31 more days… is that right?
busy, busy, busy – that’s all i have to say… i have a feeling it will be like this until november 22, so please bear with me… i DID get in a great 45-minute walk in today – perfect weather here in DC so i took advantage and hit the streets! yay me! 
anyway, there’s much to do but feel free to check-out pics from my bachelorette party and bridal shower… had an awesome weekend!
happy monday…

So on my walk home from the metro yesterday, I managed to fall on the sidewalk not even a block from the house… I scraped both knees, both palms, and my chin – what am I? Six? I hobbled home and didn't let the tears fall til I walked thru the door – Eric didn't know what was going on… He took care of me though – cut off my pantyhose, washed the wound, slathered it with neosporin, and bandaged it up… I feel like an idiot and am thankful this didn't happen the week of my wedding… I'd be hobbling down the aisle!
Needless to say, I hurt everywhere and managed to last until 1:00 at work… Am headed home to take some pain pills, have some soup, and park my ass on the couch…
Happy tuesday – not!

Ahhhh
We’ve had a mix of good and bad weather so far – it poured the night we got here so I’m thankful that our bed is in the back of the truck. Beach was great yesterday – saw porpoises jumping out of the water! Today, it’s been cool and cloudy so we ran a few errands (beer and food) and Eric’s in the process of making a fire so we’ll enjoy reading for a while. Happy Monday…

Cereal? Please!
We’ve had rain every day so far… Let’s hope the weather improves! At least we have lots of food and drink!

well hello there
oh, how i LOVE my iphone… not sure why i waited so long but considered AT&T gets NO service in the metro, that’s one problem i have to deal with… i used to have verizon but luckily sometime this fall – they will be working on having more carriers in the tunnels so i opted to go ahead and buy one now… yea, it’s the most i’ve paid for a phone but i’ve been really good lately (no more weekly target visits) and thought it was time to treat myself… anyway, i haven’t downloaded any apps yet but will sit down this weekend and see what’s out there – anyone have apps they really love?
things have been crazy at work – my boss is on vacation and i had to work on some rather important web stuff today… it wasn’t going well at one point and i felt so helpless (i believe a few tears were shed) – not knowing and understanding something really gets me down, but i did my best… hopefully things will still be functioning when i get into work tomorrow…
wedding stuff is going, as good as can be expected… i made another dress appt. for sunday, and will try to get one more in before we go on vacation next week… we spoke to the pastor on monday night so that part is in the works – reception sites are still being considered but there’s not much i can do until we nail down a date… we did call two of eric’s brothers to request his nephews to be in the wedding, the 13-year old will be with my 2 nieces and the 4-year old twins will be the ring bearers… how cute!
exercise could be better, i won’t lie… i went to the gym monday but not tuesday or today (because of work) and was happy eric suggested we go play frisbee after work tonight… he also grabbed dinner, since he knew i had a horrible day – what else could a girl ask for?
anyone fans of that show ‘californication’? we’ve been watching it (via the xbox and netflix) and love it… that david duchovany plays ones, twisted f*ck…
anyway, time to unwind a bit then hit the hay…
happy hump day…

poohey
okay, okay – i KNOW that pilates isn’t considered cardio but was hoping at least ONE person would say, “sure, that counts”… i had a great 45-min eliptical workout today, burned almost 600 calories and went 4.5 miles… tomorrow, it will be spinning at 8:30 and then on sunday, i have my 3rd workout from the belly-off program… so far, so good…
i found these cute websited last night, full of all sorts of cool stuff… and if you drill farther down – there are even more links, to even more cooler sites… enjoy!
TGIF everyone!

everything tastes better when it’s free
rita’s is giving away a FREE regular size italian ice to each and every guest to mark the first day of spring… to find one that’s close to you, check out their website…
today has been extremely slow at work, like snail’s pace, and i hate days like this… esp. when there’s a huge project on my plate and i can’t work on it, because the research is behind schedule, which makes editorial behind as well… i know i shouldn’t complain but damn – there’s only so much web-surfing a girl can do! at least i’ll have my hour at the gym but still – makes me wish i was home packing, or at eric’s house organizing!
weekend plans: move some furniture, maybe do some painting, and work in the backyard – it’s time to start thinking about our garden for this year… we made a list of everything that we’d like to try growing, but this will involve making the current plot much larger… i found a few tips on what to plant, when, so we’ll see how much progress we actually make… we’re definitely going to do LESS tomatoes and squash, that i do know… AND eric bought a small, chest freezer yesterday so we’ll have more room to freeze veggies, fruit, herbs, sauces, etc. – yaaa hooo!
have a great weekend and happy 1st day of spring!

she did what?!
who would’ve thought that Oprah – the queen of all media and the woman that makes more money than all of us will ever see (combined) – STILL has a weight problem… i’m not making fun of her or wishing her any ill-will but have to admit that the news makes me feel a bit more normal… maybe that’s not the right adjective but i’m sure you know what i mean… i’m anxious to read her magazine article but if you’d like to read more, you can go here or here…
i really liked this quote –> “when it comes to maintaining my health I didn’t just fall off the wagon. I let the wagon fall on me … I didn’t follow my own fundamental rule of taking care of self first.”
how many of you can say that this has happened to you? for me – fell off the wagon? check… stopped taking care of self first? check… they seem like such fundamental things, right? but they’re not because it takes a lot of work to be 100% 24/7 and that holds true even for people like Ms. Oprah… so many of us (myself included) are afraid to admit mistakes esp. when it comes to weightloss… who wants to look like a failure, or as someone that gave up, or lost hope? certainly not me but it’s still hard to do and that will always be something i have to work on… one thing that HAS helped over the years, however, has been blogging and having such great online support… i have learned that i’ll never be alone in this battle (or any other for that matter) so thank you for being there for me…
happy tuesday…
