Weekend Wrap Up!

 

Hello! I had an awesome weekend!

Friends, family, and fun!

I slept great on Thursday night! 25mg of diphenhydramine for the win! I was groggy when I woke up and didn’t want to get out of bed, but the first thing I saw when I checked my phone was this meme from my friend:

It made me laugh and instantly put me in a good mood!

I headed to the gym to lift and do my more advanced PT exercises- hip thrusters, split squats, and jump squats. My IT band is holding up, which is still unbelieveable to me.

On the way to work, I treated myself to a large coffee from Dunkin! Treat yo’ self!

It was a dress down day for breast cancer and we were supposed to wear pink. It felt great to be in stretchy pants and my running sneakers!

As I drove up the driveway to our school, 8 deer bounded across the road in front of me! They were beautiful! I was glad I was driving slow.

I'm not sure "dress down" means yoga pants but I didn't care. My schedule was sooooo busy that day and I had to move my classroom chairs several times for chorus. I was dressing DOWN.

Before I teach instrumental lessons in the morning, I have stair duty, which means I stand at the bottom of the stairwell while the students file down to their classrooms. I have started taking whichever instrument I am teaching that day into the stairwell to serenade the kids! It works out well because it brightens the students’ morning and I get some last minute practice on the instrument before I teach the lesson. Good stuff!

Today it was saxophones. I taught a lesson first thing in the morning and one during my lunch. Yes, I teach lessons during my lunch. I know you’re jealous.

My morning classes (2^nd and 3^rd grade) were awesome and I crossed my fingers that the afternoon would go smoothly as well. It was a long one- two kindergarten classes, chorus rehearsal, 2^nd grade, and then 3^rdgrade. The lessons were awesome! I mean, it was a great day, especially for a Friday.

After work, I headed over to the mall to get my haircut and my eyebrows waxed. It was the worst salon experience ever!

When I got home, I was in a sour mood. But I ate some cheese, had some wine, dyed my hair, and calmed down.

From Jefferson Vineyards.

We got this when we went to Charlottesville.

Paul and I ate dinner and watched Colbert. I went to bed on the early side due to a trail run the next day.

This salad is brought to you by Aldi and the color orange.

I woke up early and met some runners in Boiling Springs at the AT for a trail run. My friend Allison was there and we ran together at a sub 10 minute pace! I got 8 miles in total.

I took Paul to the gym and while he was there, I ran a bunch of errands. I felt so accomplished! I even almost got a flu shot but the pharmacy had run out. Perhaps tomorrow.

Guess where!?

Hint: I needed a basket, so I went to the brown aisle.

That afternoon, we went to Tyler and Debby's fall party. It was wonderful to reconnect with my family!

Sunday morning buddy!

This morning, I met Allison at Pine Grove Furnace State Park for a run on the AT! I sure am getting in lots of trail miles and lots of gabbing with Allison this weekend! We did 8 miles total and my back felt AWESOME!

That afternoon, we went to Andrea and Derrick's baby shower! They are welcoming a new little one into the world this December. The party was fun and I am so happy for Andrea and Derrick. They are going to be awesome parents, and from the way it looks, the baby is already so loved by so many people!

 ISN'T ANDREA BEAUTIFUL!!!??????

What were you up to this weekend?
