picture: group shot before mur.mur in atlantic city

this morning i woke up refreshed and ready for the day, however, towards lunch time i started getting a migraine. i thought i could fight it off with lunch but it continued to get worse. i'm not sure if it's because i haven't gotten in a good work out since saturday or if nature is just running it's course. i was supposed to be going to the gym tonight, however, i forgot my tennis shoes. if i feel better after dinner i'll go tanning and then head over to the gym for a walk. i have a feeling that once i get home i will want to crawl in bed and pass out.

this weekend i went to atlantic city with my brother and his friends. we had an amazing time! i really got to know three of the girls better and had a blast at the club (mur.mur) on saturday night. we took almost a hundred pictures in just three hours! i was behind the camera for the most part but got a few good shots of myself too. the girl beside me (in black and white) is caroline (a.k.a.: kooks). she is my brother's best friend's wife. i don't have a sister but she sure comes close. there was a women's clothing store in the borgata so we spent about an hour in there and i found the cutest shoes ever! they were $105 so i was sure to put them back, however, the three girls surprised me with them just as we were getting ready for the club. being the sap i am, i cried and couldn't thank them enough. it was something like that which made me realize i am very lucky to have such great friends.

my brother, roger and caroline are going to new york city this weekend so caroline (roger's sister) and i have planned to go shopping on saturday. we're basically the same size so it narrows the selection of store down to just a few. no excess walking needed! in addition to the shopping, my co-workers and i are going out for drinks on friday night and i have class on saturday morning. sunday will, of course, be spent with mom having lunch and running errands for the house (i.e.: grocery shopping).

don't even bother looking at my food diary...fast food has been my best friend. despite the horrific weekend, i've started to get back on track. today's lunch was tuna on wheat with all-bran crackers. my mom is also doing everything in her power to encourage me to eat better. she goes on vacation next week so i'll need added motivation for the ck crowd! forums, here i come! =)
