I vote for five day weekends and two day work weeks. All in favor say “I”!
This past weekend was great, but !whew! was I a busy girl! Since I was busy doing homework and watching Sunday night TV last night, I didn’t get a chance to do my week in review. I figure now is as good a time as any…
Friday:
At work we had a DDR (Dance Dance Revolution) fundraiser and I volunteered to compete and let me just tell you…DDR is wicked on the quads and calves!!! It was a heck of a workout! I didn’t win but it was a lot of fun and the kids loved it! After work I headed home to get ready for my Gram’s 80th birthday dinner. We held it on a restaurant on a lake and it was a great time. I had the chicken parm which was to die for and a few glasses of much enjoyed wine. Afterwards, my mom, my aunt and I all went to a local tavern for another drink. All in all it was a great night with my family!
Saturday:
Saturday morning I slept in until 9am!!! My awful-horrible-no-good-neighbor didn’t come home Friday night which meant I got to sleep in 🙂 The rest of my morning was full of errands! After almost a month of not food shopping (the situation in my fridge was pathetic) I was finally able to get to Trader Joes for some much needed items. Then I hit up Target and went home to do laundry. It felt really good to get so much done but seriously, I need a maid cause no matter how hard I try, my house aways seems to be cluttered! Later, I decided to go for a run. I can admit I have been a little lazy since my race and it was time to get back on the move. It was a short run, because I had plans and needed to get home, but I did 3 miles @ 9:47 pace and felt pretty good the whole way. Later that night I went out with a friend for another fun night past my bedtime!
Sunday:
I finished up my food shopping (I shop at like three different places) and went down to my parents house. I visited with my Pop-Pop and cut my Mom-Mom’s hair. Then I met up with my mom and we had a nice lunch followed by a very uneventful shopping trip. I was once again unable to find pants that fit me which sucked, but on the upside I did get two new shirts. Afterwards, it was back home for a night full of homework followed by some Sunday night TV.
This week…you guessed it…busy busy! I feel like I have a paper due every week! On top of work and school, I am officially in apartment hunting mode- after two consecutive horrible living experience, I am being fairly picky this time and therefore starting early. Here are my rules: no complex’s, must have on-site parking and a W&D and most important…I do not want to live under anyone EVER again! My lease is up in February which seems like a long ways away but I know it will come quick so I am looking now. Also, I am looking to get back to spin class tomorrow- I really need to get my workouts back on a regular schedule, so I am hoping to get a few runs in this week as well.
Om, so this post was a little all of the place (scattered, a little like me lately!) and kind of whiney (yuck!) so my thank for sticking it out. For now, I will leave you with some photos from my Gram’s party on Friday night:
My Gram with her cake 🙂
My mother and I – everyone thinks she is my sister!
My parents and I ♥
Your mom really looks like your sister 🙂
With such a busy weekend I can imagine you want more days in it.
Good luck on your papers this week and hopefully you do find some time to run.
You’ve been tres busy woman! Loved the pics! I am totally in for a 5 day weekend!!!! 🙂
More weekend and more cowbell!

(In favor of the 2-day work week!)
Sounds busy, but in a good way. Your mom really does look like she could be your sister!
Such a PRETTY picture…wow your Mom looks so young…which is a huge bonus for you!! Busy busy times….but sleeping in to 9am, Oh I wish I wish 🙂 Hubby and I get more done by 9am than most people do the entire weekend.
OK should we start a petition or something I am 333% with you on the 2 day work week…
sign me up! heck, let’s just make everyday a weekend 🙂 sounds like a fun weekend though, glad you were able to celebrate with family.
