monday blues.

i've got the monday blues, so here is a little peak into my weekend...

A morning with the Sarge as I like to call him, but officially known as Sgt. Pepper.

An afternoon date with Noah, complete with his Spiderman PJs and rainboots!

Got dresses in our snazzy duds in honor of Heather

and went to a fancy dinner to celebrate her birthday.

1. birthday cupcake 2. dinner

3. rooftop lounge, but we only went to look because it was freezing. brrrr. 4. quick outfit pic.

1. me and the birthday girl. 2. the boys thinking they are hipsters/in the mafia (the black gloves).

3. eric staring down the bison.

le weekend...a little late

i know it's late, but better late than never right,

this is what my weekend looked like:

• got asked to help out with designing a small diy wedding. so excited! i'll be giving updates as I go.

• friday night was game night with the cousins. we played a new game, Smart Ass and an old favorite Taboo. It was super fun to hang out with my cousins for the night. It had been way too long. See, I come from a very large extended family with 22 cousins (it's even bigger now that lots are married and have kids). And we see each other pretty often, I would even say that some of them are like sisters to me.

• a nice long saturday workout. i felt so good and refreshed, and tired afterward.

• sat down to finally finish this pinwheel order for a wedding coming up this summer. i really love how it turned out. she wanted lots of very bright colors, it was fun color palette to work with.

and i think this might be one of my most fave pinwheels so far, if not my most favorite.

and look how cute the back is: pink with little green teakettles!

• had a special girl date with erin! we got coffee and saw Blue Valentine. My verdict is still out on this movie. I liked it, but it was so heavy and a lot to process in such a short time.

but looking at michelle williams and ryan gosling for two hours,

definitely a plus in my book

• super bowl sunday party at the mcneely's! (like most everyone else in America) to be honest, I hadn't watched a single NFL game this season, and i didn't watch that much of the actual game on sunday either. and i stayed way too late, because we played our own game, of cranium, after. and of course, tobin, erin, and i whooped the boys.

30 day update: so far I've been pretty faithful to my diet/exercise program. I haven't eaten the exact meals on the day, but i've stayed within calories and just had leftovers from other meals because of time (and a little cause of money). i've also been doing my work outs and adding cardio. It's now day 9 and i don't feel any different yet, well i feel a little healthier but not any smaller...i'm hoping i'll start to see/feel it soon and that will give me some motivation to stick with it for the rest of the time.
