I love watches

I am lusting after:


Drool. It's so big. And it looks amazing on my wrist. But I already have a smaller version of this with the most beautiful blue strap, which I have to special order because the leather is worn out. Last time it took them 3 months to get me the strap. I don't know how long it will take this time around. The blue of my strap is my favorite color and i'll be sad if Cartier tells me they don't make it anymore. I've never seen that blue on anybody else or on any other Cartier watch for that matter. I also need to get a new battery for it. I can't find a picture of it in my iPhoto, but it has made an appearance on this blog before.

And while I was in Hong Kong, I took one of my dad's watches, which is this one:

It's nice and big for my wrist. It does this thing where you push the face to the side, and it reverses to protect it, revealing a gold backplate (is that even the correct term? Lol!). It works great for polo, because you protect the face of your watch. I love big watches, and I love men's watches. Plus, having something of my dad's so close to me, makes me feel good. It's one of his favorite day-time watches, but since he loves watches as much as I do, he has a whole lot more where this came from. It doesn't look manly on me at all, in fact, it looks very classic.

I'm not into jewelry, and I can't wear earrings without getting an allergic reaction. Cheap rings leave me with an itchy rash. So I stick with timepieces. Hopefully i'll be able to afford my own collection one day!

Yesterday I went for a 2 mile run. Well...that's not exactly the truth. I ran the first mile at a 9:00/mile pace and then ran out of breath because that pace is way too fast for me, and I haven't been running in exactly two months. So then I ran walked the second mile. My muscles were definitely not used to it anymore I got an annoying side stitch. Ha! I really need to get back into it, and this was a good start.
