Weekend RECAP

We went to Houston this past weekend for John's birthday weekend. It was so nice to get out of town and have a break from the busy life we have had going on. I thought I would share some photos of the highlights of our extended weekend.

1. Before heading to Houston we had a Birthday HH/Dinner gathering with friends from work. John also got a yuuuuummmy cookie cake!

2. While in Houston we went birthday shopping!! I couldn't convince John that this would be a perfect purchase for him....

3. We (I!!!!!!) ate fried ALLIGATOR! Might be one of the strangest meats i can say i have attempted to eat, but it was pleasantly delish!

4. At the RENFEST we saw: creepers, old friends and even made some new friends!!!

5. I RODE AN ELEPHANT!!! (video to come soon)

6. Lastly, a goodbye elevator shot!

Such a fun weekend... a few things learned...

a. Houston stinks... and i need to remind myself of that when I complain about living in Dallas.

b. I have such a ball with my boyfriend :) No matter what strange event we may be at.

c. I am SO EXCITED for Thanksgiving break.

Gallstones & Gypsies.. OH MY!

Well- I had a very extended weekend. Thursday- Sunday... due to an unexpected Gallstone/Ulcer/??? scare. I had to spend several hours at my Dr office on Thursday after leaving work early Thursday morning in tears. One Dr. appointment turned into a referral to a specialist who charged me $50 to speak to their PA... um, unfair? I am thinking I will be calling the office/insurance company tomorrow. Anywhoo, ultra sounds later we still have no clue what my issue is... therefore I am beginning a very clean food diet/journal to weed out potential foods that may cause me to feel like death.

So, after my 3-day work week I am about to begin my 4-day work week with a field trip thrown in there too.. muwhahaa, so excited!!! Thursday is Johns big 2-9 th birthday, so were going to go to dinner somewhere special and then head out for Houston Texas on Friday morning. I got a pretty sweet deal on a hotel near the galleria and were going to do some shopping while were there! On Saturday we are going to the Texas Renaissance festival... John and his best friend live for these things so... should be fun!!! I am sort of excited this time because it is Halloween weekend so we get to dress up in costumes! Were going as a band of gypsies.

I found a cuuuute costume

However it is impossible to find a male gypsy costume... it's a little frustrating! Hopefully we will piece something together soon though. Should be a fun weekend! :)

WORLD SERIES BABY!

And I was at the clinching game-- can you say AWESOME! Well, it was pretty epic.

We had ladies night at the ballpark on Saturday. Two of my new girl friends at work. :) Total blast-- and definitely made me think that i may actually enjoy baseball games for more than just the beer and hotdogs from now on! YAY!

In other sports news, the Dallas Cowboys are breaking my heart. I can honestly say I am proud of how my team played today. The were great. But not good enough I guess. They lost the game in the final 30 seconds or so... and I couldn't help but be so sad for them.

Well, heres to Sunday nights... depressing as they are... may the countdown to next weekend start, NOW.

P90x Attempt... #3?

Well, here I am again... getting ready to hop back onto the healthy train. I swear, it doesn't matter when in the year it is, I will always have an excuse why I am too busy to work out. Well, that has got to end! And why not now, while the best motivational TV show is on!! ((biggest loser, of course)) So, I am making the choice to start on probably one of the busiest weeks of the year to start working out again. I cannot decide if i really want to commit to p90 again, because, 6 days a week is a big commitment and time consuming... but, shouldn't getting healthy and back to that ideal size (that when i was that size was never content and always wanted to be "thinner", typical girl.) be time consuming, and as my love would call it-- a lifestyle change. I know Bob Harper would slap me and tell me to get over it and commit to it. Too bad he can't come and scare me for 12 weeks, right!?

new look!

Mayhaps an actual blog post soon????
