The time I published and forgot a title....

Is it me or does time fly faster the older you get. Anymore when I blink the weekend is over, the season is changing and its the end of the year already... wow. According to the weatherman - btw I am so not a fan, Today is the best day for awhile and its not even that great. The rest of the week is supposed to be cold and wet. I know its fall in the Midwest - shush. This weekend was glorious however and I did enjoy it, knowing its possibly the last for a long time.

Saturday was my sister in law's baby shower. It was a good time and the ladies who hosted went all out.  I had picked up my mother and drove her to the shower. That was easier than giving directions or having her follow me out. In hindsight I should have just had her follow me to the shower and drove at a snails pace.

The car ride was pleasant enough, then we arrived at the hostess' house and my mother in true form started in when introduced to my friends. The back story here is a whole other blog post. Right on the dot at 3 she tells me that she needs to go home as her dog has been in the house since noon. So I ask her do you want me to drive you or do you want to drive yourself?  I can have D come get me if you want to drive yourself. She informs me that No, I chauffeured her there I can drive her home.

Saturday night was spent at home watching the DVR and just chilling after the shower and the Mama Drama. I contemplated getting my bottle of Moscoto and not moving for the rest of the weekend and probably would have achieved that goal had I not had to go to the office Sunday and reviewed billing to get it ready to go to the accountant.

After coming to the office Sunday and working on billing I hit the nail salon for a mani and to cut my nails down. They are super short to me as I am used to long nails - I had them cut down to just over the tip of my fingers. though you can't really tell and they still look longer than they are..

D went to the Chiefs game and witnessed 2 world records being broken - the one for loudest sports arena and the other one was for the most flyovers at 1 time. They are also 6 - 0. I am really looking forward to the Broncos/Chiefs game in November. My Broncos are also 6 - 0!

See they really as just over the tips LOL

Raise Your Glass

Well hello Friday - how are you?? Nice to see you again, come sit stay awhile would ya!

I went last night and got my hair cut - when you wear it short you have to keep to regular haircuts or it just looks like hell and fast.. Going next Wednesday for color ;-)

Its shaping up to be a fairly busy weekend ... Saturday is my sister in law's baby shower, should be a blast its her first girl... WHOOP all pink!!! I have a few things I have to pick up for it - food wise - I've been baby shopping for a few weeks weeks now.. Baby girl stuff is soooo cute. Can't wait to meet the newest Princess.

I need to stop in and get my nails done this weekend - they have grown out and the gel just isn't looking that fresh - its been 4 weeks so its time.

I also need to find D and I Halloween costumes for a friends annual Halloween / Birthday bash - this year is a SNL theme... No clues here NONE.

Sunday I have the billing to review for work - every other week baby... I also need to straighten up the house and do laundry. D will be at the Chiefs game. I need to remember to send ear plugs with him - the stadium is going to attempt to reclaim their Guinness Book of Records world title for the loudest stadium.. Kansas City held the record Until September 2013 when the Seahawks took it. We want it back!!!

In other news my town placed 4th in the top ten of hardest working mid-sized cities in the US. Ha we knew that all you had to do was just ask us! In celebration I am declaring lunch today to be double cheeseburger day (nope totally did now need an excuse was gonna anyhow - this just makes it sound better LOL).

Raise Your Glass and have a great weekend!!!

Another Late Night - or a Super Early Morning??

This weekend has not been the best for sleep for me.  Between the abscessed tooth and the fact I am normally a night person I have been up super late every night since Friday night. Last night/this morning I finally went to sleep at 6 am.  Despite that I only slept til 10:30 or so. Thankfully I am still off work Tuesday, but Tuesday night I have to get some sleep.

Monday was a pretty laid back day - which honestly are my favorite kinda days.  I finally made it in for a manicure - it had been 5 weeks. Honestly that is unheard of for me I am there every 2 weeks like clock work. Life has just been that busy.

Pretty sad looking.. 

Those are not my nails but since I can not capture the colors in this polish well at all I had to search the interwebs for a good picture. This polish has quickly become a favorite of mine.  The color changes depending on the light and angle in which you are looking at it. 

After the much needed nail salon trip D and grabbed a late lunch at Houlihan's then headed to the mall to exchange some bra's I purchased. I managed to buy the wrong size twice that's how much of a hurry I have been in and how much stress has been up in my world. I mean seriously who does that? I know my size I remember searching the racks for it and then proceed to purchase the wrong ones TWICE.. 

After the mall we hit a local pawn shop - to shop not to pawn, where I found this little beauty at an insane price - so it had to come home with me.. It is a black and white diamond cross over ring. I have had my eye on a similar one at a jewelry store. 

