Weekend Wrap Up!

GUYS, THIS IS MY 700th BLOG POST! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? I post every day. That does not mean every post takes hours to create or is super thought provoking or bookmark worthy. But I hope the "fluff" is balanced out with a little bit of humor and a handful of actually thoughtful, well though out posts.

Anyway, thanks for reading! I know this is a tiny little blog and all I talk about sometimes is cats and puzzles... but that is my truth, so that is what you get. :)

I did not have a great week at all. By Friday, I was finally feeling human again. And I was excited because that morning, something EPIC was going to happen!

I went on my first run in 12 days You can read about it here. (Scroll to the bottom!)

That evening, we had my parents over for their Christmas dinner. (Making them dinner was one of their Christmas presents and we finally gave it to them!) Of course I didn't take any pictures because we had such a blast laughing and joking around the whole time!

When they left, I was exhausted. We watched two episodes of Survivor: Micronesia (Fans vs. Favorites from 2008). I am hating the season. I don't even want to finish it. If anyone who is really into Survivor reads my blog, you should email me and we can geek out together talking about Survivor!

I slept until 12:30 pm on Saturday afternoon. That's right. By the time I woke up, there was a Royal Baby! I am not too into the royal family, but I do think if I could get Will and Kate into street clothes and get a drink or two in them, they would be fun to have over for a game night!

Due to my pirimormis, the day's workout was going to be lots of walking and a chest session at Planet Fitness. It is sort of weird... "chest" is one of those muscles I don't really see on myself. It's just not one of those muscles where I look in the mirror and say, "Dang, look at my chest popping." 

That evening, we went out to eat with Paul's parents. We sat on the deck at TJ Rockwell's and laughed it up for an hour or two. I got a grilled Rachel, and it was DIVINE. I love Rachels. Since the portion sizes are huge and I wanted to have a yummy snack later, I boxed up half my Rachel. But I forgot it on the table. When we got to the car, I realized I forgot my box and literally ran back over to the table we were at. We were only gone two minutes but they had cleared off out table and threw my boxed sandwich away! I was so sad and pissed! Surely there should be a 5 minute grace period on boxed up food! They could still clear the table, but set the food aside just for a couple minutes. We really had only been gone 2 minutes. Ugh. If you want to piss me off, waste my time... or throw away my food.

After dinner, Paul and I went bopping around Marshall's and TJ Maxx. I got what I call "vacation purse"! 

It was only $14.99 and it is semi stylish, very practical, and is going to fit a lot of stuff in it. That way when we are exploring Santa Fe and San Diego and all that jazz, we can fit tons of stuff in my purse. Cameras, water, phones, snacks... OH MY WORD I CAN'T WAIT FOR VACATION! (Oh, and we are totally going to get a standard sized SUV for our rental car instead of the cheapest option. I know I will look forward to driving much more if I can sit up and be comfortable. Thanks everyone for your suggestions on that one!)

Oh hey, I figured out an outfit to wear those ugly/stylish shoes I got!

I love grabbing Jelly's butt!

I guarantee you I was saying, "I GOT YO BUTT!"

Despite getting horrible sleep the night before, I was in a surprisingly good mood when I woke up early Sunday morning. I lifted back, then went for a 5 mile walk while Paul played disc golf. It was gorgeous and I had pod casts. I would have rather it been a run but I am playing it safe. I am also foam rolling the shit out of my butt!

We went to the grocery store and my cereal was on sale for $1.99!!!
I got all they had!

That afternoon, me, Paul, and our friend Jen went to Theater Harrisburg to see The Addams Family Musical. Our friend Randy was in it and he played Uncle Fester. He is so freaking talented! The show was hilarious and I enjoyed it a lot, even though I had no clue what to expect.

Um, if there is an opportunity to get a picture with Lurch,

you get a picture with Lurch.

After the show we got food and drinks at Arooga's downtown.

Randy cleans up well, doesn't he?

It was gorgeous out, so we parked in City Island and walked everywhere. I am glad we did! It was wonderful to be out and about!

Aren't I a lucky gal!?

It was sandal weather, which meant I had to get out my nail polish and paint on some fake toenails!

And the Weekend Wrap Up would not be complete without a puzzle update... Remember this 1,000 piece puzzle I started?

I tried for almost 3 weeks...

I am back to 500 piece puzzles. I got a new one from Dollar General. But it is defective!

Look, two corner pieces!

 

Were you able to get out and enjoy the weather?
When was the last time you went to the theater?
Do you have real toenails or do you paint on fake ones?
