Another too short weekend

As usual the weekend just wasn't long enough. Although I did enjoy the time to myself. I was able to get a 6 mile run done yesterday around a 9min/mile pace. The weather was perfect! My Wii Fit came in the mail on Saturday so I also played on that all weekend. My obliques freakin hurt from all my hula hooping action. I love the hula hoop game! A lot of the weekend was spent running errands and putting together the wedding invitations. I probably only made it 1/3 of the way through despite staying up to midnight both Saturday and Sunday night. I am not 100% happy with how the colors turned out (the two blue's I used don't look fantastic together) but honestly who cares people are just going to throw them out anyways. I got my haircut after 4 months (shorter than I wanted but luckily it grows fast!), met my friend who just got back from her honeymoon for lunch then we went to my venue to take pictures for my florist. Once I get the new camera installed on the computer I will post pictures of my venue. I love it so much probably even more now that it's not January and barren like when we booked it - who cares that we are paying a ridiculous amount of money for an empty room and garden! It is like this beautiful sanctuary in the middle of downtown Chicago. I picked up a thank you gift for my future mother in law as my first bridal shower is next weekend and so on and so forth. And how can I forget seeing Sex and The City on Friday night with the girls! I'm happy to have seen it openinng night and enjoyed it for the most part but wasn't so happy about sitting 3rd row. My neck still hurts. This will be another crazy week for work travel wise but I hope to squeeze in a couple short-medium length runs. I have been kicking around the idea of running a 1/2 marathon 2 weeks before the wedding even though it will be hot just to wear a shirt that say last race as a single girl or something lame like that ;) Also to motivate me to stay in shape before the big day! Anyone care to join me?

At least you have a great attitude towards the whole wedding/invites. There are a lot of other brides out there that would probably have a temper tantrum LMAO!

I love the Hula Hoop one too! It's probably one of the ones I'm good at HAHA

The hula hoop game is the one I stink at. I try to do it and my wife laughs at me

I love the idea of running a race with a funny shirt like that! I think it's a great idea.

I also saw SATC on opening and got to sit in the second row. My neck was killing me too. My only complaint about the movie (other than the seating) was that it seemed a little long at parts, but maybe that was only because my neck was dying...

Wow, Jamie...you're really efficient at being a busybee. I can't believe you fit all that into one weekend. Very impressive.

And I think it'd be cool to run a half-mary with a shirt like that...after all you need to half-mary before you go for the full marry...catch my drift?

What half are you looking at and when? I think that shirt is an AWESOME idea :)
