Back to Morgan

So it's that time, kiddies. Back to School time! And for the second year, I'm not going back to anything. It kind of sucks. All those years of laying on my couch, reading a crazy amount of fashion magazines in hopes of making a grand entrance into the next school year have rendered me unable to live life in the month of August without the hopes of returning to something. It doesn't help that I live with someone who is going back to school, and work with a lot of people who are going back to school--in fact, it's pretty much my job to help people go back to school, and then listen to them bitch when they decide they hate it.

Therefore, I have declared it "Back to Morgan" time, which means that I am making myself over. I'm not even sure of what this makeover means yet, I just know that changes will be made. So I am going to update the ole blog in an attempt to show myself what I have done and how I have changed. Isn't that a grand idea? Well, it's probably not. But at any rate, it is what it is. And I have decided to keep track of all things related to my outward appearance, so it is on here as well. You can either read it or ignore it.

So here's today's news: I have decided to get up at 6:00 am in the morning, in order to work out in the morning before I come to work. So, today was the first morning. Let's just say that I have now officially worked muscles in my legs that I didn't know I had. In fact, I am quite certain that I only have these muscles available to work at 6:00 a.m. So I came to work with my legs shaking. But that's cool, because I AM BACK INTO THE ANTHROPOLOGIE PANTS I BOUGHT AGES AGO AND HAVE NEVER FIT INTO EXCEPT THIS ONE DAY IN THE ANTHROPOLOGIE FITTING ROOM. So I am happy. Extremely happy. Nevermind that because the pants used to be skintight I didn't bother to hem them and today had to wear my stripper heels to keep them from dragging the floor. Never mind that. But ladies, I am back in them, and that is good. And I know it probably had nothing to do with today's work-out, but because I am back in them, it has made me want to work out more, and eat less. I had freakin' spinach for lunch today. Spinach with balsamic vinegar. And, had it been other day, I would have recoiled from lack of meat, cheese or butter, but because it is today, I ate it with a smile and a big ole glass of water.

So, without further adieu, I give you:
Today's Outfit: FABULOUS brown striped sailor pants from Anthropologie, Luella for Target ivory Victorian shirt, fitted denim jacket, brown/gold stipper heels (seriously--they are stripper heels. I bought them at Frederick's, and use them when I do my strippercise, which is another story for another day. They have a six inch heel and they are FIERCE.)

Make-up: BareMinerals foundation and mineral veil, my beloved Benefit Dallas blush, Sonia Kashuk eyeshadow in neutral territory, Benefit Bad Gal Lash, C.O. Bigelow Mentha Lip Tint in the brown tinted color (not sure the exact name)

Today's Purchases: None, spare a tall coffee at Starbucks (because I might as well make over my finances while I'm at it).

I'll spare you my food log which I am keeping seperately.

God, I'm a geek. But with any luck, I'll be a better looking geek in no time flat!
