Win, Place AND Show !!!!

Yesterday, our hospital had the wrap up for our latest fitness challenge. The idea was to walk 7500 steps per day for 6 weeks, ending up with 315,000 steps. I have been a runner for 38 (gasp) years, so this is right up my alley. Well, I am not the only runner in town - I came in third place. One of my coworkers logged over a million steps in the time period. Second place logged over 800,000, and yours truly clocked in with 715,000. So here's my prize :

A bronze medal, of course!!! Now I have all three - gold, silver and bronze!!!

They also raffled away other prizes, and I ended up with this:

My friend didn't want it, but I did!!! It's called a camel back and it's a hydrating system for bikers and hikers. The tubing connects to a bladder that goes inside a backpack. When you need a drink, you just sip out of the tubing. Here's what the inner bladder looks like:

 

 

After that, I had a delicious lunch of chili with cheese, onions and tomatoes, carrots, and Brussels sprouts. They also had a make your own trail mix display where we could mix up our own concoction.

 

 

 

It was yummy!!! But let's move on to something REALLY important - What is Rosie wearing today?

This cute, simple, comfy dress is from Victoria's Secret catalog. I have had it for years. It's a sweater knit, with pointelle details. Here are two closeup views.

The open weave makes it mandatory to wear black undergarments. At first, I forgot and put on my everyday nude bra, but that was quite a show, so I changed to black. the key to this look is the jewelry - a gob of sapphires set in gold. First, a long necklace

Then, a shorter version to fill in the neckline.

Incidentally, the dress has a cute scalloped trim at the neckline, which you can see here. My arms are likewise loaded down. On the left, a diamond tennis bracelet, a sapphire bracelet, and a London Blue topaz ring.

On the right, two more sapphire and diamond bracelets, and a matching ring.

And now for the kicker !!! Cherie at www.stylenudge.com is hosting Shoe and Tell, so I busted out a pair of awesome shoes that don't get a lot of lovin'.

They are perfect for this getup. They are made by BCBG girls. Aren't they awesome??

There are two other linkups going on today. Lovely Rachelle at www.pinksole.com is hosting How I Spring, and this is how I do it. Also, Rhea at www.rheaetcetera.com is hosting Style to Inspire. I am desperately trying to inspire you all. Check these fun links out!!

For a parting note, one of my other friends sent me this.

One of his neighbors wrote to Cesar Millan about his dog who attacked other dogs, so the Dog Whisperer came out to help. The show will air in 2016. Isn't that the coolest??
