Weekend Wrap Up! (Part 2)

 

Happy Tuesday!

Here's part one of my wrap up!

Let's see what we were up to the rest of the weekend...

I woke up feeling a little better than the day before. My headache was gone, but I was still very tired and had a scratchy throat. Then I got my period, great. I wish there was a way to NOT get you period without taking birth control pills and not going through menopause. Is that too much to ask!!??

I'm not one to lay on the couch and wallow, so I went to Zumba. ZumbawithCat is THE BEST instructor in the area. She is so positive. Her routines give me a great workout, and the combinations are just hard enough that I have stay on my toes yet still able to do them. I don't go to Zumba often enough to memorize the routines, but I can tell a lot of other women have them down pat.

Then I went to the gym and ran 3 miles on the treadmill. My back hurt, but it was the kind of backache from my period, not from something else. I had the guts to do happy baby pose at the gym. I guess I really don't care what people think of me...

Then I went home to relax. I watched some of John McCain's funeral and heard this quote from one of his favorite books. I love it.

Suddenly, I realized I had $20 Kohl's cash to spend that day. That's FREE MONEY!!!! So off I went to Kohl's. I had no clue what I was looking for, so I tried a lot on...

I liked this dress. It was only $10, but I did not need it.

I wanted to like this dress but it was so big and boxy! And it was a small!

Now I'll show you what I got...

Regularly $14, got for $7

Regularly $39, got for $16

How awesome will this look with black, grey, or navy leggings.

I can wear my high black boots or grey ankle boots.

In the winter I can wear a cardigan over it.

Regularly $30, Got for $9

I ended up only spending $12 for the shirt, earrings, and the perfume! I needed to find a new scent to alternate with what I normally wear- Paris Hilton's Can-Can. I LOVE CAN-CAN but wanted another scent that wasn't as fancy smelling.

Later that afternoon, Paul and I drove to a brewery that was out in the middle of nowhere... aka, Newport! Our friend Hayley works at Riverbend Hop Farm and Brewery and Paul wanted to try their beers. He enjoyed a sampler, then had one of their IPAs and something with blueberry in it. I tried two local wines from Olivero's and Hunters Valley.

There were chickens just chilling!

We ate junk from the food truck! But at least we shared it! The junk was DIVINE... pork bbq, mac and cheese, coleslaw.

My morning was lazy, but then I was a worker bee the rest of the day. I ran 3 miles and did an EPIC deck of cards workout! After that, it was OPERATION BIRTHDAY PARTY! I did yard work, tidied up the house, and set up the back yard for Clementine's 4th Birthday Party. It took me nearly four hours but it turned out really well!

Everyone arrived at 4:30 sharp! We ate pizza, talked, and laughed and laughed. I love my family!

She's the birthday girl!

 My fam!

 Ellie and Clementine

 Julian and Paul

 Freaking Clark!

 FOUR YEARS OLD!

 Grandpa's shorts match Clark's diaper!

 Debby and her sister Suzy

Oh, Ellie!

~ MONDAY ~

Here we go, as usual, I am phoning in the last day of my wrap up! I had a terrible night sleep due to a runny nose all night. I woke up feeling tired, hot, and with sinus pressure. 

This is how my sicknesses go:

Day 1- Headache/sore throat and fatigue

Day 2- Sore throat and fatigue

Day 3- Feeling a lot better

Day 4- Sinus problems, hot, fatigue

What will Day 5 bring!?

I ran 3 miles and did a deck of card workout in my carport. It was so hot and humid.

Then I went to my friend Andrea's house for "Girls Day"! I did not take any pictures though! WHY!? I guess because we were jibber jabbering too much!

Oh, I signed up for a race. Now I have a race for the next two weekends! More about that soon...

I was so tired when I got home that I had a small dinner and went to bed. I took a sleeping pill. I'm not messing around.

What perfume do you wear?
Any races coming up?
What were you up to on Labor Day?
