Rocky

I forgot to tell you that I ran a 5K the other day, which was my third 5K since I have moved to LA. I had signed up months ago because there was an early bird special going on. I meant to tell my friends about it so they could join me, though I forgot that I had signed up until about a week before the race when I received a reminder email. It was at this point that I realized I would either be running this race alone or not running at all. So as you already know, I ran the race alone...well not really alone, there were 8,000 other runners but I was a stranger to them all. I figured it was better to run the race by myself and have a new experience (it was at night and it was a glow-run) than to not race at all (plus, I'm cheap and already paid for it.) For those of you who are unaware, a glow-run is a run at night that is lit by blacklights and they throw colored powder at you, so you glow all crazy colors. So basically the Color Run but at night and with blacklights. Since it ...

As I previously mentioned, I ran a 5K the other day. I ran the whole time without stopping, which is an accomplishment for me. And yes, all pictures taken during the race were taken while I was running haha. So don't judge my photo compositions too much. What is a Color Run? Well, since you asked... basically you run a normal 5K, and along the way there are color stations you run through where they cover you with color. If you have ever seen a or been a part of Holi , the holiday that celebrates color in India, you will have a good idea of type of color they use. It's this fine powder colored in bright brilliant colors.  There are 5K Color Run races all over the US and they choose different local charities to support. The charity this last weekend was a rehabilitation center for those who are recovering from physical trauma. Following the race there was a little dance party and color toss.

So I actually made a completely different blog post earlier about cute stuff. Literally. Then I decided to post that later on and to tell you about my weekend instead. I already told you about Thursday being our Passover Dinner and how some friends and I went to First Friday, though my weekend didn't end there. Saturday I spent a lazy day going to Second Chance Thrift Store off of Troost (don't worry I wasn't alone.) Then we went to the magical Blackwell Thrift, where everything is not sorted by product by rather by color. Aw, it's wonderful. Rows of clear glass followed by rows of blue glass then amber and then silver. Ceramics, glasses, utensils, skillets, mincers, jewelry and much more. Oh and did I mention there is a room of mirrors and a picture room with cigar boxes. After my seizure of excitement we decided to walk around the plaza which was amazing considering the weather was gorge. That evening a group of friends (almost all the same people as First Friday) we...
