Dates and Pecans

on March 25, 2009

Sorry I bailed on blogging last night; I just needed to take a hiatus. I got the BIGGEST post-wedding To Do finished!

Finished the thank you’s! I also got professional pictures printed for the bridal party’s cards.

It was fun to relive all my wedding memories!

I actually woke up late (again) and I was SORE as all h-e-double hockey sticks. Jillian Michaels destroyed my abs and shoulders last night! I’m going to wait until later to see if I can do the Shred tonight. (I also pushed back my run to tonight).

Breakfast was quick and easy:

My oatmeal contained:

1/2 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup milk
1 sliced banana
Toppings: chopped dates and pecans

Holy YUM!

And…. I’m off to work! Sure wish I had hot water to shower with (yes, we still don’t have hot water).

Your wedding pics are great! When was your wedding again?

It’s so much fun to re-live the memories. We got married last August and are still waiting on the album. I can’t wait to re-live the day again through the pictures.

Hope you have a great day!

Isn’t that the best feeling, sending off that last thank you card?

Argh! I was so sorry from Level 3 too! My shoulders and abs are killing. Last night I did Level 2 again after my 2 mile run. Its all I could handle. Tonight I might go back down to Level 1 since I’m still feeling it this morning!

Congrats on finishing up the thank you cards! That’s a big thing to check off your list!

Hope you start feeling less sore. But it’s a good sore right? Haha.

Betsy March 25, 2009, 5:44 am
No hot water?? Ugh. At least you have water though… 2 years ago over New Years we had NO water for 5 days. That was pure hell!

what did you eat last night??
Brittney March 25, 2009, 6:22 am
I would go crazy if I didn’t have hot water! But I guess having cold water is better then having no water.
Amanda March 25, 2009, 6:22 am

I continue the obsession with your yellow bridesmaid dresses. And, I love pecans so much. I want to make peacan butter next.

I just read about your to-do list from yesterday. Excellent work! 🙂
