Good Monday Morning!

Saturday re-cap
-Worked at the garden center till noon... went to Ann Taylor Loft to buy a new top for the football parties... just because

-Went home and started helping Matty pack for his month in N.J.
He is a great traveler and packs very wisely, but I was trying to press some things for him and I fold better

-Then we went out to run errands and pick up some loose ends for the trip... we grabbed lunch and tanned and hurried home to shower and get ready for the parties!!
I got a low cut light cotton sweater with a cami underneath and a long beaded necklace. It looked sweet!
I donned my pink (yes, PINK) Ohio State hat with the block 'O' on it and off we went to watch OSU whoop Texas!! Holy crap, that was AWESOME!!! Go Dan and your fighting Irish Buddy!! They kicked arse too, man!!
for zero alcohol and LOTS of water! for buckeye candies and a sliver of apple pie and a brownie and ice cream... then coffee cake and banana bread at breakfast on Sun. Not the best behavior on the food front.

Sunday recap
We stayed overnight at the second party and Matt had promised breakfast so he got up and made everyone a custom omelet. What a darling It was great and everyone really enjoyed it. That's my man

Matt and I went home to finish packing and shower... We left plenty early so we could stop at the bookstore for some magazines and a map... we stopped for lunch and sat around looking all mopey

Somehow in all the flurry of activity Matt misplaced his ATM card so I was a little stressed about that but he'll just have to cancel it and wait for a replacement...

I dropped him off a little after 5pm and then sobbed my way out of the parking lot.... Pathetic!

So now, it's Monday....
I did not get off to a good start. It's my fault. I got later than I like to run but MIL had stuff to carry up from the basement... I could have squeezed it in but I didn't want to be late on Monday morning to work ( I hate being late! ) so I will mow the lawn and the neighbor's lawn as soon as I get home from work and if MIL ('B') isn't home yet I will run 3-5 miles real quick before she is ready to tackle the basement! Then I will still be right on schedule for my fitness goals! She ('B') will prolly sit down to eat a bit of dinner and do a few things so I should have plenty of time.

Work is same as always... ugh.

Matty has called me several times... God bless him! I know he doesn't have to let me know how he is but it makes me feel so much better to know he is doing just fine.

This week is crazy...
Mon- help MIL get stuff ready for the Kidney Foundation to pick up...
Tues- Bible Study
Wed-Work at 'Urban Gardener'
Thurs-Dinner w/ Katie & Becky
Fri-coffee w/ Emily after work and then over to babysit the brothers for the weekend
Sat-Work for 'U.G' from 7am -7pm / Stay with the boys
Sun-Work at 'U.G.' from 7am -6pm / Stay with the boys...

Let's see, that leaves no free nights. Bummer.

I'll be glad when that's all over!

So the goal is to kick a$$ these next 25 days till Matt is home for good and get a good strong jump on this weight loss!

Note to self: Get 12# weights at Target this week!!

Thanks NoMo's for all your love and PM's about missing my hubby!

I love you Matty!
