Hair today

W was in great need of a hair cut but the barbers was closed. He'd had asked me in the past to do it but I wasn't very confident about the whole thing.


But then, there's this great thing out there called the Internet. The Internet can give you all kinds of knowledge. It can even tell you how to cut hair. I watched a 5 minute video and wa-la, I now know how to cut hair.

I guess I should of asked W how he'd like his hair done because 2 minutes in me doing it he asked "are you giving me a buzz cut??!!"

I told you we were busy bees!

I can't believe it's already Thursday.

Let see, weekend wrap up - Friday night was fun, as usual with W2. I'm lucky to have a sister like her. We were up late chatting and up early with the kids. We had tons of fun though!

Saturday afternoons birthday party was fun. Our nephew A was so cute, he wanted to open present that he even helped up with cleaning. I have to tell ya, he's a good picker upper. I guess anyone would be if there's presents involved.

Sunday I had my road race and I did AWESOME! I did 5 miles in 47 minutes. My best time yet. I totally needed that going into my work hell week.

Yes, it's been H-E-double hockey sticks. AND I have to do it again next week. At least it's a short one.

For this weekend, I'm going out with BFF -S. Other than that, absolutely nothing! Yay!

Busy bees

Work week May 17-21 was pretty bad. Work week May 24- June 4 is going to be worse. I'm on my own for 2 weeks while my colleague is on paternity leave. I do have a temp but that won't keep me from being stressed. I have a HUGE campaign I'm working on and I have 5 days to come up with about 6 concepts. I should buy the wine by the box. That may help.

Tomorrow I'm going out to dinner with W2 and KB. Let the fruity drinks flow!

Bonus is I get a chance to see the boys. Saturday is Mom and nephew A's birthday party. I'll see the other boys too! But wait, there's more! The girls will be at the party too! I get the fill of my nieces and nephews all in one weekend.

Sunday I have a road race. It's a 5 miler. My running buddy R will be joining me along with some friends from back in the day. I hope the weather stays nice.

W has to work on Saturday. Perhaps he'll chime in on today's blog on what he plans to do while I'm off gallivanting.

Maybe clean the floors? The tub?? The possibilities are endless!!

May flies

I can't believe we are already in the middle of May. Weather's been OK. 90 one week, 50 the next.

I've been sick the last few weeks but continued to run. For those weeks, I kinda lost my love for running. I just was doing it because I felt I had to, opposed to wanting to. I was starting to think that my running days were over. Well, this last Saturday once my Mom and W's Mom left from their visit, I felt the urge to run. Wanting to run.

Well, it was an awesome run, I was smiling and happy that that is the feeling I like when I'm out there hitting the pavement. Sunday was just as satisfying. I guess it was due to my illness. Phew.

The next few weeks will be busy for us. Lots of birthdays and plans.

Seize the day (W2 do not get too excited, it's not what you think)

January 1, 1991. That was the date of my last doughnut. After I ate that doughnut I told myself that since they are so bad for me, my next doughnut will be when I turned 80. After about 10 years I thought that was a little too extreme. So I moved the date to when I was pregnant (I'm not). As time is going by and my chances of having a family are getting slim, I moved the date to when I was 40.

The more and more I thought of it, I keep moving the date but what if I don't have a family? What if I don't turn 40? I took this as a sign of God (yes, he likes doughnuts too:). I should live the moment, seize the day, have a damn doughnut.

My first choice was a chocolate filled. Many Dunkin Donuts don't have them but I do know the one down the street occasionally do. Unfortunately, they didn't have them. W being the best husband in the world, fed into my delusion and suggested we try another one. So, back in the car and off to Bellingham we go. They didn't have it either.

Is this another sign?

Yes!

Life doesn't always go according to plan. Suck it up and move on.

I choose a glazed doughnut. After eating it, I choose well.

Will I have another doughnut when I hit a milestone? YES! Will I have one in between? - Maybe but when that day comes and I feel like having a doughnut, instead of making excuses, I will seize the day.

When hunger strikes

I think it's weird when on certain days your more hungry than others. There are some days that I don't even think about snack time and then there are the days where it's 9 am and I'm ready for lunch.

Since W and I eat around 7:30 I have to eat lunch later. What do I do on those days where it's 11:30 in the morning and I still have 2 hours before I should eat lunch?? I sometimes resort to having a coffee. For some reason warm liquids hold of the hunger for at least a half an hour. I don't resort snacking because it's not really going to fill me up and it's a waste of calories.

Tonight we are having chicken quesadillas. Yum!

Now, back to work. Only 45 minutes until lunch. I hope I make it.

Tuesday's update

Sunday I ran with college roomie C at her first 5k. She did an awesome job finishing around 37 minutes. It was 90 out so not too shabby.

This coming Saturday W and I are taking out Mom's our for Mother's Day. W is working so us girls get to do a little shopping before lunch. Yay!

Anyone doing anything special for Mom's Day?
