Well it has been a great week and this week has been filled with birthday's!
My girl Macey's birthday was on Sunday. Macey is one of my best friends from college and I just love catching up with her. Unfortunately she is in Minny so we usually keep in touch via gchat and phonne. I almost always call Macey when I am driving a long distance b/c we can talk for hours!! One of my favorite Macey stories is from my senior year of college. We lived across the street from a Dairy Queen (dangerous) and one day we decided to drive there (yep) and then hit the grocery store(makes a lot of sense.) Macey decided to try my blizzard (I was in the back seat) while she was driving and before we knew it, we were driving on the median. LOL. It was hysterical! Oh the things we do for ice cream.
My Mom's birthday was on Monday. I am so lucky to have my Mom and I cherish our relationship so much. She is one of the coolest, prettiest, smartest (I could go on forever) ladies I know. The thing I love about my Mom is that she loves to learn. At the young age of 59, she has decided to get her PhD (from IA State...sick.) Since I can remember this was a dream of hers. I can't wait to celebrate Doctor Helene Grossman when she graduates in December. What I also love about my Mom is that she always puts others first. I have learned this great quality from her and I know I can always count her for anything. She's one special lady and I can't wait to celebrate her BIG 60 next year.
Yesterday was Lindsay's (Kenoe) birthday. Kenoe and I go way back to the sorority days as well. Even though we weren't extrememly close in college, we were insta-besties our first year our in Chicago. Kenoe and I used to live together and now we live in the same apartment building. Def helps when you need a cup of sugar :). We both share a passion for cooking, working out, sushi, new restaurants, celeb gossip, Bravo, etc. We are going out tomorrow night to celebrate Kenoe and paint the town red. Watch out Chi town! I love so much about Kenoe, but it is hysterical how she makes up words or uses a word or phrase in-correctly. She will hear a word from someone and use it in a sentance even if it doesn't make sense. (And then, yours truly said to me...so are you talking about you or someone else?) LOL.
Happy Birthday to a few of my faves!!
This morning Monster and I got up to hit the gym. I did 20 minutes of cardio, 15 minutes of arms and 10 minutes of abs. I haven't been to the gym on a Friday in months, so I deserve a huge pat on the back. As I limped to the bus, I decided that I have had enough of this foot pain and I was going to call a doctor. My appointment is on Monday and I pray it's nothing big. I just want to be able to walk again! Also, it's almost flip flop time so I need this bad boy healed stat.
I met an old pal of mine for lunch today at Chipotle. Gosh it's hard to make healthy decisions there, but I did the best I could!
As mentioned before, tonight is going to be a chill night and I can't wait. We need to cleap up the pad, but aside from that, nada is on the books for tonight.
My meal plan for the day:
Pre-gym - 90 calorie cereal bar
Breakfast - I caved and get my favorite Starbucks sammy. It's been ages!
Lunch - Chicken burrito bowl. I have my own technique with this. I go shredded lettuce on the bottom, grilled veggies, chicken, hold the rice and beans, a tiny dash of cheese and hot salsa! I also get guacamole on the side and dip my fork in it. Yum!
Dinner - TBD. I think I may make a seafood salad with shrimp and the flounder from T. Joes. Doesn't that sound good?
I hope you all have a nice weekend! Pray for Spring weather!
