Small Tweaks

Good evening! We worked on the holistic supplement store all day long, and we're THAT much closer to being ready for Tuesday's launch!   After my morning post, I took a 45 minute nap and stretched.  I woke up to discover the Z-Bar Fairy had come again! Amanda read that my favorite flavor is Chocolate [...]

Founders’ Day 10K

NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL A "RACE"! Not only I did reach my goal of 56 minutes, I SURPASSED IT!!   My official time was 52 minutes, 58 seconds!  What an amazing feeling! Plus, Meghann smoked her goal time, too ("under an hour") and came in a mere one minute after me!   I truly [...]

Bridal Shower Madness & Foxy Mama’s Hats

Oooooooooooo what a day!  Today, I had my first (of two) bridal showers, which was really more of a "working" ladies luncheon than an actual shower.   All my aunts (except 1) from my dad's side attended, as well as my mom, Meghann, my cousins, and my future mother-in-law. My aunts rented a recreation room [...]

Another Day, More Planning

Today is looking like it will be another fun and exciting wedding-centric day.  We have the "working" bridal shower at 11, and I'm looking forward to seeing a few of my friends and family.   I made a big batch of French Toast for myself, my mom, and Future Husband.   We were low on [...]

Scallops, Part Deux

Good evening!  Mom mentioned she was craving scallops, so I got to have them TWO times in one week!  Yipppeee. I used my favorite method for cooking scallops:  heat a wok, add a pad of butter, brown a tablespoon of garlic, pour in a few tablespoons of fresh squeezed lemon and a sprinkle of pepper, [...]

Getting My Hair Did!

Yayyyy today was SO MUCH FUN with my mom!  It's just nice to have her do wedding stuff with me.  We headed to downtown Orlando for my trial hair appointment, but first we grabbed a quick bite to eat to eat at Tijuana Flats. I had two soft whole-wheat chicken tacos (only ate 1 and [...]

Fighting the Urge to Walk

Good morning! I'm having a lovely Friday morning -- I'm off from work, my mom is in town, and we're going to do tons of wedding-related errands. YAY!   Since I missed my run last night, I went on a light run this AM.  About an hour before I left, I had a light breakfast [...]

Pictures Speak a 1,000 Words

Good - because I have no time to type.  Busy, busy, busy at work today!   The courthouse appointment went well.  We have our official marriage license and now we must wait for our officiant (Future Husband's stepfather) to perform the marriage and sign it.  58 days and counting! :)   Cute moment:  Future Husband [...]

We’re Goin’ to the Courthouse….

And we're goin' get marrrrried (in 58 days)!   EXCITING MORNING! Future Husband and I are leaving soon to go get our marriage license.  This is a really big deal for me (and him, I think)! Since we're not religious, legal recognition of our union is the most important thing, and I can't wait to [...]

Running in the Dark

Daylight Savings Time is putting a damper on my evening runs -- it's PITCH BLACK by 6:30!  Eck!  I still managed to squeeze in a 4.0  miler, but this time change is going to make longer runs during the week difficult.  Maybe I need to invest in a reflective vest?   Despite the darkness, my [...]

Like a 13 Year Old Boy

Good afternoon! WHAT A MORNING! I'm busy at work, trying to catch up on election news, and just generally feeling GREAT.  I can't WAIT to go on a run later!   Around 9:30, I had a snack.  I signed up to get a free Clif Bar sample about 8 weeks ago, and I finally got [...]

60 DAYS!

I just checked out my wedding countdown (yes, I have one) and we have 60 more days until the wedding.  That's a BIG DEAL because now we can get our marriage license!  We're actually going on Thursday morning! Whoop, whoop!   Besides that happy bit of news, I must admit I have been terribly anxious [...]
