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 !!!!!!!!!!!!!

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