Well here it is, Sunday night and I am feeling like the weekend flew by much faster than I had anticipated... but I must say, it was a great weekend! My parents celebrated their 28th Wedding Anniversary, which is soo awesome!! And I know that I mentioned in my last blog about what I had planned for a "sensational Saturday" - and it was sensational in all forms! Just as I knew it would be!
It started out with my alarm sort of scaring me when it went off (which kind of made me laugh) and then getting my things together to go down to the coffee shop. I picked my table...which is something I'm a little picky about... what would you call that? table snob? ha. Anyways, once I picked it out, I started reading in Ecclesiastes, but before long I had to get up and grab something to drink! I chose Vanilla Tea... YUM! One thing I love about tea is that you get lots of refills of hot water, its not near as bad on my teeth (no one wants brown teeth), and nobody wants coffee breath! All around, I give it a 10! :D Oh, and I couldn't pass up something out of the bakery case! Who wouldn't want to eat a Strawberry-Peach scone?? Come on.... SOO good! I zapped it in the microwave and got right back to reading. My friend Kathryn was there with me so we jibber jabbered off and on - but seriously, before I knew it, it was 9:30! We had been there for an hour and a half!! All GLORIOUS time of course!!
Next on my list was the recreation complex! Yep... trying to get healthy and fit! First on my list was to run a mile (it was a medium fast speed) so I got nice and warmed up/sweaty (sorry boys, not to burst your bubble, but girls sweat... alot sometimes!). Next, I did some major speed walking, which actually can start to make you soar in no time at all! So I did till i decided it hurt too much, then rode one of those bikes with the arm pump things too! And this time I did the entire 15 minutes using my arms (sometimes these guns can't go the entire time, I guess I'm moving up from a pellet gun to like an air-soft gun or something!). Then I did some more speed walking and lunges, abs, head stands of course, and I tried to karate kick the punching dummy (has weight at the bottom).. and when i kicked it with my running approach, it JUST ABOUT came back and hit me in the face!! Kathryn was laughing at my sad attempt to look tough! I guess this means that I should never try to pick a fight with someone, I'd lose!
The rest of the day consisted of taking a nap, doing homework, watching the olympics and hanging out with my stinkin amazing roomies!
I know this is getting long, and I don't want it to get tooo wordy - but my older sister Whitney is coming to Manhattan for work stuff -- she'll be here TOMORROW!! I'm soo excited and can't wait to see her. I miss her. I miss my family. I just miss feeling like a kid sometimes! if that makes sense! It was soo easy then - no decisions, no worries (except things like if you can have your friend stay over in 3 weekends or something!).... We will have a blast - I'm sure I'll fill you in on the happenings!
God bless! Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
