Wow...almost a week has passed!

It's Monday again, time to start another crazy work week! I can't believe it has been almost a week since my last post. The word busy does not even begin to describe how t hings have been going for me.
Between my job, going to the gym, my family...there is just no time for blogging lately. I love to blog....but, something has to be pushed onto the back burner for a while...and, blogging it is.....
Hopefully soon, things will calm down for me with work and I can get back into the swing of things.

As far as my life and my family...we are all doing well. Other than the huge blister I have on the bottom of my right foot right now...I am doing awesome! Hubby and I went out for our date night Saturday night and the shoes I had on were sexy as hell, but not meant for dancing....ouch! We went to dinner Saturday night at McGraws...oh, my..there food is so delicious...a little on the expensive side, but the restaurant is very upscale, the wine selection is amazing....I had the best glass of Merlot then I have ever had in my entire life....we were really dressed up, as is most patrons that go to this restaurant....when we were almost finished with our meal, this group of guys walked in, all dressed in shorts and t-shirts, wearing ball caps, they sat at the bar...hubby was not impressed...he thought these guys were being really disrespectful, for wearing there ball caps in the restaurant...I mean, we don't allow our boys to wear a hat out to eat, or even at home at our dinner table, so Hubby told the hostess his thoughts on the matter, He said, "This isn't McDonald's...those guys need to be a little more respectful of this establishment/the owner and the other dining patrons, that come here, shell out big bucks for the ambience as well as the food"...the hostess totally agreed, and within minutes, we seen one of the managers talking to the guys and next thing you know...the hats were removed....too funny! After dinner, we decided to head downtown to the Knickerbocker Saloon...for a cocktail, check out the band that would be playing there....I had this martini, called the Sharkbite...it was really good, but what was so amazing, was the colors...my...this beautiful blue with some red swirled in it...yum, yum...the band was really great, they played the best jazz...I could have sat and listened to the ma ll night, but it was really hot in there, so we left after an hour or so....we went to the Neon Catcus, the same bar that we took our friends to last month...and it was just as bad this time, as it was last time...I don't think we will ever go back...just not our sort of crowd anymore....anyway, that was our Saturday night.

I never realized a blister could hurt so bad. I am honestly limping! Yeah, I am a wuss.....seriously, I can't even go to the gym tonight...this stupid blister is going to throw off my whole work out routine for the week....I try to go 3-4 times a week...so, in order to do that, I will have to go Weds, Thurs,Saturday and Sunday. Tomorrow night, I have a hair appointment after work, so that doesn't allow me any time Tuesday....there are just not enough hours in the day...oh, wait a minute..Thursday is booked up too....I have parent/teacher conferences after work...so, I guess it will be Weds, Friday, Saturday and Sunday...
That is going to be hard...I try to give myself a break in between days I work out, because, let's face it...I am old....my body doesn't hold up as well as it did 10-15 years ago....Saturday afternoon, I went for a work out, ran 3 miles, walked 1 mile, then did 10 minutes of cardio on the bike, and 20 minutes of cardio on the eleptical, then 45 minutes of weight training....afterwards,I got sick....I have never gotten sick before....I didn't think I was going to be able to drive home....Hubby was mad at me for pushing myself so hard....an we came to the conclusion that I was an idiot, and drank way too much water during my work out and maybe that is what made me sick...but, I have to drink lots of water...my mouth gets so dry when I am running, and I pause the treadmill and throw the water down....so, I am going to try and hydrate more before my work out and drink less water during...
Ok...moving on....
Hubby and I had such a nice day on Sunday....not only was the weather beautiful...but we didn't have to get kids until after 6 Sunday night....so, we dressed and went to town, he took me shopping at the mall....I really needed some new clothes.....everything I have is way too big now, and I was starting to look like a bag lady....so, he bought me some really cute clothes for work and some work out clothes...then we went to lunch at Christo's....there food is always so good and it is cheap! I think our total bill came to like $18.....we had just enough time to go home, take a little nap, then we had to drive down to Rockville to get the boys....
After picking them up, we had to stop at Hell Mart for groceries, Subway for the boys dinner and then home to bathe, clean up and get them in bed...
I did manage to watch most of Desperate Housewives....in between trying to get everything else done.....

Tonight is Dancing with the Stars....surely to goodness, Cloris will be gone...why oh why do they continue to keep her? I mean, last week, due to Misty May being injured, Rocco was safe, otherwise he was going to be voted off...now, he is not very good, but compared to Cloris, come on? I mean...it's almost like American Idol with Sanjaya..remember that? How people kept voting to keep him on..just to screw around...I think that is what is happening here....Hopefully, time at work tomorrow will permit me to do my Dancing with the Stars recap....I will definitely take my notes tonight and try and be prepared for tomorrow.

In other Dancing with the Stars news...do you guys remember a couple seasons ago when Helio Castraneves won with Julianne? Do you remember how crazy I was about him and her...I even drove around with a vote for Helio sign in my car...I know, lame, huh? Can you believe what is going on with him? He was arrested for income tax evasion? The dude owed millions of dollars in taxes, didn't pay them...He has tons of money, why would he be so stupid....he truly deserves whatever sentencing he is going to get....I loved him, what I thought he stood for...now, he is just another disappointment...I hope Penske racing fires him too!

Well, that's all I have for now...I have to get to work, lot's to do, so little time...
Have a great week everyone!