After that we hit Kohl's where we managed to find D three pairs of jeans. Which is a huge score as it is so hard to find him pants that are ever long enough never mind find 3 pairs that were on sale. At 6'6 when you find pants long enough you purchase all you can find - the sale is a bonus!  

Now I am just sitting here watching the DVR, blogging and having some downtime. Pretty successful day - How was your Labor Day?

Weekend Shenanigans

WOW what a weekend - I actually started mine Thursday at noon..  I ran some errands then headed home to unwind and watch trash tv.  That evening I picked up antibiotics for lil man and ran them over to his mom and hung out with them.

Friday I slept in a bit and just hung out. Puttered around the house, surfed the net watched TV (yeah there's a theme here it was my weekend to just be, D was out of town on his annual boys fishing trip).

6 ish I met up with my sister in law, nephews and my mother and father in law for dinner at the Olive Garden - which at that point in time I remembered that I had forgotten to eat that day. (Actually happens often lol)

Friday night I grabbed the laptop loaded a DVD into it and cleaned out the closet and my dresser I have 4 huge bags of things that are now too big destined for Goodwill.. Holla. I will admit however to looking at the clock at 11 pm and thinking WOW its 11 on Friday night and I am cleaning closets LAME.  I finally went to bed about 2 am.

Saturday the alarm went off at 8 am and I lounged in bed til 8:30 then up and got ready to meet a friend of mine, we had plans to go into downtown KC.  We had a good time lots lots of laughs.  I came back home about 1 ish ordered some Jimmy Johns watched Friends with Benefits that had been on the DVR waiting on me forever.

Early Sat evening I got a call from Peep asking me why her Aunt DA was leaving her a voice mail about her Nana and what the hell was going on. I had just left CVS so I went flying to my moms to see what the eff was up. Turns out my darlin mother has an admirer who was stalking her - she had called T-Mobile and asked that they block his phone number. Someone there royally fucked up and blocked ALL incoming calls - I guess my sister has been trying to reach mom all day and couldn't then we no one else picked up their cells she called the police to do a welfare check.. Its funny now - I wasn't amused then as mom wasn't going to call the police at first.

I hung out at my mom's until almost 10 just chatting and Peep and Lil Man had shown up. We had a good time just visiting. I headed home to finish sorting and purging stuff, walked in the house changed into a tank and shorts then back out on the deck where I then proceeded to rip open the bottom of my left foot.  I apologize to the neighborhood children who learned many new words that evening.  I gouged it open pretty good and deep my language matched ;-)

Sunday was my normal errand day. I headed to the office to get my paperwork done as Monday was our billing period then headed to Wal-Mart to get my nails done and the weekly grocery shopping. There's 3 hours of my life gone. Seriously I got to there at 1:30 and did not leave until 4:15.

Next weekend I do believe we are going to DO something. Maybe the piano bar or clubbing. The last few weeks are really starting to sound like we are in our golden years.. Fuck that - its time to paint the town red for a change!

How was your weekend???

And the scale moves

FINALLY!!! With the research I did on the subject I now know its normal to hold or even gain when you first start a workout - your muscles are retaining water and swelling a bit to protect them for the "damage" that you are doing by working. This generally resolves around week 3 and you see the scale move. SO stick with it and don't get discouraged if this is where you happen to be at the moment .. it WILL happen.

Friday I soaked off my pink & whites and had the gel manicure done - not sure if I am leaving them off yet or not - time will tell - while they are not horribly short they are way shorter than I am accustomed to.

Here is before and after - Blogger refuses to let me do them side by so so whatev...

   

2 weeks to go before the 10k

HOLY CRAP!!! I am so not ready.. I have been working out but NOT walking - I have concentrated on yoga, The Shred and weight training.. At the moment I am doing serious bunt kicks to my own ass.  I did go get me a knee brace but that's ALL the prep I have done for this race.

Ok breathe - I have 2 weeks still and can get some walking in during that time.  I already know I won't be setting any PR's for this race - I never expected to.  Those who are walking me can just meet me at the finish line when I drag my ass across it then we can go hydrate and refuel with carbs... Thankfully my sister in law is doing this one with me and she loves me so she won't be out to throttle me! LOL

In other news I have decided to take off my pink & white acrylics and get a get manicure - I will soak them off tonight and get the mani tomorrow. Every since I started taking Biotin and drinking a protein shake every morning for breakfast my own seem to be pretty hearty so we will see. I'll post before's and afters.  I'm looking forward to just relaxing with the TV and soaking these off tonight.  I have worked out every night this week and plan to tomorrow before my nail appt I feel like a night off is earned.
