I hope everyone had a lovely weekend!! To all the recent graduates, congratulations and welcome to the grown-up world (even though I still don’t consider myself apart of it!). To all of you that are in finals week, I wish ya’ll GOOD LUCK!!
I missed you all over the weekend since I didn’t get a chance to check the computer once! However, it was kind of nice being busy! Recap, shall we?
Friday..
- San Diego for little C’s dance recital. She did GREAT!
- Went afterwards with Big C to get some frozen yogurt. It was nice to spend some time with her because for the past year, we have had some issues between us. With my ED recovery/isolating myself getting better and her knee problems/constant pain/”hate the world” outlook getting better, we were able to have a relaxing girls night!
Saturday…
- Little C and I were planning on going for a long beach jog but we procrastinated so long that we only had 45 minutes to get a jog in before our pedicures :) Instead of jogging the beach, we sprinted down Pacific Coast Highway through all the different little shops. It was speed cardio shopping We finished our workout by sprinting to the frozen yogurt shop. Gotta refuel, right?!
- Tried to get some studying done for the GRE but my heart and mind were just not in it! I think I was more preoccupied with my (let’s call him TJ for Trader Joe’s boy) date that night. I took a nap instead! I heart naps
- I took little C shopping for Prom dresses... I'm not even ashamed that I tried on some myself! haha. It was too much fun searching for the most ridiculous looking prom dress!
Saturday Night...
- I don’t want to jinx it so I’m keeping this very short and simple, but we had a really good time. When he first asked me out to dinner, it was in response to a text I sent him saying “What’s a girl gotta do to get some more blueberry cookies” (that’s what he was serving at TJs when I met him). Needless to say, he definitely brought me blueberry cookies on the date! Haha. Cute.
- We went to dinner at a small Mexican restaurant across from the beach, then out for a drink after at a local dive bar.
- Quick background check: Graduated with a degree in Psychology and studying to go back to graduate school for developmental/school psych. We thought it was funny that developmental psych was my most hated area, while neuroscience was his least favorite!
- I’m kind of hoping I don’t pull a “classic me” on this one. I have a problem where I’ll be interested in someone until I find out that they actually like me, and then I shut off, become uninterested, suddenly “busy” and I stop talking to them. It’s like I’m afraid they’ll get too close or I’ll lose my freedom or something. Who knows.. I need Paul from In Treatment to analyze me!!
Sunday.. - Kiki was sweet enough leave a dead rat on the patio in our backyard that I saw first thing after getting home Sunday morning. umm, yeah. I screamed....and not for ice cream.
It was also my mom’s pre-birthday celebration. She turns the big 5-5 today! We went out to lunch yesterday and got BBQ and Ranch chicken salads. Kiki was happy to get the chicken later on! I’m tellin ya’ll, I can’t kick this bbq streak that’s been going on the last month! Maybe it’s the summer weather! Fun fact, I used to hhhhhaaatttee bbq sauce! - They sang happy birthday at the restaurant followed by some carrot cake that I had a bite of (that’s right!!!!) We then saw the movie State of Play with my crushes: Ben Afflect and Rachel McAdams.
- In other news, I'm having a hard time dealing with seeing my weight increase. Still under my healthy weight but it jumped a good 3-4 lbs in the past couple weeks. I thought it was due to my “expected” girl-time of the month since I took progesterone rx to jumpstart it but I still haven’t gotten it yet, so now I’m kind of worried. Was that just TMI!? Yeah, I think so. It's also been difficult being able to fit back into my regular fitting clothes again that use to hang on me just a few months ago. I'm truckin through though.. thanks to the help of all of you girls on here!!
Tonight is my mom’s official birthday so we're headed out to dinner! Hope everyone had a great start to the week!!! I'm still catching up on reading ya'll blogs and commenting.. I'll get there :)
XOXO
