I slept a *little* late this morning (WHO IS SURPRISED?!?!
) but I am about to head down for my run. I've only gotten about 6.5 miles on the tm this week so I'd like to get at least 5 - 5.5 more.
We don't really have plans for the weekend. I need to work on Collin's birthday party invitations today so I can hand those out on Monday. GroceryMAX, laundryMAX, the usual.

Good Morning Everyone!
I am glad it is the weekend. It has been so busy at work the past few days. Today is haircut, shopmax and then a Mardi Gras party tonight. My friend started this tradition a few years ago because she thought we should all get together in the winter and Mardi Gras was really the only occasion she could come up with. Chris loves it because he gets to eat his favorite foods - gumbo, shrimp po boys and bread pudding. I don't really like the cuisine so it will be easy to keep my portions small.
Katie, is Collin going to be 4?
Kate, I don't really like boston cream so no temptation there. aren't I a picky eater?
Anne, I agree. You can get so much more done when you work at home. I usually have a sore butt from sitting so long.
Klaudia, I am tired of winter. We haven't had a lot of snow but I would like some warm weather.
Off to do 4DS BC, quick cardio and abs!

morning katie!! nice someone is here hope you had a fun run. i was really working hard this am, and not going as fast as usual. my body is just plain tired. dh and i had a date last night which was great, but i did not get to bed until too late aidan woke me up when i would have slept in, so i ran anyways. now i am at work but at least i will have next weekend off when dh is away.
sorry i never got back yesterday.
anne, good job on the home workout!!
kate, i am impressed with your baking. i need to make cookies for dh to take on his trip. the trick is to make them almost as he is walking out the door
klaudia, i am sorry for the bad news. i feel that way too. the economy is so bad, i think we will probably rent in jacksonville instead of buy - more secure until dh gets a full time job. what kind of icecream did you get??
colleen, where are you?
eats were 90% yesterday, and dinner out was very clean too. i was a good girl! today will be good too, though dh is giving me a hard time about the food i pack for work and my snacks. he can somehow go all day without eating, eat garbage in moderation, and stay about the same size. i like knowing i have clean food with me and make good choices. plus, i feel better. my upper bod is sore from yesterday, yeah!! and, i got my 10 miler in this am. outdoor run tomorrow for sure. bbl

Morris, TEN MILES?? You are nuts, woman! When are you guys moving? ^5 on the *extra cardio* last night
Colleen, yes Collin will be 4 on 3/3. He is getting to the age where his preschool friends are having birthday parties, so we are doing it too. We used to just do a family dinner thing.
Kate, where are you?? In a boston cream coma??
___
WO done -- 5.25 miles, 560 cals, I was WIPED OUT when I was done but my shower seems to have rejuvenated me. Collin does not want to go anywhere today, so i'll just stay here and get some things done around the house.

Hey girlies!
Waiting for the snow-3-6", maybe more, maybe less. Glad I've got nothing to do today Gonna do STS3-Legs, then do STS2 tomorrow, I think. Starting to stress about Darrin's job situation-thinking of ways to tighten our budget and make some money, too. I'm thinking of offering my babysitting services to my neighbor. Hoping she says yes-it'd be M,W,F. She has 1 son who'll be in Young 5's and one who's going to be in 3rd grade. She's always complaining about the childcare situation at school so we'll see. We also decided to not put Nevena in 3 year preschool next year and the girls might have to give up dance. Sigh. Gotta do what we gotta do.
Katie, great workout! We've ALWAYS done big birthdays and spent huge amounts of money. That's one thing I'll be glad to cut out of our budget!
Colleen, have a great time tonight-Laissez les bons temps roulee!
Morris, I'm so jealous of your date night. Darrin and I were talking-we won't be getting one any time soon-I don't want to bother my mom, and she's going to have surgery soon anyway, and his family is absolutely NO help. Plus, there's no extra money anyway. Our dates will be starting at 9 pm We had Edy's drumstick and ice cream sandwich flavors-yum
Kate, you're such an enabler! I'm going to not eat anymore sweets til Tuesday-Paczki Day in the Detroit area! My aunt's bakery makes the BEST ones-I usually eat 6!!
Hi Anne, Robin, and Angie
b-kashi, banana

Kate, you're killing me with those links!! Have fun with the girls this afternoon, and STS tonight.
Klaudia, this is the first year it has made any sense to have a big party and make a big fuss about his birthday, so we are taking advantage. I LOVE days when I have NOTHING to do!
Party invitations are done and ADORABLE! I was starving and clueless as to what to eat (not much in the house) so I made a quesadilla with corn tortillas, cheddar jack cheese, and fresh pico de gallo. OMW it was sooooo good!
NAP TIME!

Hi, everybody! Well, I was supposed to go to my parent's today, but there's a bad storm. I got about 20 miles from my house and turned around. I feel bad since I skipped last weekend, but the roads really are too bad to be out and about today.
Katie, maybe endurance work doesn't give you soreness? I don't know.
Colleen, have fun at your mardi gras party. I'd have a hard time there, as I'm allergic to shellfish. Plus, I don't care for it. I don't eat anything that swims.
Kate, have fun at Horrocks! I was there last Saturday.
Morris, sounds like you had a good date night--yeah!
Klaudia, sorry about Darrin's job situation. That is so tough.
Hi to Robin and Angie!
So, two Saturdays in a row I don't have to travel, I almost don't know what to do with myself. I can get the laundry done today (there's a ton of it), so that will be good. I also have a book I've been reading for several months that I'd like to finish (I've been putting it down to read stuff for book club).
Do you want the end of the friend drama? So, the new boyfriend came down yesterday with his snowmobile trailer to move all her stuff. Well, I wanted to meet him. So, I went to help her yesterday afternoon, but I had tap class. But, I had an hour between tap and dinner with friends, so I said I would call her to see if he was up to meeting me (he had a ski accident on Thursday and pulled his groin--if he was feeling terrible, I didn't want to bother him). Well, she never answered her phone. So after dinner I saw she called and I called her back. She said she didn't hear her phone, she was really sorry. So, I said, how about I come tomorrow morning before I leave for my parents? 9:30 or 10:00. Sure, that's fine. So I get there at 9:25 and he's already gone. He had just left because he was worried about the weather. I said, "So, I'll get to meet him when I come to visit in July?" She said, "Yeah, I guess so, oh well." Am I out of line to be irritated by this? Of course, I'm annoyed about the whole situation, so I think it's easy to focus on this small thing. But, geez!, it would be nice to meet the person who has turned her life into a complete circus for the last 2 months. Sigh. Okay, rant over. Thanks for listening.
I'm gonna get started on the laundry. Wish me luck!

Hey all, quick check in. We've had a busy weekend so far but we're home. Just finished grocery shopping and I'm exhausted. The house is always a mess and I can't keep up. I hate it. I just wish things would clean themselves up!
I got a short run in today and that was the only WO.
Tomorrow will be 4DS.
I'll do personals tomorrow.

Hey Morris, sounds like a nice day for you!! I hope you get outside for your run tomorrow!
Kate, I woulda helped you eat those cupcakes girlfriend!! Are there any left??
MY HUSBAND IS SUCH A BABY! He is doing STS disk 2 right now, and he is whining about heavy weights, band work, being sore, etc. And his form is ATROCIOUS! I run around for the whole hour getting out his weights for him and his still b!tches and moans that it is moving too fast, he's tired, etc. How do I politely tell him that he is on his own from here?
Oh great, he just said "My trainer is over there on the computer" when he had to get his own weight.
Very clean day here for me, yay!
