happy birthday miranda

Happy Birthday to my sweet Sister-in-Law Miranda! Wish I was in Cali to celebrate with you :)

weekend recap

Had a wonderful weekend!  Here is a recap:

Friday: I was awakened from my slumber at about 10 pm (it was a long week, see previous post) on Friday night to find out that Rob passed his final boards test!  I couldn't be prouder!  He celebrated in STL while at a bachelor party and got off the couch to take care of celebrating with fellow future dentists at Sol.

Saturday: Ran a million errands and had lunch with Rachelle.  One of the errands included picking up my new camera...hopefully I will be posting more pics on here. Spent the rest of the evening playing words with friends and catching up on last week's shows.

Sunday: Brew to Brew 2011!  Had a blast with my team running from Boulevard to Freestate Brewery. Besides the wind and 90 heat my 4.8 miles went well. I have a pretty intense sports bra tan to show for it.  Kind of weird but it makes me feel like an athlete again, its been forever since I have had a sports bra tan! 9 hours in the sun l wore me out, I was asleep by 9 pm. 

Supporting William Jewell, I don't own a jersey so this is what was left

Good thing I got plenty of sleep last weekend, because this weekend will be a different story.  I will be celebrating Amanda's last weekend as a single lady and a Drury mini reunion.  I hope to be posting appropriate photos next week.

happy wednesday

Its only Wednesday.  Longest week ever.  You know its a long week when you want to drink by Tuesday (which I did).  Then today I had a director ask my if I know how to take notes in a meeting and proceeded to remind me that she has done her time and no longer takes notes.  All this in front of other co-workers. What I wanted to say in return was not appropriate (or appropriate for my blog) so I just held it in....and then proceeded to finish the meeting, based on the notes that I took in the meeting in question, so yes I know how to take notes.  For lunch I had a latte and cupcake from Mildred's and I don't care.  Happy Wednesday to me.

something blue

Good thing this wasn't at the bridal shop when I bought my dress, I would have spent my unborn child's college education to have it....

i want the gold

Happy St. Patrick's Day!  Kansas City gets very excited for this holiday, I mean Pauly from Jersey Shore will be in the Power and Light tonight! I am so glad I remembered that I have this shirt because it is perfect for today, even if I am breaking the dress code at work.

This video will NEVER get old and explains what my shirt means.  I hope everyone enjoys the day!

butter cream icing

Yesterday was my the first anniversary of my mom passing away. No, it wasn't a sad day. That doesn't mean that I didn't think about her, miss her or remember exactly where I was a year ago. It does mean I got through the first year.  They say its the hardest one, I hope they are right because it was a long one and it of course had its ups, but it had its downs...like nose dive into a black hole down. A down I have never experienced but I am better because I have.  I now know what it REALLY means to be sad.  Sorry ex-boyfriends, you got nothing on this.  Back to my point...yesterday wasn't sad, it was good.  Really, it was a good day and of course there is always something missing since my mom isn't here and yesterday didn't change that. So we made it, as a family, and of course with a cheers of red wine to my mom at dinner (a heart healthy dinner of salmon and risotto made by our family friends).  Another reason it wasn't sad is because I came home this this at lunch...flowers from Benjy and Miranda and Cheryl's Cookies from Stephanie and Andy.  The only butter cream icing better than Cheryl's was my mom's :)

having a rough day?
