3, 2, 1...

There I go posting the first post yesterday and getting all caught up in what the blog was about that I forgot to mention what a fabulous time we had the night before! 

Hubs and I are NOT big NYE people.  In fact, we're usually in bed around 10 and don't even think twice about it.  Well, this year we went out with a super fab couple.  Pretty sure we started the night off great when we opened the door and hubs was dressed in a suit and tie and I had on a bridesmaid's dress (complete with accessories).  Their face was pretty priceless - it was TOTALLY worth it. 
Several beverages later we went to eat where we had the world's most annoying waiter.  He checked on us literally every 2-3 minutes.  We could hardly complete a sentence before he came over again.  Food was delicious though!
After dinner we went to a bar where a lady asked us to steal a monkey - and she'd give us $20 for it.  I'm pretty sure she'd been there awhile.  We then made our way to downtown and watched the ball drop.  It was great - pretty sure I love these Audi owners.

Keeping up with my resolutions, hubs and I went on a date last night!  We dropped off little man and made our way to the fabulous local mall to watch Black Swan.  If you haven't seen it, you should.  After I told hubs I will definitely be referring to my Black Swan when the fiestiness starts to come through. 
We also looked at wedding rings.  8 years was a pretty good run for hubs to keep his without losing it. 

Today begins my 'training' for the 5k.  If you've never seen me run - watch out.  I am not a runner, I'm a wogger.  I walk and sort of jog.  I've NEVER enjoyed running, I'm terrible at it, and it just down right hurts.  Everything about it hurts - I honestly don't understand why people enjoy doing it.  My knees, hips, ribs, lungs and neck hurt every time I run.  Does that happen to everyone, or am I doing something completely wrong?
(side note: this training will begin AFTER a birthday celebration where I will try to control myself and not inhale as much cake as humanly possible...just because it's delicious).

day 2...here I come!

  1. Nice lady! Glad your blogging! Can't wait to read more.

    About the running..my answer is yes! it hurts everything, including your lungs...what helps me is trying to think about something else...start a big project in your head and really try to let your mind just go toward that or work out a fight or other situation...this will make the time go by quicker...and it can turn into therapy. Also, just realize that every time you run your body is different that day...so your running could be awesome one day and then the next a total bust...don't harp on it...just know that next time will be different. But it does get better and less things hurt and different things hurt each time...that's my experience with it anyway. :) good luck!! :) ox
