Weekend Away

I want to do a quick shout-out to Lil Runner for the wonderful gift I received in the mail yesterday! She just had a beautiful baby boy 2 weeks ago, and since I had the closest guess for when he was going to arrive, she sent me this:I had to try it right away and mmmmm... it is so yummy!

Well, I am off and probably will be away from my computer for the next few days. My parents and youngest sister are leaving the Biz around lunch time today, picking me up after work, and we will be heading to the cities to see my sis! Sunday night we have tickets to the Timberwolves/Lakers game!

Have a great weekend, y'all!

A little bit of this .... and a little bit of that....

....Last week I received a wonderful gift in the mail from my aunt. Supposedly she just found out about my purchase of a home. I don't know how she missed the news, but the gift was very thoughtful! She is totally catering to my addiction. Thank you thank you thank you!

.....Friday I woke with a cold. Remember when I thought I was getting sick a couple weeks ago and I drowned myself in Airborne? That seemed to work then, but this cold came out of no where, and with a bang. It couldn't have come at a worse time, not that there is ever a good time to get sick, but I had busy plans for the weekend.

....my parents, younger sister, and I took a quick trip to the twin cities this weekend for my brother-in-law's going away party. It was bittersweet. He will be leaving in less than 2 weeks for his 2nd tour of active duty. We cannot dwell on the fact that his time in the military was to be up in a matter of days, but support him in every way possible for the next year. We will miss him so so much and will be counting down the days for his return home. Fortunately, my sister has a wonderful support system and plans to keep herself very busy and active while his is away.

....Today was the first day I worked out in 4 days! It was driving me crazy. I went out for a short run to test out my new kicks. It's amazing how wonderful new shoes feel. Aftwards I hopped in the bike for a little while. It felt pretty good.
