I started writing this post on my birthday eve as a little birthday preview. And now it is a week later, so we’re just going to work from scratch.
Here are seven things that happened in the seven days since I began trying to write this post.
1. Karaoke with many wonderful friends.
2. Hiking at Manassas in 100 degree weather. We followed it up with some well-deserved cheese burgers and Wisconsin style custard.
3. A gorgeous birthday evening.
4. Bought some handweights. Nothing says “super fit” like some 7lb dumbbells. I think I also need some three-pounders…
5. A major change in direction at work that has made for exciting, adrenaline-pumping long days and not a lot of use of my running shoes or handweights since Wednesday, though I’ve been wearing this sweet bracelet my sister sent me for my birthday from My Saint My Hero — I’ve been eyeing her St. Benedict’s blessing necklace for a while…
6. Tina Fey’s Bad Seed
Nothing like a comedian telling stories about that special breed: the sociopathic toddler.
7. Watching the new best-worst show on television: UTOPIA. Put a bunch of crazy people on a few acres of land and film it. This show does not seem to have any actual goals, which is awesome. Just a group of insane people fighting each other and drinking wine on national television. And it is supposed to go on for a year. Yes. Yes.
Crazies gonna crazy. I just have to keep reminding myself that these are the kind of people that go, yeah, you know what, I think I could definitely start a society. Totally equipped for that.
They could definitely have used this:
But luckily it is mine. My brother knows me so well. Love a project.
So many awesome things in this post!! Karaoke, hiking in Manassas (I miss Virginia!!!!) and now you’re brewing your own beer?? Nice!
I’m so glad you commented so I could find your blog, Brigid! 🙂
p.s. I use 2-lb. weights. How pathetic is that? So at least you’re doing better than me!
It was really an amazing week and weekend! (The 7lbers were too ambitious. Just dropped some 3lbers in my Amazon cart…)
