almost on my way.....
This past weekend I worked like a maniac. I was frantically trying to finish up some last minute stuff so that I could attend a friends birthday and a housewarming party.
I was pretty strapped for time, but somehow I managed to squeeze in just enough of it to put together a peanut butter-brownie torte for the party. It sure didn't look like much, but that 'bad boy' contained 2 lbs. of peanut butter-fudge in the middle....it was amazingly rich and dare I say it, sickeningly sweet! Those with a 'sweet tooth' in the crowd absolutely loved it :) I swear, that damn thing weighed 5lbs. when I finally put it all together.
The birthday 'get together' was great. We went to a local restaurant only a few blocks from my house. Once upon a time I ate there regularly, but I haven't been back in some time. The atmosphere and food were as great as I had remembered they were.
(my sis, Lisa, Bon & moi)
Bon-bon and I having some fun
and of course, a celebratory drink with the birthday boy Christian...one of my closest friends who is practically a brother to me.
Ah, good times! The birthday fun seems to be increasing with every passing year.
I'm outta here tomorrow.....off to Las Vegas, baby! I can't wait!
This last month has literally sucked the life right out of me. And let me tell ya, I can get pretty irritable when I don't give myself enough 'down' time. Between getting a head cold on my way to Montreal, training and working too much, I NEED a break! Aside from my head cold, the rest of my stress is self-induced. I'm constantly pushing myself when I train, I don't get enough sleep, I work more than anyone should and yet when I'm totally run down, I still find a way to pick myself up and keep going. I guess I'm fully living up to the stereotype of my Type A personality. I suppose some would say, I'm burning the candle at both ends.
Sure, I push the limits of what my mind and body can handle, but my 'saving grace' is that I KNOW when my body just can't take any more. So, I decided to take two days off to unwind before I leave to Las Vegas...yesterday and today :)
I'm sure my stay in Las vegas will come with tons of sleep deprivation, but I'll still feel rested when I return home. I'll be back with candid pics, I promise!
