Weekend Wrap Up!

Happy Monday!

I mostly slept this weekend.

There was some fun sprinkled in.

My alarm went off at 4:30 so I could run 6 rainy miles before my PT session.

I learned some new exercises at PT. I'm doing lunges with the TRX and even starting some Turkish Get Ups! The office was festive due to the fact that it was Cinco De Mayo.

After a very stressful week, I tried to put myself in the proper mind frame so I could get through the work day without having another panic attack. My plan of action:

1. Stay calm.

2. Don't try to be Super Woman.

3. Do. Not. Yell. If I am yelling, something is not right.

I am happy to say work was a lot better even though I had the exact same classes as the day before. I did make one of my 4th grade classes do a boring packet due to the fact that they weren't following directions during our ukulele lesson the day before. I have a feeling after one or two music classes working silently, they will be on their best behavior when I let them give the ukes another shot. And if not? I've got more packets.

I was spent, so after work, I had a margarita, a big salad, and some ravioli. Paul was busy getting ready for the Chili Cook Off the next day, so I took the opportunity to go to bed at 6:30!

This week can bite me.

I woke up refreshed, which is a good thing because it was CHILI COOK OFF DAY! Paul and I headed up to Millersburg bright and early in the morning for the Cherry Blossom Festival's Chili Cook Off.

I kept envisioning what a police officer would say about the contents of our car if we got pulled over!

Paul had a lot of fun watching people sample his chili. He got a lot of compliments! Unfortunately he didn't win, but it was still a lot of fun! We saw lots of friends and family.

 Chef Paul! My mom strung all those peppers!

Mom and dad were so much help setting up the booth!

A local business sponsors each contestant. My mom (Hats By Peach) sponsored Paul!

Aunt Betty and Uncle David stopped by the booth to taste some chili!

 Haley and Mel made "Road Kill Chili" and won People's Choice!

And the winners of Judge's choice were from Riverview Bank!

Tyler brought the kids, so of course I had to do a photo dump of Clementine, Ellie, and Clark!

When we got home, I went to Planet Fitness for a major lifting session and did my PT exercises. While I was there, I smelled a dude with the FOULEST body odor I ever smelled in my life. It was like there were 100 onion subs right up my nose. I seriously almost gagged. How did he not notice how bad he smelled?

That night, we went out for sushi! We hadn't been out to eat in so long, and I wanted to make sure Paul was happy. I felt bad for him that he didn't win any prizes.

For the record, I was drinking sangria, but I felt Paul's beer more accurately described how I felt this past week.

When we got home, I basically went straight to bed...

... and slept for 14 hours. I woke up not feeling refreshed at all. I wasn't motivated to do anything. But I had blogs to write and Colberts to catch up on. So I parked it on the couch with some iced coffee.

Jelly joined me.

Then I had to take Paul to Empire Asian Bistro so he could meet some friends for sushi. I went grocery shopping while he was doing that and then just waited for him in the parking lot.

At this point, I was feeling really shitty. I get depressed sometimes (like everyone) and this was basically a really bad day. I can't even think of a reason I felt so bad.

When I got home, I made myself do my PT exercises but that was it. No running, nothing. I simply didn't want to. I showered, laid out all my clothes for the week, and then parked it on the couch to watch the Sunday morning news shows on my DVR.

This is my "unimpressed with Paul Ryan" face.

I can't think of someone I want to punch in the face more than I want to punch Paul Ryan in the face.

I'm going to wrap this up now or else it's going to get really dark and negative!

Who do you want to punch in the face?
Did you drink a margarita on Cinco De Mayo? I may have one now...
Tell me something fun you did this weekend!
