pumpkin hangover and needed to seek solace the only way we knew: hair of the dog! So you know my day is already off to a great start. Then throw in the explosion of endorphins that can only be released after a shopping spree, and I am RAWRing to go.

Last night Sim and I came to know the wonderful thing that is the Nike Employee Store. I had been like a decade ago (not an exaggeration, I am just that old) but nothing could have prepared me for the miracle that is clothing that is CURRENTLY in store at 50% (or more) off retail. It’s absolutely faaaabulous. So we stocked up. Although we didn’t take the second cart our Nike contact, Dalt, recommended, and I was able to keep my hands off the Cole Haan’s, we came away with one very full bag.

Now I am hoping this was the push I needed to get me back into exercise mode. I have some adorable shoes, fabulous socks, a vented shirt, and a whole new attitude about exercise. Why didn’t I think about this before? I understand that “new” makes things exciting. I love getting out of bed and jumping into the shower when I have new toiletries to try out. I get excited about work when I have a new sophisticated blazer to wear. Why wouldn’t it work for physical fitness? Well, I am hoping it does. But then again I would be equally cute wearing my new attire while watching TV, right?
