Blah ~

It's Wednesday !! 1/2 Way DONE !!

This week has been a long one already for me - I started out with alot of energy - got to the gym bright and early on Monday morning - 5:45am - got a mile in on the eliptical and another mile on the treadmill - felt great - except for the weather on Monday - kinda a bummer. Yesterday was a drag really not super busy at work - my mom expressed interest in going to the gym with me...so I was psyched to have a buddy - and then about 3pm SHE BAILED on me - I went anyway - got 3miles on the treadmill - SHE is promising to go today - We'll See !!!

Jeff is dealing with his knee problem - which seems to be getting better - but now he is sick - really sick - sore throat, runny nose - a mess ! I made him go to bed at 8pm last nite - loaded him up w/Nyquil and Afrin - I hope I don't get it !!

All in all this week has been kinda BLAH so far -

As for today - kinda in the pits a little - a bit sad - Today; Jan. 27th would have been my Bella's Birthday - She would have been 7 years old -

AAAHHH I MISS HER !

Case of the Mun-Dayz -

This is what I felt like doing all day today :

I however, was not the lucky one......DAHMIT !

Horray for Friday !

Finally Friday has arrived....!! What a week - busy at work - went to the gym almost everyday - except today !! :) Feelin good with the work outs - The girls got out and about with some nice play time outside and even a walk - BUT now for the WEEKEND - YAY !!! Here is what we have in store :

Got into work super early this morning; 6am - outta here at 2pm ! Meeting my most awesome friend Nicole for a lil' friday celebration - can anyone guess what that might be !?!?!? ....

Champagne and Pedicures at 3pm - SHOCKER !!

Then the boys will meet us out with some other great friends of ours for a some Friday happy hour and food - Totally Awesome Friday going down !

As for Saturday - no real agenda - cleaning, laundry and touch up paint - I actually might go to the gym on Sat. and also take the girls for a hike w/my mom as long as the weather is nice....

Sat. nite is the annual "Stews n Brews" party hosted by our friends Sean and Andrea - This is the third year -and Sean is in LOVE with this gathering - RULES : you must make a soup or stew (homemade only) each couple must make one and bring it to there house in a crock pot - Then we all hang out - drink some beers and try everyone's soup -

Jeff was on soup duty this year - and I was hired as his soux chef last nite so I prepped all the ingrediants.... He made a Cheddar Vegetable - it turned out pretty good - Can't wait to try all the others !!

Sunday is a home day - lazy day with the girls and the hubby - :)

Then back to doin it all over again.....

I've also decided that I really like going to the gym in the mornings - SO my new workout schedule is Monday AM - Tues. PM - Wed. AM - Thurs. PM - DONE !

This weekend was craziness from the get go !! Work for me last week was chaotic as I tried to prepare for a delayed holiday party; which took place in the city (philly) on Saturday evening. 100 guests at the Moshulu - I planned everything - from coordinating the hotel rooms to the DJ, seating assignments, even down to the desserts - Kinda felt like I was planning my second wedding w/out having to foot the bill (HA!) - although getting down to the wire; I was STRESSED - worrying about all the what ifs, did I do this....blah blah - All in all it turned out WONDERFULLY !!

I have to say, if you ever get the chance to venture downtown, I would Highly recommend dinner at the Moshulu (www.moshulu.com ) one of the top rated restuarants in the city - and it held up to its ratings....food and service were exceptional, which in turn made my life easy for Saturday. A good time was had by all.

Let's just say yesterday was a very lazy day - between the weather and the headache, lots of sleeping and eating was all we did - This week is starting out on a slow foot for me.....can't get into gear just yet.

The girls had a sleepover at grandmom's and were NOT happy to be picked up yesterday - Lulu literally jumped up on grandmom's lap and gave me sad face when I told her we had to go home....they LOVE their grandmom - SPOILED ROTTEN !!

Feelin it !

Day three of workin out and boy o boy - I am def. feelin it ! My legs feel like I rode a horse to and from work each day - my waist feels like I've been doin crunches 24/7 - SORE DAY !! guess thats a good thing though, huh ! Week started out slow; only walked one mile on Monday - outside w/my uncle's dog - then Tues. hit the gym; 2.5 miles and some elipitcal - Wed. gym again for 2 miles and then the bike for 2 - I wanna go today - BUT my legs hurt to shift the gears in my car - OMG - how sad is that !!


