beautiful mess

Only a week into blogging and I'm already almost a week behind! No excuses, just laziness! As the news anchors say, "here is the week in review":


Saturday.


No sleeping in anymore, like ever. This is upsetting, but, whatever, could be worse. Woke up at the crack of dawn to go run with my "running group" (this is a whole other conversation) and managed to struggle through 10 miles. Its amazing how quickly one gets out of shape. Owww, it didn't feel good.


The day progressively got better... Starting with driving with Ms. Baley to take Hannah to a foster home, with Mr. Gary who LOVES dobermans! He showed up with another friend, King, who Hannah instantly seemed to fall in love with. We were both sad to see Hannah go, but know that this sweet girl will find a home with parents who will love her!




Shopping (I think I have an addiction to the Banana Republic outlet), yard work, errands, errands, errands, FOOD.


Made these delicious cookies for a dinner party that the hunk and I attended on Saturday night; I highly recommend them, however, be warned that they are highly addictive (read on for Sunday's lunch). 

Some friends from work all went to a BBQ dinner party hosted by the Stephensons', whose condo by the way is straight out of Pottery Barn catalog! SO pretty. Makes me want to come back to my house and just redo everything.

Sunday.

Up early again. Ugh. Some really are just morning people, though:


Sean and some friends , being the ambitious group that they are, have decided to create their own company! It will be called "My City Challenge," and is a spin off on the race that he and I did in St. Augustine. I'm really proud of him for all the hard work that they are doing.... Well, being the nice girl that I am (ha) I joined Sean for a lovely, humid run through downtown Orlando Sunday morning. Ugh it had to be at least 100*F WITHOUT the humidity. I was whinny most of the time, but it was a great way to see the city that I've lived in now for 25 (!) years and hang out with one of my best friends. ... He did buy my lunch for this torture :) Thanks Sean! Oh... and then pedicures, haha..... That long leg next to Sean is Jason. He was receiving his first ever pedicure, I think he may be hooked!


ps- ate like 9 of those damn cookies for "linner" as my mom would call it; glad those are out of the house, geez.


Duncan and I brought leftovers to Sean's house on Sunday! Duncan loves visiting, and any excuse to travel in the car! It was the first time that a few of Sean's friends had met Duncan, I think its safe to say that they too are in love.


Monday.


Work. Ugh, again. Woke up and instantly thought of when I could take a nap; great way to start the week, huh? haha. Work went well... That night Baley, Katie, and I went on a run through Winter Park! What a beautiful city <3 However, we did see a few cops (armed) running to the back of some house that we had just run by; I wanted to see what was going on, but was convinced that this might not be the best idea! ... After our run I did some late night grocery shopping (I shop with a list and only buy what is included on this list! WOW, huh??) and then called it a night. Borrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrring.


Tuesday.


Step mom's birthday; Happy Birthday Caroline!


Sean came over for dinner; I tried a new recipe... Salsa Chicken Rice Casserole. It was delicious and he made guacamole (more delicious)... He even does the dishes, wow, what a lucky girl! Finally got to use my chiminea.... Disappointing that I can't light a damn fire (Sean had to); this is on my list of things to learn how to do.






Wednesday.


One day closer to Friday; thank goodness!!! Work went well... went to a delicious dinner at Olive Garden for Caroline's birthday dinner. Ate the "never ending pasta bowl", but couldn't finish one plate of my pasta??! Hmm, maybe I'm getting sick? Oh! Today was Sean and I's 4 month anniversary! Such a lucky girl! :)


And, today is yoga Thursday!!!
