Weekend Wrap Up!

Boo hoo, it's back to work after 12 days off. Not complaining, just sad to be back to the grind. I really enjoyed all the time at home with Paul and the kitty cats, as well as seeing my family a lot more than usual. Let's hope this winter goes FAST! I am hopeful it will.

Fun fact: I get insomnia over Christmas break, too! Thursday night was my second night (not in a row) of not being able to fall asleep. I was up until 2am and had to get up at 6:30am to run.

The reason for such and early morning run was my chiro appointment at 8:50am. Normally he is running late and I have to wait 20-25 minutes past my appointment time until he sees me. Today I was the third appointment of the day and only had to wait 4 minutes. Woohoo!

I was extremely tired all day and wasn't much fun at all. Picture a rag doll. That was me. I still managed to meet my girlfriends for lunch and have my parents over for a quick, impromptu dinner. They brought over a secretary for me that used to be in my grandparent's house. It is beautiful, and I am so happy to have something to remember their home by.

I fell asleep on the basement couch immediately after whooping Paul's but in Jeopardy. Lack of sleep really messes me up!

I slept extremely well on Friday night (score!), but woke up to hail and freezing rain. No running for me. Instead, I did a HIIT(ish) workout in my carport. I will give you all the deets on that in my "Weekly" Workout Recap in a few days.

That day, we were celebrating Christmas with my dad's side of the family. We ordered pizza (it's been the tradition for as long as I can remember), exchange gifts, and then just hung out for the rest of the day. I love my family!

Auntie Eileen (whom I take after), Aunt Patti, and Grandma.

My brother and his daughter, Clementine. (I caught her mid whimper.)

Tyler just got his wisdom teeth out the day before, hence the chipmunk cheeks.

Games with the cousins!

That's me in the purple beret. My cousin got it for me. It is from Paris and I love it!

This winter, I will be known as "The Girl in the Purple Beret".

The cats were a little pissed that we left them home all day long and missed their 4 o'clock feeding. (They also get fed at 5am, 11am, 9pm, and a nighty-nighty, so despite their dramatics, they were not STARVING.)

So disgruntled.

Sunday was the most depressing day ever. It was rainy and foggy, my run sucked, I had to clean the whole house and put away all the Christmas decorations... and I had to go to work the next day, which meant I would surely have trouble sleeping that night.

Oh, and at some point this weekend, this happened:

I will leave you with a picture of my three boys from earlier in the week...

Tell me something fun about your weekend!