I wish the girls could go to the gym with me - startin to notice the chunk of the winter creepin up on them - esp. Lu - she isn't running like she used too....I know she misses it more then I missed the gym though - poor girl - we try to get in about 15min. twice a day but then the lil' footsies are frozen ... Spring will be back soon sweetie, I promise!

I can't wait !

Still CUTE THOUGH even with a couple extra inches.....

Weekend in Review....

Awesome Time !!

So - the snow stopped for our ride to Woodstock - what a plus ! Got up to the cute lil' cabin in the woods around 4:30ish - we were greeted by four very extremely happy friends - who decided to pre-game hard core-- so we had ALOT of catching up to do !!
The drinking and eating began !!! and boy it did not stop all wkend -

On the menu:

Friday nite - Sausage rye melts; Parmasean Lemon Shrimp; Bologna roll-ups; Baked ziti and a homemade "fat free" Cheesecake with cheeries.... mmm - MMM- mmm

Saturday - we started out with some homemade baked breads - zuchinni/pineapple and banana nut - with coffee - then the boys went to town: cream chipped beef on rye - breakfast potatoes w/mushrooms and eggs - then we paused for Bloody Mary's - :)

the day then started out w/chips and dips - spinach hummus w/pita's and veggies - flatbreads w/venison, onions and blu cheese - fried cauliflower - OMG !!

Dinner - Beef brisket that Jamie simmered all day long served with some ridiculous bread .....

Jeff and i had to leave early on Sunday to get home for an appt. he had - AND to detox from all the over eating and drinking we did - but man o man was it worth it !!

GYM BOUND today People !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I swear !

Girls did very well at home with grandmom and Emma - they were extremely happy to see mommy and daddy though - xo

Ants in my PANTS ......

I seriously am so fidgity today - I want it to: ONE - stop friggin SNOWING - and TWO be on the road to our wkend destination already !!! OMG !

We are leaving this afternoon and heading up to Woodstock, New York for a weekend getaway with our bestest friends - and I cannot wait to get there.

This has been planned for a while now - so hence the reason I'm anxious - we rent this super cute cabin in the woods up there in Bearsville, NY - about 10min. from the lil town of Woodstock, last time Jeff and I went was about 2 or 3 years ago for my dear friend, Nicole's birthday - we were her surprise - it was fabulous -

Basically the plan is to hang out in the cabin - with a warm fire roaring - some great food; yummie drinks, and the best company ever !! Games, Laughs and maybe a lil dancing feet will be had. SOOOO - I cannot wait to leave work at 11 today - to head home, pack up and hit the trails -

The girls are having an EXTRA special wkend of there own ... Grandmom is sleeping over tonite at our house w/out Mr. Digs - so can u just imagine the happy faces to know the spoilin time and to have grandmom all to themselves all nite....... and then Emma (friend of ours) is coming to stay on Sat. nite - this should be interesting.

Happy Friday Everyone....here's to a GREAT wkend !!

SEE U LADIES SOON !
xoxo

2010 = Motivation !!!

Happy New Year Blogging world !!

So - I know how bad I ended the year with my blogging - I SUCK ! I did soo good in the beginning of the year and towards Sept. I just pretty much stopped - and I hate that I let that happen - SORRY ! no excuses, either - Life is busy - but ten minutes to jot some some events and details down once or twice a week is NOT that hard - so I'll save u from the list of why I've sucked at this - cuz there are no excuses ............. Here is a better list :

New Year's Resolutions - (in no specific order)

1.) Be a better BLOGGER - and stick with it

2.) Loose 25LBS - and keep it off

3.) Use Coupons at the grocery store -

4.) Take the girls to obedience training

2009 was a pretty good year - Jeff and I had alot of great times - we started our home addition project (still in progress); went to Jamaica - (so-so); enjoyed our fabu friends regularly (yay); and spent some nice moments w/family too - 2010 can only get better !

Girls are great and getting big and more mature as days go by - Life is GOOD ! I promise to not drop the ball on this again - stay tuned for this year's ride.
