tomorrow is friday & i am so thankful that it is almost the weekend! tomorrow will also be our warmest day yet, temps in the low 70's! can't wait!
i was so excited to finally watch due date this weekend..and immediately after clicking "publish post" on friday's post, i ripped open the red netflix envelope to discover:
cop out?
ummm, while i'm sure this movie is wonderful & funny, this is NOT what I was expecting. soooooo instead, we watched the hangover for the umpteenth time. never gets old! i love that movie (even if i fell asleep 40 minutes into it!) honestly, i needed to get my zach galifianakus fix!
i guess i'm not the only one who is super excited to watch due date, because netflix has notified me that it will not be available until march 22nd...ok, i'll wait..
in other recap info: i am very happy to report that my recent brooks purchase was indeed a good one. brooks is by far the most comfortable & supportive running shoe i have ever experienced. if you are looking for a new running shoe, i very highly recommend brooks!
on the job front: i have nothing new & excited to report:(
it is depressing, and i'm sad about it.
but, i saw this:
while i may not have the dream job, (or dream car, dream house, etc...) i, by no means, live a tough life. i have the best boyfriend a girl could ask for, some pretty fabulous girlfriends, & and an amazing family. i can say that, job stress aside, i am happy..and more importantly, healthy.
march is here in full force. the upcoming weather is predicting floods and downpours..yuck!
can we fast forward a week or 2?

i splurged a little bit & i cannot wait until my purchase arrives..which according to my shipping date, SHOULD be tomorrow. allow me to introduce my new running buddies:
brooks glycerin 8
can't wait to start training with these bad boys..haha
in other news - today is ash wednesday! and so, being the good little catholic that i am, i finally (at 7:30am) decided what to give up for lent! my afternoon snack & any/all desserts. this is a win/win. give up something that i have EVERY day, and hopefully, slim the waistline;) in addition to this, i also like to do something nice everyday. so i will also be making sure to say something nice to someone. by the way, that is a great color on you! ;)
so happy it's wednesday..the weekends do not come quick enough!
tonight we had a little family dinner - shawn, chris & me!
chris is shawn's best friend and he is easily one of my best friends as well. chris does so much for us, so every so often i like to make him a home cooked meal to thank him for being such a great friend!
tonight i made his favorite: baked ziti with sausage, garlic toast, and caesar salad. best part: chris brought the wine! thanks chris! he brought my new favorite red: un4seen which is a blend of zinfandel, malbec, petit verdot, and merlot. it's tres delish! i highly recommend it!
i hope you had a wonderful weekend! happy sunday funday to you =)
i hate it, because i honestly love blogging! but i sit down & nothing comes to mind. .
so, i thought i'd do a list of random things about me!
here goes:
1. i am naturally blonde, through & through. (just get some highlights once in a while.) i laugh at myself at least once a day!
2. i have a plethora of useless knowledge regarding celebrities, names of people from high school, song lyrics, people, places, things, outfits worn, food eaten, smells, etc...
but i can not tell you anything worth while, haha. unless the above list is worth your while=)
3. my favorite place in the world is central park, nyc.
4. i am the biggest animal lover. i've never met an animal that i didn't like, or animal that didn't like me!
5. my biggest fear would be a tie between spiders and those million legged creatures that flutter across the floor late at night.
6. i love to read.
7. my best friend is my boyfriend & i think that our relationship is awesome! i never knew that i could ever get thisclose to someone.
8. my favorite movie is "the holiday". i could watch it back to back & not get sick of it.
9. my favorite memory is from a trip to nyc. in was mid january and shawn & i took a train ride to the city. we spent the day walking around, shopping, eating and drinking. it occurred to us that neither one of us had ever been ice skating at rockefeller center. so we finished our drinks, hopped in a cab and we were off to go ice skating!
10. i love to run & plan on running a marathon. i think it would be awesome to call myself a marathoner!
