catching up

OK, so I'm going to cheat & back post a few notes to fill ya'll in on my week. So today it's really Sunday 6/5, but we're going to act like it's Tuesday, May 31st... because this is the internet & it's my blogg & I can do what I want! wooohoo!! :::: My weekend was massively productive. And in the last couple weeks, after getting back from my trip, I have successfully set out what I planned to do:
Make working out a habit.
I have been working out almost every day! I missed one day - but technically since I'm posting like it's last Tuesday that day doesn't exist yet. HA! But suffice to say I worked out 7 days in a row and I've been really active and it feels good. Gym/Weights/Cardio & lots of hikes up the hill behind my house. It's been so nice here!
Make working hard a habit (again).
And boy did I! I got back into the swing of it last Friday and since I was working on a time sensitive project, I ended up working my tooty off till this last Friday (err, the Friday that doesn't exist yet. Damn, this backdating is hard!). Anyway, it's good stuff & I'm excited to show it off when it's OK to do so. :)
Make listening to yourself a habit.
This means not eating all the brownie mix. :) Hand in hand with the working out to get these 10 lbs back *off*. Feeling good, centered, balanced, etc.

Make hanging out with friends a habit.
Yes! I am doing this! It's easy for me to hermit up... so it's been an important goal for me to create some more balance, and surround myself with my awesome, loving, supportive friends.


Sunday morning Lyne & I went out to breakfast at yummy Just For You!

Then, later that afternoon I called a fellow Bernal neighbor, Lulu (who also stayed here & watched Kazoobie while I was away! Thanks Lulu!), for an impromptu hike up the hill - and she was down! woohoo! So we had a nice little walk/hike and caught up.

Then Monday, seeing as how I'd worked all weekend and most everyone else was enjoying a 3 day VK, (although, I'm not complaining because I had just enjoyed a ridiculously long VK, so I had my fun!) I decided I would at least stop working at 5pm and have a friend over and CHILL.

So, sweet Lucia came over with her knitting stuff, and we sat out on my deck while the sun set and managed to finish off a bottle of champagne. Oh yes, we're good at celebrating! Then we cracked open what I thought was a bottle of white (someone brought me some time ago, but I'm not much of a white wine drinker so it's been in there awhile) - but it turned out to be a sweet white wine, which turned out to be Lucia's favorite... so she did a great job at taking care of that for me! hehee :) I made myself margaritas & we continued to enjoy the sunset and have great talks about love and life and friendships. I love Lucia!!!

As the night wore on, we obnoxiously yelled to my fun-loving neighbors, I made us a yummy dinner, and we watched Whale Rider. A movie that SO didn't match our buzz... but it was a school night afterall, so it definitely did the trick of sobering us up. It was a much needed nice break to a wonderfully productive weekend.
