Happy Friday, friends! The weekend is already here – this week seemed to fly by so fast (I’m definitely not complaining)!
This week has been a whirlwind of meetings, dinners, and event planning. I absolutely cannot wait until Saturday afternoon around 2 p.m. – that means my life can officially return to normal!
You ever have to take it day by day until you “get there”? That’s how I’m feeling right now.
This week, I spent several after work afternoons and lots of hours in our front flower beds. The weeds basically took over and it’s time to replant new things now that the temps are warming up. I will never understand how a freeze will kill flowers and plants but not weeds. SMH.
I’ll be honest, I didn’t get any workouts in this week. The flower beds became my priority this week, so I devised a way to still feel a burn while working in the yard – something worked because after three days, I’m feeling it!
On Monday night, I had an after work dinner meeting at a local restaurant. When the head of our committee wasn’t on time, I began wondering what was going on. After half an hour, I got in touch with someone who told me that our committee head was no longer with the organization. Whaaa? SO, we had to conduct the meeting on our own – it was a productive meeting, but still. Craziness!
On Wednesday, I woke up at 7:30 a.m. (WAY LATE) and couldn’t believe I turned off my alarm. We were shooting a commercial for our work department and I had to flat iron my hair. Needless to say, I made it out of the house in record time but it was stressful getting there! Thankfully my crazy hair cooperated with me!
After the shoot, several of us went to McAlisters for lunch (our local favorite)!
Tomorrow (Saturday) is our area’s 2nd Annual Bark for Life with the American Cancer Society. I’m the event chair, which is a big part of the reason things have been stressful around here this week. I also have a work project due by Monday and I’m almost completely finished. Too many irons in the fire, as my grandmother used to say!
By Saturday at 2 p.m., I’ll hopefully be home free. Can’t wait!!
Last but not least, here’s my Tutu’s for Monika contribution. First off, I think Monika is a rock star and anyone who says otherwise is dumb.
My tutu story is from the Princess Half of 2012 – we ran the race, then decided to wear our tutu’s to dinner that night. In the meantime, we ran into Jeff Galloway! What a FUN night – I wouldn’t trade it for anything!!
I hope you have a great weekend! I’m looking forward to things returning to normal and getting back on the workout routine next week.
What are your weekend plans? If you’re racing, best of luck, hope you have a great race!!
LoveRun half in Philly.

DeleteI am not racing this weekend, but will be volunteering for the Coastal 5k for Autism here in Wilmington. I love volunteering at local races and cheering on all the runners! Love your tutu for Monika photo!

DeleteThat is so fun that you got to shoot a commercial for work! I am so in Aww over what you do for a career and admire you so much! What a rewarding job that must be! Have a great time this weekend! My sister is home this weekend and we will be going to a Murder Mystery!
ReplyDeleteI appreciate that so much, thank you! A murder mystery....how fun is that! Hope y'all had a great time!
DeleteThis week has been crazy for me too. I have focused on taking it one day at a time and making a conscious effort to have "grace" in every situation.
ReplyDeleteAh...Grace. Thank you for the reminder...definitely something I needed this weekend. Thanks, Paige!
DeleteSounds like a very busy week for you! Hope your weekend is relaxing after your event!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lauren! I had a great weekend and was glad when things finally slowed down! :0)
DeleteThat was SUCH a fun night. I still can't believe we did that!
ReplyDeleteMe either...that and acting like fools in the hallway! Good times...good times!
