I would do anything, spontaneously…

Last weekend’s adventures were amazing. Here’s a peek into our girl’s day:

That’s me in the middle, with 12 of my closest girlfriends!

This week, however, was what my co-workers and I affectionately call “Hell Week.” It’s one of our busiest work weeks in the entire week, which meant I spent quality time at my desk, called my desk my “bed” twice, and ate the following foods: Indian, Thai, Chinese, Mexican, Thai again, and last night, had Dino Nuggets.

When I was a kid, my fave meal (which probably could explain my chubby preteen years) was chicken and fries. Last night, after the longest.week.ever, after 9-10 pm quitting times, I had dino nuggets and fries for dinner. (This time, though, I used organic ketchup, don’t worry.) Jeff and I watched House Hunters until they started repeating. It was an excellent Friday night.

Today brings basketball with B and my favorite 5 year olds, followed by giving blood with MAC. It’ll be the second time I’ve attempted to give blood in Cali, but seeing as I have been more persistent in taking my iron supplements, I think for once I’ll be able to give.

Today will probably also involve a Target run so I can get some supplies for the next adventure: Vegas next weekend to celebrate Corelyn’s birthday! I can’t wait.

I hope y’all are doing something stellar today!

blistered feet, as your spinning round my mind…

Well folks, I took a two day break, which was mostly uncalled for, so to make up for it I made myself get up on a Saturday morning to run. I was two days behind! It’s like I screwed up the whole training schedule and I’ve only just begun! To make sure I went (and he went, too) Scott this time said he’d pick me up. (We were supposed to run together on Tuesday, and on Wednesday we had a six-am yoga date, and I was stood up both times.) 7:57, Saturday morning, and he was downstairs, ready to go.

The result? Always run with a buddy. I ran my mile in 13:00 flat, at a .5 incline (because Lauren told me too, and there are only 2 people in the world that can boss me around: Lauren, and my sorella.)

My fastest mile yet, at an incline too. And my iPod was on my team this morning, too. So, even though I went to bed at 1:00 am after another successful pizza night, I think it was worth it.

Today includes: bball with my five year olds, archery with my ladies, a few hours of getting stuff done and then a girls’ night in. I cannot wait.

Five Good Things.

1. This photo of the watering hole in El Portal, from WFR training.

2. It’s Friday, and sunny, and warm.

3. Basketball finals tomorrow. My babies are so excited, I could cry. They’ve beat a team they never had, and we’ve beat both of the other teams….victory?

4. Taxes will be done after this weekend, and while I am not looking forward to the doing, and I am looking forward to the done.

5. Work is finally, finally, finally calming down. And an adventure next weekend with Lauren. And a cruise in 2.

Happy Friday, Happy Spring, chickas. Love you all.
