October 2011–Craziest Month Ever

Uncategorized

FacebookTweetPin
1 Oct

How’s your day going? I still feel like sick, so I let myself spend the day on the couch with some snacks and good trash TV. Just what the Monica ordered Winking smile

I took a super short nap (I think 20 minutes?) and then jumped up for some food. This is why I hate naps – I wake up with the worst low blood sugar and head to the kitchen half asleep.IMG_0076 (800x600)

Then, I headed to Costco for my weekly grocery shopping trip. Sickness doesn’t stop me partaking in samples! Sad But True Sidenote: I didn’t want this right away and put it in my purse for later. IMG_0079 (800x600)

When I glanced at the calendar in preparation for my 90 day ‘get it together’ challenge I saw how crazy October is going to be! Part of me is excited, a bigger part of me is stressed!IMG_0081 (800x600)

First I have a little ol’ marathon to run October 9th.image

The following weekend I am headed to a Bachelorette Party cruise for my friend Susan.susan and monica outsusan and monica vegas

The last Bachelorette party I went to was for her sister Lisa, so it’s the same super fun group of girls!!! I am so looking forward to partaking in excessive amounts of adult beverages after my race! I earned it right?!vegas!

*Note: Both events will require a lot on hydrating and result in blisters on my feet. But for different reasons Winking smile

If you want to read those recaps:

Viva Las Vegas

Serendipity (The restaurant on the strip)

Las Vegas – Minor Details

The next weekend I’m headed to Panama for a week! This is Ben and my anniversary trip <3OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

So, this is the only low key weekend of the whole month and I’m sick! Fail.

Question: What are you most looking forward to this month?

THIS IS YOUR YEAR.

      Well my October isn’t going to be nearly as busy as yours, but I do have my 10-year HS reunion to go to, my anniversary to celebrate, and a b-day party to go to for my niece and nephew. All within the next two weekends!

        And duh. I can’t believe I forgot: but the SparkPeople cookbook comes out on Tuesday! And since I’m going to be in it, I should probably mention that! 🙂

      I love October! I’m running a 10k and half marathon this month, going to visit a friend down in Charlotte and my wedding anniversary is this month! And it’s both of my parents birthdays. 🙂

      Hope you feel better!

      I’m super jealous about your trip to Panama!

      I am excited for my trip to DC to visit some dear friends AND to have a 26.2 mile tour of DC, AKA that Marine Corps Marathon! Running for Team Semper Fi Fund.
