Some rest for the weary

Working two Saturdays in a row is absolutely no fun. At least I can take some consolation in having tomorrow off, as well as the next three weekends (in fact that's like 3 3-day weekends in a row!)!

Last night the girls went out to dinner at Ibiza to celebrate T-bone's belated birthday. And while the food is delish, the atmosphere can sometimes be a little more than desired (especially the acoustics...it is so LOUD inside the restaurant). But we did have a good time.Their birthday special is cotton candy...I don't think I've ever had this much!After dinner we hung out at their lounge and attempted some self-portraits:They didn't turn out so well so we had someone take this for us:Since we weren't quite ready to go home, Peg and I met the boys at Numbers for a Michael Jackson tributeAll the festivities left me a wee tired this morning, but I did make it to yoga, which helped me feel better.

This afternoon we spent making fun Thank You cards with my crafty sister. Unfortunately my batteries were being recharged so I didn't take any photos. Next on the list...maybe a nap before bedtime?

For the love of the run

This morning I just couldn't bring myself to drive to Memorial and run another loop. So I decided to wait until the sun was almost up and run from home. And I'm glad I did. I just ran until I didn't feel like running anymore, at whatever pace I was feeling, and actually enjoyed it, humidity and all. I guess the concern of keeping a certain time or distance can take the fun out of running. I forgot I like to run after all!And it's kind of cool to see the city in the early morning light.

Fashionista

So my Bluefly purchases arrived in the mail today. I bought a Leann top and skirt. And while I love the flippy skirt, it was a little big and I don't think I will exchange it for the next size down...just think it may be a bit youngish or tarty, espcially if I wear it will high heels. But the flowy top is gorgeous and youthful as well without being cutsy and is a keeper. It's too dark to take photos now, but I will probably wear it to dinner with the girls tomorrow night and will post then!

For now it's more Tour with Lance and Joe!

Now and then

Seeing my bffs made me sentimental and remember...I can't believe I have known these guys for over 20 years! (Probably closer to 25 years!!). Everyone needs friends like them...someone who knows you, even if you haven't spoken in weeks or months.Some things that may have changed: hairstyles (or lack thereof!), a few pounds here or there, a few lines here or there, but overall, we still look pretty good, if I do say so myself! (I flipped the old photo so we would be in the same order for comparisons sake).

A little break

The office has been very slow the past few months, with the economy and summer and all. Not good for bonuses, but good for more time off! Today I was able to sneak home and enjoy my lunch here. Sometimes it's nice just to get away.

In other, more important news, I am going to be shopping for all things blue the next few months...can't wait!

Cat sitting

Our friend Greg is out of town this week so we are keeping an eye on JR for him. JR is actually pretty friendly for a cat!

Too much stuff to do, too little time

I have many scrapbook/photo projects swirling in my head that I would like to do. So many trips to make minis, so many daily photos...what to do with all of them? I did learn how to make a photo grid in Photoshop today courtesy of Cathy Zielske via Ali Edwards' blog. Now if I could only figure out how to make a link...

A little shop shop today

with my bff (and my new HollywoodIntuition shades)!

We hit the standard stores and got some good deals! Alas, didn't take any photos along the way...next time! My favorite purchase of the day was a long hot pink skirt from my old standby, The Gap.

Next up, some yummy Mexican food to celebrate Joe's li'l bros bday!
