Long Weekend Ahead!
I am super excited for the long weekend! Any day off from work is okay in my book, especially if that day is a Monday! I have no real big plans this weekend. I plan to… relax!! hang out with Chris make a trip to the farmer’s market go to yoga for the first time in SIX weeks go to body pump run a 9-10 miler watch fireworks! In case you’re fairly new to the blog, check out what I did last year for this holiday: My cousin had a huuuuge party for the fourth, and in included a pig roast, good times!

Valentine’s Dinner at Athos
Happy Valentine’s Day! Especially to Chris, who is my Valentine today! 🙂 We celebrated V-day a bit early this year since tonight I have class and Chris has soccer. Last night we went to Athos Greek Restaurant for dinner! Chris got reservations for two. This place was really nice inside and I wasn’t expecting it to be so classy. The lighting was dim–perfect for a romantic dinner! The only downside I saw were the placement of some of the tables. We were almost on top of the neighboring couple. Too close for comfort! (Think: Cheesecake factory style.) Everything on the menu looked amazing. We started by ordering beverages. Chris got…

Ringing in 2011
Happy new year! I hope everyone had a fun and safe new years eve! Chris and I started New Years Eve out with dinner at Wine ‘N Diner. I called ahead to see if we needed a reservation, but it turned out they weren’t crowded at all! Score! We each ordered a drink, I ordered Champagne with raspberries and Chris got a New York beer. We ordered black bean dip with avocado and house made hummus for an appetizer. The pita bread was warm and chewy, and the hummus and black bean dip were really good, but could have used more of a kick. It was a bit bland. I…

Christmas Update
I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday. I know my family and I did! And so did a certain cat! Where’s Cedric’s present? In his stocking of course. Cedric got some treats and a toy lizard for Christmas. Too bad he wanted nothing to do with the catnip lizard. He would rather be playing in luggage set boxes. We had fresh french vanilla coffee and White Christmas Tea while opening presents with my parents! I opted for the tea! (in my new Starbucks mug –thanks Brendan!) Some of my loot: A hand held blender!!! A headlamp (for nighttime running) and some sweet Smartwool running socks! Post present opening I…

Some Not So Good News
Are you glad its Friday, or what? I am for sure. It’s been a hectic week, with my office holiday party, on Tuesday, and yesterday Chris and my sister’s boyfriend both came over for dinner last night with the family. The holidays are in full swing, that’s for sure. Yesterday morning I started out with something healthy to make up for my crappy eating this week. Honestly, I haven’t been making the best decisions food wise lately. It was probably stupid of me to try to actually lose a few pounds during the holiday season, but right now I’m trying just to maintain my weight through the holidays with lots…
