Weekend Recap!

Hi friends! I'm excited to report that I'm blogging from a much faster version of my computer! Yeehaw! I haven't been able to upgrade software yet, but Eric helped me add a ton of memory earlier today and my computer is running practically like new! :) Seriously, it had gotten to the point where I'd click a blog; it would load...and load...and load.. and then I read the blog and want to comment...and it'd load...and load... *sigh* Anyway, I'm rambling, but wahoo! 

Friday night, I co-hosted a little celebration for my good friend, Sara's, 30th birthday at Edward Delk's downtown! 

Seriously, I never know what to do with my arm and it always ends up on my hip....
thus making me have awkward-arm. Oooohwell. 

 ...And some of us wore mustaches. (I just couldn't resist these at the party store. I mean.. hello.. MUSTACHES!)

Her mom got her a Winnie the Pooh Cake b/c it was her fav growing up! How cute is that?! (We also got her a flashing tiara. Pooh+ mustaches + tiara = good times). 

It was a really fun night for a fantastic friend! Her actual bday is on New Years Eve, so it can be hard to get people together. I actually can't remember the last time we've had something organized JUST for her birthday before this year. She traveled for the actual day, but I'm so thrilled we were able to get something together here in town to celebrate! Everyone needs something special for their 30th. I had such a great time on mine and it meant so much to me.  :)

Saturday morning, Ashley and I met up, just as planned, to try Crossfit together at 918 Crossfit! I'm so proud of us!

We did what they call the 'baseline' workout in their green ramp program (the thing for beginners) and it was HARD! I thought "Holy crap.. this is the thing they do as a BASELINE?!" But, it was hard in a "I want to come back and get in better shape" kind of way. My muscles felt a little like jello yesterday and it kinda hurts to move my arms I'm definitely sore today. ;) But, I'm eager to go back this week! I've heard such great things about Crossfit from friends who've recently started at 918 and also have been intrigued ever since a great bloggy friend, Kelsey, started talking about it on her blog a long time ago! Worth a shot!

Saturday night, my middle name was lazy. Eric, Gracie dog and I threw on our pjs.. well.. Gracie doesn't have pjs but you get it... and rented Contagion. I hadn't really cared about it in the theater, but the reviews were really good, so we opted to give it a shot.

Thoughts: It was pretty good in that it kept us interested the whole movie and moved really quickly. Glad we rented it. Would have been totally cool spending cash to see it in the theater, too. I'm always interested in conspiracy theory-esque shows/movies. This wasn't really a conspiracy, but along similar lines.

Oh...and on the same thought.. We finally finished Jericho. I'm glad they wrapped it up in a conclusionish way (I make up words), but I wanna know what the heck happened to it! I mean.. there were apparently talks of movies, sequels, etc.. and then the talks just stopped. Grr... Eric and I've tried to find another show, but have been hard pressed to find one we've been as obsessed with as Jericho.

So that was the weekend! I hope you had a good one!
