Spring has finally sprung!

Which was evidenced by the plethora of people on patios drinking beer yesterday, myself included! Let's just say that not enough water was consumed in conjunction with said beer and leave it at that.

Came home when the sun went down (and it got cold) and watched a movie (W.) then crashed. Didn't sleep very well, though, so I'm sure there is a nap in today's plan somewhere. I really should go for a run, too. I just need to get my lazy ass off the couch!

Hope the sun is shining wherever you are!

Yaaaaawn!

Super tired--got home late, went for a walk and a cuppa with the boy and got up at five this morning. I can barely keep my eyes open and I even caught a quick nap after work!

Went to celebrate my fave person's b-day tonight. Had a yummo Greek dinner and fabulous company. The restaurant was empty, so her hubbie danced for us. It truly was a sight to behold. =P

I just finished a couple episodes of Corrie (I need my fix) but since I can't keep my eyes open anymore, I think I should call it a day. So good bye, Tuesday.

Busy, busy, busy!

I'm wiped from the weekend!

Here's the recap:

Saturday
- awakened early by downstairs neighbour, no nap
- farmer's market with the rest of the city (I hate crowds)
- 4.6K walk in girly shoes (not my best idea, but darn I looked good)
- dinner and house party

Sunday:
- kept awake by downstairs neighbour
- awakened early by same neighbour (Grrrrr!)
- run (not good--race on my regular route and it wasn't marked, so I had no idea where to run where I wouldn't be in the way. Add to that my superior lack of training and I'm amazed I lasted as long as I did!)
- Garden show with G. Again, another crowd, but we did enjoy a few sunbeams. Also a quick stop at Community Natural Foods.
- costco run with C. Have I mentioned how much I love crowds?? But I did stock up on Tazo chai concentrate which means I can kick my S'bucks habit and save some $$ everyday. Also got a big jar of Almond butter for a fraction of the price I paid at Superstore! Score one for H!
- Dinner with other C. Yummy chicken/veg curry, daal, naan and basmati. A Pom spritzer with mint and lime to finish it off.

Monday:
- pick up rental car
- go get mail that's been held while the sidewalk wasn't being cleaned
- drive 1.5 hours north to visit high school friend in hospital
- drive 1.5 hours home for last French class (that will involve vine and cheese)

So much for a day off to relax, but what else is a friend to do? I must go and relax now--I picked up a new meditation cd today, so we'll test that out. Peace out.

Saturday morning update

- Mother Nature doesn't seem so bitchy this morning. I think I actually see the sun!

- I missed coffee and stairs with the girls. I woke up at 4 and it took about an hour to get back to sleep. Then the dude downstairs CRANKED his tv/stereo/whatever just after 7. Seriously! Three stomps on the floor soon corrected that and I was able to drift off until just before 9. C phoned and I think I snapped a little "I'm sleeping. I'll call you later." I rolled over and managed to get a little more sleep before Nerm decided that she absolutely needed food or she would faint from hunger. sigh.

- While Nerm was eating, I did some yoga with Rodney Yee. Sigh. I heart yoga.

- Yummy brekkie: oats cooked in vanilla almond milk with crunchy almond butter and dark chocolate and a mug of chai

- Better hop in the shower. Farmer's Market calls!

Get out and enjoy the day!

TGIF

I am so glad it's Friday. I'm on call on the weekend, but I have a good feeling about it. Not that a little double time wouldn't be appreciated, but I'd rather have the weekend to myself!

Coffee and stairs tomorrow with the girls. Apparently we're shaking things up a little and instead of our regular walk, we're doing the stairs up the river bank. All 167 of 'em. Bring it on!

Picking up mini cupcakes for party in evening and then the boy and I are hoping mother nature co-operates so that we can play outside! Then we're making an appearance at aforementioned party. Then.....who knows?!

I need to go to the market this weekend: I'm down to one apple and there is only one type of cheese in my fridge! Granted, it's a very large chunk of amazing gouda, but I've become accustomed to some variety. Monday is our last French class and there will be wine, so I'm going to take du fromage. AND, this is the best part, I have Monday off! No working for me!!

All in all, it's gonna be a good weekend. I just know it.

Thursday musings

Well, it's almost the end of another week. Whew! I've been staying up late after work but still waking up early and then snoozing for awhile, so I wake up feeling not quite rested.

The sun is shining and the sky is blue, so I think I'm going to head outside for a bit. Not sure if I'll walk or run, but I need some vitamin D. And the forecast for tonight....SNOW. Sheesh! Are we not done with winter yet? Apparently not, according to Mama Nature.

I have actually tracked food in my WW online journal this morning. Egad, that hasn't happened in awhile. I need to get my ass in gear, though. Vancouver is fast approaching and summer right behind it. Biking and running are MUCH easier when I don't have an extra 20 pounds on me. This I know is true.

So with that, my friends, I am off to the great outdoors! Hope you get a chance to enjoy some today, too.

Hump Day

Nothing new to report here. Came home from work and watched the remaining episodes of 'Being Erica.' I do have the new Yoga Journal to peruse when I'm on my break tonight, though.

Got up and did some yoga and talked to my mom. Am contemplating finishing the laundry I started on the weekend, but we'll see. I'm going for lunch with my friend, G, who I haven't seen for over a month. Pho at our fave noodle house is in order!

I should get moving--I tend to have very lazy mornings when I work evenings and then wind up rushing around to get ready for work. I hate that!

Happy day, all!
