Weekend Wrap Up!

Good Monday Morning, Readers!

I hope all the moms out there had a FABULOUS Mother's Day!

I do believe parents have the most important job in the world. Thank you, MOTHERS!

Here is how our weekend went down...

It was dreary out for about the fifth day in a row. I was so sick of the rain and chilly weather, but Fridays are still magical. I got up a little earlier than normal so I could squeeze 6 miles in before work. A little extra endorphins never hurt anyone, right? Running in the morning before I start the day just makes me so happy.

Work was... work. Let's just say, there are 18 days of school left!

After work, Paul wanted to go to the gym, so I ended up getting in a pretty good lifting session at Planet Fitness!

Then we went out for our favorite post workout meal... sushi!

DQ is on the way home, so why not???

It was still dreary!!!!! Come on, I need some sunshine! It was warm so I did get to go for an 8 miler in shorts and a tank.

When I got home, I cleaned out all of my drawers and my closet. I keep my clothes in the guest room, so then I house cleaned the guest room! We are systematically going through each room in the house and scrubbing/organizing from top to bottom. It took me about 4 hours to do everything in the guest room but I felt very accomplished by the end!

Note: The scale on the floor is to weigh the cats. I do not weigh myself!!

I feel SO IN CONTROL when I am organized!

That evening, we met some friends at Spring Gate Winery for Derby Day! I was excited to dress up and wear a big hat.

With Randy and Michael, newly engaged! Congrats!!!

These are some lovely ladies that I work with! Did your elementary school teachers look like them? Probably not!!!

Can we talk about those heels? I haven't worn heels FOREVER and generally only wear them for sitting down activities. I was like a baby fawn for the first couple hours but eventually I was able to walk like a normal person. I just could not go to Derby Day in that dress and that hat without THOSE HEELS!

I woke up at 6am and could not fall back asleep. I finally got up and went for a 5 mile run. I was done before it was even 8 o'clock! Then I took my mom and SIL out for breakfast for Mother's Day. I didn't take pictures but I swear it happened! We had so much fun. I love my mom and I love my SIL. Here's a throwback pic of my mom and I from a few months ago.

I had most of the rest of the afternoon to myself so scrubbed our breakfast nook from top to bottom and cleaned/organized the pantry.

Then I met my good friend Bree for a 3.5 mile walk. Again, no pictures, but I swear it happened! Then we went back to my house and I served her cheese. Bree ate brie! Did I blow your mind???? She is growing a baby inside of her. When your friend is growing a baby, you serve then whatever they desire! (Unless it's meth, cigarettes, or scotch.)

The rest of my Sunday was just completing little doodads for the week that are not interesting to tell you about. Not like the rest of my weekend was super compelling but I draw the line at doodads.

Oh wait! I will tell you I have made a serious investment in zucchini, I will be eating zucchini for dinner for the next week, at least!

I'll leave you with some sweet kitty pics! Here is me and Christmas expressing our love...

I swear I am not pulling him, it just looks that way because of his fur.

And here is Jelly's blue blanket. The blanket is normally on our bed. Jelly puts it in his mouth and walks in circles, twisting it up. Well, this weekend he not only twisted it up but he carried it all the way to our basement stairs. What a silly little boy!
